Psycho September is looking at some of wrestling's most notable crazy-men. Truthfully, this gimmick has a ton of variation so I'm using it as a chance to watch some of my favorites and some guys I haven't seen enough of.

AWA
Mad Dog Vachon vs Jerry Blackwell (05/22/83): We get the last 5 minutes only but they're great five minutes. Mad Dog is drilling Jerry with punches. Very intense stuff with fantastic selling by the big man Blackwell. An easy 5 minutes of old school brawling that you will dig!

ECW
Abdullah The Butcher vs. Kevin Sullivan (10/02/93 Bloodfest - Steel Cage Match): Nice violent stuff! My favorite bit was when Woman comes out to stop Abby from choking Sullivan. Then the Madman from Sudan goes after the vivacious valet; her eyes rolling back in her head and Kevin Sullivan whacks the Butcher with a chair!! Damn you can hear it smack his broad back like a Ric Flair chop! Inside the ring is the good but standard "use the cage as a weapon" fighting. Taz comes out and throws a metal briefcase in there to help Sullivan. Then it gets really good again 😁 Fun, fun stuff. Yeah more '93 ECW is on the menu boys!

Houston
Johnny Valentine vs Wild Bull Curry (06/20/69):This really is an awesome match and the first time I've seen a full Johnny Valentine bout. He and Bull Curry beat each other senseless here...and I loved it! It was really great, simple yet violent pro wrestling. The quality of the footage is excellent as well. So very glad I watched this! Recommended!

ROH
Delirious & Cheeseburger vs Young Bucks (Conquest Tour 2016: San Antonio – 04/23/16): Ahahahaha! 😆 This was a fucking blast! Absolutely bonkers comedy wrestling match for days fans. Height of Super Kick Party. Cheeseburger & Delirious were a great team (in a fun indie way) and definitely gave the Bucks a run for their money. I was buying these DVDs when they were a couple years old and have yet to watch them. Long time readers might remember early days of 2015 ROH reviews. Anyhow, lots of fun!

WCW
Psicosis vs Kidman (09/23/97): Fun TV match...A wager match but I'm not sure it had the urgency like you'd see in Mexico. Still good moves...Juvi & Chavo Jr. interfere on Psicosis' behalf so that does give it a bit of drama. But let's be honest, we know the outcome 🙂

WWF
Sid vs Bret Hart (In Your House: It's Time! 12/15/96): Very good match. Bret surgically attacks Sid's spine. The Sycho won't stop! We get Stone Cold and HBK shenanigans but it doesn't hurt the match. 

Sid vs Mankind (RAW 03/03/97): An excellent TV match for the World title! Plenty of action, great showing from both guys. I actually think Mankind should have used the sleeper hold as his finisher based on how it was worked here. Anyhow, fans of either guy will find something to enjoy here!
