I ran an e-fed where two guys came in as a tag team called Entropy Crusade, who literally fought for chaos.

My problem with the match is in 'how' they went long. I felt like the matwork and outside brawling were more filler than quality content, and the finish went overlong. That said, I think there's a much better case for this as a MOTYC than lots in today's puro landscape.

Vince must work 100 hours a week, maybe more depending on how you count travel. He's "insulated" primarily because he's non-stop WWE. -

Add whole organic, non pesticide raw foods instead. Yeah those pesticides on the fruit I eat are totally what's making me yawn at meetings! -
I do think that, booking-wise, Kobashi should have stayed down after one backdrop driver. As selling, however, it was an over-the-top "oh god someone get me outta here" reaction to an over-the-top move and I think it worked.

I work for a family company, all the employees like each other, and we do like three meetings a year and I *still* hate meetings. I am not looking forward to what it will be like in future jobs. I expect I'll need to add more drugs to my diet to stay awake... -
Cook had a recurring role in Psych, which is on USA. But I guess that isn't a strong enough link to make anyone's radar.

Exactly. They went from a juniors highspot match to RAR I'M GONNA KILL YOU with zero in-between. It's not like they *told a story* of DK getting more and more frustrated by his inability to beat TM, or have him get desperate and cheat/throw punches/grab a chair, culminating in the bottle break. The transition from high-flying to attempted stabbing is jarring. Does the bottle break make the match memorable? Sure! Doesn't mean it was logical or well-executed. There's lots of memorable angles in wrestling history that got a crowd reaction, but in hindsight didn't make sense. The difference is, none of those are used to try and make the case for a wrestling match being the best of all time.

"Jerry Lawler is a really great wrestler who aged well" is a mindset so contrarian, so subversive, that it's a major storyline in WWE.

The '85 version only got used about 10 times. And unlike the rest of his moveset I don't recall it being ripped off by anyone.

TNA finally sends Jeff Hardy home after ruining PPV main event
Ditch replied to Bix's topic in Megathread archive
And they certainly never put said heavyweight title on him! So yeah, TNA is a new level of idiocy. -
There's definitely some gaps that weren't aired on Samurai. For instance, 11/27/99 had some bits aired on NTV, and Samurai skips from 10/25 to 11/30 with no gaps in the Samurai airings. They SHAMEFULLY skipped 3/11/00, which NTV barely aired and was headlined by Misawa/Kobashi/Kikuchi vs Kawada/Taue/Fuchi, and it's because they went back and aired some crappy NYGS footage after airing Excite Series. Whoever made that decision... *shakes fist*
-
I'm reasonably certain that 5/27 wasn't on Samurai.

Internet sarcasm is a tricky, dangerous thing.

I'm looking at ~19 matches in right now, that's a decent amount. If more are wanted there's... Kawada, Taue & Omori vs Kobashi, Ace & Patriot 5/18: Probably the best 6-man to use from '97 AJ in the context of the yearbook. There's an all-star tag on 9/15 that isn't worth putting on considering it's an hour long. Misawa vs Akiyama, 5/27: Start of their singles series, and it's clipped to a reasonably hot finish. Kawada & Taue vs Kobashi & Ace, 5/27: First big Kobashi/Ace match, also heavily JIP so easier to justify. Kawada & Taue vs Kobashi & Ace, 10/11: These two teams meeting up always produces a good match. Great? Eh... I feel like handheld footage gets hard to justify by the time we're into 1997.
-
I got that CC handheld. Taue vs Akiyama has a good second half but overall is quite skippable.

Saito vs Kojika, NJ 1/4: Kojika has RED HAIR and FAKE GRENADES (?!) and HATES THE CROWD. Saito's entrance theme is BOSS. Kojika cheats and KOTESU YAMAMOTO DOES NOT TAKE GUFF FROM NOBODY. A bunch of STUFF happens. Random Big Japan dudes get tossed around. All in under 10 minutes! Fascinating segment, even though as a match it sucks.
