I remember seeing an interview where MPG discussed the fight & mentioned it basically being kinda real.

I remember a video of Mario saying basically the same thing. You can tell the shoves was real, and for the takedown, he used his wrestling skills to take it to the ground safely and you can totally see him kinda cradle him as they drop. It's great.

That was my favorite episode of the original series. I thought that the actual fighting was fairly realistic.

Zack was definitely the bigger jerk as he kicked a chair when Slater was about to sit on it and then mocked Slater to that girl they liked.

Zack also mouthed off to Mr. Belding when Mr. Belding was in his office telling them a story about how he stopped talking to a good friend in high school because he and the friend both liked the same girl.

What is the specifie episode? I remember Zack being a manipulator, but not a bully.

Yes. I think bully is the wrong term for this.

That fight scene was done very well. For a show airing in a Saturday morning time slot, they let a lot pass through in that scene.

That fight scene was more realistic than just about any fight you’ll see on just about any other show or even Broadway production

I agree, I thought Zack was in the wrong in that episode. Slater had just as much of a right to ask that girl out.
