RIP Sabu.
pouring one out for terry brunk with this fucked up ass match
I can’t believe Sandman had the cognitive ability to still do spots considering how unhelpful he was with Sabu lol
Sandman thought Sabu was Godzilla after taking two hits of very strong acid, Sabu said Sandman kept saying “Here lizard” throughout the match and was trying to kill the lizard.. What you’re seeing is Sabu trying to survive a literal murder attempt
I just witnessed a man German Suplex a table on to another guy
Watching this a second time I see that sandman's right arm his hurt from the first suicide dive on the ladder to start the match. Whenever he's stood up, he's holding his arm
I bet he fucked his arm up on the legs of the guard rails.
Sandmans shape here vs him in WWECW is crazy
One of the GOAT watch this eps
This is one of the greatest matches ever
John’s Beavis impersonation took me out lmfaooooo
This looney tunes ass match was so fucking funny and amazing. Thank you Sandman for doing acid before the match.
I can’t even IMAGINE how hard it must’ve been to work with a drunk/high Sandman but god damn it is funny as fuck to watch
Sandman had so much alcohol and lit so many cigarettes that it prepared him to no-sell a fireball to hit a kamikaze Irish whip.
Wrestling will never be like this again and that makes me so sad
Sandman with the double axehandle REVERSE BASELINE DUNK style
WHY IS TOMMY DREAMER SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE DURING A BEATDOWN?
An El Hijo del Vikango-esque performance by The Sandman.
A Legendary match I swear I think about at least once a week. 😅 Did not realize until now that this was a TL match, and this is what preceded TLC as we know it. One of the funniest things about this match is that a wrestling fan on Twitter recently did some investigating and found out that a Phish concert was taking place not too far from the arena that night and determined that Sandman had likely gotten Acid from some Hippie guy hanging outside the Phish show, possibly from the band itself.
The fact there are 2 sandman high on acid matches where he fights Sabu involving ladders is insane (in the other one Sabu is wearing green pants and Sandman thinks he’s Godzilla)
The boys need to watch that one next
Fucked up Sandman is hilarious; this match and the Texas Death match against Cactus are some of my favorite Watch This and it would be great to watch more fucked up Sandman matches
this might have been my favorite deadlock video of ALL time - i legit wet myself
it's like Sandman thought "hey I'm wrestling in Pittsburgh, I should pay tribute to a local sports legend" and the first name that came to mind was Dock Ellis
I would be hands on my face the entire time if I somehow had tried to agent this match and Sandman fucks it up from the very first moment. With that said, this is just an unmitigated disaster, but also a profoundly hilarious/watchable one. Holy hell.
this is the funniest match of all time lmao
Idk how I’ve never seen this one before but it’s immediately in my Mt. Rushmore of all-time matches. Laughed my ass off for 31 minutes straight lmfao
THANK YOU DEADLOCK BOYS
Oh shit Pulse reacted to that ladder throw spot on one of his Miracle On Gimmick Street videos
I’m definitely a enjoyer of LSD, and I can’t imagine working a match while tripping balls on Lucy 😅
Chris Jericho saw this match and said I got a great idea for a new finisher
This is simultaneously the best and worst match of all time
I'm so brain poisoned that I thought Sandman was going for the Orton DDT @ 8:24
Sandman said "Imma do the Rollin' Rock... THE LONG WAY"
But Halftime Heat ;_; Seriously though, keep up the good work!
ITS ROLLIN ROCK... ON THE ROLLIN ROCKER!!
This has the same energy as Sandman vs Cactus Jack. I love it.
Holy shit, now we need trippin Sandman from this match vs concussed Sandman from the Cactus Jack match!
sandman on acid, harold howard and bk westbrook is the craziest gang of white boys i ever see and that’s for trucity.
This was like watching two kids from the 90s, have a backyard match, with their only context for wrestling being Taker vs Mankind Hell in a Cell and Hardyz vs E&C ladder match, but they at least had adult supervision from their drunk uncles who were telling them they weren't trying hard enough to pop the crowd.
Man that shirt is great
For the 25 something minutes that this match went on for, The Sandman on acid was the greatest professional wrestler this business had ever seen.
The fact that Sandman could even remotely wrestle a match this fucked up is honestly insane, dude was probably seeing the 9th dimension and still working a match
God damn he is ZOOTED looking.
the buckshot self grundle destroyer is my move and i will be writing Sandman about this momentarily
The one time I’ve done acid I was watching Monday night raw and was in shock that every match was an inferno match 😂😂 it was sweet as fuck. I cant imagine trying to have a wrestling match lmao
Sandman supposedly thought Sabu was Godzilla lmao
As a connoisseur of awful wrestling matches, this is wetting my Bill Alfonso whistle.
Stevie Richards looking very Chris Pontius-esque here.
I always forget this legendary match happened in pittsburgh, crazy.
November to Remember '97 Sandman vs Victory Road '11 Jeff Hardy, who y'all got Seriously though Sabu has worked with sober people that will somehow fuck up worse than this & he'll still finish any match, props to him
as a guy who has taken acid, having to wrestle a match sounds absolutely terrifying. beer, nicotine, lsd’ed out my mind and i’m the sandman…woah.
My thoughts exactly bro came here to say this lol
Furnas and Lafon should've had a longer ECW run, those dudes were killers
Tables and ladders? WHERE TF AM I SUPPOSED TO SIT????
aside from barely legal, ecw was DOGSHIT on ppv until heatwave 98. there’s a masato tanaka/doug furnas match somewhere that gets fucked up beyond belief. i think the main of that show is like a triangle tag team match with a giant hole in the ring canvas
my favorite bad match ever lol
