Superstar Sleeze

Election & personal life drama has distracted me from what matters in life, professional wrestling! #275: I feel like Ive seen this, but don't remember it. #274 - First sighting of Casas??? #273 - Toyota vs Kong seems like a good idea #272 - Lots of Joshi #271 - Been on the fence of OMEGA...sell me on it #270 - Weirdly enough, Ive never seen this. #269 - WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! You aint sneaking this one by me! This is a Top 100 match of the 90s brutha. Whats going on, here, brutha? Are you a part of this crazy Takada backlash?!?!?!? Say it aint so! #268 - Heavy Metal is good at wrestling? #267 - Love Machine is such a great wrestling name. So is Madonna's Boyfriend. #266 - Along with the Roadies match, this is a Hogan match I really need to see #265 - Really wanted to see this... but cant find it #264 - Great match, haven't seen it in a couple years, but you cant go wrong with the 95 Carnival #263 - Love the Steiners vs Mutoh & Hase great Dome fun. #262 - Santo is popular in this set. #261 - Toyota vs Dynamite sounds like a fun pairing. #260 - More and more All Japan as we move up the rankings. #259 - More Santo #258 - Kong vs Bull sounds like a fun pairing #257 - OH HELL YEAH!!! RWTL 99 Finals gets slept on but it was a badass match. Second to last great Stan Hansen match #256 - OH HELL YEAH!!! Hashimoto vs Yamazaki have an amazing G-1 finals with Hashimoto selling magnificently but fighting like only he can. #255 - Just watched this. Unimpressed. This is better than Vader/Takada?!?!?!? #254 - Santo is the king of 275-250 #253 - Chiggy is a fun nickname #252 - Need to see this. #251 - OMEGA intrigues me

Dr. Death vs Bodacious Bart - WWF RAW 7/27/98 Your winner Bodacious Bart! Lol! As far as toughman contests go this, it was pretty good. JR didn't seem too shocked or disappointed that his boy went down. He did do damage control in the aftermath. Bart did look a lot more comfortable in this than Doc. Bart was a big, athletic boy but had zero charisma. Good knockout.

Just watched this. Late 90s were so lame.

Totally disagree, thought Hogan was on fire here. Some of the best looking offense from him and I thought the chops were hard and everything looked good!

Nope watched that match. Very good match. Didn't have that ending. Had Tanaka celebrating at the end. Awesome throwing Spike into the crowd from the ring was insane!

Yes, it happened in ECW of all places. Sometime in 1996. Ill check. 8/24/96, finished seventh on Smarkschoice ECW poll. Weird to think the Can-Ams had two of the greatest RVD matches in two radically different promotions.

What Loss votes 287th as the best match of the 90s matters more than my Presidential Vote. That's a shoot, bruthas! #300 - Not the famous match. Even the famous When Worlds Collide match always seemed like a very good match rather than a classic, but I need to watch lucha more closely. #299 - Speaking of things I need to watch more closely...Joshi! #298 - Sabu & 1-2-3 Kid die for our pleasure #297 - Never seen this match surprisingly. I guess when I think about it I have really only seen the really, really famous juniors matches. 296 - Joshi with not very cool names boooooooooooo #295 - I need to see more Kanemoto. Some people really like him, others seem indifferent. #294 - Love this one! Been ten years though. #293 - Toyota vs Hokuto sounds like a dream match #292 - Toryumon Oh Lord I thought that was just something that plagues the 00s. #291 - Always wanted to see this match cant find it. #290 - Never seen Anjo should remedy that #289 - This sounds juicy and brutal. Ikeda vs Otsuka #288 - I was wondering how high you could go on this. I fucking loved this based on your review. Best Dudleys in ECW match ever. Really nice escalation, urgent and violent. Sucker for a flaming table. #287 - This Superbowl of Wrestling sounds like a good show #286 - This will probably one of the first Lucha matches I will watch. $285 - Don't remember if I have seen this one...hmmmmm #284 - I expected this to be higher, but actually seems about right. #283 - First of the Tenryu/Hashimoto matches from 93/94 cant remember which one I liked the most. Hope one makes the Top 100. #282 - Takada vs Fujiwara sounds excellent #281 - Would have went lower. Very ballyhooed but does not do much for me. Austin runs out of ideas mid-match. Great beginning and end, so-so middle I would see this more in the 400s. Definitely great, not that great. #280 - Need to see early Ogawa & Akiyama totally overlooked this. #279 - Liked the two Volk Han matches I saw need to make time for more #278 - Angel Azetca is a great name for a wrestler #277 - On paper seemed right up my alley, I don't want to call it boring, but lacked a spark to make it truly memorable. Again something that I would have in my 400s. I gave it **** and that sounds right. #276 - Dipping my toe in FMW waters, want to like Hayabusa because he looks cool but has not impressed

That was my number six match on the Best in Japan list, but without a doubt my favorite match. Kobashi in all his manly glory against Ogawa in all his zebra-print, Rat Boy dickishness. One of those matches that shows pro wrestling can transcend culture and place.

FMW World & Brass Knuckles Champion Mr. Gannosuke vs Hayabusa - FMW 4/30/98 I just met you and this is crazy...but I love Mr. Gannosuke! All-star performance by the bleach blond badass from Japan as he carries Hayabusa to a great match. I very seldom call a match a carry job, but Hayabusa just is not doing it for me, but luckily he has the magnificent Mr. Gannosuke in there with him. Hayabusa has literally zero fire and no panache, which is crazy to say because he is almost all high flying. His highspots just feel there for me. Good beginning of the match as Gannosuke makes Hayabusa pay for his high risk offense early. Hayabusa gets a quick dropkick to the knee. Hayabusa's leg work is solid, but it is Gannosuke's awesome committed sell of this leg work throughout the match that makes this work. All the way to his last nearfall on a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge, Gannosuke sells the leg by bridging on one leg. Gannosuke gets an armbar takedown when Hayabusa tries to take this uptempo and goes to work on the arm. He does a terrific job even though Hayabusa will blow it off, which is fine because it is the arm. Hayabusa uses a springboard dropkick to the knee as his transition, well done but the Asai Moonsault does not hit. Gannosuke tries to put him away but his knee keeps flaring up and this allows Hayabusa to hit some of the laziest superkicks you will ever see to transition to a nice dive to the outside. He does have a very pretty 450 splash that climaxes his first finish run. Gannosuke has a lot of trouble hitting any move because of his knee especially the Gannosuke Driver (I assume that's the name). He eventually catches these really slow kicks to hit a dragon leg screw and Gannosuke Driver. They blow something off the top rope badly so Gannosuke just starts selling the knee...smart man. HEY! A nice Hayabusa superkick and ballshot, wicked Tiger Suplex by Hayabusa! Falcon Arrow...boooooooo! Hayabusa wants the Phoenix Splash, but Gannosuke has too much life. Hayabusa tries something springboard and gets swatted out of the sky. Go Gannosuke Go! Gannosuke ballshot and powerbomb!!! 1-2-NO! Psychology seemed a little backwards there, but liked the symmetry though the ballshot should have been better respected. This is the point of the awesome Northern Lights sell. Hayabusa hits a NASTY headrop Dragon Suplex and then the very cool Phoenix Splash. Definitely the best of the finish stretches as it progressed very nicely and Gannosuke's selling added a lot and you could not tell who was going to win. I liked Hayabusa needing a little extra to get that Phoenix Splash. Gannosuke looked great here. Hayabusa was all over the place in this match and his lack of fire really brings the match down. Gannosuke's performance and strong dramatic finish stretch is enough to call this great. ****

Looks like Im the high vote on this match. I loved it! FMW World & Brass Knuckles Champion Masato Tanaka vs Mr. Gannosuke - FMW 1/6/98 If you ever played the original Doom, Masato Tanaka makes the same sounds as the demons being killed in this match. It is brutal! Never even heard of Mr. Gannosuke before this match and I think he may be my new favorite wrestler. He friggin' rocked it. I am a total sucker for bleach blonds too! First ten minutes was just awesome brawling and hard-hitting action. Totally wiped the floor with the Hayabusa match. They were just going to balls to the wall with stiff shots for each other. I loved the energy! Really liked the reverse atomic drop counter on the Tornado DDT attempt by Gannosuke. Tanaka's selling of it as a ballshot really made it. The crowd brawling was exceptional some of the best ever. Love a great chair throw! That powerbomb off the riser through a table below was insane! Then the violence of snapping that stick in half and then ripping open his arm. Masato Tanaka is unleashing some of the loudest cries of agony I have ever heard. Brutal! Tanaka's comeback is insanely fiery and glorious! I love him using that half of table to destroy Gannosuke and then using his elbows to set up Tornado DDT. The counter to the elbow into an armbar on the bad arm was sick! I will admit what does take the match down is that they go for an All Japan style finish run, which does not fit this style of match PLUS nobody really does that as well as the Pillars so trying to do their style is a losing proposition. Still there is plenty of heat, drama and powerbombs down the finish stretch. The finish is really damn good with Gannosuke countering by hooking the arm and then rolling through into a pinning combination to win the titles. Awesome brawling, great initial Tanaka comeback, solid finish stretch and great finish. Check this match out! There is hope for FMW and his name is Mr. Gannosuke! ****1/4

Hayabusa vs Masato Tanaka - FMW 3/13/98 Never seen a Hayabusa match or an FMW match. I recognize this is not the prototypical FMW Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match, but having seen a bunch of Masato Tanaka in ECW, thought it was a good as time as any to try to dip my toe in the FMW waters. I really want to like Hayabusa because I think he looks really fucking cool and I love the 450 splash. Pretty underwhelmed by this. This felt like the New Japan Juniors had a baby with the modern WWE style. The beginning 15 minutes or so was fine. Tanaka sold the arm really well when Hayabusa was working the arm. Tanaka worked the leg really well, loved those figure-4s on the kneecrusher before doing a really figure-4. It was rally cool seeing Tanaka wrestle in a non-Mike Awesome match. He looked really good doing pro wrestling. I thought the match was slow at times. Like the way they went through that chaining sequence was positively sluggish and the way Hayabusa threw himself into those corner bumps was pathetic. Still, they were off to a fine start and laid the ground work for any interesting finish stretch. If you JIP'd to the Tornado DDT, you would have never even known the first 15 minutes of the match existed! I hate when that happens. So now lets talk the modern WWE main event style. This would have been so over today. They would have gotten at least two "This is awesome!" chants. Lots of MOVEZ~!, no progression and lots of kickouts. Kickouts have taken the place of actual struggle in wrestling. I will say this is a bit better than modern WWE style because wrestlers did at least string a combination of moves together before switching to the opponent and there were real transitions so I will give them credit for that. When it becomes a match that is about the spots instead of the psychology well then your spots better be fucking cool. The Falcon Arrow just isn't cool. Three of them isn't better. Hayabusa has some impressive flips but there was just no sense of urgency. The 450 splash was by far the coolest move. Masato Tanaka did take some nasty head drops. It is a good match because there is enough good in here. There was just no sense of intra-segment struggle. When a wrestler was in control the other wrestler just played ragdoll for him. The good was the dueling limb work and selling was good. There were good spots at then and there was some drama with Tanaka's elbows. It was just a match about moves that forgot about energy, urgency and struggle. ***

ECW World Heavyweight Champion Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome - ECW 12/31/99 What the hell match was I thinking of? I swear there is a match or post-match where Mike Awesome Awesomebombs someone from the ring through a table that is by where the entrance ramp meets the ringside area. I have this memory seared into my brain and I could have sworn it was this match. Anyways my faulty memory aside, best match of the series. It finally did not feel like an exhibition. A lot of it had to do with Awesome coming out of the gate red hot steamrolling Masato Tanaka. Awesome was pissed and wanted the title back. That gave the match a sense of urgency on his part that was lacking. Also he felt like an unlikeable brute for the first time in this series. In doing so, this gave Masato Tanaka something to overcome increasing the struggle of the match and made him feel like an underdog. So better face/heel dynamics. Still very spotty, but the spots are always really good in this series now they have the heat to match. I really don't have much else to add. It is a lot of the same spots but down with more vim & vigor and better transitions. The finish is fucking mind-blowing! A sitout, REVERSE, SUPERBOMB~! Marked out huge! Great match! **** The post-match angle to set up the Guilty As Charged 2000 main event sees Spike's girlfriend give Judge Jeff Jones the Acid Drop only to be WIPED OUT by an Awesome Clothesline. She has worked internal bleeding ala Ken Shamrock. Horrible. Im just so glad man on woman violence has ended in pro wrestling. Just stupid.

Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino - ECW Living Dangerously 2000 ECW's presentation at this point was abysmal. "Quit being a heel" "Oh try to put the heat on me" Everything was a shoot and this horrible fucking Network angle. Before this match, Corino goes a tirade against Sandman's wife calling her a whore and saying that he was the only guy she hadn't put over. Then he manhandles her into the ring. His boys Rhino & Jack Victory are in the ring. Sandman saves, but Rhino GORES Sandman's wife through a table. He does not take it easy on her. Thank God wrestling has advanced beyond these horrible, tasteless man on woman violence angles. Corino calls himself the New American Dream and here comes the Real American Dream. Lots of slow crowd brawling. I will say there is lots of blood and they carve each other pretty good. It is 2000 so Dusty was not exactly in the best condition. I didn't think Corino did enough to carry this. The finish was good with a Bionic Elbow to the cowbell taped onto Corino's head. ECW sucked in 2000.

Lets take a look another 25 of the greatest matches of the 90s. Im falling behind! #350 - Just watched this in Colorado. Hard-hitting with heavy hands. Think this falls short of the 93-94 classics, but a great match. #349 - Never even heard of these guys! #348 - Loved Fujiwara in the 80s not seen anything besides that. #347 - Need see more of these Liger matches. #346 - Aja Kong vs Bull Nakano sounds impressive on paper #345 - LOVE THIS "MATCH"! Absolute great remake of the concession stand brawl. For my money, the better version. #344 - Got on twitter to say I prefer WCW match but I can see why people like these ECW matches #343 - Been ages since I seen this #342 - When I was doing my AJPW watching, never watched the Johnny Ace tags. Don't know why Im so JohnnyAce-phobic. #341 - Toyota vs Kong seems like a natural pairing #340 - I have been meaning to watch this match for ages. It sounds like a barnburner. #339 - Never saw the match that predated the Finals, will have to check it out. Doc was so good in 94 338 - 1995 Champions Carnival is the greatest tournament ever. The recent G-1 Climaxes don't come close. #337 - I need to see this. Sabu from 93-95 is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers. #336 - Bodies vs THUGS sounds great, SMW sounds so good on paper just have had trouble finding the stuff. Maybe with Network I can get to it. #335 - Loved their 6/00 match, which I thought was a top 40 match of the decade, can imagine their 99 match is pretty sick. #334 - Only seen their October 91 match, should check this out. #333 - This is an excellent hidden gem Charles found years ago. #332 - Dandy in 1990 is a wrestler I need to see. #331 - Such a great matchup historically, 2001 and 2004 too. Of course in April they have a MOTDC #330 - Joshi street fight #329 - I don't think I have seen this. A lot of All Japan Ive missed apparently #328 - Honma is quite the death match worker #327 - I wonder who rules the this lower portion more, M-Pro or Jeff Jarrett #326 - Early 90s Liger is something I really need to check out.

Lets wrap up 375-351 #375 - This Manami Toyota seems pretty good at this wrestling thing. #374 - I have seen a Bed of Nails Death Match before, I don't know about this one, Charles, I just don't know. #373 - I thought you were going to have this one higher. I need to see more NJPW heavies. #372 - Been ages since I watched this one. I need to do a complete AJPW 90s rewatch as a treat to myself. #371 - I have never seen a Dos Caras match #370 - I have never thought to watch this match! #369 - Dream match on paper, never seen it. #368 - Wicked bitchin bloody brawl, I'd have this one higher #367 - Takada vs Tamura sounds bitchin #366 - I have really liked Bigelow in 98, should revisit him. #365 - Love Bret vs Kid match, great another great example of Bret killing it in the face vs face match #364 - Forget women in Hell In A Cell, how about women in a barbed wire match! #363 - Midget Madness! #362 - Love this match, I think it is one of Bret's masterpieces. HIGHER! #361 - Maybe it was this Hase/Hash match I expected you to be way high on. #360 - Pretty damn high for this. Im with Parv, Kawada/Albright is great, but not exceptional. #359 - El Hijo Del Santo knows how to wrestle. #358 - Hansen/Kobashi greatest match up of all time #357 - Lioness Asuka has hands down the greatest pro wrestling name of all time #356 - Never seen this! I love Hash, but need to see more! #355 - Chono/Tenzan in UWFi sounds interesting. #354 - Kaientai in their natural habitat! #353 - Rey Mysterio Sr exists! #352 - AJPW 4/18/91 is a badass card #351 - Gracie-Hunter in worked matches is not something I have seen much of.

Duh! Why did I not think to look there!

Matt, you love context. You should watch Misawa/Taue vs Kobashi/Akiyama from 8/5/00, NOAH debut show that sets up the Kobashi vs Akiyama 8/6/00.

ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mike Awesome vs Spike Dudley - ECW Guilty As Charged 2000 As expected great David vs Goliath match. Thought Spike really gave an inspired performance both as ragdoll for Awesome to throw around and someone with a lot of fighting spirit. I loved how he threw himself into every spot whether it be a bump or offense. You felt he needed every a pound of body weight to contend with Awesome when he hurl his body at him or tackle him. Great use of chair as equalizer. Awesome as a Goliath offensively was great throwing Spike through tables at will, steamrolling him with clotheslines. I wish he was a better heel. Like a really despicable bully there are still to many times where he is trying to get himself over with his cool spots which detracts from that emotional impact of the match. Finish was great loved the Acid Drop counter through a table on the outside and nasty chair shot from top rope to floor. You actually kinda believe Spike has a chance. Goes for the Acid Drop but is FLYING THROUGH A TABLE!!! Great spot1 They give Spike one more hope spot before THE MOTHER OF ALL AWESOME BOMBS FROM THE TOP ROPE THROUGH A TABLE!!! I liked this better than any Tanaka stuff because Spike made for a lot better babyface still Awesome needed someone to teach him how to be a heel. ***3/4

I cant believe this match is not online. It was the only match of the series I had seen before. The Awesome Bomb from the ring through table is one of my all-time HOLY SHIT spots I was really looking forward to reliving it. Oh well!

Now you are all watching NOAH! Where were you two years ago!

ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka - ECW 12/17/99 I really enjoy these matches. No wasted motion, energetic fun spots. I finally figured out was missing lack of strong face/heel dynamics. Awesome is technically a heel but he does nothing heelish. It is a real harbinger if what's to come in pro wrestling. Great angle to set this up with Masato Tanaka in the front Row. Spike Dudley hits the Acid Drop on Judge Jeff Jones. Awesome takes umbrage with that and HURLS Little Spike from the ring into the crowd onto Tanaka!!!! HOLY SHIT! It's on! Paul E let's them fight for the title. I love how tight this is shot as this is a house show so no hard cam. All the same great spots at beginning. I like how setting up the table spots costs Awesome. He recovers enough to his a crazy Awesome bomb from Apron through a table on floor. New Years Eve in my memory is the best but this was pretty badass. Second table spot coats him dearly as he takes a German through a table and Tanaka begins his comeback. Then comes those brutal chair shots. The big turnaround and should have been the finish was the Tornado DDT into table by Tanaka great sell by Awesome. Roaring elbow and NEW CHAMP! Awesome puts belt on Tanaka not a heel! Compact action packed, slight alteration on their classic spots. Crazy to think Masato Tanaka was World Champ of the third biggest promotion at the height of US wrestling popularity these are all enjoyable quick contests. Great series ***1/2

Another batch of goodness!!! #400 - Joshi, guys #399 - That Doink run in 1993 was so much fun. So many great TV matches #398 - Loved the one Yamazaki and the couple Tamura matches I have seen are great. Them together would be badass. #397 - Definite must-see match for me from SMW. I really need to see SMW. #396 - Fucking love this match. Quintessential dueling limb psychology #395 - WOAH! Huge drop for this match. Expected this to be in top 200 from the initial rankings (top 20 in a loaded 1994) What happened? #394 - Hey it is Kobashi working a Hase match! Great mat wrestling vs power match, just a beautiful styles constrast working together. #393 - Never thought much of this match, which is a controversial opinion but have not seen it in like 6 years. 392 - Choshu vs Tenryu sounds excellent #391 - Muscle Storm is a great pro wrestling card Name. I need to watch more NJPW TAGS. #390 - "DUST-Y!" "DUST-Y!" "DUST-Y!" Great feel-good match. #389 - Woah, no way I have this one over Wargames '94. This is a great match and a quintessential Southern Tag, but Wargames should be way higher. #388 - After Santo/Rey Rey this will be next. #387 - Love this match, I would probably have it higher but is been six years. #386 - Best RVD match ever? I think Bam Bam Bigelow & Furnas may have something to say about this. #385 - Great Southern schticky match in WWF between HBK and Double J. Best Jarrett match ever? No way *****, SKeith, but a top WWF match of the 90s. #384 - Thunderous! Great popcorn six-man tag. Type of match that I would try to get as high as I can. #383 - Love the underdog Ogawa vs the rookie supernova Akiyama. Great action-packed sprint. #382 - Liger was able to be pushed as a major draw in NXT in 2015 because of THIS MATCH! That's so impressive. #381 - KAWADA FINALLY WINS! #380 - Such a badass series! Takada is a great pro wrestler. #379 - Never seen a Hase vs Sasaki match sounds like a good technique vs power match. #378 - I am really glad this made the list. Sometimes I feel like I am the only who loves this match. This is a classic to me. #377 - Love their 2001 classic in AJPW and 1996 in WAR, but need to see their 1999 NJPW match. #376- OH HELL YEAH! Steiners and Nasties just chuck each other around! Great choice!

ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka - ECW November 2 Remember 1999 ECW presentation and commentary is insufferable. Total ripoff of the garbage Russo was spewing in WCW. Fuck the term "powers that be" I thought match was really well-segmented. Each section had its purpose. There was no real selling or storytelling but the spots were fun and hit cleanly. Tanaka started off in control using chair. Nice Suplex by Awesome and some really well Awesome dives by Awesome. Don't hit Tanaka in the head with chairs it is how to power him up. Tanaka hits the Roaring Elbow into chair into the face that just seems like it would hurt your elbow so now we get the Tanaka finisher stretch tornado DDT on chairs. The crowd leads Tanaka by chanting one more time. Never repeat the move brutha. Awesome reverses so Tanaka ends up in chairs. Now it is working around table on outside. Thought this was the weakest version of that spot. Awesome's ass takes brunt of it and actually cuts himself so maybe the most painful. Then Tanaka gets a super plea through a table. One more round of Tanaka finishers. Awesome hits a wicked head drop German that just powers him up of course hey he's consistent! Awesome frog splash and wicked top rope Awesomebomb! Spots were Awesome! Very well-paced and efficient. Right on same level as Heat Wave 98. ***1/2

Kobashi's GHC is what makes or breaks him. If you don't like it you tend to lowball Kobashi. I love it and to me it is what cemented him number one over Flair. Not only does he have transcendent underdog babyface charisma we see become fully realized in amazing seizing of torch match against Misawa, the Destruction of Rat Boy and the Battle of Bulls in Takayama. For a sport that is scripted, very few careers ever go according to script but you couldn't have written a better career for Kobashi. You get to grow up with Kobashi and see his development all along unlike any other wrestler. It is that fullness and attachment that fosters through charisma that sets him a part as the greatest.

#425 - Underrated classic. The 4/18/91 Budokan card is a contender for an all time great card. #424 - Love this Misawa/Kawada match. Action-packed and fierce. #423 - This will definitely be one of the first Lucha matches I check out. #422 - Double J rules 400s #421 - Tenryu lives everywhere #420 - Watched this recently great exhibition of both men's talents #419 - A team with a woman named Kong, Bison and Grizzly sounds terrifying. #418 - I think I saw this and it was excellent; it will have to check again. #417 - Great brawling sprint. Love the belt shots. #416 - Need to rewatch this because always thought it was good not great. Love the middle finger psychology. #415- Really liked this as a big man vs little man match. #414 - Early Cactus is a mystery to me. #413 - Rockers do the impossible and get a great match out of Powers of Pain. Legitimately amazing. Best tag team ever. #412 - A Texas street fight in Japan? Love it! #411 - AJPW juniors is something I have never watched, I should to see more Fuchi, Kikuchi and early Ogawa. #410 - AWESOME MATCH! Action-packed sprint, not one moment of downtime.Perfect bully vs energetic babyface match. #409 - Flair vs Savage, my two favorites in a great match, but don't let this fool you, the true violent classic is the Great American Bash '95 match, which I think would make my top ten US matches of the 90s. Criminally underrated. #408 - Wrestlemarinepiad sounds like a great name for a card #407 - Dangerous Alliance 8-man such fun popcorn. #406 - Wish we had more Lawler in the 90s. #405 - This is the awesome Sting vs Cactus match. In the Beach Blast match, Cactus wrestles himself. Here he goes on offense. #404 - I never got this match. Need a rewatch. #403 - Have not seen this in ten years. It is Jumbo vs Kobashi, my #3 and #1 wrestlers of all time and I should do myself and favor and rewatch. #402 - Yes, Windham in that classic NWA World Champ vs young upstart role this time against Regal. Great shit. #401 - Flair as a face vs Eaton as a heel is the definition of fun pro wrestling. Highly recommended so many great bumps. Energy is awesome.
