    I was fascinated by those videos at the time. I didn't know who Bam Bam was, as I became a fan in late 1989 and only got WWF back then, but those video made me a fan right away. His stint would end up being a bit disapointing...

    The problem is that she was still low on the totem pole. I go back home tonight (end of vacation time, argh...), so I'll try to dig up my old notes, I'm pretty sure I had some Yoshida matches to pimp.
  3. El-P
    Now that's a worker.

    Well, I'm not exactly on the same page as far as the rest of your ranking goes (not digging Toyota and Yamada nearly as much as you do), and although I wouldn't put Yoshida at the number 1 spot, I'm glad someone else is feeling the early Yoshida love. I'll have to find my old notes about Yoshida in 92, but I felt she was already a terrific worker and had a great year in 92. You dig a really good job summing up why. It's well known, well to people who know me from long ago, that I'm a huge Yoshida mark from ARSION, and finding out that she already ruled, in a totally different fashion, in 92, was really my biggest enjoyment of watching joshi 1992.

    Yes, probably. After Savage and DiBiase, being paired with Sherri equalled = important heel.

    Why Sid got settle with Harvey Whippleman in the first place ? Funny how Sid destroying jobbers in 1992 seemed fun, but Sid destroying jobbers in 1999 in WCW was annoying.
  7. El-P
    WCW at its most horrible best. This is wrestling.

    Never cared much for "in-love Sherri", always thought it didn't fit her crazy-ass character. Plus she didn't get physically involved as much anymore, which wasn't as much fun as her kicking Tenryu or outworking the Warrior from the outside. That said, she looked sexy as hell during the Shawn era.

    Hogan's character is pretty compelling in the long run for that reason. He was really the all-time hypocrite bastard he ended up portraying in the nWo. Sid's fake tag was just great. I realize I loved Sid at that time.

    Great goofy WWF style press conference. Goofy because it tried to be serious, not because it was intentionnally goofy. Yeah, Flair and Sid's promo were great. I can't help but root for Sid here, as it's obvious Tunney is so far up Hogan's ass it's not even funny. Loved Sid's reaction. Hogan's "Yes yes !" is terrible Hogan acting as always and make it even better, you feel Hogan is overacting because he knew he would get the match anyway.

    Martel's character was so ridiculously fun. I could watch anythinh involving the Model, even a feud with Tatanka. I remember this angle very well.
  12. El-P
    Can't wait to watch WCW Saturday Nights from 92.

    I loved Papa Shango. I thought Kama was decent. I thought the GodFather was rather embarrassing (a face pimp was the nadir of the Russo era in WWF). I thought the GoodFather had zero reedeeming value.

    In 1983 in Charlotte it could have been a great match. I never knew these two even met in the WWF. I have a vague recollection of the Slaughter vs Mountie feud. Very vague.

    I know, I got lazy and stopped rewieving old shows after a while. Sambo was so much fun at one point. I'll have to check out where exactly I stopped one of these days. EDIT : actually, I stopped after 92 because most of the post 93 shows are well known. I think I uploaded every bit of Sambo I had.

    I feel for the girfriend. If I was her, I would run far far away. Yeah, really good work Bix, enjoyed reading you.

    Warrior's outfit was distracting to say the least. I wonder why HHH never tried it, seems right in his alley. I remember watching this stuff on Superstar, and the fact it looked like total chaos to me. Ah, being a mark again...

    Was Chaz "just a guy from NJ who beats his girlfriend"/"Headbanger"/"Beaver Cleaver" ?

    I couldn't tell you the specifics for lacking of speaking japanese, but I remember Toyota being pissed off of her best friend Yamada for not picking her as her tag partner in some tag league, and it jumpstart their rivalry. The hair-match was all about Yamada emulating her childhood hero Chigusa. Toyota trying to stop Yamada was all about her getting super emotionnal and not wanting her friend to cut her hair after all I guess. I think there's something lost in translation here, as I don't think we can apply the same psych to joshi puroresu than to US men's wrestling. The über emotionnal stuff seems very japanese to me.

    Funny how things work. Foley was always thought of as some sort of sick fuck to some extent, especially with the "get bashed 10 times with a chair before my childrens" incident. Yet...
  21. El-P
    The Hardy boys story is a sad sad one.
  22. El-P
    Sat behind the curtains.
  23. El-P
    Surreal to watch Flair vs Taker V0.1 on Superstars.
  24. El-P
    It's not the point at all. No. Saying the term is stupid when obviously it has been understood by many people is an excuse to not even try to understand the point that is being made.

    Seriously? Could've fooled me, I had no idea. I made a perfect score on my verbal SAT test here in America, and your posts are often better written than mine. Well, thanks for the compliment. But I can assure you I'm sometime stuttering mentally and not feeling comfortable enough to really get to the points with enough precision. I don't agree with that one, for a specific reason: they worked that into the story of the match. Joe was deliberately ripping off a bunch of spots from the AJPW legends, and Kobashi responded by getting pissed off and beating the everliving shit out of this wannabe. I don't think I've ever seen Kenta stiff anyone so hard in the face as he was with those diving double-handed chops in the corner after the hundred-chop barrage. They intentionally made a point out of Joe marking out and doing cosplay spots, and that causing Kobashi to be all "what the fuck, you little punk? You haven't earned that!". Joe only took back over on offense once he stopped being a wannabe and went back to the faux-MMA stuff which was his calling card. Samoa Joe doing masturbatory "I can't believe I'm wrestling KENTA KOBASHI, holy shit this is the greatest day of my life!" e-fed spots and then paying for his hubris was the specific point of the story those two guys were telling. If that's the case, then it went totally over my head. If I ever get to watch it again, I'll try to watch for this.
