Perhaps the biggest (no pun intended) revelation overall from the DVDVR 80s project. Has a couple of really great singles matches but also really shines in a tag team setting. Shockingly athletic for his size he is one of the great big men bumpers of all time. Great bleeder.

He's pretty much the god of cage match insanity. A morbidly obese man like that absolutely under no circumstances should be able to bump like he did. That splash off the top rope on Adnan Kaissey is sheer fucking lunacy and one of the most holy shit spots I've ever seen. That 2/3 falls match with Reed in St Louis was also awesome.
In the afterglow of the AWA 80s set I had him over Vader, but I don't think I'd go that far now. Still, he was great and I had him bottom quarter on my GWE ballot in 2016.

I'm glad you mentioned that Butch Reed match because I fucking LOVE that match. One of the greatest "holy shit is this really this great?" matches I've ever seen. There's a "strong man unable to slam the fat guy because the fat guy is too fat" spot that is my favorite spot of that type ever.
I wouldn't go so far as to put him over Vader, but Blackwell isn't so far behind that its crazy or anything. He was awesome.
