[2017-05-20-WWE-NXT Takeover: Chicago] Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne
Edwin replied to SmartMark15's topic in May 2017
I have horrible taste in pro-wrestling and do enjoy these intense indy Jr. style matches every so often, so I had a blast re-watching this today, however I wouldn't call this a 5 star classic or anything along those lines. Bate's rolling kick, Dunne's shocked face when Bate kicked out of the Orange Crush and Dunne countering Bate's huge over the top dive with an elbow were my favorite moments in this. Good fun. -
I guess he's talking about Bryan? Can't say I can blame Dave here as most of his reports are from Bryan himself, either in interviews from other places or as a source. ps: Loss, how the hell are we in 2018 and we can't embed tweets on this board?? Best thing about this tweet is the Meltzer is bigger in this industry than you reply.

Imagne the heat KO and Sayn would get if WWE announced that due to the attack Bryan is back on the shelf and won't get cleared to return again...
-
What a great segment.
-
They should have kept it a secret and then revealed him as Braun Strowman's tag team partner in the tag title match.
-
In other news Big Cass has also been cleared to return to the ring...
-
This is great news. No one needs to wish anymore. They can see it with their eyes. #NakamuravsBryan

I would be down for Bryan vs. Nakamura for the title if the AJ injury rumors are true and he has to pull out -- chances of this occurring? Little to none. Good chance it will be him and Shane vs. KO and Sami.

Yeah, this was really good with a ton of cool moments -- Han's rolling hammerlock modified guillotine choke, Yamamoto's early body strikes, Yamamoto's reverse STF Han counter, Han's banana split and the finishing armlock from Han with his legs.

So WWE saved all their pyro for 20 seconds in the Ultimate Deletion?

Black Terry vs Wotan 8/21/16 Where can I watch this? I've searched for it, but can't find it anywhere. Anyone willing to hook me up and I can Paypal them a few bucks for it.

This is beautiful. I don't get the sense of this being such a squash match as it's being made out to be. Nagai was still a rookie at this point going up against a much more experienced grappler, so it was smartly work and Han gave Nagai enough for him to draw underdog sympathy. Nagai's comebacks were excellently timed and they really made the crowd buy into a potential upset. Despite Han's great performance, I think some of his sub attempts were somewhat lazy/slow near the end, but they looked awesome when he completed executing them. I also dug how Han just pulled out a sub out of whatever position he was in. Really strong match.

I don't really have much else to add as Superstar Sleaze pretty much summarized my sentiment. Those early grappling exchanges were pretty excellent as was the finishing stretch. I thought the spinning backfist was a little weak however. It was a good match despite the downtime however.

Unbelievable match. This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Reckless crowd brawling, eye racking, weapon throwing, hate filed, intense brawl. The constant trash talk between them as they rake each others eyes is perfect. Hero's stomps are noteworthy as he just smushes King's head in with them. Some of the highlights include King's careless suplex through a table that slides and Hero just hits the floor hard, the constant trash talk as they rake each others eyes and chop and stomp on other, Hero tossing a guard rail at King, Hero's vicious stomps, Hero carelessly throwing a chair in the ring and hitting King in the back of the head, vicious slap exchanges, reckless headbutt's, Hero's crushing King's head with elbows and knees at the same time, Hero hitting a Cravate Cutter with the chair, Hero double stomping the guard rail into King and King's backdrop driver on the guard rail. Easily one of the best U.S. indie matches of all-time.

I believe Powerbomb.TV has some IWAMS. On night 2 of the 2007 Ted Petty Invitational, there's a Chris Hero/Eddie Kingston match that is one of my favorite brawls ever. So brutal. Unbelievable match. This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Reckless crowd brawling, eye racking, weapon throwing, hate filed, intense brawl.

I gave this a re-watch after years and it holds a bit -- but it's not as good as I originally thought it was back then and I didn't like it as much as you guys. It's pretty much a showcase main event match, albeit a very good one. Daniels bores me -- I would've preferred if this had more Ki v. Dragon interactions and less interactions with Daniels. Ki and Dragon's face kicks on each other looked excellent and them taking back kicks on Daniels was pretty great. Very good match, but not a great one and far from what the commentators made it out to be.

Given my newly found enjoyment of the Homicide vs. Teddy Hart feud -- what are some of the best/must see brawls from the past 18 years? Mostly seeking bloody throw down brawls I can potentially find on the WWE Network, the Highspots Wrestling Network, Powerbomb.TV, YouTube or Dailymotion -- or if you could provide a link, that would great.

I guess Ax got over his health condition then. Thats what I had heard anyway back in 1990 for the reason Crush was added.

I get it you're a big fan of WAR? Maybe I would be if I ever see any of it. Probably too modern for my tastes https://youtu.be/qUdtffiFUrw?t=1h5m20s

My biggest gripe with this realism narrative is that a simple Irish whip pretty much kills any sense of realism. im talking about realism in mat work or strikes ie stuff you would see in a real fight Even then, there's a lot of matwork in pro-wrestling that obviously doesn't work/wouldn't work in a real fight. That reminds of this clip from JRE: If you stick to that narrative, then not even shoot style would work for you as a lot of the matwork in shoot style doesn't make sense, is poorly executed, etc.
