[1990-02-06-NWA-Clash of the Champions X] Steve Williams entrance

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

A very funny video that was part of Steve Williams' entrance for his match where he's dressed like a medic. Must see.

[PeteF3]

Williams' rescue victim appears to be Joey Maggs. He administers the worst CPR technique of all-time before going to the hospital...or arena. A must for sheer what-the-fuckery.

[soup23]

Another WTF moment on this disc. I doubt that Williams is CPR certified judging by that technique. Really stupid way to portray Williams.

[goodhelmet]

He's fucking Dr. Death. He isn't performing CPR... he's trying to KILL him!!!!

[soup23]

That makes sense I guess. Why did Dr. Death never utilize the heart punch is one of the great what ifs in wrestling history in my mind.

[Kevin Ridge]

So how was the actual match? Goofy type segment for Williams. He even waves to the camera as the ambulance rushes off to the hospital.

[Cox]

Fun video. The name Doctor Death seems appropriate, as if he's the only thing keeping that bemulleted man in the ambulance alive, he surely died shortly thereafter.

[JerryvonKramer]

How many years of study do you think it took Williams to become an official doctor of death?

[Johnny Sorrow]

I saw this for the first time about 6 years ago when I got that every Clash set that was making the rounds on the cheap. I was all, "What the fuck is this, what were they thinking?" but it's fun stoner food. It's weird, WCW's dopey shit that didn't work or get over from the time? I pretty much love it. But I hated WWF's dopey shit then that was successful.

[Laney]

This made absolutely no sense. Was Dr. Death actually supposed to be some kind of hero that goes around and saves lives? The CPR was hilarious with Death pretending like he was pushing on the victim's chest.

[BruiserBrody]

Joey Maggs or Tom Brandi?

[garretta]

This totally goes against Doc's image, and I'm surprised he went along with it. No wonder he spent most of his prime in Japan.

 

On another note, Tama (The Samoan Savage) sure got fat in a hurry, didn't he? He looked like he was about two fifty when he left Vince, but he's well over three hundred here.

[drew wardlaw]

I love Dr. Death's face through the ambulance window. He looks as bewildered as everyone else watching this. Hilariously poor thought and execution here. Awesome.

[GSR]

Some sirens are blaring, when out from the back of an ambulance comes ‘Dr Death’ saying another victim he’s got to rescue! We then see him carrying someone over his shoulder and into the ambulance. He checks for a heartbeat, can’t find one and administers the phoneyist, most ridiculous looking CPR you’re ever likely to see, before yelling ‘yo driver, to the hospital, whack!’.

 

This was hokey as hell and Steve Williams is no actor that’s for sure! The kinda thing you would expect to see in the WWF, not the NWA.

[dawho5]

When the NWA goes cheesy, they go so much farther than they should. It's like they try so hard to out-WWF the WWF that they push into train wreck territory.
