- The dying days of the USWA brought about the appearance of Macho Warrior Ric Hogan, a gluttonous mass of parody which had an extremely brief shelf-life, though he did capture the southern heavyweight title. Here he makes his debut against excellent low-card wrestler Tony Williams. Harvey Wippleman/Downtown Bruno is your referee.
In reality, Ric Hogan was Kentucky-based wrestler Tower Of Doom (shoot name Michael Imburgia), who went on to become the first IWA Mid-South heavyweight champion and tour Puerto Rico and Japan before being arrested for child pornography in 2002 and having his career ended. Now he posts videos on CZcams as @Road Rash and nobody knows about his status as an ex-wrestler/forever pedophile.
USWA TV
Fall 1996
Memphis, Tennessee
Can't wait for the debut of the Heartbreak Hitman Rock Austin.
Nice
How about Big Poppa Deadman Kurt Jericho
DONT GIVE TRIPS IDEAS
Lol Funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can't lie I would laugh my ass off seeing that 😂😂😂😂
The moment you see the name "Macho Warrior Ric Hogan," you're almost certain it's a Memphis gimmick. Classic stuff here.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sad is I think he got into some major legal trouble & not over his gimmick.I remember now.Kiddie porn so F him
Or ECW.
@@joebaumgart1146 Yep.. They use to have some strange stuff too...😂😂
Randy Hogan would destroy him!
The only wrestler who can have a fatal 4 way match with himself.
😂😂😂
Oooooh yeah diggit
Him and Mick Foley could have a mini battle royale
Or a Royal Rumble where he enters in as all 4 wrestlers and eliminates himself 4 times 😂😂😂😂
1:15 "Mr.... I like to call him Mr Manager" lmao he forgot dude's name 😂😂😂
😅😅🤣😂😂
You know Hulk Hogan says he came up with this gimmick back in 1977 while working on the set of Star Wars. Back when he played the original Darth Vader.
And X-pac was right there when it happened!
its the reason he turned down metallica
And most don't know seagull that seagull was there 2*
He's the Turduckin of wrestlers lol
The macho warrior ric hogan is like the Shang tsung in mortal combat where he can morph, having whichever character personality at his disposal. I'd like to see more of this version of wrestling, for sure. It would be lots of fun in a video game too.
Shang Tsung lol
Ooh yeah. This guy is the epitome of professional wrestling.
“Tony Williams giving away…. 4 Thousand pounds or whatever.”😂😂😂
Dave Brown was funny.
I didn’t start watching until “The Next Big Animal” John Orton debuted, but I always love watching the classics!
With a name like that he’s definitely going to be the GOAT.
I can't wait to see how well this comment ages. 🤭
*Ultimate Warrior's lawyers have entered the chat*
*Macho Man Randy Savage's lawyers have entered the chat*
*Ric Flair's lawyers have entered the chat*
*Hulk Hogan's lawyers have entered the chat brother*
Stephen P New should be a busy man
Been watching wrestling for 30 years and I've never seen anything like this
Over 40 years and neither have I, lol
@@skinnybuddha74 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
same here. im 40 years old and have been following wrestling in some way for as long as i can remember. i had read of a "randy hogan' who had been in wcw (before hulk hogan and randy savage were signed by wcw) and thought that would be as far as it gets with gimmicks where some guy has a combination of famous superstars' names
LMAO
Also why am I not surprised that Jerry Lawler is involved with this?
...
Okay, now the Shockmaster doesn't look so bad.
every indie wrassler ever
There's a lot of great ones out there. CM Punk did the indies forever. Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn. Those guys were killing it in front of a few hundred people for years before they got big. They had better matches then than they do now.
The fact that his promo cut was great is amazing.
I think his gimmick after this was "Cactus Wack"
Dude that's actually an awesome gimmick lol
I take it, that you mean awful. At least, I hope you do!
@@ronaldshank7589 yea? and was it worse than DOINK THE CLOWN?!!!! FESTUS? EUGENE?...🤨
@@thunderhead9221 I used to think Doink the clown was Hulk Hogan in disguise !!👍💪🤡Brother !!!
@@randybarnett2308 well I met DOINK and he only appears to be 5'9" and Hogan 6'3" now🤔
@@thunderhead9221 yeah the real Doink was a small guy but McMahon had other wrestlers play Doink some bigger , some about the same size as Doink. Steve Lombardi sometimes would play Doink. I think Hulk Hogan would've been a great Doink !! What do you think, Brother !!!👍💪🤡
The Macho Warrior Ric Hogan. Just had to type that out.
When you stack all of your favorite finishing moves onto your Create-a-Wrestler.
One of the greatest talents to ever touch a rasslin ring
In an ECW Promo back in the day, Cactus Jack said if ECW can't get a particular wrestler they want, they will create a version of him. Well USWA created 4 versions of the top wrestlers for the time, and bundled them up in one mid card wrestler. A desperate and cost saving measure that's good for the entertainment factor and nothing more. Also I love the sell of the leg drop from Tony Williams LOL.
When you want to be all your favorite wrestlers at the same time but it backfires.
This Guy got it all .Hamburger French frys conydog & cotton candy
That's why the vendors ran out of food
Just better hope Hacksaw doesn't come out of retirement. Or Yokozuna and playboy buddy rose come back to life! The whole town will starve!
@@necron99.aka-sammyboy92 Yokozuna passed away years ago
Corey Macklin did a lot for Memphis wrestling. May he rest in peace.
I’d say he looks more like The One Man Typhoon Boss.
Foley is his last name.
well I think it's the same individual that did Typhoon~
@@thunderhead9221no...this guy....is uh, .... Read the script
Big Van Typhoon Quake gang Boss Man.
I'm watching this just a few hours before the 2023 Elimination Chamber. I think I might be more entertained by this than Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn.
I'm glad I clicked this video and saw station wagon driving, coach seat flying, chicken wing stealing, baddest dude in the game brother and whatcha gonna do when the force of macho warrior ric Hogan runs wild on youuuuu OHHH YEAHHH DIG IT!!
He is already in debt with the snack bar.
He would be the best Survivor Series team of all time. Macho Warrior Ric Hogan!
Just to make it clear, the evangelist that appears briefly at the end is NOT Rev. Ernest Angel.
Thanks for posting never even heard of the guy. Great gimmick 👍
Right USWA wasn't something I watched I was all WWF until NWO took over
Right I'm glad I found it too
Yea. Switching through multiple personalities right in a row like that seems fun. If it was one of the other guys standing there It would be hard for me to not be laughing or smiling or something lol
Looks like no1 in the comments bothered to read the video's description.
we can't unsee this dude lol 😂
Amazing speed by Tony Williams ducking under the Hogan clothesline. Amazing
With the power of all macho warriorac's, woooo!!!!
Missed the chance of wearing favepaint, finishing every sentence with brother and then going 'Wooooo!'
He’s better than most on Raws roster now!
I love the complete lack of awareness on which direction the camera is, lol.. even Lawler had to get him to turn the other way
👉 🎥
Say what u want about the gimmick but this guy is solid in the ring and ill die on that hill. Great worker
True! I was actually impressed. But... Did u read the Description? ....yeah
@@necron99.aka-sammyboy92 yikes.. just now read it
This was awesome lol. To see Lawler's kid punch the greatest wrestler ever created was a real treat. Oooh yeahhhhh. Dig it!!
I rather watch this over pro wrestling now.
How the hell is wrestling even a thing anymore?! Kayfabe is 95% gone. All gimmicks, names, styles, finishers.....r all used X 1000 over.
Logan Paul?! Lol. But hey.... He's fn' good though! I give credit were credit is do tho.
Miss that Saturday morning wrestling. Dave Brown Lance Russell and Corey Macklin.
This was awesome, he nailed allow their gimmicks and moves!
Can throw any 4 names out there and I can see Mr. Perfects son Axel something killing it in the best way!
Watching this just reminded me of just how old I am. GEE THANKS ALOT 🤬🤬🤬🤬
He was an amazing wrestler.
the video and the description took me on one heck of a roller coaster
Macho Warrior Ric Hogan…Foley!😂
Bang bang!!
_"Macho Warrior Rick Hogan"_ is joined in commentary by the _"The Mouth of the South, Barry Crawler"_ .
If he would've done Warrior's splash that poor kid's career would've ended.
I haven't seen this much chocking since the Dallas Cowboys Played.
😀😀😀
Chocking?
The Macho Warrior Ric Hogan or 2023 Hall of Fame
Now that Vince is back I can't wait for WWE to snatch this guy up before AEW gets him.
hes in jail so that wont happen
This is gold dude, thanks for uploading!
"Mr Manager," still more of an original name than Macho Warrior Ric Hogan
Forgot his name lol
Too much violence in this sport, Macho Warrior Ric Hogan is brutal
I can't name more than three Wrestlers of today. Sad times
Oh....easy! Crap, shit, Diarrhea and poop.
@@necron99.aka-sammyboy92 , I've seen them wrestle. They need to be plumbers instead of wrestlers.
He needs to be in the WWE hall of fame!
he will never get in the hall off fame
Its. SATIRE. I DOUBT IT WOULD HAPPEN
Haha! It's funny when idiots take a joke seriously, in this case 2 idiots!
If ever a man deserved a Goldberg-esque unbeaten streak, it was Macho Warrior Ric Hogan.
A want Macho Warrior Ric Hogan on my cereal box 🥣 right now, dammit!
Mr Bean doimg the wrestler Intro.
The suit, tie, identical.
Thank you for the important information you posted with the video.
This video alone gets my sub. Classic.

More legible promo for sure.

Bruh ! Lol
That's Jerry's son! TOO COOOL

Dream 5 Way Match - Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior vs Ric Flair vs Randy Savage vs Macho Warrior Ric Hogan
What happened to Creflo A Dollar, jr though? Is that the guy who played Jason in Jason Goes To Hell?
Worse.... hes a prosperity preacher. The hell part is about right though
Wrestling Fan: Mommy! I want to see Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan!
Mother: But, we have all four of those at home, son.
* Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan at home 0:45
I heard of a guy named Crusher Bones, from the Louisville area. He reminded me of Terry Gordy, and wrestled like a million bucks for B.E.E.R. (Big Evansville Extreme Rasslin') back in the 90s. I lived in Columbus, Ohio at the time, and now at nearly 50 I live in Louisville. If this is the same Crusher, salute to you my G
It's the same guy. He was my dad. He passed away about a year ago. I'm getting around to uploading all his old tapes. Thank you for that complement man
@Crusher Bones FOREVER Hi Bub, Im sorry to hear that. I mean that. Im 47 and I met your dad when I was about 22-23, and I think he was about 4 years younger than me, but he was about 6 inches taller. I eventually did some work with Harley Race and Ring Of Honor, and I was on the ring crew at ECW and held a couple of NWA titles. I remember thinking when I met Crush that if he had guidance he could be the next Terry Gordy or Abyss before Abyss. Dont let anybody tell you otherwise, Ive been around and best in this business, and he had the talent. Ive wrestled Eugene and Rosey and a few other WWE stars. Promoters dont waste their tv time and money with pairing you in those slots unless itll be profitable. My favorite opponent was Ronnie Garvin, and I trained under Harley Race in Missouri when I moved from Columbus and got serious. I ALSO wrestled in HWA in Cincinnati for a few years, with everyone from Nigel McGuinness to Matt Stryker to Cody Hawk to Shaun Ricker (LA Knight).
We fell out of touch. There werent really cell phones in those days, and the internet was expensive and only available at the library. I hope you get a little peace from this note. Your dad was a good dude and a good wrestler. Take care, my friend. I'll be subbing to help you and your dad's memory out.
@@MyNameIsUnavailable Thank you so much for your kindness. I love your story.
@@MyNameIsUnavailable Thank you for the story too. I'm Crusher Bones daughter
@@CrusherBonesFOREVER ur dad was awesome. thank u for showing this stuff.
I saw him wrestle Mike Samples at the Charlestown Civic Center in 1997. He lost.
As soon as I heard Jerry the kings commentary voice I had to listen.
Creflo Dollar 💵 at the end is classic
Creflo Dollar...JR! get it right... BROTHER!
4 lawsuits in 1. I love it!
The obesity warrior
A walking billboard for McDonald's.
"OH YEAH WOO, BROTHER!!"
**snort**
Snort. Lol. * Mumbling gibberish* too.
Unfortunately he stood no chance in the ring against Triple NaitchBK
He looks like a WWF No Mercy caw from when I was 11 years old lmao
If this guy ever wrestles Jay Lethal, I think the universe might explode.
"He’s all of them "😂
If I hadn't seen this you wouldn't have been able to tell me about this!
I can't imagine Macho Warrior Ric Hogan, Jason Sensation who impersonates the wrestlers voices, Gillberg and Eugene who mimics the other wrestlers moves as a faction team 😂😂😂😂
You can feel the electricity from the 17 people in the audience.
I love Bruno as the ref. Can you get a smaller ref? Maybe Hornswoggle.
Those poor kids got all hyped up lol.
So proud to say I don’t remember this at al 🤣🤣
More like Cactus Kind Dude Foley. LMAO ~ Also, we're all laughing at the video but I think I'm the only one that read the description. Yikes. I'm sitting here chuckling while reading and then it took a dark turn. 😬
Pretty good impressions.
Nacho warrior more like it 😂
The undercard will have the Diamond Wolverine Dolph Saturn. Should be a good show.
Try again
Where was his Flair Flop? That would have topped off this fabulous debut
Can't wait for Kane the Undertake. Oh wait....
Where did Randy find him? At the local biker bar?
Being cloned with so many legend....that's a HEAVY responsibility to uphold
Big guy was good in the ring
......would special guest referee also have multiple personalities too? Even the managers also, where sometimes they can be unpredictable to enrich the plot.
It's like Will Sasso went rogue.....
Hail Dudesy
I heard about him….I always though he was just a myth!
This guy ate way too much pizza express
Looks like every Indy worker right after Public Enemy got big.
