    I finally got around to the Cesaro vs Zayn 2/3 falls NXT match that people have been raving about. It's a good match, but the hype is overblown. The finish is sick with Cesaro muscling him up and fucking launching him into the air for the uppercut.

    I've always considered "go-go-go" to be a style where the only concern amongst the wrestlers is to kick out whatever bombs and big spots they have, without any regard for telling a story or making the moves really seem to matter at all. Like Will and others already mentioned, Angle at his worst, Kobashi at his worst, Davey Richards, etc. I remember a few years back, when a friend of mine stumbled onto Dragon Gate, and thought they were the greatest matches he'd ever seen. And when I wasn't impressed, he just thought I was being an ass. Well, about six months later, after seeing that every one of those "amazing" trios matches is worked more or less the same way, he understood why I wasn't so high on them.

    I tell my wife the same thing when she asks when he's going to die. When the bomb drops, all that's going to be left are the cockroaches and Ric Flair.

    A motivated Mutoh could easily be amongst the best in the world, see his two matches with Hashimoto from May and August of '95. But, there were many (many many) times he just didn't seem to feel like working, such as the infamous Takada match from October of '95, or even as recent as his overhyped mess with Jun Akiyama from All Japan last year.

    In the Brian Christopher shoot, RF asks him about his brother cutting shoot promos in ECW, and Brian didn't know anything about it. Does anyone here have any idea what he's talking about. The only time I can ever recall seeing Kevin Christian, was during the whole Rich/Gilbert funeral angle on Power Pro, that led to the famous Doug Gilbert promo.

    I'm officially halfway through the set, I just finished June. It's been such a fun ride, reliving all the angles and feuds that were intrinsic to my childhood. I was talking about this set with a friend and he perked right up when I mentioned the whole Flair/Savage/Liz angle, and the Warrior/Shango mess. It's even better getting to watch the USWA and SMW stuff, since I didn't have those shows available in NY. As much as I've loved the Moondogs ordeal, I think that the Eddie Gilbert promos have topped it for my favorite thing in the first half of the year. Although Brian Christopher has been pretty awesome too. For pure workrate, the Lucha Libre promotions have been the biggest highlight. I still love the Lozanski, Wagner, Casas triple strut from the UWA trios from Feb.

    I specifically recall Kevin Von Erich talking about World Class running 3 towns a night, and that he had to work them all after Kerry's foot injury. Which contradicts what most other people who worked WCCW have said as far as the travel and road schedule.

    I don't know the full story, only that it involved him being fired in late 92 or early 93.

    I've hated him since 2002 or so. He rarely puts anyone over, and when he does, it's usually a lousy performance. Not all that far away from Brody now that I think about it.

    Eddie and Davey dropped the belt in Manhattan a couple weeks back.
  11. MikeCampbell
    JDW has told the story before that Dave once laughed at Terry, when he said that Masato Tanaka was just as good as the guys in All Japan.

    Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Hirooki Goto from November '07 was quite awesome, it fooled people into thinking that Goto was the next great heavyweight. I haven't seen a Goto match that even sniffs it since.
  13. MikeCampbell
    I pretty much hate him too.

    Yamazaki/Iizuka vs. Hashimoto/Hirata - 6/12/96
  15. MikeCampbell
    These two were either high as kites, shitfaced drunk, or just out of their minds.

    Cornette and his boys bring the goods on the mic. After so many goofy and funny promos from Jim and the Bodies, this is a refreshing change.
  17. MikeCampbell
    Fans in that area have been known to have long memories, so Garvin is the perfect choice to even the sides. "I used the piledriver before you even thought about wrestling!"

    Corey Macklin marks out for Jackie. The babyfaces clean house and Jackie does the Fargo strut!

    I loved him singing "I got a video!" Brian is awesome.

    The WWF finally turns the LOD into cartoon characters.

    Did anyone else notice the glass of wine on the table? Funny promo from Razor, the chicas are for fun.

    Tatanka, in gear, visits a reservation and gives a lecture to the kids. Goofy stuff, but it fits the time period.

    There were little touches that I liked from Toyota and Yamada, that showed why they were the superior team, but, as a whole, this just didn't do much for me. The blown spots from Toyota dragged this down a lot for me, as did the first fall finish. The backdrops in the second falls bothered me too, because you'd think after so many of them Yamada would have tried for a pin, and not gone to the top for the kick.
  24. MikeCampbell
    This was good, as expected with the four of them, but it just didn't click at the level I'd have expected them to. The finish with the ref bump is stupid, it seems more suitable for WCW than New Japan.

    I've always been something of a notorious Sasaki hater, but even I enjoyed this. Hase wants to show that he's still big brother to the returning Sasaki and can still kick his ass on a regular basis. Sasaki wants to prove that he's "grown up" in a sense and isn't afraid to bend rules, like choking him with the sleeper, in order to do it. Hase responds by upping the brutality and destroying Sasaki with Uranages and finally pinning him with the NLS.
