I enjoyed it. Tag was pretty good. Asuka worked pretty much pure babyface for the hometown crowd and it turned out to be a good bout. Didn't watch Joe vs Nak a second time, which I now see was the unedited version

Who do you consider the least flawed wrestlers? Just to understand where you're coming from

You are a God among men, Landy

What is that even supposed to mean?

This was already discussed ad nauseum years ago

Piper was undeniably the hottest heel in wrestling at the time. Flair was actually a babyface in the Carolinas at that point, and wouldn't go full heel until the end of 85 with the formation of the Horsemen

I love that match. Haven't watched the whole show since I was a kid, but have seen matches here and there. Horrific commentary

Johnny Rodz vs Carlos Colon - 8/1/1977, MSG Random review here, as I'm watching the whole card just for the hell of it. Some people love puro, some love lucha, I love the 70s. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Colon wrestled in the WWWF in the late 60s, and last appeared at MSG 2/17/69. He was a frequent opponent of Rodz during that stint. Here though, the King of Puerto Rican wrestling enters the ring to silence. Vince Jr says "the fans here don't know much about Carlos", and to add insult to injury ring announcer Jack E. Lee announces him as "Carlos Ca-Lon". Rodz sucker punches Carlos at the bell and gets heat. Colon out fashion watches Johnny with a wonderful floral design singlet. To his credit, he is able to win the fans over when he makes his comeback, busting out not one, but two hurricanranas(!). Rodz bumps like a madman, which meant he respected Colon, as he wouldn't leave his feet for just anybody. After nearly 7 minutes, Colon wins with a victory roll. Not a good match overall. Nothing really in the way of psychology or heat. Rodz makes Colon look good if nothing else, and bumps more here than in most matches. Merry Christmas everyone. And remember, at the end of the day we all love wrestling, it is the most awesome form of entertainment ever created, and it comes in all shapes and sizes. With the 70s obviously being the best First match on the card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFTB7fZOPNY&t=25s&list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0BXlaewfw9iR2lIqGUQqfdl&index=11

More entertaining than about 90% of the big WWE shows this year. So much fun

Only watched Sasha vs Charlotte but I thought that was an amazing match. Really dramatic climax, like a team giving up the lead on a 4th down td as time expired and then finally being overwhelmed in ot after a grueling battle. I thought the leg work on Sasha was done extremely well

2009-2010 are as dark as the darkest days of the mid 90s IMO. Just pure trash

I love Foley but the whole X-Mas obsession is too much. OK we get it , you love X Mas a lot, like in a ridiculously out of control way. Enough for fucks sake I work in retail

It was already rejected as the name of the folder that became Military Industrial Suplex, but I'll throw out "Meet the Thesz Press" as a name tweak suggestion free of charge. Come on, someone take it!

Jesus, you guys are just miserable, morose motherfuckers In all the WWE threads

Our long national nightmare is finally over

I had Oney Lorcan in my top 3 in order to get him a push

Wait, I thought the table not breaking at Hell in a Cell was an intentionally brilliant spot in a match some proclaimed one of the greatest in the history of the known universe (I love Sasha and Charlotte but I will go to my grave thinking that match was one of the most overrated of all time)

It's gone now but suffice to say if you listened to it, none of what transpired here with him would've come as any surprise

Yeah, just a bit

Muhammad Ali bio was great. Bios on Lord James Blears and Ed Francis (last issue) provide a great history of wrestling in Hawaii. Blackjack Mulligan and Mr. Fuji bios were also good reads

Makes you miss the glory days of jdw vs JVK
