Haha, I made the same mistake too, but this interview is from 17 years ago. Was thinking "this guy ages better than anyone in the history of pro-wrestling"
When Steve was talking about slamming his head on the ring I winced. That’s pretty scary how much wrestlers probably crack their heads on the ring or chair shots etc. Very scary.
@@kenterminateddq5311 You've made assumptions both ways and drawn a conclusion from that. I don't know if either of them still train. I'm taking it from what we know for sure which is both have previous combat experience and boxing is the most tested combat art on the planet along with amateur wrestling. Like I said Marc isn't scared, he has no reason to be.
I've had two concussions, ever. One in ice hockey, one in boxing. The one in ice hockey was particularly notable because I couldn't even stand up on my skates without falling in 2-3 seconds, the whole ground seemed on waves. Boxing was similar, got smashed, literally saw batman-like star bursts, and then next thing I know I'm laying on the other side of the mat, my feet like 1-2 meters back from where I remember being and everyone watching with a "Holy f***!" expression on their faces. Note, it was at heavyweight, but I was closer to 95kg, while my opponent was around 110, mostly muscle, around the same height as me (about 195). They're not fun, I can only imagine the damage having 25+ of them.
I don't know how much he was really made an impact in wrestling, but I'd throw Dan Severn in there, as well as a whole host of Japanese pro wrestlers who were also MMA fighters, like Kazushi "The Gracie Hunter" Sakuraba.
Angle destroyed Brock in real life during a shoot wrestling match. People would’ve been more afraid of him than Brock. Brock is big for nothing but had no stand up, hence how he got destroyed twice in the UFC at the end.
@@Kiss_The_BulletDestroyed him? He never destroyed him, stop trying to bullshit. They had a shoot and angle scored a single takedown and it was over. Angle himself puts Brock over with just how strong and fast he was and said he by no means beat him easily. A single take down. If you want the real story, it's best listening to Angle himself and not some random misinformation online.
I never understood why people think Kevin Sullivan killed them yea she left him for Benoit but this happen 7 yrs after she did why wait that long if he was going to kill them it was also discovered that her and Benoit weren’t as happy of a couple as it seemed they were always fighting and she was going to divorce him so I’m guessing he just snapped I wish people would just accept Benoit did it and let him rot in hell
by the way to state the obvious I don't see pro boxers running around killing their families...............so much for the absurd and lame "he had to many concussions" nonsense.
I absolutely love what he's saying about guys being adults. What happened with Benoit was very sad. What he did was absolutely horrible. Did the state of his brain have anything to do with it? I 100% believe that. That being said, these guys chose this profession. It's a profession full of tough bastards. You choose that life and you choose to keep on going when you're hurt. A lot of it is about pride and commitment to your cause. I was a paratrooper in the Army. To this day, that's probably what I am most proud of in my entire life. I have a massive number of injuries and conditions caused by doing that job. Most of them built up over a large stretch of time. I didn't go to sickcall very often to get looked at because the boys depended on me, and I depended on them too. I didn't want to be seen as a shitbag and cause them to suffer more because I couldn't be there. Now, would that have helped me in the long run. Yes. It would have for sure. But I chose not to go get checked out. I'm responsible for the choices that I made. I chose that life. I chose to take pain killers and drink copious amounts of whiskey to deal with the pain. I'm no longer doing that since I got out thank God, but that's the choice I made...I'm glad I stopped doing that, but at the time, that got me through to the next day to be there for my guys. I'm really glad he's making the point that these are grown men making their own life choices. It isn't up to an organization to police your life choices. It's up to you. Personal responsibility...It goes hand in hand with what makes men free. If you want freedom, you have to have personal responsibility. If you have one but not the other, you're either a leech or a slave.
It would be nice to see Steve Blackman do 1 more hardcore match when he would go to work on his opponent with kendo sticks I remember growing up seeing Victory after victory by the lethal weapon from his hardcore matches if wwe hasn’t inducted him into the hall of fame yet they should
Too bad we don’t have the mufuggin fight with him and JBL on film 🎥 Great muffgin interview from a great muffugin guy and very underrated Attitude Era star
I have to admit I don’t understand the conspiracy theory. Why would it have been a setup? What’s to gain? Honestly just don’t understand. I would love someone to catch me up
@@0mattp0 What do "they" say happened? *WHO* do "they" say _did_ _it_ ?! Why none other than the leader of the Dungeon Of Doom, the Taskmaster himself of course!! Mr. Kevin Sullivan!! Oh yeah, or it was Vince. Yeah, it was either Kevin Sullivan or Vince. Or the Illuminati. Yeah. It was either Vince or Kevin Sullivan or the Illuminati. Also, whoever it was _also_ had Benoit's former Stampede tag-team partner Biff Wellington killed as well. Why, you ask? JUST TO MESS WITH US. THEY DID IT JUST TO MESS WITH US. THERE'S *NOTHING* MORE IMPORTANT THAN PLAYING SUBTLE MINDGAMES WITH US. NOTHING, EVER.
Respect more of Steve Blackman. He talked that he suffered like Benoit did but Benoit did more damage to himself. Many cannot watch a Benoit watch cause of what he did. I can say i can watch a match of his knowing the damage these guy and others like him put themselves thru. So yeah much respect for Blackman.
When Marrow was doing the Jonny B Bad gimmick, I was very entertained by that character, after getting to the WWE he lost my interests. It’s almost like he was one of the WCW guys that Vince buried, seems like some guys Vince pushed and gave tv time and let do their thing, other guys like Marrow just got the shaft and faded away. I wonder if he made these decisions upon hiring them or waited to see the crowd reaction. It sure seemed like he targeted people the moment he hired them or before in some cases. There are a few exceptions Austin, Calaway, Helmsley, Roads. Then there are the other guys that just never got the time to impress the crowd. Guys like Vader, Morris, Regal. Some of them refused to fade away and got over organically anyway.
Nothing against Blackman as he's obviously a good guy, but with shoot interviews we now know how regularly messed up the wrestling business can be behind the scenes, maybe Mero was pretty disgusted with how some of the wrestlers behave and how a lot of the wrestlers got treated with work schedule etc... I don't blame Mero, and he definitely doesn't come across as bitter, definitely came across more like he was concerned, he's always saying how grateful and fortunate he's been financially
Its always one that thinks it was a setup lol...he did it. Its jus what it is. We get it he was a dope wrestler 2 things can be true tho. His PHYSICAL evidence was all over the crime scene nobody else lol
I’m gonna say Abdullah the Butcher. Dude I was like 12 when Nancy was The Fallen Angel with Kevin Sullivan. She left quite the impression on me as a young man. She was absolutely beautiful. Tragic how it all went down. What a waste.
Still looks the same, except his hair color is grey now. I remember when he was in WWE, he arguably was the greatest Hardcore Champion. He works as a bail bondsman now.
To frown upon an ATHELETE for taking ANYTHING is just dismissive... these people abuse theit bodies DAILY FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT...they are human beings...its only so much abuse a human body can take. Its delusional to be judgemental toward these humans when most of us couldnt surive a GYM workout with these guys let alone actually being the athelete
How on earth can you be surprised that Marc Mero is bitter?! Was signed to the WWF but Vince from day one was eyeing up his wife who was never involved in the business before. Then pushed her at his expense, humiliating him in doing so. And then to top it all off his wife cheats on him with another wrestler (Lesnar).
all honesty you gotta remember when Nancy and Kevin Sullivan were married it seemed their marriage was a somewhat violent one & that carried over to her marriage to Chris. Not saying she was asking for it by any means but if Nancy did end up smacking Benoit in the face or something for one reason or another, in the mental state he was in at the time, thats definitely the reason that he snapped & killed her.
Violent people are just violent peope - there's no provocation for DV. Benoit was probably violent due to his brain damage - but regardless his wife didnt "provoke" him or her ex husband.
Will never believe Benoit killed his son… I reckon his wife did it and he killed her out of rage and then himself out of grief and guilt… Even Kevin Sullivan doesn’t believe Benoit could hurt his kid and Benoit stole his wife ffs
@@game8224 Benoit was a bastard for probably 5-10 minutes. Nobody really says bad things about the guy except for at the end which nobody saw. Nobody knows what really happened.

Mark got a big money contract. So he was making a lot more than Austin, Foley and others. I think that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Legit badasses of wrestling are Steve Blackman, Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock.

Sakuraba, Severn, Angle, Gable, Riddle and others are certifiable as well. I'm sure there's some obvious ones I'm missing
