Anyone remember when WWE use to have boxing matches?
I remember seeing this when I really started to get into wrestling. Although I don't remember much. Was it real or was it not? I remember seeing Goldust boxing, Marc Mero, Ken Shamrock and I believe Steve Blackman.
They should do this again. Imagine Big Show ****ing people up? Or Lesnar? Again, my memory is cloudy. I was pretty young at the time. SUSHI-Z KICKS ASS!! |

Didn't Bart Gunn win their "tourney?" And then he lost to Butterbean at a WM? Those were awful....Boxing is a great sport to watch when the guys in the matches know what they were doing. But the WWE's version looked worse than those Toughman matches FX used to show.

I think Mero was a legit Golden Gloves champ but I dunno for sure. I was not surprised in the slightest that he got beat (well he got screwed in his match with Bradshaw) because boxers don't stand a chance under those rules if they are in with a good takedown wrestler.

I remember a few of the matches like Godfather, I think he was in it and some of the others. Me and my mate never really understood how Mero, who was labelled as a legit boxer, could go out to Bradshaw. Oh well, I guess Bradshaw has that affect.

Well Mero scored a legit takedown on Bradshaw and the ref never counted it and he would have won in normal time had he got the points.
I think only Bart Gunn and Steve Williams won matches without going the duration. |

What about that match between Flair and somebody else that was supposed to be a legit technical wrestling match. It's really vague in my memory, but for some reason I think that might have been real, but I can't remember how it ended so I could be vastly wrong. If anyone remembers the match I'm talking about refresh my memory.

JR turned heel and slapped Dr. Death in the face. ![]() |

1 - They were fighting for legit prize money and I can't see why they would fix the final when the rest of it was a shoot. Would Bradshaw willing let go 50 grand just to get a fake win? Wasn't the WWF confident Bradshaw could get a result. 2 -Bart Gunn was over. Not major over but he was over and looked like a new star. He was knocking out guys left and right and the people wanted to see him win it all after he knocked out Steve Williams. 3 - If they wanted to punish him, he wouldn't have been at WrestleMania on a big pay day fighting Butterbean. They also paid for extensive boxing training for him. |

I remember that stupid Brawl for All thing. It was stupid and never really made any since. The only good thing about it was seeing Bart Gunn getting nailed in the face by butterbean for the knockout punch. That had to be one of the greatest punches ever done.

Flair had a training session with a couple jobbers that was amateur style back in the late 80's...and he ended up pissing off Piper so they went at it amateur style during the same session...is that what you're thinking about? |

The God/good father was in the 'Brawl for All' too. (along with Droz and Hawk.. that was a good fight- I remember then spitting their mouth guards out, touching gloves, and just whooping eachother)
But the godfather got knocked out so hard that the camera zoomed in on his face after he got knocked down. GF-"What just happened?" Ref-"You got knocked out!" GF-"He knocked me down?!? Aww DAMN!" Hilarious. And Marc Mero (the wrestler turned insurance salesman) had some championship match with Butterbean at a ppv. Mero used the stool he was sitting on, and a dropkick to win. That feud was supposed to be some great midcard match, but considering neither could cut promos, the feud just dropped off of the face of the earth. |

Please God no. WWE should focus on actual storylines and putting on a quality prodyct instead of rehashing silly gimmicks.

The reason why Bart Gunn even knocked out Dr. Death, IIRC, was because Doc blew out a knee on the takedown previous and he more or less stumbled INTO the punch. Definition of FLUKE. A shoot rematch, without gloves, would have left Bart Gunn annihilated.
Seriously, though. The whole thing was inducted into Wrestlecrap, and that's where it should stay... |
