RIPPA Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ivan Putski was born today. That worked better for me than Joy Giovanni or Firebreaker Chip. Plus it gives me a chance to post a Stan Hansen match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I love this just for the cheesy POLISH POWER chyron. And boy howdy was Ivan working on his polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Starts at 23:45 or so. For some reason I love this Piper's Pit. Also, this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Frankly, I think your best bet with Putski is tag work: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bfbn7_tito-santana-ivan-putski-vs-wwf-tag-team-champions-johnny-jerry-valiant-10-22-1979_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Joy Giovanni may be easier on the eyes than Ivan Putstki, but she did not wrestle a classic against Superstar Billy Graham. She also did not beat the white boy fro off of Bob Bradley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonial Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Big memory of Putski was him showing on WWF TV in 1987, teaming with Superstar Graham in a tag match that lasted all of 20-30 seconds (jobbers tried to attack from behind, Putski and Graham put them in bearhugs, end of match). My dad, who walked into the room when the match started, began popping like crazy for Putski. He was a big Putski fan in the 70s, and the first wrestling show I ever attended was an indy at a local high school in 1986 that featured Putski in the main event (he was pretty quiet for most of that show, but he started cheering and smiling when Ivan hit the ring).

cool arrow Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Being only familiar with bodybuilder Putski, I was shocked to see him in his enormous faux-Mighty Igor days. And then there's this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
