They did the same match for "No Holds Barred" in a blue steel cage. I remember as a kid my parents bought "No Holds Barred The Movie & The Match" on PPV.

Loved the Zeus character. He would absolutely wreck Hogan in some matches. He was also the first one I remember no-selling a chair shot and I remember thinking he was unstoppable.

Rewatching so I can do a more in depth review.

Super Destroyers vs Hellriders (e-Z and H-d...lol)

Hellriders are just fat pieces of shit.

"Backrake. What kind of a tactic is that for a champion?"
He's right. Nothing more despicable than backrake.

Missed the finish while typing that. Probably looked awkward.

lol Terry Funk interviewing Hunter T Robinson the Third
"Now that's Hunter T Robinson the TURD"

Oh god promo video for surfer sandman.
lol carries a surfboard everywhere. Gotta hit all those waves in Philly.
Kay, this is going on way too long.

Tv title tournament match up next.
Tommy Cairo vs Salvatore Belomo
Bellomo ended up with Ric Flair's doomed Spartacus gimmick.
Funk: Undefeated in ecw, I'm not sure what that means.
It means he hasn't lost a match terry.
Bellomo looks like he couldn't decide whether to be a gladiator or a circus ringmaster.
Lighting completely changes when they cut to different camera.
Cosmic Commander a blatant Grand Wizard rip off.
Countout victory for Cairo. ok match.

Tony The Hitman Stetson vs The Rockin Rebel
STetson should probably get a good lawyer.
Rebel with a Rockin mullet
Super 90'sish tights on rebel.
Rebel wins with the legs on the ropes. That son of a bitch.

Oh good. Jimmy Snuka.
Guess Snuka is a heel now. Joined Hot Stuff International
Fighting some jobber.
"Snuka has a menacing look in his eye"
You got no idea buddy
Snuka wearing tiger print tights with green, yellow, and red boots. Fashion faux pas
Snuka wins

Bollomo out again for some reason. Fighting some guy in the ring who looks scrawnier than the ref. Over in 5 seconds

lol that was the main event. Jimmy Snuka gets second billing from some skinny dip shit who didn't even get his name announced. Incredible.

In 1987, Haku had a backstage meltdown with Jesse Barr (who wrestled in the WWF as Jimmy Jack Funk) which allegedly resulted in Fifita gouging one of Barr's eyeballs out, causing Barr to later wear a glass eye. After this fight, Fifita had a reputation that steered wrestlers away from backstage confrontations.

On 3 March 1989, Fifita got into an altercation with some men at the Baltimore Airport bar who called wrestling "fake", and during the fight, Fifita bit off the nose of one of the men. Fifita stated, "Yeah. It was in Baltimore Airport. There was a hotel there. We were staying at another hotel – the Marriott or something. There was another hotel there, though. It was hopping at the time. The music was playing and it was packed. It was during the week I believe. Me and Siva Afi went over and there were lots of babyfaces there at the bar. So we went and sat in the other corner away from them. When they were ready to close, we had a few drinks, and on our way out there were five guys just sitting there. Of course, the same thing came out. The 'fake' stuff. 'Hey, are you guys with those guys – wrestlers? The fake wrestlers on TV?' You know. I said, 'Yeah. I'll show you.' And I reached over without thinking – there are four other guys there (laughs) – grabbed his face, and bit his nose off. Then the fight started. Me and Siva kind of cleaned house there and left. I'll never forget it (laughs)."

In a shoot interview Bobby Heenan talked extensively about Meng and referred to him as the toughest man he has ever met. The most extreme story he shared was in regards to a bar fight in which he claimed Meng "took his two fingers on his right hand, his index finger and trigger finger, and he reached into the guy's mouth and he broke off the guy's bottom teeth." Heenan said that if he hadn't been there and seen it himself, he wouldn't believe it.

Kevin Sullivan told a story to WWE Classics about the time when he and Haku went to a tavern to grab a few beers before heading to their hotel. According to Sullivan, it was obvious that he and Meng weren't locals, so when they walked into the bar, a guy playing pool called Meng a horrible, derogatory word. "The next thing I know is that Meng goozles the guy like Mr. Spock," Sullivan said. "It was fast and furious. He then grabbed another guy who tried to get involved and knocked him unconscious." After that, things got even crazier. "Meng bit through the guy's shirt like a wolf, bit a chunk out of the guy's back, then spit it on the floor," he said. "I said, 'It's time to go.'" Sullivan said that as they drove from the bar he saw police cars pulling into the parking lot, but authorities didn't pursue them and no charges were ever filed.
