Tatanka

Recommended Posts

As Native American Tatanka, Chris Chavis went on a winning streak that lasted around two years IIRC. The WWF obviously had plans for the guy, and he was a very over worker for quite a bit of time (at least before the heel turn). But what were Tatanka's best matches in the Federation?

All the stuff I've seen was worthless, Shawn carried him to an average affair with a shite finish at WM9, that's the only thing that comes to mind. It's weird though, he was over for a fairly long time considering he never really distinguished himself. I guess in the ring his schtick was no different to Hogan's in many ways, but it's not as if he had much charisma.

Yeah, those two matches and Tatanka v. Ric Flair (which is on a CV tape)..

 

as a heel, Royal Rumble 1995 Bigelow/Tantanka v. Sparky/Kid was VERY good.

 

those.. are the only matches that come to mind..

 

 

ALSO WHAT DOES IIRC MEAN?

The best part of this match is when they totally botch a roll-up and Savage says (with no apparent sarcasm): "What a manuever!!"

The match with Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka vs. 1-2-3 Kid and Bob Holly was probably his best match. But it was more of a case of the other three making up for his sucking.

When Sparky Plugg makes you look better; you might as well hang up the boots right then and there.

Non-Title, and it was pretty bad, one of Harts worst TV matches from 1996.

Tatanka/Smoking Guns vs. Bigalow/Headshrinker is about the best you're going to see out of him.

That's a good fuckin match thanks to Bam Bam and the Headshrinkers...mostly the Beast though..

Whatever happened to Tatanka? Why did he fall off the face of the earth???

The heel turn was D.O.A., and didn't improve at all when the Million Dollar Corporation was made to look like a complete and utter joke.

 

Tatanka's fucking loaded, as he has business ventures in Florida. Anyone who was a fan in 1995 and used to get WWF Magazine should know that Tatanka has a home that's probably worth $2 million in Florida thanks to it.
