Its time once again for another look into Stampedes classic past and what better a match to view than one of my favorite rivalries in the entire promotions history. A young Owen Hart vs the ” classless scum” known as Makhan Singh. Some of you will recognize Owens opponent as “Norman The Lunitic” from WCW or the even more ridiculous and career crippling character of “Bastian Booger” in the WWF. Its unfortunate that these are the two most recognized characters for Mike Shaw, because it was his mic skills and humorous heel personality that made him so great to watch back in Stampede Wrestling. Unlike many Stampede wrestling alumni, moving to the big wrestling promotions actually hurt Makhan Singhs career instead of skyrocketing it, mostly due to his terrible characters that they made him portray. Worth noting in this video is that its a “no disqualification” title match for the Stampede North American Heavyweight title. Also worth noting is the “arm cast” that is used as a weapon by Makhan Singh and the bandages on Owen, also used as a weapon. And, of course no video would be complete without classic Ed Whalen commentary such as ” This is idiotic”! and ” Whammo”! It is very sad that both these former Stampede Wrestlers are now deceased, but lets watch the match and enjoy the entertainment both men gave us back in the day.
