[@timthegem]

@@TheTalk23 Most self-defense classes are money-making schemes that are structured so that the students feel like action heroes. No competent instructor would teach something that gets people killed. There was a famous case of a woman who was murdered while jogging. The man who killed her was later apprehended. Her family insisted that it couldn't have been just one man, because she was a martial arts expert and would have fought him. The killer heard this and was like, "Yeah, she did fight. She should have run." But people won't spend 3 to 6 months training (and paying) to get the next color belt for their gi if they're taught that running like hell is the best way to survive.

[@billywashere6965]

Ken Shamrock said that Steve Blackman ws the only one that could take him in a striking match. That's exceptionally high praise coming from someone as decorated as Shamrock, given that the only person could match Shamrock in his stand-up -- at the time -- was Don Frye.

I stumbled upon Blackman in a Rite Aid a few years back. We had a very cordial, 5-minute, conversation. Obviously, he wasn't there to talk to me and I was a little bit concerned about detaining him from his business, but he never acted like it bothered him at all to talk to a fan. In fact his girlfriend showed up and ask him to move along, but instead he introduced me to her and told her some of the conversation we had just had. He even ended the conversation by thanking me for recognising him. I hope that doesn't break the image of him carried by almost everyone. 😉👌

What part of Bradshaw looked at Blackman and went “yeah, that’ll be light work.” Met Steve at the Wrestlemania pre-show years ago, and he’s one of the scariest people I’ve ever seen in person. He doesn’t even exude a badass vibe, just one that suggests he could casually rip your arms off at the stump if he were compelled to do so.

[@MrRjh63]

From memory Bradshaw wasnt the only one who tested Blackman so did Vader unless im conflating someone else.

[@r_z1]

@@MrRjh63 Vader and some other guy bullied Blackman in Japan during the late 80's. Blackman didn't fight back because he promised his family he wouldn't get in to any more altercations, just do the 6 weeks in Japan, suck it up and go home. After he recovered from malaria years later, he looked for Vader with the intention of beating the shit out of him, Vader apologized.

[@yoyo2ma]

And aside from his Martial Arts fighting skills, Steve is jacked, super strong. We saw his grappling skills in the Brawl For All and how he tossed Marc Mero around with ease. Was a bodybuilder before he became a wrestler. Looked like Incredible Hulk before he had Malaria but still regained much of the muscles back.

[@donaldb93]

Bradshaw broke in when ribbing was still a big thing in wrestling. And being a bully, he justified it in his mind as "all-in-fun". While I'm not a fan of ribbing, I do realize that it can be a way to build comraderie, and test a guy to see how he handles his ego when embarrassed. But then, there are those people who take shit too far- causing pain, financial, and even relationship problems with pranks. And not everyone responds to ribbing, teasing, or bullying the same way.
