Mike "Judas" Awesome Retires
credit Keelan Balderson

On a recent "In This Corner" audio show interview with Mike Awesome,
Awesome confirmed he has infact retired from Pro Wrestling. He will
now be spending more time with his family and selling real estate.
Its interesting to note that he is very bitter towards Vince McMahon
and the lack of pay and royalties he received from the "One Night
Stand" PPV. Many argue his match stole the show.
He would happily work another ECW PPV if the money was right.

That sucks, he was so underused in WWE and WCW... he should have been a multiple time champ.

His matches with Tanaka were great. Overall he was one of the best big men ever.

Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka stole ONS. That was the best match of the show, and one of the best of the year.

He'd be a good guy for TNA. He's not going to fully retire... does anyone? He'll be back in Japan, in a year or so, all fat.

Mike Awesome is great... I never got why big guys who can fly and kick ass never were or are allowed to get over in the big feds. I mean, WCW really pulled a "WWE" with him when he jumped ship -- "Fat Chick Thrilla?" ... I liked "That 70's Guy", it worked with the mullet. But really, he's one of those guys who needs no gimmick to get over.

I bet he would have went a lot further in WCW had he not lost the ECW title, under a WCW contract to a WWF(E) wrestler.

BAH, I wish I had the chance to see more of Awesome, but I really never go out of my way to get Japanese stuff, so apart from ECW One Night Stand, the last I saw of him was when he left the WWE.

If you have a Suncoast (or comparable) video store near you, they should still have some old ECW videos. Any of his matches with Tanaka were excellent, and the match when he came out of the crowd to beat Taz and Tanaka for the ECW Title was also very good. You shouldn't have much trouble finding either of those.

Yeah, I know his shit with Tanaka was, well, awesome, as I've seen a number of those bouts. Those fuckers didn't care if it was a PPV, a weekly TV show, or a house show; if they were in that ring, they would tear the motherfucking house down and lay it all on the line.

No they don't..

After WWF bought ECW they own the rights to ALL the old ECW PPVs and haven't rereleased them.. Places like RF Video would be the spots to look..

p.s. I have ECW Heatwave 98 and their match did steel the show..

Which is really saying somehting, 'cause HW98 had a killer card.

Justin Credible vs. Jerry Lynn
Chris Candido vs. Lance Storm
Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka
Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs. Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki
Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, and Spike Dudley vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba, D-Von, and Big Dick)

Possibly my favorite ECW show.

One of the top 3 ECW PPV's of all time, easily..

RVD/Sabu vs. Hayabusa/Shinzaki should have been the match but Hayabusa was sloppy as hell..
