Ricky steamboat is so nice. 🙂 A while back I wrote him a letter and asked him if he could autograph a picture for me. Not only did he autograph the picture for me. But he noticed that my sharpie sucked. So we wrote a little note to me saying "I went ahead and used a paint pen for the autograph I hope you don't mind" The autograph looked absolutely beautiful and is a prized possession in my collection to this day.

@mjdf122 OK my friend, I couldn't leave this alone. Had to try to clear the good name of Tito Santana. I searched thru out the internet, there seems to exist no footage of him as a heel anywhere. I went to different sources, including Wikipedia, several different forums on Reddit, a wrestler record data base and some other wrestling websites and all of them unanimously cited that Tito (along with Stramboat) is one of the rare wrestlers that stayed baby face their entire career. The closest Tito came to turning heel was during Strikeforce were he reportedly begged Vince McMahon to turn him heel but Vince wisely turned Rick Martel heel instead.

In the late 70's the Apter mags promoted the hell out of the then youngsters Flair-Steamboat Carolina feud. I'd love to see extensive footage of that. The late 80's Flair-Steamboat trilogy was THE Gold Standard for U.S. wrestling for all-time. Loved how that seguewayed into the Flair-Funk feud. It blew the WWF cartoon wrestling out of the water. They also had a great forgotten 90's, I believe '94, TBS Saturday Night match that I've got on tape somewhere. Steamboat was a great star.

i don't think we can overstate who significant steamboat was to the careers of so many in the 80s and early 90s. you look at his feuds, tag teams, matches and nearly everyone who worked with him went on to MAJOR success. flair is of course an early example but then jay youngblood (only hurt by his own demons), piper, jake the snake, savage, honky tonk, flair again, dustin rhodes, steve austin, shane douglas, etc etc. it's not to say these people were not legends in their own right or wouldn't have had success without steamboat, but steamboat's programs with them preceded (except flair) a near supersonic launch in their status within the business. and when asked those guys (all of them) praise extensively and cite all they learned from him

they really got sidetracked on this review. Last misremembered, Steamboat came back a few weeks pripr to Survivor Series 87, illogically teaming with Savage who he had just been feuding with. the Intercontinental title loss is one of the weirdest things after such a big match. Vince really screwed himself in the early 90s. He lets Rick Rude go, then chases off Steamboat for a second time., and pushes silly gimmicks. Rude and Steamboat were two of the better things in WCW in the early 90s. Glad to see Ricky living well. Did not know of that serious brain bleed. it was nexus who injured him, not jericho
@nicholasvertucci2054
@nicholasvertucci2054 Ай бұрын
Savage teaming with Steamboat wasn't illogical. It just didn't have a build-to. In kayfabe, Savage had to prove to the fans that he had changed and Steamboat trusting him was the ultimate endorsement. Savage asked Ricky to be on his team and Ricky said "yes" because he's THE good guy. That's more than enough for a SS team. If they were going to explain anything, Steamboat not wanting to work probably killed those plans.

@@nicholasvertucci2054 actually Savage's whole face turn was illogical. He fought the Honkytonk man out of jealousy because he was calling himself the greatest I-C champ. so yes Steamboat going from still feuding with Savage 5 months earlier because Savage injured hin was illogical. Even Last brought that up several months ago. Here you have Roberts and Savage with Steamboat and he'd just had blood feuds with them both. in WWF land in the 80s nothing that happened two weeks earlier existed

The story as I understand it... Steamboat wanted time off so he could be home for his son to be born. Vince pissed on it and said that that would leave the intercontinental belt dormant for too long. I think steamboat wanted off more than 2 weeks. So from what I understand, was steamboat winning that much time off it would affect Vince's b shows. Because Vince was running A, B, C shows like 6 days a week. And with steamboat as the champion he would have most likely been the main event in the b shows. So that's when steamboat said fine I'll take more time off then. But steamboat wasn't gone until WrestleMania 4. He had some rematches with The honky tonk Man. He was at survivor series 1987. So I think he was really off only four or five months.

Both Flair v. Steamboat & Flair v. Savage are GREAT matches 5 stars across the board! But as for the greatest WWF match (singles) I would have to go with Mr. Perfect v. Bret Hart for the I.C. title (Summer Slam) has to be one of the if not "THE" Greatest (singles) matches ever in the old federation imo.

I did not know about that last WWE appearance with the NXT stars beating him and (unfortunately) hurting him legit. Think that was a pathetic angle attack on the companies part. They probably have a tag team revenge match down the road. But real bad turn out. Sorta like when the Dudleys put Mae Young thru a table but that worked out.

First Japanese American world champion in WCW history, Steamboat earned that honor, but haven’t been mentioned due to not being from Japan like Shinsuke Nakamura, but Jinder Mahal was first Indian WWE Champion but he’s Canadian

@@theophrastusbombastus1359 not really but it should be mentioned, WWE doesn’t have a first English born WWE champion either it would been Davey Boy Smith in 1995-1996, William Regal in 2008, and Wade Barrett in 2010, thanks to Vince. Charlie Dempsey son of William Regal would be the first of English descent to win the wwe title and he was born in Atlanta

Technically, it was still identified as the NWA World title when he won it, even though it was under the auspices of Turner's World Championship Wrestling company with NWA branding

@@danpoutsma1351I didn’t think Steamboat cut a promo that he be the first Japanese world champion in NWA. He isn’t Japanese born, his heritage is from Japan from his mom side of the family. Flair didn’t cut any racial promos on Asian descent wrestlers to my knowledge since Flair is very popular in Japan.

I can't blame Jericho this time it was one of the Nexus NXT jobbers that injured him, never happened in the two matches with Jericho.
