Thanks for being a champ. I'm so glad you shared this!
Jay wrestled Flair's last match and Ricky's last match. This says a lot about Jay who has been one of my favorites for nearly 20 years.
Plus, he just wrestled Sting at the Aew pay per view three weeks ago
Jay is having fun.
Yup.. jobbing to guys who were wrestling before he was born while he is still trying to be taken seriously as a threat. Smh.. shame.
@Nate Nizzle Jay don't care. To him it's an honor to be wrestling against his childhood heroes. He has stories for his kids...
@@karlwilliams8906 and what's he gonna say when his kids say "Dad.. you lost to two men in their 70s?!"
I was in the crowd at Wrestlemania 3 for Steamboat/Savage - at that time, the best match I'd ever seen and the pop at the end was bigger than Hulk's slam of Andre.
Thanks Jordan for posting this. I'm not into wrestling like I was when I was younger, but it still is nice to see these heroes from my childhood. Jay must be very good and respected/trusted for both Flair and Steamboat to have him participate in their final matches so that they are taken care of and not hurt. Steamboat definitely has taken good care of himself. The Rock n Roll express guys, it's amazing they are walking still walking after how long they have been going and doing that high-flying stuff.
That wasn't Flairs last match . He went back on his word and is going back to the WWE for Royal Rumble 2023

So what if he did he's a grown man he can do whatever he wants....lol
@@matthewvarnam4302 Yes, but he shouldn't BS people.
9:01 9:05 ❤
I gave up around 2000 or maybe 2002 ... not long after WCW failed . I just watch old GCW , MidSouth , and WWF Spectrum cards ( when they were still a wrestling promotion ) I like old school stuff but nothi g new
Thank you for posting this - I’m a huge Steamboat fan and had the pleasure to meet him earlier this year. He still looks great!
That was an awesome Ricky Steamboat wrestling match! He made Ric Flair’s Last Match look absolutely PITIFUL! Ric Flair is my favorite wrestler, and I could care less if I see him wrestle in the ring again. I would love to see a Ricky Steamboat match again because he can wrestle.
Well that definitely went better than Flairs last match...
Thank you for posting this Lion! I was a big fan of Ricky Steamboat as well back in the Big Eighties. His matches with Randy Savage and Ric Flair are truly some of the greatest. Seeing Steamboat in this match brings back precious memories when my parents would have friends over for watching wrestling watch parties on an ancient contraption called a VCR tape. My parents were still alive then and I enjoyed every minute of those glory days.
Thanks Jordan, for sharing this! Kudos for Lex Luger for being there to sign autographs, he's been though some personal and health problems. All who were there to sign, are all class acts in the business. Ricky looked great out there. Imagine seeing Rick and Ricky back in the day wrestle to a 60 minute match!
Jordon, I’ve enjoyed all your wrestling Vlogs, this one made me smile. I grew up watching regional wrestling with my dad. Being from NC it was Mid-Atlantic Championship wrestling. Men that are legions today. I can remember when they just starting out. I remember when when a young Ricky Steamboat first came on the wrestling scene. First time I saw him wrestling I knew he was going to be something special, and he was. It was good to see him in the ring one last time.
Steamboat still looks amazing. Thanks for living out so many peoples childhood dreams Jordan !
I agree, Kristy. I was thinking of skipping the gym today until I saw this video. I have no excuses at 54. 😁
All the guys you ask for autographs were extremely nice people. Great sportsmen! Love to see “fanboy” having a great time.
Unlike Flairs last match I watched this and wasn't worried about Ricky having a heart attack. The Dragon was awesome! ❤️🐉
Ricky looked great! And I’d like to see the Amish guy get a push. I’ve heard they wrestle like it’s 1899
Thanks for this Jordan. Ricky the Dragon is one of my all time favorites and he is a living legend that is way underrated. Also Magnum TA was big and would've been bigger. I'm glad you got to meet everyone and also give us coverage. Thanks again kind sir!
That was fantastic you met Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, got his autograph and saw is last match. Ricky is always in my top 5. Sting is 1, Ricky the Dragon 2, 3 Nature Boy Ric Flair, 4 Stonecold Steve Austin and 5 The Undertaker. Thanks Jordan.
Nice top 5. Taker, Ricky, Flair, Angle, and Bret Hart are mine.
Dude, I forgot all about this, and I feel stupid that I didn’t go. Him and Savage, when Savage came off the top rope with the bell into Ricky‘s throat. That was incredible TV, and is still seared into my mind as one of the best feud I ever saw throughout the entire time of me watching wrestling. I was lucky enough, in central PA, to get pretty much every promotion on TV. AWA, NWA, WCCW, WCW, USWF, USWA, obviously WWF and the original GLOW. I’m sure there was a few more. But I was always amazed at the fact that I was able to pick up all of these wrestling companies on my local TV. Because it was before there were 1 million cable channels.
Regardless, that must’ve been pretty amazing being at that match and Flairs last match. Again, I feel stupid I didn’t go. For whatever reason I didn’t even think about it. I think with ricks last match, I pretty much figured that he will probably wrestle again at some point. Lol. Ricky, I’m not so sure.
Such great times, and great matches that I’ve seen throughout my entire life. I even went to Wrestling school when I was 17 and wrestled until I was in my mid 20s. I truly didn’t think I would ever have a shot at doing anything WWE, because all of their guys at that time or 6 foot 2+ and 250+ pounds. What I never realized it is, people like Ricky and Bret and Shawn were all 5’ 9” - 6’ or so tall. Many were under 210 pounds or so. When I started wrestling, I was about 6 feet tall and around 170. Which I would like to go up to 190 some odd pounds. This was before the Rey Mysterio’s, and Chris Jericho’s and such were around. Had I just held out and done it for another five years, I would’ve been writing to mix with all of those guys.
My first match was in the same arena that Piper hit Snuka with the coconut and I believe it was the same place that Shawn kicked Marty and threw him through the window also. Which was the Hamburg Fieldhouse. In Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The funny thing is, when I wrestled there… Which I did a handful of times, and I also did commentary for them on sports channel. The Wrestling company was IWCCW. At least one of my matches was televised on sports channel. I wish I could get a hold of it. But in any case, I didn’t realize when I was wrestling there that those events took place there. I feel so blessed that I was able to have my first match in the same place that all of those historic events took place. Plus so many others that I probably don’t know were filmed there.
The crazy thing is, the Hamburg field house is out in the middle of nowhere. Outside of Reading Pennsylvania. You wonder how Vince McMahon ever found the place. As I think it was a high school gym, that was actually located away from the high school. It was the perfect place, back then, because it could fit probably 500 to 1000 people comfortably. With it looking bigger on TV. But I’m sure, especially back then, that it was, easier to fill and obviously always looked pretty incredible on TV.
I’m glad Lex was there and looking good. As well as so many other greats. Makes me sad. I wasn’t there with you, my friend. I hope everything else is well and you had a great Thanksgiving and have a great Christmas, if I don’t say something to you before then. Be safe and remain the happy go lucky person you are. We are a dying breed. Thank you for everything you do, making people feel like they are along for the ride with you. I truly appreciate this video and being able to watch these matches as you did. Brings out the kid in me every time.
That match is listed in many people's top 10.
You did a fantastic job recording the whole day and especially the matches, was super surprised by the quality of the filming, thanks!
Jordan we sure appreciate your efforts and quality content thanks for all you do Cheers!🙂✌🏼
Thanks for posting! I am still to this day in my 50s a huge Rock and Roll Express fan, but it looks like Robert can hardly walk. I hope their tour continues, but I hope Robert is physically able to do so. Hats off to the Briscoes for making the match look good and doing the right thing for the fans!
Thanks for uploading this. Ricky The Dragon Steamboat was the reason i began watching and loving pro wrestling.
Hi Jordan, I love all the 'Meet & Greets' with the old wrestlers, they all seem like really nice guys. Nice seeing them as they are now. Brings back so many great memories. Great vlog Jordan.
Jay Lethal is cementing his legacy in wrestling. He wrestled Flair and Steamboats last match. That's an honor only he holds.
2 weeks ago, he wrestled Sting on Aew also!
@@DazewithJordantheLion that's awesome. If you look at the overall picture of his career, he's doing more than anyone else.
@@ryandavis4448 If the big two were smart they wouldd make him the kingpin .
Love that you're having fun at these wrestling events .. quick Scotty Steiner story I ran into him at this year's Squared Circle Expo in the restroom he was coming out as I was going in I said "hey Scott" he stared me down Big Poppa Pump style and said "hey man"
As a kid I loved GI Joe. I originally got into wrestling because Sgt Slaughter was one of the Joe's. I'm glad to see that he looks healthy.
good stuff, wish I could have been there but traveling Thanksgiving weekend wont have been a good time. Feels like I was there ringside. Funny seeing Scott Steiner wearing sunglasses during the whole Battle Royal
That thumbnail is one of my very favorites on your channel now! This was Awesome! Thank you! Wish my brother was still here so that I could share it with him. Thank you Jordan. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
What a lucky wrestler Jay Letal is, to have Ric Flair's last match and Ricky Steamboat! Great to see Steamboat looking so well. Dax's punches on the come back after the hot tag looked great! A great bunch of wrestlers all round.
Yeah and steamboat didn't pass out during the finish.
U know u got alot of respect in this wrestling business when not one but to legends want u to be part of their last match,I know Jay Lethal had to be proud of these moments
Pure gold in this card, and the legends can still draw the fans in and not only fill the seats, but also keep their asses "off" the seats being so into these great matches. THAT is the magic of how wrestling once was!
Dang man so cool you got to see jay briscoe 2 months before he passed away RIP JAY
This was awesome I’m grateful I needed this to be better than Flair’s last match and it was
Quality content, quality vlog Jordan 👌👏.Good to see Sgt Slaughter again, "the immortal slime and the ultimate puke"hahaha,not surprised he had turnbuckle pads merch,considering the amount of pads he removed in his career, the funny thing was,it was always his face getting slammed into the exposed area .Loved the meet and greet of the wrestlers and the live wrestling matches ,just the whole video from start to finish,...magnificent.Also liked the sting and robocop t-shirt Jordan.
Man, Ricky Steamboat, Lex Luger and Ted DiBiase are the coolest Mo-Fo’s you will ever meet I promise! The others I met were going through the motions at Con’s, not those guys! Ricky was leaving for the night while I was in line and they told me to come back in the morning and he would take care of me, and sure enough he did , signed for me and a picture free of charge, not to mention talked to me for ten minutes at least while others were in line! Hats off to a great dude!!!
Ricky Steamboat what a legend and what a great guy too.
Jordan this is an awesome vlog! I wish I could meet as many wrestlers as you've met. I've only met like 8 or 9 so far in the last 20 or so years and Lex was one of them.
Fun wrestling match! Nice to see the wrestlers we grew up watching.
I wish they would have publicized this like they did with Flair. I didn’t even know about this. Thanks for posting this brother.
It was on fite network and I believe it replays this weekend.... All the big time wrestling shows are on fite network!
Same!
Jordan , Ricky was one of my favorite wrestlers that I watched growing up. I loved his kicks & jumping ability in the ring💯🔥 . Long live The Dragon Ricky Steamboat !!
Watched him on WRAL 📺 5 in Raleigh back in the day and the likes of Wahoo McDaniel., a great era of Wrestling
Jordan Your vlogs just keep getting better andbetter!! Back in the early 80's we used to go to the Great american Bash at old Memorial stadium in Charlotte . Great memories!!
Your pure joy certainly comes thru loud and clear. Jordan, thanks again for letting us tag along. By the way the photos with the Sarge are legendary!
This was pretty impressive .... great job Ricky. Lethal gets some love too.
Steamboat/Youngblood v. Slaughter/Don Kernodle was one of the great tag team feuds.
HEY, JORDAN & JAH
That was so cool that you meant Sergeant Slaughter I also meant him back In 1979 or 1980 in a Thanksgiving Day parade in Bridgeport Connecticut
He went right by my girlfriend's house at the time and when the parade stopped for a minute I ran out to the car he was in and shook his hand and got a quick autograph and so that was my experience meeting Sergeant slaughter
So thanks for showing him in the video
Thank you for making this video,Steamboat was and still is one of my all time favorites, you are very lucky to have met him,I'm so jealous,lol keep up the great work
Ricky The Dragon Steamboat deserved to get a bigger push back in the day!
Surely did
I'm a Durham native and have been to many an event at the Dorton Arena. Beautiful architecture. Was wistful watching this because I now live in California and I wish I could have gotten to that event! But this was the next best thing to being there. Thank you so much for bringing this to everyone. 😃
Wow I literally have tears in my eyes seeing "Ricky The Dragon Steamboat" wrestling again and he still has the moves. Man he's 69 now too. He was my all time fav along with Andre The Giant. I liked Macho Man too but the guy trying to be like him here sucks lol
This is absolutely awesome. Your choice of content is always the best.
Steamboat as a surprise entrant in the 2023 Royal Rumble!! Yes!! One last time!
Thanks for sharing your exeperience Jordan! I'd love to see Aldis go to the top in WWE. I love the Steamboat ended his career where he started it.
What a line-up at that fan-fest. Good lord, I would have loved to meet everyone there.
A buddy of mine was in WCW as the Demon and he has some awesome stories about his days in wrestling, thanks for sharing this .
I know Dale!
@@DazewithJordantheLion Cool, I'll tell him you said hi.
Love this! I love your channel because we both have a heart for wrestling as well as old TV shows and stars. Thanks for finding and showing many places and things that I have wondered about and find interesting!
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat was my all-time favorite wrestler growing up in the 80's! My favorite match (until 1989) was his WrestleMania III Intercontinental title match with Randy Savage. One of the best technical and high flyers wrestlers of my generation.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I would love to attend an event like this. I grew up with Mid South, NWA WCCW and AWA in 1984, so many memories.
24:42 still one of the best arm-drags in the business
This was interesting, i was a 70's kid 80's teen and wrestling was on in the house but i cant say i was ever a fan. as you talked, the names came back to me! I am so glad you got to meet them! Hope your holiday was amazing!
Great video, I know Glen (aka KANE), I was good friends with his best friend Mark Morton, and we lived about 30 miles from each other...good stuff man!
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Ricky looks fantastic.. his hair transplant has worked wonders
The fact that that the finish was something to remember Ric Flair's finish. Was awesome.
Bro this is my childhood all in one wrestling card thank you Jordan brother I will never forget this 💯🥂🎯
I was 11 when dad took me to see Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat at the Kinston NC HS gym. Back then, wrestling matches were in HS gyms. Good times
That arm drag man still pretty much perfection to this day 🔥🔥😎😎
This looked extremely enjoyable
Excellent video. I've never been to a signing event/convention. After seeing this, I'm gonna have to go to one. Looks like lotsa fun
Even though I don't know the first thing about wrestling. I do get a big kick out of watching you enjoy yourself so much. Those guys are nice to their fans. That's a nice thing to see these days. Thanks for bringing us along. Take Care.
I wasn't able to grow up watching Ricky, I found out about him because of the Legends of Wrestling games. When I went and looked him up I know the guy was my hero fr
Great video Buddy.
This is nostalgia overload. Well done.
Reminds me of being a kid and hanging out with my old man watching wrestling…he loved wrestling and made me love it. I miss him…thanks Jordan
When u see one of ur fav wrestler from eighty's when ur a child this. Is damn amazing
Man this was one of the homes of NWA JCP Pro Wrestling, Ricky Steamboat one of the greats.
I love 80's style pro wrestling. It was just fun😄
Awesome job Jordan , the Dragon has always been one of my favorites. A true legend.
!5:23 Rock & Roll Express vs The Briscoes. Those boys are pretty cool. The last few vlogs have been great Jordan! Loved the fact that Jay Lethal got to wrestle the last matches of two of his idols in Flair & Steamboat. I'm sure Lethal would have made a great interview. As a long time wrestling fan myself sometimes you have to mark out. Steiner was a cool guy too, met him & Jeff Jarrett along with Gillberg and James Ellsworth in Hanover, PA just before the pandemic.
I forgot Lethal did that Macho Man tribute gimmick. Savage's music hit and I had flashbacks for a second. Appreciate the video, man. Was a real treat seeing the legends from my childhood again.
I met Ricky and Robert and Shane Douglas as well. I shared the locker room with Scott Steiner for Universal Championship Wrestling a few years back, just nice guys. I'm grateful to enjoy such a life. I see alot of guys ive shared the locker room with. The Viva La Amish Tag Team are an Awesome Team and very entertaining. Nice guys as well. This was once in a lifetime
You did a great job of catching the magic of the event. One of the best I’ve been to in quite a while. I held the camera for you when you were getting clutched out by the Sarge. Cool to run across it on here.
My very first show was for my birthday Feb 12, 1987 (my birthday is the 13th) at the Dorton Arena. I’ll never forget it. The main event was a “Lights Out Cage Match with The Rock & Roll Express vs Tag Champs Rick Rude & The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez… I wish the arena were renovated to accommodate actual tv events because that would be a cool old school venue to see packed on 📺. The way the seats are designed it would look a lot bigger too.
I love Ricky Steamboat, he reminds me of Bruce Lee. And I remember when my parents took my brother and I to WrestleMania 3 when they came to Pontiac Michigan, Ricky and Macho man's match was good, all of the matches were.❤️❤️💓❤️😊
I was there. I can see myself in your video! Cool. Thanks for the upload. J.
Well produced video with a wonderful touch of nostalgia.
@27:33 Those little kid voices yelling "get up Ricky watch out Ricky was priceless. Two or three generations removed from his prime and the fans still l love him (unless these were his grandkids lol)
AWESOME !!!!!!! VIDEO !!!!! Thank you so much. Steamboat was always a very nice guy. It is great he can still put on a great show......
Can’t believe I sat in the back seat of the car next to Ricky Steamboat. Now I was so nervous that I didn’t ask him anything because I didn’t want to bother him lol. Such a great moment though
I had a great time hearing you have a great time lol. it was pretty cool to watch. stay safe !!!
It's a shame they couldn't have gone real old school and found an old NWA wrestling ring, along with original ropes and turnbuckle pads, and maybe they could have gotten Tommy Young to be a special referee for one of the matches here
The Dorton Arena has quite a rich history. Elvis and Prince have both performed there. Countless other music legends and probably hundreds of wrestling shows. I live about 20 miles from it.
Bro, that looked like a wrestling fans dream, who grew up in the era I did.
Steamboat Definitely looked a LOT better than Flair did in his last match .
Steamboat is one of my faves. Met him at Steel City Con some years back. Helluva nice guy! Thanks for sharing this video. Feel like his last match went way under the radar!
Thanks for posting, these legends events are great.
Great vid and channel. It's because of guys like you that keep the sport alive.
great vlog Jordan lots of childhood memories seeing all the great wrestling legends glad to see you had fun safe travel you & jah
I'm so jealous. These are like all my child hood memories
RUclips recommended me your video and gotta say it was great.
All the wrestling greats were here!!! Damn you are lucky my dude!!!
Haha Good stuff! YOUR REACTION PRICELESS!!!!! Thankyou for the good time!
While this match was far from meeting Ricky's standard from the 80's, it was still much better than most guys could do at 69 years old. He gave a respectable performance, and considering how long it had been since he had wrestled a match that's pretty damned impressive. He could have wrestled at a top level well in to the early 2000's. He was that great. Nice to see both Steamboat and Sting doing well in their final matches! (Unline someone else who should have let it go long ago...)
JORDAN I THANK YOU. THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL 🙏👍🏆🏆🏆🏆
