    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.
  20. Phil Schneider
    Totally agree, it kind of felt like an Ogawa v. Hashimoto match, just great stuff. I also felt Cena winning was perfectly consistent with the match and the right move. You can't have your main guys demolished with no comeuppance, and it certainly didn't hurt Lesnar.

    I was talking to Lee Benaka about an OMEGA show we went to back in the 90's. There was a street fight between Gemini Kid/Mad Maxx v. Venom/Shane Helms. Dean, Rippa and I were sitting on a couch in the crowd. Venom told us to move and just chucked Maxx onto our couch smashing it into kindling

    A hell of match. I was a little hesitant about the NJ Juniors being able to hang in this kind of MPRO sprint, but they totally brought it. Ohtani especially was great, springboarding all over the ring and having a dickhead smirkoff with TAKA. Man alive, the MPRO team were sick athletes, just watching the speed they run the ropes, and the height they get on every move, when Sasuke somersaults through on the dropdown he just floats in the air forever. Of course our boy SATO is at his chubbiest and his fastest, he may have had the prettiest dive of the train with his double jump flip plancha. Liger is also just tailor made for this style, he captains his team so well, he is calling the plays like Jason Kidd. The finish was awesome as we get a triple flying headbutt on Shiryu, before Liger brings him to the top rope and spikes him through the mat with a brainbuster. I don't understand why this style is so bad now, why can't there be guys still doing this?

    Pretty much a perfectly executed MPRO formula six man. It has everything you expect, the intricate lucha armdrags and ranas, the signature comedy spots, the crazy dive train. When these guys get on this kind of roll, it really is something special. Man 1994 Sato (Togo) is one of the most athletic impressive wrestlers in history, the speed and agility he executes his stuff is incredible. He and Delfin match up to start the match, and their exchanges are at Gods Must Be Crazy speed. Sato also wins the dive train which is pretty impressive considering the company he keeps. We get Shiryu and Naniwa next, and they have a more mat based match up, with Shiryu ripping off some really quick amateur rides. It had been a long time since I have seen the Naniwa/Delfin MX arm wringer spot, but man do those guys execute it perfectly. Delfin is great as a cocky douche really getting into working over the arm, and Naniwa is also great as a guy sad and angry at always being a schlemiel. Outside of one awkward Shinzaki spot (and honestly he didn't bring a ton to this) this was textbook stuff, and exactly the kind of thing I fell in love with when I first saw it.

    Tremendous match, pretty much a textbook TV title style match. Both guys target a body part, Arn with the arm, and Regal with the neck, and they go after them. Lesser wrestlers working this style will just go back to the same holds (even Flair pretty much just works the leg in the context of the figure four), but both Arn and Regal put on a ton of different locks and they all look great. It makes inherent sense, if you can't get a submission with a cravate try a crossface, hammerlock doesn't work use and arm stretch. Arn works a great hammerlock, bodyslamming Regal, turing him into a pin while holding it. Regal meanwhile wrenched the hell out of Arn's neck, cranking cravates, cracking him in the mouth with crossfaces. The brawling in this match was great too, Arn has a really pretty right hand and Regal was just vicious with uppercuts and headbutts. Finish run was very exciting as they worked the countdown with Arn desperately trying for the belt and Regal stalling. The crowd was super into the match at this point, chanting USA and popping huge for Arn's spinebuster. Finish was pretty surprising, as Regal gets the pin by holding onto Dundee's umbrella with 15 seconds left. It was a twist in a good way as everyone was expecting either an Arn win or a time limit draw. 1994 maybe the best in ring year in wrestling history, and this felt on the level of the other great matches of that year. If this looks like something on paper you would like, go watch it, it truly exceeds expectations.
