Former WWF/Stampede/NJPW Steve Blackman recalls his near death experience in South Africa and his terribly tough road to recovery. In 1989 Blackman was brought into the World Wrestling Federation to wrestle a couple dark matches.
Steve had a verbal commitment from Vince McMahon and was ready to sign a full-time contract with WWF. Unfortunately, Blackman would get deathly ill and nearly lost his life. 8 long years later, Steve would eventually debut for WWF as "The Lethal Weapon".

i love Steve Blackman!! but he was on some kind of drug! i don't care but did "YOU supply it""" just to get him on the show!!...did YOU egg him on and promise drugs and alcohol....cause the Steve Blackman i know don't do that stuff!
It's funny because you look at Blackman in his prime and he looks like the vision of health. Bristling with muscles and alert as can be. And then you hear about him having to sleep 18 hours a day for 3 years and it really drives home how precious and delicate health is. Just a reminder for me to never take it for granted.
Death took one look at Steve Blackman, pissed his pants then ran away crying
Steve Blackman gives Demons Sleep Paralysis
😂Yup!🤘
What’s amazing to me is that he’s so calm down to earth and polite yet he’s one of the legit toughest guys in wrestling. Haku is like that too… just a very kind and calm guy.
They GOTTA do an episode of Dark Side of the Ring on Steve! Considering how he came out, it would be one of the few happy ending episodes!
Which episodes have a happy ending?
@@edospina97 Beefcake and Bagwell
@@ScarFace5566Beefcake is still with his wife that doesn’t sound like a happy ending.😂👍
@@sethputnamsghost Nah, Brutus divorced Hogan years ago!
Hes gay?
It’s SCARY to think when he says this Story was 20 Years ago while realizing this Interview itself is almost 20 Years ago Now!!! 😬😬😬💀💀💀
why would you hurt me like this...
Haha Sorry!!! 🤘🤣
So does that mean his story was 40 years ago? Wowwwwwewwe
1989 Steve Blackman was beast looking.
For real. Didn't know he was that jacked back then.
Wow , Steve can even whip the grim reapers ass , your move Haku
steve muuuuuuuuuuuuuufuggin blackman
You're as cold as ice
I've been having those same symptoms Blackman had. I'm always tired, always thirsty, I feel like fainting, and I'm to tired to workout
Get your fasting blood sugar tested asap. Also at the same time get a HgA1C.
@@mmagic3534 thanks.
Sounds like Diabetes.
And have you gone to see a doctor? Have you had blood work done?
Cut your masturbation down by half and lmk how u feel
Whenever I get sick I watch this video. I remember years ago I saw this on a different platform and I was so so sick I could only go to the bathroom and drink water and I felt much better mentally after hearing his story. It was H1N1 I was in bed for an entire week. Well 5 days until I could actually grip up and go outside.
the H1N1 was way worse than covid ever was for me
I can relate to that one, got disentary back in 1997 as a teenager, because the water supply was contaminated in my home town never drank from the faucet since
Isn't this the same thing that happened to the Deadman's wife? She told a similar story of nearly dying from dehydration where she was always tired and lost like 20 or 30 lbs. in like a week.
Steve has so much potential I don’t understand why they didn’t give him a much larger push.
Ken Shamrock & Steve Blackman. All had potential! What a waste of talent!
Shamrock did well not sure it it was "wasted"
@@chadk890he did well throughout 98! WWE started to fail him around 99 when they started booking in matches with dumb storylines against Val Venis, Bill Gunn, Goldust, Chaz and Meat.
Steve Blackman was like: “I am never going to South Africa again”. 😆
Thats a crazy story
Legend
Jesus. Sound like absolute torture
Attitude era pioneer
I can sympathy, I've been sick for like 10 years now. Keep wondering if I'll ever get better.
Sympathise* have you been to a Dr and had blood tests or have you buried your head in the sand

Ive been to durban 🇿🇦 south africa. Was there on a ship. 🚢. Working as a deck hand. Beautiful place. But theres some dangerous areas where they will kill you for a dollar
To live through was because the shape he was in he was a beast , and it matters I got so sick I lost over 20 pounds in under 20 days I was in a great shape at 198 at 5/4 28 inch waist doing kick boxing rolling but I thought I was dying my friend also but it was maybe a month later watching the news they started talking about a virus called covid and we are thinking that's what we had we wiped out everybody my friend was admitted for 5 days doc said if I didn't bring her in that night she might have died but that was over 3 yrs ago and we still say we are not over it yet I still can't put no weight on I lost over 50 pounds on all my lifts training but it's still tough
I've had COVID 3 times...
Willing to sacrifice!!!
This dude is cool
if he gets pulled over by the cops does he identify as a blackman? ........*tumbleweed*
"This man...Super Dragon...the BLACKEST man on Earth"
Wow. Who knew
Doing an awful lot of sniffling 😂
A WHOLE LOT!!!
Maybe he had a little cold
A lot of weird mouth movements too lol
@@creon3866 Hallmark of amphetamine use. I do the same things on coke.
@@WalterDiamond me too whenever I do coke. For anyone who’s done it themselves it’s obvious what’s going on here isn’t it. Stimulants in general do it too when I’ve done exctacy I end up moving my mouth an insane amount but it’s a lot more than in this video so it just be coke like you say.
A normal guy wouldn’t have survived all this and walk around like normal afterwards lol.
Chuck Norris isn't as tough as Steve Blackman. 😤
I know he's tougher 💯
Bro hasn’t aged
This was 2007, age 44!
Bro out here tweaking
If that’s what u think you’ve clearly never done it
Coked out.
@@KizzMyAbsand tweaking is something to be proud of is it
Steve "i ran back to the company that almost killed me" blackman
Ok just noticed in the comments I'm not the only one thinking this. Is this dude still alive today?
Yep….Still alive and kicking.
@@atticus9907 in his case, the saying is probably particularly true
Yeah and hes a bounty hunter.
Underrated comment right here @@atticus9907

9:02 ive been working out for years, yeh trying to work out how i got so huge and muscular
I thought that was Eugene lol
Is it me or is he giving coke head vibes here
he is sniffing and making a lot of gumming movements- it wouldn't shock me, a lot of wrestlers love the Bolivian marching powder
💯
Ami the only one that thinks he looks like #batista ??
The younger pic he does
Na Batista looks like the Original 😂
Steroids help
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
How is it then from your experience?
Ya kinda think he's on one😂
Gurning like a mf
He’s not using. If you’ve ever used it you’d know he’s not.
@@KizzMyAbs
If he’s not on cocaine in this video I’ll eat my own shirt
The way he sniffs hard is sus. But the dudes pretty straight edge so ..allergies? 😂
He’s definitely on coke
Thank u
Def not
I was thinking that but never heard anything about him being on it.
@@buckster2575 he’s not
To think that anyone would watch this vid for more than one minute and think that he’s NOT snowblowing.
Bro his story was full of Hogan wash!! said he was sick and lost 40 pounds but said he didn’t lose any of his strength? Said he slept 18 to 20 hours a day for three years that’s how he was able to keep most of us strength? He said he had an 85 pound dumbbell that he would do curls with on each arm and then sleep for three hours? If you believe that, I got some magic beans for sale. I never seen many shoot interviews with him or know him to be a liar but he was doing more than exaggerating. But whatever, don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story 👍🏼
His story has been documented in shoots by other wrestlers in the past…
Most didn’t think he would live because he was so sick for so long. Bret Hart has talked about it, Ken Shamrock, and a couple others on Wrestling Shoot Interviews (WSI)…
ALL regard him as one of the biggest legit badasses in the business.
Some rank him up there just behind Haku, Barbarian, and with the Steiner’s due to his legit martial arts pedigree.
Vader, JBL, the Nasty Boys, and a couple others have said they wanted NOTHING to do with him after ribbing him, and realizing it was NOT taken well.
@@leeedwards9068 Yeah, Blackman seems like a straight up no nonsense guy. Doesn't seem like the type to make up crazy stories
But then again, he is a wrestler lol
You need to listen again. You screwed up some details.
@TheGameGallowsPlaythey GENERALLY don’t lie about ‘this guy is someone I would NEVER mess with’…
Typically, they don’t like to make themselves look weak in their lies…
Unless you think otherwise??
You'll probably realize some day that most of these performers talk out their a*ses
He's coked up to the guilles. Lmmfao
Big bags under his eyes
he was dying for over half a decade
And constant sniffling and moving his mouth/jaw around, and swallowing because his nasal passages are irritated.
He keeps sniffing like a coke head
People with sinus issues often get confused with coke heads but then it just gives the real coke heads away 😜
You know he's acting real strange and he keeps sniffing and moving his mouth around alot. Cocaine maybe?
I thought the mouth thing might be dentures.
He’s a bounty hunter he probably never did drugs ever martial arts master straight shooter
Yeah na you're just another making assumptions based off how someone acts with out any actual physical evidence
Is it me or is under his nose all white??? He keeps sniffing??? Pretty obvious
he also has the jaw movements!! LOL i know i have done it before!
@@scottbrown-vc2lpEveryone needs a muse I guess. Mines is weed edibles.
Blackman does not do drugs
Dude has malaria,it changed his life.
Show some class
It’s just you
the most powerful jew ever
I didn't know he was a Jew .
