    Every time I see Kanemura & Tanaka on the same side it just feels so....wrong He was best known for being Corporal Kirchner in WWF. He could be decent, even ocasionally (as in like once, maybe twice a year if you're lucky) good especially if he was booked in multi man matches and or crazy brawls but by and large he fuckin stunk and matches like this are very much exceptions to the rule. Fun as a gimmick guy tho in small doses. Unless there was one in the really early days they never had one that made tape atleast. Didn't cross paths that often in tags either actually since they were usually involved in diffrent feuds when Oya was a heel and in 98 & on they were both usually faces on the same side or in diffrent places on the card to whear a singles wouldn't make sense.

    Uhhh, anyone else not able to hear Dave at all on the latest show Dylan sounds fine but all I get is silence when he's not talking I tried ff to diffrent points in the show and it appears to happen throughout

    First few mins of this kinda stunk dog ass but somewhear along the way they all found some weird common ground between the styles and this became a pretty good match.

    Oh yeah, I remember this. This was during his short pre NWO all black phase right? I recall it leading to a really good Hogan vs Sting match (I believe their first ever) on Nitro around this time.

    Yeah I always liked this one. Surprised you guys left out the Arn vs Flair cage match the previous week that set this up.

    The problem is I don't buy that he was working a gimmick, atleast not at first. Eventually it evolved into one sure but not during the time frame i'm talking about. He wasn't working back then as ECW era RVD, guy who thinks he's the whole f'n show and wants to show off how cool he is. He wasn't working as over confident guy, underestimating his opponents and toying with them to purposely drag the matches out. He was just a dude who blatantly was doing stuff because he saw it on a tape and thought it looked cool and seemed like he couldn't care less if it entertained the ppl who were watching or not, name droping obscure foreign wrestlers names on commentary at a show he was working in front of like 40 fans in some southern US high school gym to sound smart and draging his matches out excessively just for the sake of it. Don't remember which specific show but I recall at one of the Chikara tag tournaments him & Claudio having like 20 min matches with Sumie Sakai & Ranmaru and Hydra & someone else i'm blanking on. I'm one of the few guys left who does still really love long matches but stuff like that really had no business at all getting as much time as it did and is an example of him at his worst. Only times I really enjoyed any of his stuff was when he was wrestling Eddie Kingston since while I don't know if it's true or not (and if it isn't I don't wanna know) I 100% bought that they genuinely dislike each other and their feud was built around good ole fashion "I wanna punch your face in" hatred.

    I wanna say early 2000's, starting circa 02 and going on for a while afterwards. Whatever year was it he was having those awful 30 min matches w Trik Davis in IWA MS was probably the peak of my dislike for him. I was a big fan of his before then and i've come back around a bit on him in the past year or 2 but yeah for a time to me he was the epitome of "masturbatory" wrestler.

    Chris Hero The phase he went trough after first discovering WOS produced some horrid stuff and led to him becoming my least fav wrestler in the world for quite a while

    Don't see piledrivers period as often as you used to.

    I always thought Heat were really good. Don't remember much about this match but I recall them having some good tv matches w Buck & Slater. Is much else from the Parker/Sherri romance covered on this set? I remember getting a big kick out of the angle at the time.

    More amused he didn't go back and edit out Brent Kremen's full phone # making air when he tried to call him and got the answering machine. He tried to talk over it sure but did a lousy job of it so it was pretty easy to make out.

    Their previous match a couple months back was a title match to crown a new Brass Knuckles champ, the top title in the company at the time after Onita vacated it when he retired. After winning the match Hayabusa said he didn't want to win it like that and instead wanted to prove himself more so this match is part of the tournament they had to crown a new champ. Heh, guessing your only previous experience was his 94 J-Cup match & the ECW abomination tag Yeah he's a billion times better then what you'd exspect going off stuff like that. My favorite wrestler of all time. FMW's a funny thing. Back when I was first getting into puro they used to get tons of love from certain segments of the online fandom then for whatever reason they stoped getting talked about as much and now newer fans don't pay much attention to it but yeah i'll put the best FMW up against anything else from any other company, All Japan included. The promotion really peaks in 97 going into 98 & 99. 2000 falls off tho still plenty of good matches and I just finished watching all of 2001 which kinda sucked at the start but was actually a great year from about May/June on. 2002 nose dived again but there were only 4 or 5 shows that year before the company closed tho there's been lots of quality stuff from the post FMW groups as well, WMF/WEW/Apache, etc...

    Lol, wait, you just now noticed that? Sakie's all about nothing but matwork and spaming lots & lots of spin kicks, suplexes and exploders over & over again.

    Ah you're right. I was confusing this with the 6 man that's later on in this set.

    I remember this being one of the more awesome moments from the early days of RAW. Bulldog turns on Diesle, HBK tries to make the save and Dean Douglas takes him out, Undertaker runs in and Mable & Yokokuna take him out him with fat guy leg drops, Jim Cornette running around directing traffic. Chaos & destruction everywhear. If I remember corectly this was during the short period Bill Watts was booking and like a week later he was fired and they botched following up on this in any meaningful way.
  19. FLIK
    yeah, don't remember which but in some shoot Douglas told a story about how much he knew it sucked so one day he cut a Dean Douglas promo in more of his normal style while Vince was gone and everyone in the room loved it and said how much better it was. When Vince came back in, he did it for him, Vince didn't like it and then everyone else who'd said they loved it earlier refused to back him up & go against Vince so he got forced back into cutting the promos the crappy way McMahn wanted. Think he said something about how it was supposedly based off a real life teacher Vince had years back that he hated.

    I remember exactly two things about his run in WCW. 1) the time he fucked up Road Warrior Hawk's arm on a Clash of the Champions and 2) the time Disco Inferno beat him on Nitro when a giant Disco ball lowered from the cieling and he smashed him in the back with it.

    Wasn't feeling the matwork in this one too much myself. It was good but nothing mind blowing, thought things got much better in the 2nd half when it was all about the big moves. Interesting to see them plug high end more modern style action into the more traditional Euro round format. As a comparison I thought the Owen Hart vs Dann Collins match from 91 I watched a month or so back smoked this but that felt more like a modern match that happened to have rounds then an old school match being done with updated moves if that makes sense.

    NWA Tri State 3-24-2002 Jerry Lynn vs Rey Mysterio Jr Very first move of the match is Rey throwing a kick to the gut that misses by atleast a foot and Lynn still sells, all downhill from thear. 7 mins of really generic indyrific flips and ranas and armdrags. Just really really low end stuff even by early 00 indy standards. That whole period between WCW shutting down and WWF picking him up was quite the interesting time for Rey whear he was working random tiny US indies & CMLL. Thinking about it, not that he hadn't done enough to be considered an an all time great by then but Rey's unique as a guy who had a significant career pre WWF and actually may have gotten better after going thear as usually it's the other way around.

    Yeah, Hayabusa was always Awesome's best opponent. I actually think the 3rd of the 3 matches they had in 95 was their best ever whear they went about 25 mins or so. It wasn't his go to type of match by far but when the occasion called for it Awesome could go on the mat and build a slower paced more dramatic style match quite well. Cracked vetebrae & a busted lip He didn't do the SSP too much after that and eventually droped it all together.

    Never had a problem with this since about once every leap year he manages to actually hit the move to great success and he even won 1 of his World Titles with a flying cross body over Windham in I think 93. Like sure 99.9% of the time he fails but that 0.01% of the time he doesn't it's game over.
