Ойын-сауық

"Dangerous" Dan Spivey breaks down the infamous fight vs Adrian Adonis that landed him in the hospital with 200 stitches! Full shoot ➤ TitleMatchNetwork.com
You may have seen the story of Adrian In Dark Side of the Ring Season 4 on Vice TV.
Licensed & distributed by Title Match Media LLC. Enjoy the full Dan Spivey shoot interview on our streaming subscription service, TitleMatchNetwork.com.
Dan Spivey is a legendary wrestler who competed in WWF/WWF, WCW, UWF, All Japan & around the world. Spivey was known to be one of the baddest dudes in all of wrestling outside the ring.
Many new school fans may recognize Spivey from his Waylon Mercy character, an inspiration for what would later become Bray Wyatt in WWE.
Back in the mid-late 80s, Adrian Adonis was one of Vince McMahon's biggest heels in the WWF. You may remember Adonis being Rowdy Roddy Piper's pick to have for his retirement match at Wrestlemania 3.
McMahon was setting up Adrian for a run against ultra-popular babyface champion Hulk Hogan.
Before the series of matches would take place, Adonis was booked on a few shows vs Dan Spivey. Most of the WWF locker room is scared on Adrian who has a reputation of being a tough guy. Hear from Dan Spivey what went wrong in their match that led to the infamous fight!
How did Adrian Adonis end up with 200 stitches in his face? How did Vince McMahon react why Dan Spivey talked to him on the phone?
This incident is what cancelled the planned headline matches vs Hulk Hogan.

    I had a personal incident with Spivey back in Nassau (Bahamas) when I was about 20 in 1989. We were at a bar named Waterloo and I was standing behind Spivey and Johnny Ace aka John Laurinitis, the former WWE executive and brother of Road Warrior Animal and uncle of the NFL's Jim Laurinitis. I was 5 foot 6 and about 145 pounds at the time. Anyway Laurinitis pinches Spivey's ass from behind and Spivey turned around to see yours truly standing there. We were on a wooden patio about 8 feet off the grass and the look Spivey gave me was not good. This man was a foot taller than me and about 150 pounds heavier and a trained wrestler. I was thinking I cannot escape in this crowd. Laurinitis must have realized something bad was going to happen and his conscience kicked in and he confessed before Spivey grabbed me. I was not a happy camper and am still pissed 32 years later at "Johnny Ace", douchebag.

    Brunzell even said that he saw someone walk into the locker room a day or two after the fight and at first he thought that it was a Japanese wrestler that Vince had just signed. Turns out, it was Adrian. Apparently, Adrian’s face was so swollen that he looked Asian.

    WWF did the Monday tapings for "Maple Leaf Wrestling" at Brantford, Ont. in the Civic Centre. I wish somehow WWE would put those old shows up so I can see myself as a kid. One of the best moments of my life was after a show there. Bobby Heenan was in the passenger side of a car, window down with a smoke going. They were leaving, and on to the next town.My 11 year old smart ass had to look him in the eye and say "Smokings' not good for you!" He just looked away and rolled his eyes. I have a strange sense of pride from saying I left the brain speechless!!

    Because it wasn't about size. A rookie beating up a veteran didn't get him respect, it got him an ass kicking from the locker room and harassment until he quit - that is, if the boss didn't just outright fire him. He was lucky that apparently Adrian had pissed off so many people that they were willing to look the other way.

    Danny Spivey, Vince's solution to the US Express after Barry Windham left to the NWA. Spivey also teamed up with Mark Callous and later with Sid Vicious as The Skyscrapers. He later returned to the WWF as Waylon Mercy, a character that was based on Max Cady from the movie Caper Fear . That character was later on recycled by Bray Wyatt.

    @@kenterminateddq5311 That is the word from other wrestlers shoots, including Tom Billington ( Dynamite Kid, R.I.P. ) & former NWA performers. I watch/ read too much of these to bookmark stuff, but you should be able to find a Skyscrapers vs Road Warriors match on here. Mark was green at the time & Dan didn't like the way the RW's were taking liberties with Marc during the match. Dan's chair shots on them were allegedly legit hits. From another wrestler's account, Dan confronted them post match in the locker room & the RW's backed down. What's questionable about Dan's account here though is that he claimed busted Adrian up in ring. Other shoots on here from B.Brian Blair & Wayne ( HTM ) among others, claimed that Dan confronted Adrian in the locker room about how stiff he was. Adrian charged him a couple times until Dan left hooked him so hard on the side of his face that Adrian's cheek bone was sticking out.

After this he gets to his feet and kicks him down (while the guy's still balancing on his head). Pretty sure it was Spivey and around 1986. If anyone else can remember this let me know. My first experience at questioning wrestling's realness. Funny stuff.
