Which one? I think there are two or three two rings six man matches

For folks who loved Spoiler v. Wahoo, I found a clipped house show match between the two on youtube Lots of great stuff in this one too, although its mostly clipped except the last six minutes, Wahoo takes a crazy bump in the corner, they do some very cool stuff with Wahoo fighting out of the claw including a judo throw with Spoiler getting dumped but hanging on, and all of the great chops and clubbing forearms you would expect. Finish was very cool, with Wahoo pulling off the Spoilers mask at the same moment as the Spoiler pulling off the refs shirt to shield his face. This feels like a legendary feud, I hope some more of it turns up.

Really fun big hoss brawl. Crowd is going nuts and the announcer needs to ask the crowd to move back. Pretty much punches and football tackles but these are great guys to watch throw punches and football tackles. Duggan has such great energy in these kind of matches, and DiBiase does a good job flopping

I want to add my voice to the chorus of praise for Wahoo v. Spoiler. Reviewed it over at Segunda Caida Price Tag Review Maybe my favorite new match we have seen from this project. Loved every second of it.

Awesome 2 out 3 falls war. Very cool match structure which actually reminded me of MS1 v. Sangre Chicana (aka the greatest wrestling match ever). Spoiler blitzes Wahoo from the start, just beating on him from pillar to post, with nasty elbows to the head and neck and a big headbut which splits Wahoo open. Nothing fancy here, but every stomp,elbow and slam was just brutal. Spoiler isn't a fancy highflyer, but he is really agile, and gets to the top with tremendous ease, really the first time I have seen the Spoiler and gotten the hype, he was so good here. Wahoo doesn't hit an offensive move for the first five minutes or so, but turns the tide with a huge chop to the head, you totally buy Wahoo as a guy who has one shot power like that.. After Wahoo gets on track it is back and forth brutality for 3 falls. We get a great BS finish with Wahoo countering the claw hold by turning around the Spoiler's mask, and the blind Spoiler claws Gary Hart and then the ref before getting DQed. Loved the idea of the blind bear just mauling everyone. Such a great match, and a hell of a discovery.

When you tape your fist it cushions your fist so you can throw a harder punch. It is why boxers and MMA fighters tape their fists before fights

The Ivan v. Dusty match was part of the stuff we watched for the mid-south set. It was fun for sure

Man alive that main event looks so good. After watching the Mexican Death cage match, and seeing how great Lothario and Gino have been in other matches, I think that might be an all time great feud. So excited to see all of their matchups

Man Caprice Coleman is still around? I remember him as Ice on the old Omega shows back in the 90s he has got to be getting on in years

I would assume Robert Fuller would be the benefactor, maybe he could talk about how he became friends with the VIllanos in WCW.

I was just teasing Bruce, I am over the moon happy with the service so far, I was just trying to negotiate for an extra match

Yeah give us something good today Bruce If we have to eat JYD v. Darsow gruel, give us some dessert.

I am going to second that. Lothario has been the big revelation of this footage, nothing we had of him before would suggest he was this great as a brawler. The more Lothario the better!!

Ian rotten was probably a top 5 Indy worker in the 2000s. Reviews here http://z11.invisionfree.com/wrestling_ko/index.php?showtopic=2440&st=0last

Although listing this as "The Beginning of the Feud" is a little misleading, this was the Mexican Death match blowoff, not the beginning

I look at Jose a lot like I look at Jackie Fargo, very similar wrestlers where we mostly have a handful of brawls near the end of their career. I am going to rank both and I need to think about who goes higher. We are getting a new awesome Lothario match a week at this point, so I imagine he will end up higher. As far as footage we have to be willing to go with some small sample size guys or we will be limiting ourselves to guys who's primes were in promotions with tape in the mid 80s and beyond. For example how many great Tommy Rich matches do we have? But no one can make a list like this and DQ Tommy Rich.

I think Jose Lothario needs to be at least discussed, as NWA Classics throws up great match after great match. I have some reviews on SC and there are some in the matches forum

Did we have that from the mid-south set?

This was a steel cage (called a fence match by Boesch) Texas death match. Bix mentioned this was available before, but I had never heard about it or seen it, so it was new to me. JIP after the first fall, but we get almost 20 minutes. Classic bloody 70s/80s cage match. Hernandez was a revelation, bumping, selling, bleeding and landing some big shots. Both guys were really good at milking drama out of 10 counts, Lothario is a simple wrestler but he has great expressiveness, awesome punches and pretty good old man bumping. I liked the finish a lot with Lothario going tailbone and spine first into the post, as a counter to a nasty neck crank. Felt like something which might paralyze someone, and definitely should have kept him down for 10. Great, great cage match, Gino is the guy who is going to get the biggest reputation boost from this footage.

Really fun short 2/3 falls match. First fall is all Staisiak bumping around for Andre and trying to work towards the heart punch. The first couple of times hit tried it Andre fired back with this huge thrust punch which looked like he almost beheaded him. Stasiak hits the heart punch and gets DQed for the first fall which felled the giant. Stasiak goes after him in the second fall but Andre counters and takes him out with a big splat. Really smartly worked fun stuff, all of this early Andre has been a gold mine.

Fellow SC'er MattD came across this youtube page which is uploading a treasure trove of previously unavailable AJPW stuff from the 70's and 80's (Bruno v. Brody, Murdoch v. Race ect.) This is the one that leaped out at me, a dream match you never really dreamed about. Lots of great moments in this with Funk weeble wabble selling from Blackwell's ham hock punches, Terry trying a bunch of headbutts which Blackwell smiles at, and then blasts him with a headbutt of his own (which left a swath of Terry's blood on Blackwell's head, and a rare clean finish. Blackwell is a great guy with a limited amount of footage, and it so fun for a new gem like this to show up.

I reviewed Funk v. Blackwell over at Segunda Caida http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-motherfucking-internet-terry-funk-v.html Fellow SC'er MattD came across this youtube page which is uploading a treasure trove of previously unavailable AJPW stuff from the 70's and 80's (Bruno v.

Yeah I would also be a lot less excited if instead of a daily Houston update we get a Ray Rowe match or soemthing

Huh? This isn't the case at all. It gets people invested in the match and builds heat (i.e. gets the match over) but I think wrestlers get over because of some combination of: winning/push, look, charisma, interviews, and (more recently) overall wrestling ability. The logical conclusion of your argument would be wrestlers who don't sell or sell well won't be over which is not true. You have your Goldbergs, Warriors, Sids, Undertakers, etc. No. Just because someone states that selling helps get someone over, does not mean that not selling does not get them over. That is horrible logic. It is specifically a necessity vs. sufficiency flaw if anyone is thinking about taking the LSAT

Too short a career to really consider, although I love him every time he shows up. If we had a bunch of footage of the Hickerson/Condrey tag team he might be a maybe, but he was rarely a full time wrestler even when he was active, he would do a three month program and take a year off
