The show Workaholics is littered with wrestling references. They even have a full episode dedicated to getting a TV to watch Wrestlemania. A costume party where 2 characters come as Jimmy Hart and Captain Lou. They also have a wrestling poster in one of their rooms. Will Ferrell's character on East Bound and Down is based entirely off of Ric Flair. From his look to even saying "Woo!"

So, I watched the 3 matches I said I was going to earlier. Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr vs. The Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher (9/19/78) - This was fantastic. I try not to give star ratings because I find that I'm too strict on matches, but this would be a 4+ star match. The Funker was really the star of this one. When he starting screaming at Abdullah, i was going nuts. Absolutely superb match. Pierroth Jr vs. Mogur (1/12/90) - I wasn't a fan of this one. It was smushed in-between 2 matches absolutely dripping with passion, and this one seemed to lack it. Seemed like the guys we're sleep walking through the match. GIVE ME SOME INTENSITY. Steve Veidor vs. Gwyn Davies (5/26/76) - This one, to put it mildly, was mind blowing. This is no hyperbole when I say that it is one of the best matches I've ever seen. It did David v Goliath WAY better than the actual David v Goliath. As amazing as Veidor was, Davies is the star of this one for me. HIs "You really think you have a chance you little shit?" attitude mixed with his actions that said "This little shit really has a chance" was psychology at it's peak. Literally, from the first 2 times they touch, they set the blueprint for how the match was gonna go. Davies is the overpowering brute. It's obvious why he's held the tittle for so long. Veidor is the smaller, more agile and craftier wrestler who wants the belt so god damn badly that he's willing to get absolutely dismantled to win it. What an amazing match.

As someone new to the forum, this is the absolute perfect thread. I pretty much joined because I want to watch good wrestling that I've never seen. So, with the GWE Poll starting up again, I figured this is the place to be. Out of the matches listed, I think I'm going to watch these matches right off the bat. I'm not familiar at all with the any of the wrestlers in the Lucha or British Wrestling matches. At least, not any of their work.
