Tape of Week Oct 30-Oct5

Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

The first 1 1/2 hour of this great tape is from the WWF 'Best of Ricky Steamboat 
tape. On it he faces Don Murraco, Mr Fuji, Randy Savage, Dynamite Kid
and does some interviews.

Rick Steamboat and Jay Youngblood vs Jack and Jerry Brisco (twice)
This was one of the biggest fueds of 1983 in Mid Atlantic. The 
Briscos had turned on Steamboat and Youngblood early in the year. 
These are some classic wrestling encounters.

The next two matches have Steamboat and Jay (One has Mark Youngblood
in six man)facing off with some prelim guys. Watch the crowd response 
in the first one for a headlock spot. Man was things simple back then.

The next match was from 1984 as Ricky Steamboat, Dusty Rhodes and 
Dick Slater fight Black Bart, Ron Bass and Tully Blanchard in a bloody
Six man Bunkhouse Stampede match. The match ended without finishinh
on the orginal tape I had. Still good footage though.

Even though the next has bad VQ it is still a classic angle that 
led to the best series of matches maybe in the sport. Eddie Gilbert 
brought Steambaot in as a mystery partner to face Ric Flair and Barry
Windham. 

From Starcade 1983 we have one of the last Brisco encounters as Jay
and Rick face them again.

Starcade 84 Steamboat faced off with Tully Blanchard in a good match. 
Tully bleeds in this one.

Two of the above mentioned series of matches with Flair and Steamboat
are next. One is from Chicago and the other is from Wrestlewar 89. 
The second one also has the Terry Funk / Flair footage in.

At Bash 89 Lex Luger and Steamboat squared off and Steamboat carried
Lex to a good match.

From the WWF we have Ricky facing off with Bob Orton in a heck of a 
match. Many forget how good Orton was.

For a few months Steamboat and Shane Douglas (actually not Douglas)
wore mask as the Dos Hombres. This was the final show down with the 
Hollywood Blondes in a cage. Great tag team match.

The next three matches are from TV during 1993. He faces Paul Orndorf, 
Fury, and Steven Regal. During the Orndorf match a friend of mine
has his name mentioned as the "fan who choose the match" 

A rematch with Regal at Starcade 93 for the TV title is next.

The final match is from Wrestlemania 3 as Steamboat faces Randy Savage 
in a great match.
