    Incredible match, ranks up with the great virtuoso Fujiwara performances. Fujiwara worked this match as a wily veteran who is going to need to use style and guile in the face of a physically stronger, more athletic younger opponent. In the early part of this match, Fujiwara was completely defensive, subtly moving and blocking Takada’s shots so they never landed flush, he really reminded me of how James Toney would roll his shoulders and catch punches on his arms. Takada however eventually began to overwhelm his opponent with his activity and power. Fujiwara was still catching his body kicks, but they was more impact as he caught them, he was still blocking the head kicks, but just a second slower. It really looked like that despite all of his skill, he wasn’t going to be able to win this one. As the shots started landing, Fujiwara started dancing and taunting, the way a fighter will smile when he gets hit with a good shot. He knew his time was running short, and he needed to taunt Takada into making a mistake. Finish was awesome, Takada is chasing him around the ring, landing big shots, and he grabs a kneebar, Fujiwara kind of lies in the ring defeated, and then you can see him muster his final reserves, negotiate to his feet and reverse the kneebar wrenching it with all of his might and getting the submission. The crowd goes completely insane, chanting FUJIWARA, FUJIWARA, and Fujiwara celebrates with tears in his eyes. Really a one man show, but goddamn what a one man show.

    It was a true embarrassment either way

    That is a really great joke. Possibly the best Fuerza Guerrera joke I have ever heard

    I don't know much more then you guys. Servers need to be switched, and Rippa is on it. Dean posted on Facebook that it would be back up next week.

    He was definitely going to be in the WKO 2012 list. Folks should watch the Derrick King/Precious v. Jerry Lawler/Brian Christopher tag, classic Lawler and the kind of match which would make every old school wrestling fan smile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxp2imB-lXs

    For people looking for Memphis style wrestling in 2012. Here is my review of an awesome Derrick King/Precious v. Jerry Lawler/Brian Christopher match, would be right at home in the Mid-South Coliseum 25 years ago. http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2012/08/t...e-cause-he.html

    That sounds so awesome. I would rather watch, Memphis style then anything besides great lucha libre

    Looks like someone grabbed it and put it up as a hidden youtube file with classical music overdubbed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgOdNO-aY18...player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgayO4ZPGrA...player_embedded

    Back when I was watching a bunch of WAR, one of the things that really impressed about Tenryu was his ability to work with lower ranked guys. He was a master at walking the line between giving a guy too much and giving a guy too little. Everyone comes out of these matches looking better

    Frazier was always Shinya Hashimoto's punching bag when he was in Memphis too. He would totally amp up the beating Hashimoto style whenever he was matched up with Frazier

    This was awesome, each mat exchange didn't just have one reversal, it had reversals reversed into a reversal. Alot of Fujiwara's signature reversals got modified as Vale countered their initial move. I don't know what the politics of the promotion were, but Fujiwara doesn't job to anyone but he does two straight jobs to Vale without ever getting the win back. This really was the only match where Vale actual looked good enough to deserve to go over Fujiwara.

    You don't need two titles for that. Right now you could have one show main evented by Punk one by Cena. That would draw better then a show headlined by Sheamus even if Sheamus has a belt.

    This was pretty great, for some reason the yutz doing the handheld, finally realizes how to use the zoom function, so it is a lot more watchable then the other matches. This is worked really BattlArts style, as there is less matwork and more kicking people in the face and dumping them on the top of their heads. Nagata especially breaks out some nasty suplexes, you get the sense from this match if he had just worked BattlArts he could have ended up a second rate Usuda rather then a eighth rate Masahiro Chono

    Wow this was fun, this was a total mat spotfest, as both guys were working at a million miles an hour, spinning into combinations and counters. I remember Funaki breaking out almost a Casita into an armbar, and Greco is just great at the mat sprint.

    Which one was this? I had ECW TV at my dorm in college and Cactus's promos were unbelievable.

    I haven't seen this match in years, but I remember hating it.

    I am not saying that if you disagree you are an idiot. I was saying that the people I think are idiots and the people who disagree seem to completely overlap.

    Lesner leaped face first into a chain that split his head open. That kind of flash victory is the only one that makes sense. The venn diagram of "guys whining about the finish" and "guys who are fucking idiots" overlap almost completely so that makes me even more confident it was a good idea.
