Bette Davis is the goat, she was awesome and her rivalry with Joan Crawford is legendary. https://vk.com/search?c[per_page]=40&c[q]=whatever happened to baby jane&c[section]=video&c[sort]=2&z=video-212442096_456239344 What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962)

I think Tenryu's peak, consistency and longevity are unreal, Hashimoto's peak is awesome but it isn't as good.

This is exactly how I feel about The Young Bucks.

Where's Satánico?

Punk is 44 years old and The Young Bucks are 33 and 34 so come on this behaviour is absolutely unacceptable. Just behave like adults.

Accurate

That's what I consider the most with golden era candidates and the lack of footage.

Hiromu Takahashi has been one of the best juniors in NJPW since 2017 or so is very surprising that he wasn't nominated until yesterday. Good recomendations Control.

Carl Greco had a lot of matches in PWFG and Battlarts, enough for a GWE case I think.

Here’s another 50’s classic that impressed me, Gagne is a rookie in 1950 but he doesn’t look like one, his holds, especially the hammerlocks, feel really rough and actually meaningful in this match. Billy Goelz is the definition of a hidden gem, we have very few matches of him but what we have is very impressive, the way he sold Gagne’s offense in this bout was absolutely outstanding, his style was very unorthodox for the National Wrestling Alliance in the 1950’s, it’s closer to something France in 1956 and 1957 onwards, he wasn’t just another tough guy from this era, he was special. As many might have guessed by now, the match took place in Chicago in June the 21st 1950. The Illinois Jr Heavyweight title is on the line, this means that it’s only one fall with a twenty minute time limit, Billy Goelz entered the arena as the champion. The main plot point of the match was the battle between Goelz’s hammerlock against Gagne’s headscissors as Superstar Sleeze pointed out a few years ago. As I said before, both men’s work over their opponent’s limbs was sublime especially Goelz hammerlock, this was a thrilling match with a surprising amount of near falls considering the era. When they were close to the time limit, Goelz hit a dropkick and it legitimately felt like a match-ending move but it wasn’t Gagne kicked out in two, the match was declared a time limit draw protecting Gagne’s push to the top of the card and Goelz retaining his belt, very intelligent booking if you ask me. An absolute timeless classic, if you aren’t a fan of the style that we associate with the 1950’s at least give this a try, I hope you like it as much as I did.

This match took place in March 31st 1950 in Chicago, Illinois and Thesz’s NWA World Heavyweight title is on the line. His opponent, the challenger is Cyclone Anaya is a young man from Venezuela that’s going up the ranks. Chicago was the most important territory during the early 50’s that’s why many matches from there still exist to this day. Don’t forget that during this time most matches were two out of three falls so we’ll be talking about falls when discussing the bout. Now let’s go to the match itself, after the presentation the underdog went right at the reigning champion but Thesz was able to control the situation and the victory in the 1st fall after he applied a Lou Thesz press with some impulse from the ropes. The 2nd fall is different, Anaya is way more confident and strong, he gets the victory with an abdominal stretch. They trade falls around the seventeen minute mark. In the 3rd fall logic prevailed and Thesz got the definitive victory with single leg crab after seven minutes of full domination. Not even the greatest performance in Cyclone Anaya’s life was enough to take Lou Thesz down, an underrated classic that I recommend to everyone reading.

He is probably the greatest tag team specialist ever. He's a top 40 or top 35 wrestler ever. His 1986 is awesome.

Emilio Charles Jr was the best worker in Mexico, I love his match against El Dandy 7/28.

The playlist is very useful for a thread like this.

The main event is my MOTY of 2009. Enjoy!

Absolute classic, one of the best 60 minute time limit draws I've ever seen. ****

Good for him, I think he will thrive in the mexican independent scene.

We accept ballots until June 30th ( Terry Funk's birthday).

I think so too, I have Thesz at number 13 so I wouldn't have a problem with that.

I love what we have but the lack of footage is difficult to ignore. We don't have enough footage.

As Kadaveri put it, it's a fast-paced match full of spots and the only problem I have with this match is the assisted dive botch.

He had many problems with CMLL and AAA, he was banned in both companies.

Sorry

He is very polarizing Mexico because of nepotism. He is either loved or hated. https://www.milenio.com/deportes/mas-aficion/hijo-santo-mejores-luchas-enmascarado-plata
