  1. Only complaint with these mixtape compilations is that someone on the team needs to put chapters or time stamps in. I don't know if they think it's cool & lo-fi to just put them up as is but I think most people wanna skip around or at least see what's in a 2 hour video.
  2. Hello there! We're going to look back at 2002 Zero One Wrestling. This post we're going to be looking at Kodo Fuyuki's post FMW league, WEW, and matches featuring Zero One wrestlers. So it's a WEW post about Zero One wrestlers, make sense? Shinya Hashimoto & Shinjiro Otani vs Atsushi Onita & Great Sasuke (05/05/02 WEW) - An absolute spectacle. You have to know that with Onita going into this. That is what he does. That said, he does a remarkable amount of straight pro wrestling or for him at least. Sasuke is here to fly and get beat up. Otani was really good holding much of the match together (on offense and defense). Hashimoto is the destroyer of worlds. He doesn't hold back. Sasuke crumpled under the onslaught. You might think, "oh he'll take it easy with old man Onita." No. No he doesn't. He downward chops that raspy bastards neck all the same. Fuck Onita for being a selfish person (and a skeezy one)...Hashimoto is the avatar of vengeance. You will enjoy watching Hash blast Onita with chops & kicks. But in the end, remember Onita never loses. He brings it back to himself... Onita theatre & spectacle is what it's all about. And if he's a heel then this is what he's going to do. And as selfish as he is, he's the best at creating a spectacle. Do I wish we got another independent wrestler like Shinzaki to pair with Sasuke? Yeah, we might have gotten a great match. Onita gives you a moment to remember though. I don't like him but he's good at what he does. Ikuto Hidaka & Tomohiro Ishii vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO (09/14/02 WEW) - By gawd they're going wild! Under 10 minute sprint. Surprisingly Hidaka is the one with execution issues but, it's a short match more about the energy than anything else. That said this was a ton of FUN 😀 Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO are such a good junior team. Ishii was just mauling them but they were busting out movez when they could. This was a good time. I Otani, M. Tanaka & K Wagyuta vs T. Kuroda, TAKA & G. Goshogawara (10/23/02 WEW) - The Otani vs TAKA part at the beginning is pretty salty...yes! Otani is Tenryu-like in his stiffness and non-cooperation all match actually. Gosaku gets the worst of it and even I'm rooting for him! Otani power bombs him pretty viciously and he gets loopy. Wagyuta tries his best but this little bit was spotty. Fortunately TAKA & Kuroda knew what was up and got him out of there & got it back on track. Very good match! TAKA & Kuroda vs Otani & Wagyuta (11/04/02) - Sort of a rematch. Unfortunately, they cut half of it out but was was shown was really good action. Wagyuta is growing on me. He's a good beefy toadie for Otani. He & Kuroda's lariat battle was sweet! TAKA really showed everyone up here. Perfect quebrada and lit Otani's skull up with kicks. I really wanted the whole thing. LIKED what was shown Kintaro (W*ing) Kanemura vs Masato Tanaka (WEW 11/04/02) - FMW lives on! This was a mix of the old style FMW garbage wrestling along with the athletic style. Here they used tables, chairs, the lighting rig and a flaming barb wire bat. That shit was dangerous! Tanaka went for it one last time. Fans of ECW, FMW, BJW and all the rest really will want to see this. It's a great death match. Plenty of holy shit moments along with great pro wrestling. LOVED IT "Umm guys...how long am I supposed to hold this!?" This was a fun post. I was able to see WEW finally. I was curious about the post FMW promotions and this post made it a "two birds with one stone" scenario. There's not a ton of Zero One Max online from this time period. I will probably have to employ this method as I go. It's cool though. It's definitely widening my scope of smaller Japanese promotions at the time. Thanks for reading!!!
  3. For posterity & to help folks who might wanna check out Mid South Wrestling. I just went through 1985 and covered it in some depth over on my blog. I don't want to put like 5 blog posts worth of stuff here but 1985 Mid South is a damn goldmine. With the TV episodes I tried to hit the high points and stick to certain wrestlers. I tried getting quality DiBiase, Butch Reed, big name tag teams et al. in there. I had to scan through each episode of 1985 and find them & add em to my watch list 😋 That took some time. I know that there was stuff I could have watched but didn't have the time & energy to keep the project sustainable. Anyhow, my recommended matches from TV are: Guerreros vs Rock'n'roll Express (02/14 ep.#284) Terry Taylor vs. Jake Roberts (03/07) (ep. 287) Also remember that DiBiase vs Duggan is happening during this period of 1985. Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams vs The Fantastics (06/13 ep.#301) Dutch Mantell vs Terry Taylor (07/11 ep.#305) Butch Reed vs Ted DiBiase (07/25 ep.#307) The Fantastics vs Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams (09/26 ep.# 316) Fantastics vs Dick Slater & Buzz Sawyer (10/24 ep.#320) match & post-match Ric Flair vs Butch Reed (11/07 ep.#322) Ric Flair vs. Ted DiBiase (11/14 ep. #323) Absolutely recommend anyone interested to check these out. I'm skipping over a lot of what I watched but these would be essentials in my book.

    I hadn't heard of it either but looks like it was QAnon stuff. He was really, really good in ROH's Pure Title Tournament.

  6. WCW YouTube posted the triangle match with Guardian Angel, Sting & Vader recently: For new reviews from me, check out The Further Adventures of Puro + More.
  7. Going through New Japan'95 and came across 09.23 Lord Steven Regal vs. Wild Pegasus (NJPW G1 Climax Special 1995) - This was tremendous. The first part was Regal's style. This was flawless and could have been done in NJ or AJ 1975-80. Eventually Benoit found and opening and it became his high octane style. Neither man was completely out of their element though. Eventually Regal was bleeding from his ear. This elevated the perception of true violence. The finish seemed imperfect at first but then made sense to me and was fitting given what had proceeded it. Near classic match and every bit as good as I had hoped for! It's been awhile since I saw their Nitro matches but this New Japan match seemed like the template for those. Definitely recommend this one.
  8. Hello fellow wrestling fans! We're back for the final installment of Mid South Wrestling for 1985. It's been a helluva project! Definitely check out the previous entries or my entries on G. Badger Puro + More for pre '85 Mid South. Without further ado, let's go! November & December 1985 Ric Flair vs Butch Reed (11/07 ep.#322) Al Perez was a big deal in MS at the time...holding tag titles for a good deal of '85 with Wendell Cooley but I thought I would include this match as a nod to how hard MS was pushing Perez. But Reed takes his place. This is a great segment that ties in with the Slater confrontation last week. And we get a fun TV main event and wild post match - this is a helluva segment!!! So now both Hacksaw Reed and Duggan are united against Dick Slater, Buzz Sawyer & Ric Flair. Hacksaw Duggan vs. Buzz Sawyer (11/11) - WOW! This the is violence we've been missing. Blood soaked bedlam. These guys just beat the crap out of each other. There's not a difference between the match and the "post match." This is pay back for Buzz destroying Duggan's lady...and it seemed real. THIS is the Jim Duggan you've been wondering about. He drops 2-3 f-bombs, swearing, screaming and sweating. He's like a barbarian out there. Buzz is no push over but good gravy Duggan is looking for a homicide tonight. If you don't think so, they're fighting in the bowels of the auditorium like it's 1999 Raw is War but this shit feels real. Classic brawl...more of this please! *Ric Flair vs. Ted DiBiase (11/14 ep. #323 (DVDVR #3)) - Tremendous, tremendous TV segment here. The match itself is a gutsy, bloody affair but this whole segment is classic. Before the match, Dick Murdoch complains to Flair (during an interview) that the shot at the belt should be his. It should be Butch's because of last week's match but Reed can't compete because Slater as Flair's henchman injured him. Murdoch who was right up there with Reed in the North American title pack thinks he's next in line not DiBiase. Now Dick brought Ted into wrestling appeals to him to step back and give up his spot. Ted knows this is his time and refuses Dick. That goes real well...and Ted bleeding more than that knight in Monty Python. They're going to call the match...DiBiase is in the back and he doesn't wanna forfeit. That's just the lead in to the match! And if you're following along Ted has been THE heel but dammit they turn him baby face on a dime! This is #3 in the DVDVR Best of Mid South. I don't think it's the best match but it might just be the best segment and if you watch the TV episode (instead of just the WWE dvd) you see they've got EMT's working him post match. This is Onita levels of wrestling theatre. Ric Flair vs. Jake Roberts (11/24/1985 (DVDVR #14))- Whoa! Mid South is on a roll! Obviously Flair is giving these guys great competition and they can show us their talent. A truly unique start to this match. Great heat and once Flair is ready to start, you know the end is one DDT away! I just thought this had great pacing and tons of nice little unexpected moments as well as moments you wish would happen coming true! You can tell that these two think about what they are doing in the ring. They tell micro stories each segment and weave them together to tell the larger tale of the match. The VQ of what I saw was pretty iffy but this would have been a no-brainer to include on the WWE DVD if they had the masters. DVDVR #14... I could go with that. Near classic match at the very least. Jake the Snake fans wanna see this one! RECOMMEND THIS ONE Jake the Snake vs Lord Humongous (11/29/85 (#126)) - Cage match in Houston. Jake's got his own hockey mask! He's been complaining to have Humungus remove his so, he's gonna fight fire with fire. This is a great match & doesn't need a back story. These two are fighting in the cage. Jake eventually trades the hockey mask for the crimson mask. He looks in trouble. Humongous is going to use the Snake's cowboy boot against him but Jake ain't having that shit! He gets back in the fight! Things get wilder from there. Great finish that would work in wrestling for the next 15 years. ----- Hacksaw Duggan vs. Buzz Sawyer (Dog Collar 12/27/85)- Really good fight especially once Jim starts bleeding. It doesn't hold a candle to the 11/11 battle though. In fact, watch this first then watch the 11/11 match...I think you will get more out of it that way. Jim Duggan vs. Dick Slater (12/31) - Oh wow! They brought Duggan's chick back from the shadow realm...with super blown out 80's hair & leather pants! This was a fun match. Nothing too complicated, Duggan probably got in more offense than I would have liked but it's a good time 🙂 Butch Reed vs Buzz Sawyer (Dog Collar 12/31/85 (#36)) - This is actually in the Mid South territory where the Duggan dog collar match is in Houston. That's my guess why they would run these less than a week apart. Still very good stuff that's not very long but is better than the Duggan one. It was more back & forth. There's more athleticism. Plus we get post match! So a great segment overall! Ted Dibiase vs Dick Murdoch (12/31/85 (#15)) This is a follow-up to the events of the Flair match above essentially. A good punch, stomp & bleed match. They conveyed their animosity without going overboard. Nothing to go gaga over either in my opinion. Just good meat & potatoes brawling but I felt the pace was too deliberate as time went on. It got voted #15 in the DVDVR results but I can't endorse it that strongly. I think it was another very good match with a great finish. The 12/31 show had some exciting wrestling (if a bit similar). This was a great project! I definitely got out of my puro watching here. I think it translates well especially if you're looking at All Japan or New Japan of the 1980's. I think that's my bridge into Mid South - Ted DiBiase, Buzz Sawyer, Dick Slater, The Fantastics and so on. They definitely brought a style here that translates well to Japan. I think I will check out Dr. Death vs Terry Gordy in '86 when it becomes UWF. That rivalry seems like a no-brainer for late 80's-early 90's All Japan fans like myself. One other thing to mention is that I didn't watch a lot of other quality stuff from Mid South TV. So if this wrestling is your thing then, you want to dig into those episodes online. I think you can purchase the DVDs as well. We'll be moving back to New Japan, UWFI & RINGS and Zero One Wrestling in the next few weeks. Stick around! Thanks for reading 🙂
  9. Heard good stuff about this match. ROH posted on YouTube. Wanted to share it here:
  10. Looking back at past wrestlers, I think it's worth giving weight to folks that were wrestling a style out of touch with their era as long as it was innovative, influential or at least popular or drew heat. In watching Regal in WCW 1994 recently, no one was really wrestling his style there. He had a really great list of older opponents like Flair, Arn, Larry Z that could gel with him but his style was definitely out of step with what everyone else was doing. It meshed well and it was his thing. And he was TV champion and got tons of heat. So he was doing something right for the audience, the office and the wrestling nerds 🙂 I don't think he was innovative but was influential to guys like Bryan Danielson and I'm sure other grapples of the 2000's & 2010's. I think you're probably talking more about folks wrestling a throwback style so maybe innovation isn't as important in this context. As far as golden era Joshi, I think this was influential and innovative to all of wrestling in Japan and eventually the US... At least in terms of work rate & move evolution. That's a good example for innovative wrestlers so for those folks- we have to see who did those things the most. And then were those folks some kind of draw and not just wrestling in an empty gym. All that said, they still have to put on compelling, meaningful and/or exciting matches on a regular basis 🙂 And that's kinda how I'm formulating a lot of my list tbh. Hahaha long answer but I think I'm giving a lot of weight to folks who wrestle outside the norm. I think these folks are just more interesting. That doesn't mean they'll all be at the top of my list but it will definitely be a tie breaker or a difference maker when it comes to the top 50.
  11. Yuki Ishikawa is a big fan of Inoki and has patterned his career after him. So he usually comes to the ring with the jacket & towel and wears the black trunks & boots. Tatsumi Fujinami does this as well so I kind of look at Yuki Ishikawa as a continuation of that wrestling lineage. He trained under Gotch, Fujiwara & Boris Malenko so he's got the bona fides to back it up.
  12. Hello folks! Let's keep taking a look at Mid South Wrestling in 1985. September & October 1985 Dr Death vs Dick Murdoch (09/19 ep.#315) - This was shaping up to be a very good match. Bob Sweetan (who is teaming with Williams while DiBiase is in Japan I think) gets involved. He hits Butch Reed who's also at ring side. Sweetan & Doc start beating up Murdoch. Reed comes into help but no good deed goes unpunished. Murdoch thinks Butch attacked him. And that sets up the next big feud! Butch Reed vs Dick Murdoch (09/22/85 DVDVR#6)- I'm an old man & this is a long match. And I occasionally will watch a long match if I'm not aware of it going into it. Well I'm aware of it so I watched this in chunks. And I thought this was a classic bout! They were working the whole time. Both guys were fighting while on defense. Everything looked snug. Both Butch & Dick were excellent in selling the pain & exhaustion. It was pretty organic and felt like competition. I don't think it needed to be as long as it was (not an hour draw thankfully fyi). It is over 45 minutes though. I think something around 30 would have been perfect. That's a preference though 🙂 Post match is great & kinda why I think match time around 30 + the post match would have absolutely ideal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED The Fantastics vs. Dutch Mantell & Bill Dundee (9/22/85 Oklahoma City) - A great match for sure! Dutch and Sir William assault the Fantastics as they're getting hugs & kisses from the women. It's a well structured match. There's a good internal story with the ref being unable to keep up with the action. It's a lil annoying but there's a payoff. And the finish is what catapults this into being a great tag match. All four guys worked their butts off. Awesome post match too!! The Fantastics vs Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams (09/26 ep.# 316) - All action tag match with no down time at all. Really fun match. A little rough around the edges but totally acceptable for a 1985 TV match. Dr Death maybe does the first Dangerous Backdrop on Bobby Fulton...its on accident as I think Fulton meant to flip over & land on his feet but landed on his head instead. It works though because Dr. Death was doing a move..Confused? I guess you'll just have to watch this one 🙂 The Fantastics vs. Dutch Mantell & Bill Dundee (10/03 ep.#317) Being old school TV, this probably was taped prior to the above match in OKC. But maybe not? This is a bull whip on a pole match. This is mayhem! Yes! The match and post match are one in the same. This was a trip! Fun, fun stuff! Butch Reed vs Flair (10/11/85 #51 DVDVR) - Now this is more my speed. You young whippersnappers can watch the time limit matches. I will take this 20 minute match. It's a wonderful "keep it simple/Flair working from underneath" match. We get to see all kinds of work from both guys. I think it avoids most of the Flair tropes/cliches...or at least tackles them in a way that's interesting. I felt this was a classic bout with the last few minutes pushing it up on that "classic match" pedestal. I, along with the fans, would have preferred a different finish but it definitely works. And the match as a whole delivers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Butch Reed vs Dick Murdoch (10/14/85 DVDVR #11)- Great match! It took awhile to get going though. Reed working the arm didn't set my world on fire. They make it interesting as time goes on and this gets good. Dick works over Butch's knee. In response, Reed goes back to Murdoch's arm. And boy are they hurting! Excellent selling again, excellent sense of competition & intensity. The finish is a bit cheeky but it's absolutely something you'd still see on TV today (I bet) so there's no problem there. Tommy Rogers vs Dick Slater (10/17 ep.#319) - Lots of great moves here especially from Slater. This one is fun. Also shows that the Fantastics are greater than the sum of their parts. Fantastics vs Dick Slater & Buzz Sawyer (10/24 ep.#320) - Dark Journey is a great 80's comic book hero name. She's cool & makes Mid South a little hip. She actually reminds you that MTV and a world outside of the Mid South territory exists. It's not all cowboy boots & ZZ Top 😄 Anyhow, back to wrestling - Vicious back breaker from Buzz! Fun stuff but they're too tough for the Fantastics BUT we're not done...Hacksaw Duggan comes out with his wife/girlfriend for his scheduled match. Then decides to shit talks Dark Journey and Slater. They're in the ring now and they're fighting... Sawyer comes back out to help. In a complete moment of insanity, Duggan's chick tries to help her dude. Sawyer ain't going for it and removes her ass from this plane existence!!! Hacksaw ain't doing too great himself. You gotta see this! ----- Jake Roberts vs Dutch Mantell (10/24 ep.#320) - This is actually before the above match/segment but I thought it would flow better to put in in this order. Good promo from Jake talking about facing Lord Humongous and getting him to remove the hockey mask. The Mad Max movies huge at this time and this is probably the most direct copy of the character(s). Thunder Dome came out in the summer of '85 - two men enter! one man leaves! So Jake is feuding with him. But this match with he & Dutch was a lot of fun. Can Jake catch Dutch in the DDT? Jake the Snake vs Lord Humongous (Tulsa Convention Center 10/27/85)- The lord is managed by Oliver Humperdink. This is a lot of fun. It's Jake trying to chip away at the monster and avoid his grasp. Meanwhile, Humperdink is causing chaos on the outside. Butch Reed vs Dutch Mantell (10/31 ep.#321) - Fun match where Dutch ambushes Butch. Reed can't be stopped. Fun bit of wrestling but it sets up Butch vs Dick Slater. Reed shit talks Dark Journey & she slaps him (rightfully so) but Slater is a shit heel hiding behind his girlfriend. Still, we get to hear some stuff that Reed says that is pretty sketchy regarding race & gender roles etc. 😬 The fans seem to enjoy it and this definitely 1985 Mid South! This batch of wrestling is phenomenal! Honestly, if you just wanted to jump in here and watch these fall matches, you'll be loving it. Seriously, if you want to dip your toe into the Mid South pool, September and October '85 would be the time to do it. Thanks for reading!
  13. Greetings true believers! We're talking about more Mid South wrestling from 40 years ago! This is great stuff so, let's dive in! July & August 1985 Ted DiBiase vs Terry Taylor (07/04 ep.#304) 1st match on episode, impromptu match...DiBiase legit slaps Taylor in the mouth!! Hahaha oh shoot 😄 We get a real spirited back & forth match and we get a winner too. Dutch Mantell vs Terry Taylor (07/11 ep.#305) 1st match on the episode. Way to open the show...they know what they're doing! Pretty Boy Taylor vs Dirty Dutch. This was a very good bout for the TV title. These guys really gelled. I could have watched another 3-4 minutes of what these two were doing. Dug the finish too! Jake the Snake vs Ted DiBiase 07/28/85 #42 - wrestle fest '85 - Oh yeah, this was great. Jake is going for the DDT early to end this but Ted keeps slipping out. Eventually the dastardly DiBiase takes over and makes Roberts pay. Just timeless stuff here. Excellent pacing and what a finish even when you think it might go sour. Two of my favorite heels from my childhood. ----- Butch Reed vs Dutch Mantell (07/28/85 Wrestlefest '85) - Tough act to follow Jake & Ted. This was still a fun match but there wasn't anything too memorable. Hector & Chavo Guerrero vs. Ted DiBiase & Dr. Death Steve Williams (1985/07/26) - I like that this starts with Ted jaw jacking with a fan. Like c'mon dude...who would win a fight? You or the big dude in the steel cage & the championship belt? Anyhow Ted & Dr. Death... such a badass team. Hector has bleached blonde hair! The Bros. dominate early on but here comes the beating...this was very good stuff! Not fancy but super entertaining! Too bad about the finish but it keeps their heat! I am pissed 40 years later 😄 Butch Reed vs Ted DiBiase (07/25 ep.#307) 2nd match on this episode looks like Reed vs Tom Prichard but Ted comes out...Impromptu match! This would be a main event normally and damn! they wrestle this like a TV main event. Two greats put on a show. I loved this! Excellent pacing, teases, the outcome was always in doubt - Great match! Butch Reed vs Dutch Mantell (08/01 ep.#308) - The rematch from Wrestlefest sorta - instead we get a fantastic segment where Mantell is looking to hurt Butch and collect some $$ from Ric Flair. So Dutch jumps Reed with his whip and Chaos ensues!!! It's a couple minutes but is so much more memorable than their match! Butch Reed vs Ric Flair (08/09/85 #24) - It's a long match and am hesitant about watching another long Flair match. I want to mention this in case you're interested but, I'm not watching it. They have more matches coming up... Jim Duggan vs One Man Gang (08/29 ep.#312) - Hacksaw Duggan has been feuding with Skandor Akbar and Kimala after the battle with DiBiase ended earlier in 1985 (see my blog post on that). I'm not interested in this feud & Duggan goes onto better stuff in a couple months but I wanted to represent him. He's still active in Mid South. One Man Gang seems like a good opponent for him 😋 O.M.G has been hired solely to hurt our hero. The match itself is OK but the post match is what you want! A chain gets involved and things get interesting! Butch Reed has been a great "new" wrestler for me. I'm so glad I finally got to see his work. And Ted DiBiase is definitely the front runner for my 2025 Best Wrestler Watched. More Mid South to come! Thanks for reading folks!!!
  14. Da Vault posted/streamed this a little bit ago:
  15. Thanks for reading folks! This is part #2 of Mid South Wrestling from 1985! April thru June 1985 The Fantastics (Fulton/Rogers) vs. The Dirty White Boys (4/14/85 Convention Center, Tulsa) - This was a great face/heel tag match. Excellent selling from the Rogers, the Dirty White Boys have a great clubbing style, great finish too. They really hooked me with this one! Terry Taylor vs Chris Adams (1985-05-26 - Convention Center, Tulsa, OK) - This was a good match but felt a little bland for some reason. I appreciated Adams' British moves here & there plus his awesome super kick. I think Terry Taylor was just too vanilla in this match. And Taylor's appeal is that he is a cookie cutter baby face but he's got to be in there with a heel who's got character like Ted or Jake. Watching WCW '94, I think Steven Regal would be a good opponent for Terry Taylor. *The Snowman vs. Jake Roberts (06/01/85) - There looks to be plenty of other Jake matches they could have included that were better but Muhammad Ali was involved. Nevertheless it was a spectacle with Ali, John "Barbarian" Nord. It's weird that this was the only Jake content they included on the WWE Mid South DVD but Jake was still in pretty bad shape when this was released so maybe they didn't want to over promote him?? *Ric Flair vs. Terry Taylor (06/01/85) (DVDVR#16) - This was a classic match! I really dug Terry's fire in this match. Flair truly brought out the best in him. He looked like a gutsy, never say die baby face here...trading shots with Flair. Whew, there's a real intensity here. Taylor is really representing Mid South style. It's a Flair title match so you know some of what to expect but in the same breath there's a lot that's unexpected. He had so many tricks up his sleeve and knew when use them. And this was perfectly paced too... Honestly, it might be an all time classic. It just did everything right and was a treat to watch at 30+ minutes... and I don't say that much anymore. MUST SEE ----- Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams vs The Fantastics (06/13 ep.#301) - Badass 10 minute TV match! Bell to bell action that honestly could have taken place in an AJPW ring in '85. This had a great in ring story of Rogers & Fulton needing to use speed & technique to overcome the strength advantage of Williams and DiBiase. I could give it more praise but I'll just say it's a very good match. The Fantastics vs The Dirty White Boys - 6/30/85 - Really fun stuff! Begins with The Fantastics shining and a bit of comedy. Eventually the DWBs get to clubbering & body slamming. Simple tag team wrestling done right! Lots to love with this stuff! More to come next post. Be sure to check out a match or two in the meantime 🙂
