Loss Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Conspiracy theorists will say this match was set up to kill Bart Gunn's momentum since Ross was upset with him for knocking out Dr. Death. Gorilla Monsoon is at ringside and isn't looking well. I think this is his last public appearance. He gets a huge ovation from the Mania crowd.

tim Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Surely there must be ulterior motives here, no way anyone could believe Bart had the slightest chance here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooley Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Steve Austin picked Bart to win. Sigh. Even after Bart KO'd JR's hand-picked winner, the company again asked him to take a dive for Bradshaw in the finals. Knowing now that Bradshaw can be KO'd by Joey Styles, maybe Bart vs Butterbean isn't so bad after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Everytime I watch a Bart Gunn match, I think of my uncle who looks like his doppelganger. Wasn't Gorilla still doing announcing during this time on International Superstars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 So long Gorilla, he really looked like a shell of himself here. Bart gets KTFO as we all know in a gif worthy moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 That was such an amazing KO punch. Picture perfect. It's not just New Japan who buried their wrestlers by throwing them into MMA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Bart's reaction to the very first punch of the match indicates just how much he's in over his head. According to Dave Meltzer, both in the WONs of the time and his appearance on the Lapsed Fan, the WWF really did think Gunn could win this.

cactus Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Poor Bart Gunn. Now I'm not saying that he could of been a top star, but he's a good-looking guy with plenty of experience and they could of done at something with his Brawl For All win instead of having his career killed by being fed to Butterbean. What makes this even more baffling is that the Brawl For All wrapped up over six months ago. At least this was quick and the kill shot was truly devastating. Seeing a frail Gorilla Monsoon getting a huge ovation when he's introduced as a guest judge was a very touching moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
