stro Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 What I believe is the first televised spinebuster from Arn in JCP. Flair called it a ""double inverted powerslam". The Superstar/Sullivan feud in Florida had some weird shit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The Superstar/Sullivan feud in Florida had some weird shit I read a little about this in Graham's book. It sounded so damn bizarre, from the karate gear to the desert vignettes and so on. I still have to watch some footage of that someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Man, Sullivan slapped the PISS out of Woman in that, and Superstar bladed like a champ. That whole thing is classic. There's an attached video where Superstar tears apart the WWWF title and Backlund loses it. That's a really cool angle that would still work today; "If I can't have the belt nobody can" kinda deal. Sounds like something Rollins would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I love Superstar's promo in the desert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IbFDVGELk Love that Graham promo. But I've always found it funny that the promo didn't have a proper end to it, he just kept talking and they just slowly faded him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd get video vignettes of him beign a really swell guy taking girls out on mystery dates, wrestling in a pair of chinos and a sweater vest James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time I saw that, sometime in the late 90s I think, and even then it was harsh as shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 No probs, I remember discovering that Superstar promo when Youtube was first building up steam and being blown away by the angle. I think we take for granted that site these days, it was a total treasure trove of ancient stuff you never thought you'd ever see when it was first launched. Speaking of Orndorff, no one ever mentions him when they talk about legit tough guys in wrestling but on Flair's podcast they mentioned how he's up there with Haku and Finlay before telling the story about him laying Vader out with one punch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
