So...I went to an Indy show headlined by Tatanka tonight.....

[Blehschmidt]

He wrestled in the main event, and after nine chops, four clotheslines, and three body slams, as he stood there sucking wind, he actually started a "You Still Got It" chant for himself.....

 

I just felt the need to share that story, and I thought the folks here might appreciate the absurdity of it.

I think even Randy the Ram would have had more dignity than to start a "You still got it" chant for himself.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Fuck that. If it works than do it.

[El-P]

Awesome. A veteran heel needs to make this his gimmick.

I went to an Indy show around 2011 where Sid's sole contribution to the match was three elbows to get out of a sleeper and kneeling on all 4's to pin his opponent after a manager miscommunication spot. He took no bumps at all either.

 

So compared to that Tatanka does still have it.

Sid would only need to stand and do nothing to still have 'it' though.

Anyone who broke their leg the way Sid did is entitled to half-ass every match the rest of their career.

I saw Tatanka at an indie show around four years ago, right as I was getting back into wrestling. Kongo Kong was on the show (before I knew who he was) and had a killer match (the only passable match on the show) and I ended up walking out on Tatanka in the main event. In like 8 minutes, he had made no physical contact with his opponent. He kept going to the outside and hanging out with plants (yes, they had plants with Tatanka signs) and it was so cringe.

[NintendoLogic]

The most depressing "you still got it" chant I've ever seen was for Steve Williams at a show he worked in Colorado a few months before he died. He was practically a walking skeleton at that point, so chanting something like that when it obviously wasn't true seemed rather cruel even if that wasn't the intention.

[NotJayTabb]

I went to a show featuring Tatanka a few years back, and I'm almost positive Tatanka started a "You've still got it" chant then as well. The bulk of the match was Tatanka hitting chops and no-selling any offence.

 

As I recall, this was the same show where Joseph Conners was tasked with getting something watchable out of papier-mache-ankled Marty Jannetty, then after winning had another match with a non-advertised Chris Masters.

Why the heck would you not advertise Chris Masters? He's one of the few people in wrestling who would guarantee me buying a ticket to see within a reasonable driving distance.

[NotJayTabb]

I know, it was really bizarre, nothing about it made any sense. After Conners beat Jannetty, Masters' music and video came on, and out came comedy wrestler Flex Buffington (gimmick: out of shape guy who thinks he's an Adonis), who Conners destroyed. Then, the video played again and Masters emerged to take on Conners. Bear in mind Conners is the top heel in the promotion, so they had him cleanly beat an aging legend, beat up someone who challenged him post match, then wrestle to a draw with a big name ex-WWE star who hadn't just fought 2 people. Really baffling. The only thing I can assume is that Masters was already in the country for a PCW show, and made himself available too late for them to advertise.

[ButchReedMark]

Was this April 2014? Only Tatanka and Masters were together in Wrexham for a convention, so I'd assume they'd be travelling together.

Just had a Google - looks like it was August 2014
