  1. Muto vs. Hashimoto G1 1995 Finals Great slow build match here. I liked Muto's early matwork, as he wasn't singling out a leg, but rather he was just trying to get any leg he could get. This makes sense because the matwork was competitive, and Hashimoto was doing a good job of avoiding and counters Muto's shots. The last 10 minutes was just great back and forth, with awesome selling from both. I wish Hashimoto had won, but Muto pretty much had to take it after hitting 2 moonsaults. Maybe the best NJ heavyweight match I've seen, pending a re-view of Muto vs. Chono's G1 91 final.

  13. I thought Kawada vs. Suzuki wasn't a MOTYC, but I also thought it was better than quite a few of the matches on the MOTYC list. Actually, there were a few matches in the G1 that would fall under that category. I can list them if you want them.
  14. Carlos Colon teehee
  15. I just watched Eddy Guerrero and Rey Mysterio's June 23 2005 Smackdown match. Best WWE TV match I've seen, and WWE MOTY for 2005! I loved Rey's intensity early and his use of the abdominal stretch. I loved Eddy snapping and picking up the pace after getting somewhat dominated early. The long heat segment on Rey was great, and Eddy's offense was really focused. Just a classy match all around, and goes to show that just because 2 guy's are having a "sports entertainment" feud, doesn't mean they can't have good, solid wrestling matches. Also, people should check out Kawada vs. Suzuki from this year's G1. It was basically a better version of Kobashi vs. Suzuki. ie. Suzuki versus a strong opponent, but being a dick until the very end.
  16. Quite true. I actually tend to think Angle is pretty good in short matches, where long-term selling/build/story don't really come into play. Otherwise he just seems to lack the creativity/intelligence for doing longer matches.
  17. This is a good point, and ties into my belief that psychology in wrestling needs to be well defined, otherwise there's no limit to what the viewer can infer from a match. Many "meaningless" spots can be made into meaningful spots, but it's doubtful that the wrestlers are actually going for that sort of meaning. For example, I saw Koshinaka vs. Chono from the 1995 G1 today, which had Koshinaka jumping Chono before the bell and hitting some moves. A few minutes later, it slowed down and Chono used a halfcrab. One could say "The halfcrab is a brilliant spot, since Chono wants to slow the match down after Koshinaka's fast start". But really, did this spot realistically have that meaning, when the "Chono wants to slow it down" story wasn't actually played up in any other way? But I've seen attempts to single out certain spots and try to give them meaning, when the story isn't played up in any other way. It just can't work that way, otherwise there's no end to it.
