I am currently watching a match between Hawk and Ming.

Ming was the enforcer of wrestling. Legend has it that he was banned from Japanese wrestling.

If the boys got into a fight and they wanted the fight to be settled they would ask Ming to help out with the settlement.

Ming was the enforcer of wrestling.

Nobody wanted to mess with him he was a dangerous man in and out of the ring.

But again he had a lot of respect from the wrestlers.

There were a few stories that I heard about Ming. And all of them told me one thing...You don't mess with Ming.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated: 1995 THE YEAR IN WRESTLING. March 1996

MATCH OF THE YEAR: DIESEL VS. SHAWN MICHAELS 16,710 votes

For four months, fans waited for this one–and a worthwhile wait it was.

Until Survivor Series 1994, Diesel and Shawn Michaels were he best of friends. Going into that pay-per-view, they  were also the WWF World tag team champions. But a disagreement in an eight-man tag team match made them the bitterest of enemies. Shawn remained a rulebreaker, while Diesel went the fan favorite route. And three days later, “Big Daddy Cool” became the WWF World champion.

Everyone wondered when these two former friends would finally meet, one-on-one, with the World title at stake.

Everyone found out when it would be on January 22, when Michaels won the Royal Rumble and earned a World title shot against Diesel at WrestleMania XI.

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania was good, but Shawn vs. Diesel was better. It lived up to all the prematch hype, and for the third consecutive year, Michaels was involved in our Match of the Year. 

Diesel pounded his old buddy early on in the bout. “The Heartbreak Kid,” as everyone expected, showed tremendous resiliency. He clotheslined the World champion over the top rope, executed an over-the-top-rope flying bodypress, then spent a few minutes trying to wear Diesel down. He used a flying elbowsmash from the top rope and a sleeperhold. 

Then came the turning point. While Michaels and Diesel were brawling outside the ring, referee Earl Hebner, in an attempt to keep Sid Vicious, Michael’ Bodyguard, from getting involved, twisted an ankle. That prevented him from getting back into the ring quickly. It may have also prevented Michaels from becoming the World champ, because Shawn superkicked Diesel and had him pinned for at least 10 seconds before Hebner crawled back to make a count.

Diesel recovered, caught Michaels with two boots to the face, and “jackknifed” him for the win at 20:40.

“Incredible!” wrote Ken Wallace of Topeka, Kansas. “I didn't think Diesel could stay with Shawn for a match that lasted 15 minutes or more. And even in defeat, Michaels was terrific.” Everyone knows what happened the next night. These two rivals became friends again. We may never see a Shawn-Diesel rematch, but even if we don’t we’ll always have memories of this thrilling bout. 

RUNNERS-UP

JEFF JARRETT vs. SHAWN MICAHELS: 15,831 votes

First runner-up:  “The Heartbreak Kid” strikes again! A 20-minute thriller between two terrific athletes is the simplest way to describe the July 23 In Your House II match in which Michaels won his third Intercontinental title. A powerful superkick to the jaw was all it took for Michaels to finish off “Double-J” after The Roadie accidentally tripped his employer.

HARLEM HEAT vs. THE NASTY BOYS: 13,798 votes

Second runner-up: The Nastys won the WCW World tag belts from Booker T and Stevie Ray in this Slamboree slugfest. The result was noteworthy because Jerry Sags fought half the match on his own after Brian Knobs was injured before the bout. It was the Heat’s legdrops vs. the Nastys’ piledrivers, and it ended when Sags pinned Booker after a top-rope elbowsmash.

PSICOSIS vs. REY MISTERIO JR.: 6,620 votes

Third runner-up: These two masked superstars, rivals in Mexico's AAA, brought their feud to ECW on September 16 and contested a bout that featured stunning aerial moves. Misterio at 5’3” and 140 pounds, beat his 5’10”, 200-pound rival in a match that was highlighted by Misterio diving from the ring apron onto Psicosis , who was lying in the third row of the audience!

VOTES FOR OTHERS (15,187)

Some of the top vote-getters who did not capture a runner-up spot include: January 22: Diesel vs. Bret Hart; April 2: Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor; June 18: Brian Pillman vs. Alex Wright; August 4: Tony Anthony & Tracey Smothers vs. The Heavenly Bodies; August 26: Eddy Gurrero vs. Dean Malenko; August 27: Shawn Micahels vs Razor Ramon.

Story of Raven vs DDP | Slamboree 1998

Haven't seen much WCW footage; this video of a feud from that promotion is what I am watching at the moment.

[daytona-winchester]

One of the best referees there was, was Nick Patrick.

He's now retired but he was a refree that took his job seriously and nobody messed with Nick Patrick's ruling in the ring.

Nick Patrick was the refree the boys respected. That was until he turned heel and went to the side of the NWO.

Well how can a refree go heel when he's not even a Wrestler.

When Nick Patrick was the refree for the NWO he would look the other way. Do a three count too fast or too slow. If there was a way for the NWO Nick Patrick would find it.

Good or bad Nick Patrick was one of the best referees that you could have in the ring.

I don't know why this match seems so bananas to me...

But Bret vs Macho with Roddy as the guest ref.

Also, must mention, Roddy was fucking RIPPED at the time. Pair that with a kilt and I'm utter trash for it.

And wtf, Michael Buffer introducing Bret, "Coming to the ring first dressed in black and purple..." Fucking purple? Is Buffer colorblind? Bitch, that's pink. It's ALWAYS PINK.

Lady Madness: Gorgeous George

Gorgeous George is known for her time in World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling , Total Nonstop Action Wrestling , and other wrestling promotions on the Independent Wrestling Circuit.

Gorgeous George ( Stephanie Bellars ) met Randy Savage when she was working as an exotic dancer at Thee Dollhouse Nightclub in Tampa, Florida. During the match between Eric Bischoff and Ric Flair on the December 28, 1998 episode of ‘ WCW Monday Nitro ’ when Randy Savage made a surprise appearance during the match. She was unknown when this happened. Bischoff vs Flair was also the main event for this episode of ‘ Nitro ’. This would also mark her first appearance on WCW programming.

At the ‘ Spring Stampede ’ Pay-Per-View in 1999, Stephanie Bellars would actually make her debut under her signature ring name , Gorgeous George. She would be accompanying Randy Savage to the ring as his manager/valet. Her in-ring debut came the same year at the ‘ Slamboree ’ Pay-Per-View in a match against WCW referee , Charles Robinson in order to save Savage’s job with the company . She was successful by defeating Robinson. She would also be a member of Team Madness alongside Randy Savage , Madusa , and Miss Madness ( WWE Hall of Famer Molly Holly ) . This would also mark Savage’s fourth run with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, which he won at ‘ Bash At The Beach ’. Her final WCW appearance would come in October of 1999.

She would go on to appear in ECW in 2000 and in NWA-TNA in 2003-2004. She would also make a few appearances on the Independent Wrestling Circuit before retiring in 2014.

My Final Thoughts:

I wrote about Sapphire, Dusty Rhodes’ manager , yesterday. If you haven’t read that mini article , check it out ! Like Sapphire, I feel like Gorgeous George isn’t really talked about a lot. She was a huge part of Macho Man Randy Savage’s later career in my opinion. From being his solo valet to Team Madness. I hope this article can help you all get to know her and her career.

As Always I Love You All,
