Match of the Debut - Forgotten 90's tag team number 101: The Blackhearts

The Blackhearts vs. Dave Hart & Mike Winner - WCW Saturday Night (1993)

The Blackhearts were a mysterious team to say the least. You may notice that these guys look a lot like another forgettable character that only appeared maybe once or twice in the 90's - The Black Phantom. If you did notice this, I'm really impressed and as it turns out, you would be correct - at least with one of them. See, The Blackhearts were a team made up of Tom Nash and David Heath AKA The Black Phantom AKA Gangrel. I have no idea who's who, but apparently Heath was called Apocalypse and Nash was Destruction. Of course, Jesse Ventura had no idea what their names were here during their debut on WCW television, so they were just referred to as Blackheart #1 and #2.

As legend has it, The Blackhearts, who started in Stampede Wrestling, were the bastard sons of Stu Hart. As for the screeching and weird hand gestures they would do, well, that's all apart of the mystery that was The Blackhearts.

Enjoy.

Match of the Day - Fangin' and Bangin' in ECW 1995

Tommy Dreamer w/Luna Vachon vs. Vampire Warrior - ECW (1995)

Sometime after Luna Vachon's departure from WWF in 1994, crazy Luna surfaced on ECW as Tommy Dreamers' valet during his long-running with Raven (who also worked in WWF around the same time Luna was there). Things started to get really semi-crazy though when the real life husband of Luna Vachon, David "(pre) Gangrel" Heath showed up and demanded to take Luna back from Dreamer. Heath, not yet know as that guy with the Seinfeld shirt that spat blood everywhere, appearing in ECW as Vampire Warrior would take the fight to "The Innovator of Violence" all over the ECW arena - providing Dreamer to grab weapons that fans brought to the show to use and so neither of them actually had to rassle.

Though Tommy Dreamer gets the win with the DDT off of a chair and Vampire Warrior seemingly doesn't get his wife back, this was not the last time Heath would be seen in ECW. As far as wrestling matches go for Heath in ECW, I have only seen one other match featuring Vampire Warrior...  It was a match he tagged with Dudley Dudley (the only pure-Dudley in the family) against the team of The Steiner Brothers. I also want to say that this was not Vampire Warriors' debut match in ECW; his first match actually being against Hack Myers.

I also meant to throw in a "Dark Phantom" joke in there somewhere but lost steam.

Oh well... Here's Luna's husband at the time taking on Tommy Dreamer in classic ECW fashion.
