that's something that I seen made famous
1:59
growing up like oie and Jee Anderson is
2:02
the method of their Madness was you got
2:04
four legs on the table the same way as a
2:07
human being they got two legs two arms
2:09
they get on all fours you take one of
2:11
those legs off from under he can't stand
2:13
there you go you hung on to that arm bar
2:15
as he tried to drag you across the ring
2:17
just a few moments
2:18
ago oh he hit you with a fist and you're
2:22
returning the favor that's right
2:24
returning the favor and we introduc him
2:25
to another turn
2:27
bu oh he came out of that one with it
2:30
that's that's why he was famous in the
2:31
ECW it licks like that exactly Tommy
2:34
stel is one of the hardest hitting
2:35
people I've ever been enduring with uh
2:37
he's retired in these days
2:40
but so he's now retired he's now retired
2:43
but he left his Mark that's for
2:46
sure he was in the ring with the great
2:48
one me Mark and uh that says a lot for
2:50
him in his career right there he was
2:52
able to tell somebody he was there
2:53
exactly he to tell somebody he's been
2:55
there my goodness look at that mat truck
2:57
just got up there that that that big boy
2:59
probably a good wrestler too uh-oh he
3:01
was going up on the top rope there and
3:03
you pull the Rope out from under him and
3:05
you know uh he landed on some things
3:06
that really hurt exactly it's one thing
3:08
you got to understand no matter I don't
3:10
care where you've been whether it be the
3:11
ECW WF for that matter you get ring to
3:13
someone who's got almost a decade worth
3:15
of experience on you you best not make a
3:18
mistake which is what you just made
3:20
right there uh of course in in in the
3:22
heat of the battle once in a while
3:24
you're thinking ahead like a chess game
3:25
and so is he and every now and then you
3:27
one of the moves just sort of gets out
3:28
of whack I believe some of the moves get
3:30
out of whack but one thing you got to
3:32
understand about the uh the veterans
3:34
sometimes what you think is a mistake is
3:35
also a careful it's a calculated risk so
3:39
that calculated risk there was a pretty
3:41
good blow to his foot by your face is
3:43
that what you're saying it
3:47
happen wrestling fans you're watching
3:49
the best of Mark Ash only available at
3:52
starpro wrestling.com and me marash
3:54
website which is Mark as.com
4:00
as you can see Tommy still thinks he's
4:01
in control of this match and like I said
4:03
you're going to see two matches with me
4:04
and him and some of the matches on this
4:06
tape you see I do lose some of the
4:08
matches on the tape I'm not uh trying to
4:10
put myself over here we're showing you
4:12
good matches we're showing you
4:13
highlights of the past 14 years in icw
4:18
action he's taking the tape off his
4:20
wrist there so evidently he must be
4:22
trying to limber up loosen up a little
4:23
bit and of course you you don't train in
4:26
the gym for that when they walk up to
4:28
you those weights don't don't hit back
4:30
exactly the weights don't hit back and
4:32
that's the problem you know you throw a
4:33
weight down it's down and out throw me
4:35
marass down you know you better not turn
4:37
you
4:39
back is he showing you shoe size right
4:42
there I do believe in the in the corner
4:44
he's got you in the corner and you're a
4:45
little bit winded oh he gave you one of
4:48
his chops there how'd that feel Mr Mark
4:50
well the hard chops never feel good I
4:52
don't care who it comes from but you got
4:53
to understand I've taken it for people
4:55
like Wahoo McDaniels and Ian coloff Tomy
4:57
Steels really didn't pH me all that much
5:00
yeah the crowd's on your side there oh
5:03
nice cloth Line running clothesline
5:05
there but he's able to pop right back up
5:07
that's that's why it was such a great
5:08
one in the
5:10
ECW that's why he's in the ring with a
5:12
great one now because he is a good
5:14
wrestler that's right you got in the
5:15
ring with me and Mark Ash think is going
5:17
to have an easy night but you get the
5:19
ring with me and marash you never have
5:21
an easy night you know those referees
5:23
seem to get in your way a lot when you
5:24
try High a move oh no oh I recognize
5:29
that that happened to some one of your
5:31
opponents one time Mark you remember
5:33
that oh that's happened to me several
5:35
times to be honest with you too I I
5:37
remember when you jumped off the Rope
5:39
just then that reminded me of your very
5:41
first match against rattlesnake Brooks
5:43
which you will see later and I okay if
5:47
it's on this this this video we we won't
5:49
say anything about it because we don't
5:51
want to give away what's going on in
5:52
that match but that that move looked
5:54
very familiar from one of your opponents
5:57
that big guy ought to be a wrestler if
5:58
he's not I C he blocked up half the
6:00
screen I don't know if he should be a
6:01
wrestler or not but he uh he he could
6:04
lay down On You' be kind of tough to get
6:06
him off well we could take a bit of
6:07
Beach and sell shade during the summer I
6:09
do
6:09
believe big
6:12
boy oh great thing suplex off the top
6:16
rope that's got to hurt that adds an
6:18
extra six foot to that thing add an
6:20
extra six foot and the way you're coming
6:23
down you get the momentum of your
6:24
opponent's weight with you actually I I
6:26
I would say as F than that that adds an
6:28
extra 10 but because you got the length
6:30
of him plus he's cred up on the top rope
6:32
to do it oh definitely but he turned his
6:34
back on me marash that's where you mess
6:36
up every
6:38
[Applause]
6:43
time keep up with Mark Ash all you have
6:46
to do is go to starpro wrestling.com
6:48
mar.com and you find out all about it oh
6:52
oh looked like you had him there on that
6:55
one mark but he got out of it definitely
6:57
Tommy Steel's a great competitor and lik
6:59
it right at this year we see another
7:00
match with Tommy steel also me him had a
7:03
brief view during the year 2000 that uh
7:07
Rock a couple houses I tell it looked
7:09
like he had a good crowd there in
7:11
Burlington that night I I remember I was
7:13
at that match and I had to park uh down
7:15
the block to get there Burlington's
7:17
always Dre good for us and matches like
7:19
this one here you can understand why
7:22
this is a good camera angle for the ring
7:24
but the the the the building is a lot
7:26
bigger than what it looks on this TV and
7:28
to the left it was all the way back to
7:29
the opening of the building there was a
7:31
lot of people in that that crowd that
7:32
night that was pulling for you uh to
7:35
beat that uh Tommy steel and Tommy steel
7:39
knew he was in for it when he walked out
7:40
and heard
7:46
that see Tommy still is losing track
7:48
here long as the match goes on he's
7:50
getting lost he's having to stop and
7:51
think about what he wants to do he's not
7:54
he wasn't used to that during that
7:55
particular point in time Tommy Steel's
7:58
uh from what I've seen of his here never
7:59
worked any long in matches because he's
8:01
normally been able to put people away
8:03
quick but he wasn't in the ring with the
8:06
great one before that's right you got to
8:08
realize that year 2000 I've already had
8:10
11 years of experience great day in the
8:12
morning he gave you that that blow that
8:13
was illegal and he's trying to use that
8:15
looks like a mark Ash trick kind of
8:17
clear it does the thing is Tommy steel
8:21
you got to learn he doesn't know he got
8:22
to
8:23
win but he doesn't he just doesn't know
8:26
when enough's enough you know he got the
8:28
low blow put his feet on the road
8:31
Ste yeah well Tommy steel got got the
8:34
got the tap that night and he he he he
8:36
thinks he's got to hurt there he thinks
8:38
he's got you down he thinks he's got you
8:40
defeated
8:42
and I was there folks what you're about
8:44
to see is uh Mark takes a licking but he
8:48
keeps on ticking what happens he didn't
8:51
hang around with Bad Company during our
8:52
Glory years because we have took the win
8:54
and left
8:58
[Applause]
9:01
[Music]
9:02
most wrestlers would have quit after
9:03
this match but you still in the
9:06
business and I just won the match he
9:09
disqualified him for all of that
9:12
huh ladies and gentlemen referee young
9:15
you know lot lot of people might say
9:17
well Mark you got the Daylights beat out
9:19
of you but they forget his professional
9:21
wrestling and the winner gets the
9:22
biggest pocketbook exactly Z mares is a
9:26
dirty player always been a dirty player
9:27
always will be a dirty player but
9:29
difference between me and Tommy steel is
9:31
he cheated he got to win by cheating but
9:33
he didn't know when to leave well enough
9:38
alone
9:39
Guster have you not seen what I've done

16:14
winning in at 250 lb he is the indi's
16:18
best hiden secret Malcolm
16:23
dark ladies and gentlemen here we are at
16:25
ringside wel to North Carolina and
16:28
Malcolm darks the one who has challenged
16:31
the Mean Mark Ash has showed up at the
16:33
wrestling Arena right here at the
16:35
upwa and he has said that he is going to
16:38
beat the best so that he can be
16:40
considered the best and of course we
16:43
don't know if mean Mar cash that ever
16:45
committed to this match we don't even
16:47
know if mean Mar cash is even in the
16:49
building but here we are the ring
16:51
announcer has announced the match and
16:54
coming up now you'll see him in just a
16:56
moment is Malcolm DS Dart he challenged
17:01
me mar cash some while back and we
17:04
understand that he says that he can beat
17:07
mean marash any place at any time and of
17:11
course now we see Malcolm darks coming
17:14
out and it looks like to an empty ring
17:18
there's the referee in the ring and of
17:20
course the ring announcers in the ring
17:22
the crowds around the ring and uh well
17:25
folks anything can take place and as we
17:28
look at is we see Malcolm who feels
17:31
pretty confident I don't know if he
17:33
feels confident he's going to beat Mar
17:34
cash or this is going to be a forfeiture
17:37
because nobody knows absolutely nobody
17:40
knows where mean Mark Ash is we haven't
17:43
seen him today tonight haven't heard
17:46
anything from him his press agent will
17:48
not return our phone call so this might
17:51
be something that we've never seen
17:53
before mean Mark Ash back down from a
17:56
challenge and of course he is the best
17:59
and this guy says in order to be the
18:01
best you got to beat the best and we
18:03
haven't seen me Mark in quite a while
18:05
and we don't know if he's coming here
18:07
tonight but the upwa has sanctioned this
18:10
match Malcolm darts has showed up and of
18:13
course the ring announcers here and the
18:15
referee is here so let's see if we can't
18:17
figure out what's going on here at
18:19
ringside he's not here okay the bell and
18:24
introducing to the ring okay we don't
18:27
understand what's going on here the
18:28
crowd's getting a little bit agitated
18:29
and they're insulting Malcolm darks and
18:33
uh probably for a lot more reasons just
18:35
him being here being cocky like he has
18:37
been about beating mean Mark Ash Al
18:40
though he's never done that the Ring
18:43
Side folks here are giving him a tough
18:45
time he's talking back to him and the
18:47
referee wants to know what's going on
18:49
because he came to a referee a match and
18:52
only one person showed up to wrestle and
18:54
that of course being Malcolm darks
18:58
announcer has gone to see what's going
19:00
on okay the the referee is counting oh
19:03
oh okay here we go it's something's up
19:05
because that's me Mark Ash's music
19:08
wrestling is my name and wrestling is my
19:11
game is the name of the tune okay folks
19:14
uh-oh look look back at the back of the
19:17
building not even in the dressing room
19:19
