Rampage Jackson wrestles in high school


Powerbomb! On his freaking head! WWE? No, high school wrestling. Is it illegal? Is it a five-point throw? It's Rampage Jackson!

Damn that first slam!

an athlete

id still say slam even in free he didnt bring him down with control but i could be wrong and if ref didnt call it im probly wrong

Rampage reached full maturity at the ripe age of 11

Yikes! 

How is that legal in wrestling?   It looks so likely to at least paralyze someone!

that is not legal in any form of wrestling... everything is illegal in folk and in free, once you go head down feet up everything has to occur to the side... that cherry bomb clearly did not occur to the side...

very definition of brutality...

i'm ok with it...

Rampage breaks my heart. He could have been 10X if he took it seriously. 

he didn’t care to break his neck? wow perfect for Pride event.

You can’t throw like that anymore. Must come down to your knees when your opponent makes contact or before. 

yes and slams are illegal When i say slam i mean illegal slam

Could you imagine being your normal high school self and having to wrestle rampage?  I would have just been ragdolled like a baby and then crawled off the mat.

i used to think that but he actually kinda was an overachiever with great boxing technique.  As rampage got over 32 years old he started losing all his speed and becoming a slow plodding guy, he also lost his freak punching power, and just started throwing slower hooks.  It explained alot when rampage said he has been dealing with hypthyroid for years.

Freestyle.

Nah definite underachiever due to his natural ability and effort put in.

Weird that Rampage did not even try to slam people later in his career. Yep he had huge power but his slams were fucking brutal and I have a hard time finding anyone else who was so good at them. But he stopped WHY?!

makes total sense

first he lost his slam wrestling type of stuff

then his punching power

With the rules changing so much over the years, it’s tough to say what was legal back then. Look like early 90’s or so. My era, and I don’t recall any calls for illegal slams back then. Mayhave been, but I don’t remember them.

Page was legit world championship level for a brief period, but when Juanito walked, his hands fell apart.

Shit knees probably

Interesting. Never considered this. 

I just wanted more for him. I was a mega fan during pride...
