The Mountie Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 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?
PLAGIARISM! Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 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.
Kardo Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Tatanka/Smoking Guns vs. Bigalow/Headshrinker is about the best you're going to see out of him.
natey2k4 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 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 Mountie Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 'If I remember correctly'. Apologies.
Guest jm29195 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Vs Ric Flair ended in count out if I recall correctly, imo easilly his best singles match....

The best part of this match is when they totally botch a roll-up and Savage says (with no apparent sarcasm): "What a manuever!!"
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 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.
JoeDirt Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 I like the match with Shawn Michaels at WM9 a lot. That and the Summerslam 1993 stuff is the only good stuff I've seen with him in it.

The Mountie Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 Didn't Tatanka face Bret Hart for the WWF Title during his short-lived comeback in early 1996?
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Non-Title, and it was pretty bad, one of Harts worst TV matches from 1996.
reign Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 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..
Guest TheDon Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Whatever happened to Tatanka? Why did he fall off the face of the earth???
Placebo Effect Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 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.
