WRESTLER OF THE DAY: KILLER KHAN

[RIPPA]

This one is for Dean

 

The great thing about Killer Khan and the "Worked Andre" theme is that there are a ton of things to choose from. WON FEUD OF THE YEAR~!

 

Obviously everyone knows the stretcher match but the WWE seems to have yanked that from the interwebs. Plus there are far better matches between the two.

I love this post match beat down. 

 

[RIPPA]

I did not realize that one of the characters from that weird ass Rumble Roses game from like a decade was named Killer Khan

 

That has made the Youtube search.... dicey...

 

Anyway - Khan vs. Terry Gordy in a Texas Death Match with Special Ref Kerry Von Erich

 

 

AND since it is the Japanese version of the match - the VQ is almost perfect

 

EDIT - Oh I guess I should give the usual warning about the buckets and buckets of blood. But that should have been implied since it is World Class and a fucking Texas Death Match

If this wasn't Khan's last WWF match it should've been, as the finish just kills his gimmick dead.

This made the NJ set but I haven't watched it in years. Since it's Akira Maeda vs. Killer fuckin' Khan we'll just go with it ruling no matter what.

[Curt McGirt]

I've never seen that Khan/Gordy match but goddamn was it awesome. Knowing the backstory, having watched this

 

 

made it all the better. DON'T TOUCH MY VAN
