Mark Coleman was a brute who never quit

Fear not amigos, your legendary hero The Hammer still has some gas left in the tank.

Grandpa strength is no joke.

For the love of god, they've got him fighting fomer HW champ 50-8 Montell Griffin who has two wins over James Toney; WTF?!

Looks like he can still moved, especially compared to Coleman.

Prime Mark Coleman was so strong, someone uploaded his match against Kirk Trost (who is a beast himself, 2x NCAA All-American,) a couple years ago =>

That was from that time => https://eu.oklahoman.com/story/news...ers-face-olympic-trials-gauntlet/62492595007/

I hope he's given up on that boxing match that he's supposed to have next month (supposed to be on October the 14 I think?)
But if he needs to stay competitive to remain sober, then what can we do?

WAR THE HAMMER

Let him coach something?

 

[don't ask]

Colemans knees to the head of downed opponents are up there in terms of the worst strikes to be on the receiving end of.

There was a time I thought the Hammer House guys were legit going to kill or paralyze someone with their knees.

Sometimes I think they need to bring back knees to the head on the ground, but then when I actually see it maybe it is too brutal.

Mark is a legend.

Always will remember the time when Mark put his foot down on Wanderlei's neck lmao.

A pic that was many a sherdoggers avatar for quite some time.

He did what he had to do to feed his family.

In my opinion, an adult version of Nick diaz and his buddies beating up on Mayhem lol.

I went into that Shogun fight hoping for Shogun to style on him so bad. Midway through the fight, I was yelling at the TV supporting Coleman.

Crazy that he beat Bonnar at UFC 100 too

Agreed. It was wild

Not only the knees, but the Hammer House slams & stomps were also pretty darn vicious!

Wes "The Project" Sims

I'm still mad that the PRIDE match-up between Fujita & Sims was scrapped because it was considered "non-competitive", what kinda bullshit is that?

Phil "NYBA" Baroni

Kevin "The Monster" Randleman

The closest I've ever come to having a heart attack while watching a fight.

Post edited, misclick screwed me over

Sadly, I had watched that Randleman fight knowing that Fedor had come out on top (that was back in the days when I was in Europe, and at that particular time my brothers and I would buy the DVDs of PRIDE events in the month following the event, so we had to be very careful about spoilers..)

Anyway, despite our best precautions, we learned that Fedor had retained his belt, but that Randleplex was so brutal that for a second I thought I had read that result wrong,

Prime Kevin was so athletic, he moved like a cat, not like a dude his size/weight




(against the "GIANT CONVICT" Jan Nortje, perhaps better known to MMA fans as the dude that Sokoudjou demolished in the first round of the Super Hluk GP

Hahaha I've never seen his pro wrestling stuff before. Of course he was a high flyer!

Coleman was probably too tough for his own good. All heart, muscle, and gristle.

But goddamn has it cost him his later years.

 

[Richard Fannin]

Kurt Angle recently on Rogans podcast . Said Coleman was strongest guy he ever wrestled and Kerr the most physically gifted .

I believe that!

 

[Richard Fannin]

I was a big fan of Hammer House back in the day (except Baroni, turns out I was psychic) and I just found this wrestling gif of Mark that shows him brute forcing some guy's anatomy into new adventures:

Haha, yes! I finally found it! It's from Mark Coleman's match against Olympic Silver medalist Heiko Balz from Germany

Man, what a way for Coleman to lose. It was like Judo on a charging bull.
