    Hey puro nerds, I have two conflicting dates for this match. 6/1 or 6/15. Don't use my Naylor comp or Liger set as a reference. Thanks! Jushin Liger & El Samurai & Shinjiro Otani & Tokimitsu Ishizawa vs. The Great Sasuke & TAKA Michinoku & SATO & Shiryu

    Still on the Flair kick, I want to respond wiith a couple of observations... Flair didn't get the shit beat out of him in the August 1982 match. Kerry got the shine in the first fall and established he was on the champ's level but the 2nd and 3rd falls displayed a war between two guys. Also, the cage match wasn't about Flair at all... he took a back seat to the silly referee business. If anything, the referee bullshit was more important than anything else happening in the ring. Oh, just watched Slamboree 94 for the yearbook and Flair beat Windham clean with a cross body off the top... just saying.

    He won the title back from Dusty Rhodes in 1986 using the Figure-4. Anyway, Loss and I were talking today and I feel the need to clarify something that was brought up. I believe Ric Flair when he siad he wanted to get his shit in and make sure the fans saw his shit. I am not disputing that. I am disuputing the idea that as a fan, it always felt like Flair was getting his shit in. It didn't, at least not to me. Look at the 80s sets. Most of the matches so far are Flair and the local hero going toe to toe. They aren't simply "Flair being a bitch who saves at the end. Many times, the local hero fucks up and Flair exploits the mistake going on the attack. Opportunist. Pretty smart work most of the time and the last wrestler I would label as a dumb weak bitch.

    John, if you were bringing in guys, play fantasy booker and tell us who you would have brought in. I agree with everything you said here but I want to know who else besides Vader (who you already mentioned) would have been the right fit.

    I wish Eric and Phil were still interested in doing the B sides project because we discovered the awesome Eaton-Malenko match from 1997 in those and it wouldn't surprise me if Eaton had more B-side gems hidden somewhere.

    What I want is an ECW fan to come in here and defend liking this... EVER. I put it on the extras section of the ECW set also but it feels like it is something that takes up space.

    I love the Hart-Lawler feud and had no problem putting this on the set. The gimmick is cheesy but these guys work great together. Much like Regal-Anderson, which was panned by Meltz, this probably deserves a re-evaluation.

    Well shit... ooops

    I love these things and there is a Knoxville tribute on the Night of Legends show I am going to try and get on the 1994 yearbook, at least in edited form. After watching Memphis Heat, I wish Billy Wicks was featured more.

    I know Loss has a ton of footage to cover but he is really underselling how shameless this era was in the WWF. Every friggin week was a commercial on how much the WWF cares.

    After working on the ECW set and being underwhelmed by RVD, I saw this on the 1995 list and was ready to cut it before I even started doing transfers. I was talking to Loss and he insisted this had to stay on so I transferred the match and began watching it out of the corner of my eye. About 3 minutes into it, I stopped working on all other projects and waatched the match. The next time Loss and I talked, I was the one who was adament about its inclusion.

    Wait, so Hogan was burying the other faces?
  13. goodhelmet
    That's reasonable.

    Unless OJ wants to correct me, I can agree with his assessment also but nowhere in there did he call him a dumb, weak bitch. Besides jdw and Jerome, did anyone else watching wrestling in the 80s ever think of Ric Flair as a dumb weak bitch?

    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 What year?

    And I never looked at Flair as a dumb bitch... he always carried himself as the smartest and best wrestler, specifically in his prime (even if you want to argue he wasn't). Plus, it isn't what you think of Flair but trying to make sense of why Flair would go to the top every match... because he won a fucking world title with the move and has never lost directly after taking the bump when it fails. The Flair Flop feels more like something that you can be critical of because it isn't a spot he does really well (Greg Valentine was awesome at the flop) or always fit into the match.

    Like I said before, if it hits, game over. If it doesn't, it isn't like Flair is a goner. It has all upside and little downside.

    Well he did win a World title one of the few times it worked, and getting caught never caused him to directly lose. I'm aware of him making it work... though that famous win was due to the ref tripping Race. But you're making a sports analogy that would be this: I once had a hail mary TD that won a game. In my next 100 starts, at the 7:30 mark of each 2nd quarter (our as close as I can get to it with possession of the ball), I'll toss a Hail Mary to "test" the defense. So even if I throw 95 INTS, it's "worth it" due to the 5 times I'll connect for a TD. That's kind of... A Dumb Fuck QB. Which is what I think we'd all agree if we analyzed Heel Champion Wrestler Ric Flair at any depth. Dumb, Weak and/or a Bitch in most of what he did. John Leave Favre/Romo out of this i disagree with John's dumb weak bitch analysis of Flair. He won the world title with the move (twice?) and at that point, the body press is a game ender, not a 2nd quarter play. If Flair hits it, then the game is done. If he gets caught, he has the stamina, strength, skill, etc. to keep wrestling. That's also the difference between Favre and Romo... one is a world champion and one is not. One is the game-ender and the other one is the dumb, weak bitch. As a Packers fan, I prefer Rogers because he doesn't break your heart at the end of the game the way Favre does. However, it doesn't mean I wasn't celebrating in 1997 when Favre won the Super Bowl.

    From the territory wrestlers, I know Foley said he and Hildebrand were big tape collectors. Also, I think there has to be a differenc ewhen it comes to age. Territory guys were always jumping from one place to the next and technology wasn't up to speed so it had to be difficult to collect tapes and study "the game", Buddy Rose and Jim Cornette exempt of course. If you look at guys 35 and younger, I am pretty sure they are avid collectors, or at the very least, watch matches when the opportunity presents itself. When I have been able to get wrestler comps to the older guys, the reaction is always the same... "thanks, I had no footage of my career." With the younger guys, the question is always the same... "Do you have footage of OLD WRESTLER X?"

    Pro Wrestling ONLY motherfuckers.

    That's funny because I am the exact opposite. The more wrestling I watch, the less of Brisco and Dory I want to see.

    The first name that came to mind was Undertaker. I understand that the opponent has something to do with it but he can be on the best match and worst match of back to back PPVs with ease.
