Spotlight: Zero One Wrestling - 2004 & 2005

Greetings from the internet! This time we're looking at Zero One Wrestling from 2004 & 2005. It's a grab bag though. There's a few stand alone matches from 2004. I was able to find a full show but only three matches interest me. Also please check out my new blog Wrestling Dream Battles. Just posted New Japan 1995 part #3 up there.  OK let's look at Zero One Wrestling! 2004 Leonardo Spanky vs. Josh Daniels (01/30) - Good back & forth juniors match. Simple stuff and although

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985 - Final

Hello fellow wrestling fans! We're back for the final installment of Mid South Wrestling for 1985. It's been a helluva project! Definitely check out the previous entries or my entries on G. Badger Puro + More for pre '85 Mid South. Without further ado, let's go! November & December 1985 Ric Flair vs Butch Reed (11/07 ep.#322) Al Perez was a big deal in MS at the time...holding tag titles for a good deal of '85 with Wendell Cooley but I thought I would include this match as a nod to

Spotlight: Zero One Wrestling - 2003

Hello! Now we're on to 2003 & Zero One Wrestling. I was able to selectively watch a couple shows. Also I will include the WEW matches featuring Zero One wrestlers. This is a doozy of a post. There's lots of quality wrestling here! Read on! Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Vansack Acid vs. Low Ki & Paul London (ZERO-ONE 03/02/03) - Oh yeah! This rocked! This is what the ROH guys were trying to do in tag matches in '03. This had great spots and never over stayed it's welcome. Paul London was e

Shoot Style Sampling - UWFi & RINGS - 1992

Hello! I'm continuing my selective look into 90's shoot style. Seeing as I'm cherry picking and avoiding tags & Takada, Albright, et al. we're starting mid way into 1992 with UWFi. Let's go! Yoji Anjoh vs. Masahito Kakihara (6/28/92) - This is looking to be a shoot style squash match early on as Anjo dominates. Kakihara delivers a gutsy performance. It's like the enhancement talent isn't going to go down so easily. This is a fine example of drama and storytelling in shoot style. This is

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985 - Part 4

Hello folks! Let's keep taking a look at Mid South Wrestling in 1985.   September & October 1985 Dr Death vs Dick Murdoch (09/19 ep.#315) - This was shaping up to be a very good match. Bob Sweetan (who is teaming with Williams while DiBiase is in Japan I think) gets involved. He hits Butch Reed who's also at ring side. Sweetan & Doc start beating up Murdoch. Reed comes into help but no good deed goes unpunished. Murdoch thinks Butch attacked him. And that sets up the next

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985 - Part 2

Thanks for reading folks! This is part #2 of Mid South Wrestling from 1985! April thru June 1985 The Fantastics (Fulton/Rogers) vs. The Dirty White Boys (4/14/85 Convention Center, Tulsa) - This was a great face/heel tag match. Excellent selling from the Rogers, the Dirty White Boys have a great clubbing style, great finish too. They really hooked me with this one! Terry Taylor vs Chris Adams (1985-05-26 - Convention Center, Tulsa, OK) - This was a good match but felt a little

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985

Hi there! I'm getting back to Mid South Wrestling. Thanks for following me with the new name & blog title. I've tried to make it pretty seamless. If you're just seeing this now, check out G. Badger's Puro + More for 7 years of old school wrestling reviews. I'm focusing on Japanese wrestling but review American wrestling as well like ROH, TNA, WCW and Mid South Wrestling. So I'm continuing that here so I can continue to entertain & inform 🙂. I am most interested in getting folks hyped on

Spotlight: UWFi & RINGS - Shoot Style Sampling

I've wanted to get back into shoot style for years. Paradoxically, I've wanted to avoid shoot style for years. The reason is that I have a difficult time transitioning back to traditional pro wrestling. It just looks slow or fake after watching shoot style for too long. Another reason is that I don't know if I necessarily enjoy how some shoot style matches are laid out and paced. Somethings are too quick and realistic and I'm unfairly comparing them to a real kickboxing or MMA bout. That or I'm
