Before he was the “adorable one,” he was a tough brawler in the WWF! Adrian Adonis takes on “Polish Power” Ivan Putski. This was filmed for PRISM’s “Spectrum Wrestling” in Spring/Summer 1982.
Its still all KAyfabe.. Always was.. Now a wrestler working stiff is another thing.. (Greg Valentine and Brody had reputations for that).. Its not “fake” as in they dont hit each other for real at times but it is “fake” in that its not a real fight as presented…
wrestling wasn’t always as “fake” as people thought. Some guys would intentionally hit/chop as hard as possible, because it sold their product. The guy on the receiving end had to learn to grit his teeth and take the pain for the sake of making it look “real.” Gene Anderson (speaking of gritting teeth) had his teeth knocked out by Wahoo McDaniel when Wahoo landed a tomahawk chop. You can’t “fake” that. It may have been “planned,” but it was hardly “fake.”
Nobody cussed more or louder than the Great Ivan Putski………..Can hear him now saying……..” Gawdamn I Need A Lollipop ” LoL……He was way ahead of his time. He was Stonecold Steve Austin before it was cool………
They knocked the hell out of each other. It wasn’t a “conventional” wrestling match at all. It looked like a Hulk Hogan styled match. Ten minute time limit. Oh certainly a wild evenly matched bout of one nature or another. Mainly slugging.

17Yeah, it was a car crash. I think the driver swerved to avoid a moose (Canada, I think) and crashed over a cliff or into a lake or something.

21Adrian Adonis was never really “gay” but in this persona he was hilarious! If Mcmahon said:”Do it” then it was done period!
