RIPPA Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 HAPPY SHOCKMASTER DAY!!! (Clash 24 took place on this day if you are trying to figure out what I am talking about)
Curt McGirt Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 There is a three part (think about that) match with Otto Wanz on Youtube but I am not evil enough to post that here. EDIT: Maybe it's because I just watched Straight Outta Compton but I thought Rocky was about to bust out a Crip walk there. And man it is weird seeing the Nasty Boys thinner and wearing those black jackets. Or whatever they are.

RIPPA Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 There is a three part (think about that) match with Otto Wanz on Youtube but I am not evil enough to post that here. Well to be fair - a lot of the Wanz stuff got posted in three parts. It was just how the person decided to upload them.
JRGoldman Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 This has nothing to do with Ottman as a wrestler, but that dude is giant in person. I met him at a con once, and he was one of the biggest people I can remember seeing. It was crazy.
Matt D Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Nice things I will say about Ottman: 1.) He has one of the best big man big splashes in the history of wrestling. He really does. It's great. He just sizes the guy up and hits it clean. 2.) He has this really cool standing underhook suplex thing. 3.) He was actually a decent FIP for Earthquake as the natural disasters. Their face run is one of the most underrated tag runs in WWF history. Incredibly fun jobber matches and some good name ones too. I think there's a real argument (not an ironic argument) that Natural Disasters vs Beverly Brothers is the best match on Summerslam 92.
CSC Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 He had a damn fine fat guy splash...and the less said about the bearhug slam, the better.

J.H. Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Any of his stuff as Big Steel Man in Florida available? PWI used to pimp him like craxy James
kafkonia Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Watching that "Top 10" - WCW really shot corner moves better than the WWF did.
Tim Evans Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 My favorite piece of Fred Ottman trivia is his son now works for WWE as he took over for Mark Yeaton as timekeeper.
J.T. Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 That photo warms my heart. Embrace the horrible gimmick, shoestring production values, and the costume that was put together in five minutes. I found a couple of Big Steel Man vids on the YouTubes that weren't cut into a million parts.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pE59qKZoIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYyf9ZqC_Pc I saw the Big Steel Man vs. Otto Wanz vid in three parts.

Ryback Hates Bullies Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Redeeming the apparently irredeemable, and posting Haku and Buddy Rose matches - it doesn't get anymore DVDVR than that right? Not somewhere who belongs anywhere near the main-event, but I like Ottman goddammit. And fuck it, he's alive and appears to be pretty happy with his lot in life. For a super-heavyweight in pro wrestling, that's no small thing. He was asked about Hall of Fame; he said he wants to be the one who puts in Tenta - and he was believable. Hope he gets the chance. For extra DVDVR sleaze credit - Hulk Hogan gets 'turned on', Troy McClure style.
cool arrow Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2i7ir4_3-shinja-typhoon-vs-el-gigante-kitao-war-1995-12-08_sport This match is the drizzling shits, but watching Typhoon doing a shooty spot with Kitao is pretty amusing.
