Brian Blair on Spivey vs Adonis Backstage Fight

[@drexlspivey5828]

This is the only wrestling story where there's zero exaggeration, everyone tells it the exact same way

[@alwaysamysteryyes2021]

[@pauleswitalski8187]

In the late 70s in Tampa, Spivey was a known tough guy. The fact that both Spivey and Blair broke in rasslin at the Sportatorium on Albany Ave in Tampa proves that they could handle themselves. According to both Ron and Robert Fuller, CWF Tampa in the 60s and 70s was a “snake pit.” likes of Graham, Hiro Matsuda, Bob Roop, Malenko, Dick Slater, the Funks, and the Briscoes.

[@christhayil8354]

I salute Brian Blair for staying in shape and keeping his sanity; very presentable and intelligent. A lot of the other 80s wrestlers have gotten extremely fat and sound angry and bitter. It's like Blair was satisfied with his wrestling career, and knew when it was time to move on and have another plan in life.

Brunzell, Blair and Spivey all told this story the same exact way, detail for detail.

Spivey is 6”8 almost 300lbs and he had a real fighting background, plus college football. So yeah I can’t help but agree that Spivey was tough as fuck.

Most of these might not be skilled fighters. But as strong 💪 as there if they connect watch out. They'll open you up quick.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Well, of course. Anyone 250lbs or more will split your dome if they connect with a solid shot. That's just physics. Many Pro Wrestlers come from backgrounds in other sports too, usually at the amateur level, but some at high levels. As he said in this video, even Adonis was a high-level amateur wrestler in his day. So pretty much these guys are gonna fuck you up if they want to.

Pat Patterson's Creation? the fact that he was behind the gimmick of Adrian Adonis just irks me and it does not surprise me at all,I mean because its just crazy to think anyone would even go that route with that gimmick considering the times,but I guess it worked for him in the long run I suppose.

sounds like he got his just desserts, you could call it a receipt. But Spivey hardly strikes me as the man you wanna get stiff with and muck around....me thinks Adrian was too cocky and self-indulgent for his own good! I guess some people learn the hard way, sounds brutal and unrelenting. And Spivey does mention he saw him before Adonis' car accident and they made their peace, so at least the hatchet was buried

[@mmsizzlak]

Wait I feel something missing here... He described about five punches but Adonis got TWO HUNDRED stitches... Not 20...not 30 or not even a friggin HUNDRED STITCHES which would've been horror flick level already but TWO HUNDRED! You could get thrown through multiple plate glass windows and that might be the ONLY way to get that many stitches without dying if it was possible to still be ALIVE...I heard Adonis was a bully... When spivey talks about it, he makes it seem like it was a fight and that he hurt him but he doesn't brag either so it's ALWAYS the humble version lol...I want bloody details lol

The gay gimmick was working. Adonis was scheduled for a match with Hogan, but was physically incapable of going after this.
