King Kong Bundy & One Man Gang vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Dr. Death Steve Williams (1983/09/23)

[@kenpalmer1965]

This is the first time I have seen Dr. Death without facial hair!

[@impalaman9707]

I thought he looked great---why would you ever want to hide a face like that with facial hair? Nice chiseled Superman jaw line and chin with a large body around it. Looked like a million bucks to me

[@johnbrown9410]

Me too! He looks so different

[@greatesttoysevermade3693]

Great big man match! Brings a tear to my eye at how great wrestling used to be.

[@JruGordon]

17:00 that's impressive, Dr Death picking up Bundy, HOLDING him while turning, and then power slamming him. Never saw Hogan hold Bundy for that long

[@bladerope]

This has been such a great quarantine channel!

[@Chasingstorms24]

Paul Bosch's Wrestling in Houston was the best. Would have loved to have gone to Sam Houston Coliseum to watch it but I was just a kid.

[@Chasingstorms24]

Look how big and green Dr. Death looked. butwithin one year he change all of that by getting into shape and becoming a legend. I was at will call for the Saints-Cowboys preseason game in Shreveport when Dr. Death was standing there waiting on a friend to get their tickets and I got a chance to say Hi and his voice was definitely shot at the time and the next thing you know everyone spotted him and gave him respect and took pics. He was a legendary superstar in Mid-South and very well known.

[@kingdwight9796]

That’s the biggest I’ve ever seen Dr. Death ☠️

[@tigerconway]

Wow never seen one and yes the gold days of wrestling

[@markbowman6655]

17:27 The true glory days of the sport of professional wrestling, that's how it used to be.

[@k-dawgbroadcasting5444]

Four big fat men writhing around on each other? That's not glory days, nor is it appealing to the general public...

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

Vince has now made it into a circus.

[@MadMike1978racing]

I didn't know Dr Death Steve Williams was that huge back then. Wow!!

[@mayorhaggar1275]

I didn't think that ring post would hold up The One Man Gang 😅

[@warrenlewis5792]

King Kong Bundy was a menace back in his early days(The 1980's) of Wresting.When I first watch wrestling in 1986 he destroyed Hulk Hogan after assaulting after the match in the Saturday Nights Main Event which lead to a WWF Championship Match with The Hulkster .Thank You Bundy Rest in Peace.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

The WWF paid him well but ruined him . KING KONG BUNDY should have been a main eventer for years but after Wrestle mania 2 he was just a Heenan Henchman .... I liked that Bundy always presented himself as a smart professional , wearing suits on interviews and talking about dominating wrestling .but ince he went to WWF he was just Hogan fodder .

[@eddiecoyle9152]

*Just watched Bundy on the WWE network from 1981 under the name Chris Cannon?, full head of hair and he jobbed out to Rick McGraw ,go figure....A few years later he headlines Wrestlemainia*

[@oveidasinclair982]

This was a good ending, the Gang, Bundy, Hacksaw and DR Death always put on a great show

[@1950Grendel]

The "great show" is what you don't get anymore. The only heels are on the mic - when they get in the ring everyone's the same.

[@renechavez914]

Wow. I forgot what good wrestling was. I could watch this type wrestling over wwe.

No doubt this is what we all need right now.

Very interesting early days of wrestling, I tend to watch alot more of KK Bundy wrestling these days because he died same day as my old man, March 4th 2019, and my dad used to watch wrestling, especially Mid South, all the time

[@mattm6580]

I think dr deaths beard is on Gangs head.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

I always thought Bundy had the best Monster Heel physique . George ( OMG ) Grey and Chris ( KKB) were two really cool guys. Doc was was a typical jock and a bit of a prick . Duggan was cool too ...I saw him taking pictures with the little old ladies after the match hamming it up for them . Making them feel special . Doc , I think he was a super competitive guy and only respected othwr jocks . I heard stories of how he was not aporoachable but I don't know if that was just Bill Watts in his ear telling him to act like a heel full time . Bundy ? Bundy loved an aydience . A funny guy really .

[@CP-kb1du]

King King Bunny had a Drive Through Physique

[@mr.perksy]

Fun match with these legends. All so young, in their 20’s here.

[@JKTube]

9:20: That's practically Colt Cabana's "Hey what's that?" spot, and Colt was only three years old when this match happened. Oh, and Bundy was actually outsmarted there by Duggan.

[@royluksch2799]

Jason and brother Jacob

[@pd7608]

It's still real to you damnit!

[@funkyflashman]

Never realised how flabby Doc was early in his career.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

He was playing for the New Jerssey Generals at this time and had to keep his bulk up . He was about 325 lbs here . But Bundy was four and a quarter .

[@alwaysamysteryyes2021]

Right? Still got muscles but morr bloated. Looks like his WWF action figure that sat on shelves for months!

Doc would be down to 275 in about three years when he was at the top of UWF...

Imma show my love 4 wrestling NOBODY mention CAPTAIN LOU WAS THE REF.🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

[@josvel2344]

I just realized it thanks to your comment

[@0ldFrittenfett]

So this is why even the ref is enormous. Hacksaw looks kinda lean there.

[@andyash929]

The ref is Rick Ferrera. He wrestled and sometimes used Igor Putski as his ring name

[@TheOttercreek]

Damn that’s what I call some beef in that ring.

[@mannyhamburger9297]

Lol looks real .I miss the days

[@tonyarceneaux286]

And this was years before hacksaw Jim duggan would feud against Dr.Death in mid-south?

[@mikethomas2641]

👍👍👍👍🍺. 'Nuff said.

[@joeytrimble1558]

holy jeeez what a slam by dr death at the end there .. he picked that big bastard up and dumped him

[@kingsports1113]

Dr death Steve Williams was buff as hell

[@georgechen5231]

Wow, before their days in WWE.

[@Danimal77]

WWF****

[@Wingnutcaseman]

Overall this is a classic big man vs. muscle man match. My biggest pet peeve is around the 16:40 mark when Bundy is holding the ropes instead of trying to stop Steve from choking him. McMahon would’ve fired him for that.

[@CP-kb1du]

King King Bunny ...King of the Drive Throughs ...

[@MrTomanderson76]

Is this back during the days at Mid South Wrestling out of Tulsa?

[@lecocollinsworth4029]

Wow he snapmared gang.

[@1950Grendel]

Doc's first full year as a pro wrestler - hard to believe he's the small guy in a tag match.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

He was the shortes but I think he and Duggan weighed about the same 315-320 .I don't know why they always said 280 for Duggan ... he was obviously Bigger than that

[@kingsports1113]

Damn wrestling was the wild wild westuntil Vince came n clean it up

[@RT4021X]

Wow I just came across this video while browsing some old school wrestling. I didn't know that King Kong Bundy and One Man Gang were in the same match and even teamed up. I know they had teamed later in a Survivor Series I believe, but does anyone know if these two H.O.F. worthy big men had ever faced each other in a singles match? I know back then the wrestling promotions really protected the kayfabe with heels and faces but is it possible that these two had a match that maybe wasn't televised?

[@marianojar7778]

Came from duck dynasty

[@MadMike1978racing]

One Man Gang looked a lot like Jerry Blackwell....only taller

[@donovanredmond8050]

So very true! Imagine them tagging together?

[@Chasingstorms24]

King Kong Bundy's 5 count gimmick was the brainchild of Jim Ross. It worked like a charm.

[@AngelEyes-bt6qp]

Bundy said in a shoot interview it was Bill Watts' idea.

[@greatesttoysevermade3693]

That was great! I remember as a kid he only insisted on the five count in squash matches 😂! Loved Bundy and five count, classic heel!

[@stephenkinq5425]

Very good Macth ... These four Mastodons could move ... Hacksaw nd William [combined weight] Near 550lbs versus near OMG nd Bundy 780lbs

Should put tag belts on Bundy and one man gang as Hills and maybe skandor Akbar in the corner LOL

Bill Watts believed in Dr. Death's ability in the ring and it pay off big time.

[@alainmallette2265]

Super heavyweights war!!!

[@revbud3123]

I think the snapmare suplex is the only wrestling move in the match. I was impressed by how much air Hacksaw got on those elbows and on that cross body block. They way the crowd popped when the bell rang was amazing. What a fantastic match, sad that Duggan got bedazzled by money and let Vince turn him into a caricature of himself.

[@donovanredmond8050]

You notice that unusually amazing cross body block with a 180 spin to it! That was sweet!!!!
