[1992-05-16-USWA-TV] Contract Signing: Eddie Gilbert vs Jerry Lawler
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in May 1992
It was an awesome segment, I legit jumped when Gilbert attacked Lawler. All things considered though, you can't say Lawler didn't have it coming.- 12 replies

The Moondogs angle continues to bring the awesomeness. Richard Lee's drunken selling when he got popped by Marlin was almost as awesome. Why didn't Eddie Gilbert try to bring the Moondogs into ECW when he first started with them? If they were anything like they had been in Memphis, they'd have gotten over like a million bucks.

[1992-05-16-WWF-Superstars] Ultimate Warrior and Papa Shango
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in May 1992
Shango made this bearable with his goofy facial expression and body language. I liked Vince's skepticism, saying that it might have just been an unfortunate accident, as though Warrior ate tainted pork or something. And, Will, thanks for sparing us puking backstage.- 12 replies

This is the same bit of randomness from the day before, only this is covered with awesome sauce! Santo and Casas steal the show, again, but the four FMW guys say screw it to trying to fit into the lucha libre box, and just work a typical FMW brawl, and the match freaking rules for it!
-
This is certainly a weird lineup, the only thing missing was bumping GW and Mascaras for Takada and Anjoh. This has it's fun moments, thanks to Casas and Santo, but it just never seemed to really click for me.

[1997-01-13-WCW-Nitro] Diamond Dallas Page and The Outsiders
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in January 1997
Mark was supposed to take corner bump and then stumble into the Diamond Cutter. But, he decided to take the bump and do a big belly flop, so DDP had to run and leap in order to do the 'Cutter.- 14 replies

Greatest performances in ad-hoc last-minute-change situations
MikeCampbell replied to JerryvonKramer's topic in Pro Wrestling
I second the Hokuto broken neck example. She's truly the toughest person on the face of the earth to suffer that injury and keep going. -
And the sequel, when they were in the airport and went to say hi to Billy Gunn who just happened to be travelling with Shamrock, and Shamrock was ready to kick both of their asses.

I like the scenario that Loss laid out, especially with the 'Bryan earns his title shot by doing the impossible' angle. And, AFAIK, Roman Reigns is still undefeated, except by DQ. So, it's the perfect setup to make him run the Shield gauntlet of Rollins, Ambrose, and then finally Reigns. What worries me, though, is John Cena is now expected back sooner than expected. I know we all think it's possible, but do the powers that be think that they can get Punk and Bryan over as big enough babyfaces that they'll actually turn Cena heel to side with HHH and his goons? He could make the surprise return, with everyone expecting him to help Bryan out and then lay him out, in revenge for Bryan beating him in the first place.

Typically, the wrestlers who win the title of MITB cash ins don't really hold it too long. The only exceptions I'm recalling offhand are Miz and Kane. But in most cases, especially recently, they've dropped it after only a month or two. I'm hoping that they do the obvious Orton/Bryan rematch next month, with a lame finish and then give Bryan the strap at HIAC. I imagine the idea for Punk is that Brock is "done" and that Punk has to run through Heyman's gauntlet to get another shot at him. But, with Super Cena out, Bryan and Punk are pretty much the only top babyfaces.

Punk/Brock was what that much lauded Joe/Angle TNA Lockdown match should have been. They had a wrestling match, with some clear MMA influence, but kept it in the realm of wrestling. The boys and I were thinking that the HHH/Orton thing plays out with the second coming of Evolution. HHH in the Flair role, and Orton in the HHH role. They could scoop up Ryback for the Batista role, and perhaps a newly ripped Kassius Ohono in the Orton role.

Who is the modern equivalent of Bulldog Bob Brown?
MikeCampbell replied to BrickHithouse's topic in Pro Wrestling
http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?showtopic=13279 - There's a 21 page thread about the merits of PG-13 as a team. Jamie certainly left a black mark on family name, but he was far from worthless. -
Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
NOAH has pretty much been screwed since before the Misawa accident, and that, combined with Kobashi's retirement, and Akiyama jumping back to All Japan have only made things worse. I think that working with Mutoh and his crew could be a shot in the arm, but it looks like Mutoh and his boys are re-starting Wrestle-1, so that seems to be out. -

How about Brian Adias then? -

Someone mentioned, years ago, that Bill Goldberg was one of the people originally on Piper's team. Any truth to that, I'd long since forgotten about the entirety of the segment, except for John Tenta.

I don't have the exact date offhand, but the Takada/Kitao screwjob is probably worth checking out. For those who don't know, Kitao and Takada were supposed to go to a draw, but Takada doubled crossed Kitao and legit KO'd him with a high kick.

That must have been before I was around. When I used to talk to him he was all about Shinjiro Ohtani. I haven't head from him in years, last time I'm recalling was in 2010, when I had my surgery and he wished me well.

You're welcome!

Bret vs. Martel for the IC Title on an episode of Prime Time, which wound up leading to that goofy Shawn/Martel SummerSlam match.
-
There's nothing I can really add here, that wasn't already said by Loss, John, or anyone else. I enjoyed this a lot, especially the stuff on the mat. It's the first time I've seen Santo job.

[1992-05-09-WCW-Saturday Night] Steve Austin vs Barry Windham (2/3 falls)
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in May 1992
It's no wonder that Austin wound up being such a good worker. Getting to work matches like this with Barry, and then later in the year getting to work with Ricky Steamboat.- 15 replies

[1992-05-09-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Rick Rude

This is campy, but entertaining. Especially the woman asking how she can be his first lady, and Rude replying "I'll get with you later."- 11 replies
