    Here's my write-up:10-29-06 Necro Butcher vs. LuFisto Stranglehold LuFisto is showing off her belt, which Necro takes from her and hits her in the face with it. Necro chops LuFisto right in the tit. He tosses her around on the outside until she fires back with kicks and punches while screaming quite loudly. LuFisto throws Necro and he does a flip bump on the concrete floor. They exchange more punches on the floor where Necro nails her with a right cross to the jaw, which the announcer asks, “Is this legal?” Inside the ring they go and LuFisto goes to work on Necro. She places light tubes on his head and does a running knee smash to break the tubes in his face. LuFisto throws a bunch of chairs into the ring and Sabu throws at his head. Necro is legit selling the light tubes in the face moments ago. LuFisto goes all Kawada on Necro’s face. She is kicking the shit out of him, and is now carving his lower back with a broken light tube. She rubs blood from Necro’s back on her stomach. LuFisto breaks a light tube on Necro’s stomach, which is obviously legit painful and then busts it further over his head. Necro comes back with a belly slap and then scoop slams her with a chair on her back. Necro sets up two chairs - back-to-back - and delivers a backbreaker on it. That was truly a painful looking bump and there is absolutely no way it did not hurt her. Necro sets up the chairs so they are facing each other and they are doing the punch in the face spot. Necro hits LuFisto really hard in the face again and again. Necro puts the light tubes in-between the two chairs and wants a powerbomb, but LuFisto gets out and German suplexes Necro through the light tubes for the victory. *** In the sense of actual in-match punishment, Necro got his ass kicked, especially taking the lightube shot in the face. But the punch exchanges is where lines were crossed in my opinion. Just not something I enjoy watching.

    Goodhelemt made a 27 disc Hansen set -- released way back in Nov '08. Stan Hansen Thread in Trading & Shilling

    Yeah, I understand that. I was just under the impression that Will watched this stuff a la his other comps and/or projects.
  7. smkelly
    I thought you guys watched all of the footage before putting it on the sets though? Guess not.

    The ones that really bothered me was when Mae Young was taking bumps half the roster wouldn't take. And she was triple most of their ages. I just didn't understand the payoff of those bumps. Made the Dudley's more hated, sure, but at what risk? I'm no doctor, but I hardly doubt a woman of her advanced age should be taking bumps off stages or through tables coming off the top rope. But if you want to see where man on woman violence crossed many lines, then watch Necro versus LuFisto. I have thick skin and that match bothered me. It bothered the announcers and the crowd as well (in most cases). But taking a stunner or being starred down...eh. I never cheered it but I won't judge those who did. Our planet is full of fucked up things.

    They're all capable workers in their own regards, but if their matches are next on a DVD or on TV, I would rather watch someone else. I hate the idea of an unbeatable face who makes near impossible comebacks when the deck is stacked heavily against them. Like almost every wrestler on my list, they're capable workers but their style of wrestling is too hokey for me, a la the Von Erichs. Lawler had invincible Superman tendencies as well. And unlike other hailed epic matches, like 6/3/94 or 1/20/97 - backstory is not a requirement for an awesome match. I watched the two pimped Loser Leaves Town matches and thought that, yeah, they are good, but they're nowhere near what some say they are. Just never got into them as much as some. Again, all good workers, but I'd rather watch Hansen, Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi, Liger, etc than them. Lucha as a style is too hokey for me. I can understand a backdrop driver ending a match but not a hurricanrana. About the only lucha I really like is the stuff ECW had with Misterio versus Psicosis. I dislike comedy wrestling so Colt is nixed, and the other guys are what some would consider consciousness workers that do the moves they've seen in epic matches but don't really do anything else that is involved with the making of an epic match - like selling. I've always thought he sucked. Maybe if they were pushed more I would like them more but they seem like poor man replacements for superworkers. I mean, they are good workers, but I'd rather watch Rey, Punk, and especially Danielson any match on any show of the week.

    No offense but...Jesus, man. I was wondering if my anti-what-everyone-else-likes-post killed the board But yeah. I'm not as high on those as everyone else. I'm too heavily biased towards pre-split All Japan to really like anything else non-All Japan pre-split anymore. Most of 'em are good workers, but I just have different preferences of what is good, mediocre, and outright bad.

    Von Erichs, Killer Khan, Lawler, Dundee, Fujiwara, Hashimoto (most of the time), Choshu (most of the time), a lot of the lucha Gods, Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, El Generico, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Mr. Anderson, Drew McIntyre, Chris Masters, Cena, Rock, Hogan. I could go on. And I think some of those dudes I plain just dislike, like the Von Erichs.

    Funk in MLW was pretty cool. Barbed wire matches with Corino and the passable War Games match.
  13. smkelly
    I'm assuming those are the taped matches, no? Still not bad in comparison to modern wrestling - like the WWE and their drawn out feuds, like Cena-Orton.
  14. smkelly
    Flair has had some relatively awesome hardcore matches since leaving WCW. TLC in '06 against Edge on Raw was pretty awesome. It puts Lawler/Miz to shame, honestly. I Quit against Foley at SummerSlam '06 was very violent.
  15. smkelly
    Of the five RINGS matches I have ever seen, this is either #4 or #5 on the list. And that isn't a bad thing when the other matches were huge classics, which is exactly what this match is. A classic.
  16. smkelly
    Definitely weird to see someone submit. Awesome heat in this match, especially towards the end. And yeah, Kobashi took some hellacious kicks to the face in this one - like when he ran into the gamengiri.
  17. smkelly
    The clipped version I have runs around ten minutes. It is an awesome ten minutes but the spots and bumps feel disconnected from what they'd eventually build themselves into within the context of their decade long feud. It was also very "My turn"-"Your turn" orientated in a way that made it a lesser match than their later and more fabled encounters. The elbow Kobashi took on the way down from the top was awesome.
  18. smkelly
    I disagree that Misawa sold the elbow throughout the match. He was still doing rolling elbows, but, I will say this, it works. Misawa pretty much KO'd Kawada in their previous match and Kawada definitely wanted to avoid that. This is one of those things that All Japan used to do really well. Building layers of accumulated knowledge throughout a decade long feud. Excellent match.
  19. smkelly
    I think the finish in this match was different than what actually happened. Kawada looked to be legit knocked out at the end. Awesome match though. I liked how they set the pace from the get go. Intense stiffness and bomb throwing.
  20. smkelly
    Who thought this match was disappointing? What were they using to base those conclusions off anyway? It was their first taped match against one another, no? Misawa was still pretty fresh as the Ace by this point and he brought Kawada up to his general vicinity in this match. Crowd was very pro-Kawada too. The face lock near the end was pretty heated and the gamengiri popped the crowd as well the stretch plum. Easily in the running of MOTY for 1992.

    I believe it's for the CMLL World Middleweight Championship. You're right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CMLL_...eight_Champions

    One of the better matches I've seen either man in. I liked this the first time I saw back in the mid-nineties and it has stuck with me throughout the years. Maybe the best carry job of all-time? Certainly top ten.

    "In terms of everything" = things like gates (WM 3), importance to continued existence (WM 1), or building foundations for future ideas (Steamboat/Youngblood-Slaughter/Kernodle). Any one of those three could be a viable answer, but as usual, my bias is towards actual in-ring product, ie 4/16/94 (Super J Cup and Kawada-Williams).

    The grandpa that'd bust your ass for not listening to him.
