MWM Bad idea month part 3


The Brawl for all, which Jim Cornette calls, "the stupidest thing that the WWF (WWE) has ever done". It was a Tough man style 16 man tournament. Each match consisted of 3 one minute rounds, 5 pts were awarded for every landed punch & clean takedown while it was 10pts for every knockdown, there were ringside judges. These were real fights. The ways to win were by points, judges' decision, TKO & KO. It had a 8 count instead of the normal 10 count. It left several fighter with injuries &/or destroyed careers, more after the cut.



Roll Call
  1. Steve Blackman
  2. Marc Meno
  3. Mark Canterbury (Henry Godwin)
  4. Bradshaw (JBL) runnerup
  5. Brakkus
  6. Savio Vega
  7. Darren "Droz" Drozdov
  8. Road Warrior Hawk
  9. Bart Gunn, the winner
  10. Bob Holly
  11. Quebecer Pierre
  12. "Dr Death" Steve Williams
  13. The Godfather
  14. Dan Severn
  15. 8-ball (Ron Harris)
  16. Scorpio
 Savio Vega suffered an arm injury that ended his career. Both Steve Blackman & Hawk were also injured. Dan Severn left after one fight. Steve Williams who was the favorite & inline for a WWF title shot vs Steve Austin was injuried, & knocked out. This hurt both his tough guy image & his friendship with Jim Ross. The winner Bart Gunn was not seen much to TV except for a short feud with Bob Holly, & THIS.




THEY FEED HIM TO BUTTERBEAN, this ended Bart's WWF run. All of this for a event that fans hated & had chants of boring & We want Wrestling.
