    I met him in Atlantic City. I was going in the hotel and he was coming out. I called his name. He stopped, walked back to me and shook my hand. Cool dude. Underrated attitude era wrestler. The best Hardcore Champ

      Steve Blackman could legitimately carry that stare, not everyone can back that stare up, I've seen guys with that same stare who got their ass kicked, but Blackman is the real deal

      @@TheGlobuleReturns It's more the ability to notice the calmness in the stare than the actual gaze. It's hard for some to know the difference. There is a difference.
      James Thompson vs. Alexander Emilianenko is a decent enough example.
      If anyone is starting a fight with someone and you sense that calmness while you know you are forcing yours, best to just walk away. If not, it's gonna hurt.

    • @TheGlobuleReturns
      @TheGlobuleReturns 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@MrJadedGreen I mean that’s just each fighters mindset.. doesn’t necessarily mean anything regarding the outcome of the fight. A lot of guys who have that calmness only have it because they’ve never actually been in a real fight. Not saying that’s what this is, but just an example of a situation where calmness means nothing.

    • @MrJadedGreen
      @MrJadedGreen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@TheGlobuleReturns Calmness is the absence of fear, nervousness, anger etc. All of which can get someone hurt.Most people who've never been in a fight are nervous at the least. People fear what they don't know or haven't done. Human nature. The calmness comes from either knowing what one is capable of or just a natural ability to not fear. When the body is in check with emotions and the spirit is when a person is at their peak. You are correct though. The stare means nothing. It's what's behind that stare.

He started off barely a jobber and eventually found himself and became a solid upper mid card guy. He also had some awesome matches with Owen Hart.

    I watched this the week I came down with covid in New York in September 2020. I sat there on my own in my apartment, throwing up, burning up, unable to breathe, numbness in limbs, and just generally feeling like hell. I knew of Blackman's story but listening to this gave me hope and inspiration at a time when I really needed it. All I could do was sleep and I lost about 30lbs of muscle. I knew I'd have a long road ahead of me, but Steve's story has and continues to inspire. Thanks for making this.

      I am in a much better condition now and only recently got over a third bout which was more a blip than anything else. Like yourself, I'll never get the vax.
      My advice is to allow your body time to rest and only slowly work individual body parts back into shape. If you can, get blood tests done and check your hormone levels as C19 has been shown to drastically reduce testosterone. Also check your B vitamin levels. Clean diet, fresh air, and plenty of sunlight when you can get it in Ireland (from Derry originally so I know the difficulty there).
      We'll all get through this.

    Paradoxically, it was Steve Blackman's lack of charisma that made him so likeable. He was a refreshing change from the excess and hyperbole that persisted throughout the Attitude Era. He also genuinely looked like he could drop anyone on the main roster.

      He worked over Sunny backstage blowing her back out leaving her panting like a 50yr old cigar smoker.
      Once recovered she piped him off.
      Al Snow gave Sunny hell for leather, hammer and tongue in a wheelbarrow, again he worked her over like a good un.

    Even tho his promos weren’t great he still had the intense look which helped to keep his credibility. I hope he’s living an awesome life nowadays because he was such an amazing mid-carder, which is absolutely a compliment, I think the reason WWF beat WCW is because of the depth in the roster and he was definitely an upper mid-carder. I loved his Shane McMahon match and the Hardcore title win.

    Another fantastic video and a great tribute to a genuine tough guy. I saw him at the terminal at DIA, he was a very nice individual. I was able to visit with him for about 15 minutes--much of it was about his malaria. I suffered with the West Nile virus years ago so I guess we had something relative to share. Loved his work, glad to hear he's still going strong. I'm gonna check out his bondsman clips now!
