Tawren Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 For Halloween week I decided to watch some LA Park and that spawned an interest in watching some other lucha too. I love Park and have enjoyed watching a few random matches, including vs Santito from 12/23/01 and a crazy Nitro match w/ Psicosis vs Rey and Juvi from 12/97. Â I also watched Park vs Ultimo Guerrero from 4/18/04 for the first time since 2004 - I recall touting it as my 2004 MOTY at the time. Not sure if I'd still do that but it's really good. Â Including El Satanico vs Sangre Chicana from 9/24/83, so the day after Sangre Chicana vs MS-1, which elliot linked in the Sangre Chicana Top 100 nominee thread. I really enjoyed reading those threads at the time (and some after still) and wish I had participated rather than watch from the sidelines. Â Sangre Chicana vs MS-1 is absolutely a ***** match. I think it hits the 'peak' of the style and crowd and wrestlers in a way that the all-time greats recognizably do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Enthusiast Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Watching the Lawler vs Rich/Idol comp for the third time, or so. Never fails to entertain me. This is the one that is on the HighSpots Network, though I have seen another one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I saw an 05 Perros (Perro, Jr., Tarzan Boy, Hector Garza) vs Mistico, Casas, Heavy Metal trios while holding a screaming baby. It had pretty much everything you'd want from it: a mean rudo beatdown with attitude, Casas and Garza facing off and hamming it up, Toscano and Heavy metal going super fast, young Mistico diving about recklessly, a spirited comeback, and an action packed finishing stretch. I really love CMLL trios like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruiserBrody Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wrasslin-back-in-the-day-wrestlemania-1/ I proudly present the 6,329th review of Wrestlemania 1 on the internet! It is a necessary evil as I climb through wrestling history month-by-month. Inside I cover the somewhat surprising story the main event tells -something I don't remember grasping in previous viewings over the years. Plus, Wendi Richter continues to deliver poor matches amid major hype, Buddy Rose is good at this whole pro wrestling thing, King Kong Bundy is a lying liar, Special Delivery Jones may have Wolverine-like recuperative powers, JYD manages to get winded from laying on the mat, the WWF rulebook changes match from match, Captain Lou is sedated, Barry Windham's collarbone gives him CTE, an MSG janitor gets his Wrestlemania moment, and more!

iamthedoctor Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Im stuck at a cross roads here. I started to watch NWA around the 1986 season where I was watching every weekly show then I got to October 1990 just after Havoc, but due to family problems had to take a break from it and now a year later with less free time now sure how to continue it. Â At the moment I get a free 90 mins per day to watch stuff so been catching up to WWF stuff from Mania 7 to Mania 9 and almost into Summerslam 93 but Id like to go back into WCW so would it be best to continue 1990 or start somewhere else? Â Having less time means I cant see everything that I would like to as I was going through Main Event, Pro, Worldwide, Sat Nite, Power Hour so looking for the best solution.

Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Just finished the wXw 17th Anniversary show. Pretty good show on the whole (unfortunately Zack Sabre had bronchitis and couldn’t travel, which lead to Pete Dunne filling in on a match that wasn’t available to be streamed) with a gruesome main event, especially by 2017 standards.

Pretty good show on the whole (unfortunately Zack Sabre had bronchitis and couldn’t travel, which lead to Pete Dunne filling in on a match that wasn’t available to be streamed) with a gruesome main event, especially by 2017 standards.  I assume the unfortunate part is that the match couldn't be streamed, because I'd take Pete Dunne over Zack Sabre Jr. any day of the week and twice on Sundays. With that said, I wish ZSJ a speedy recovery - being sick is never fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I wish ZSJ a speedy recovery - being sick is never fun. Both were unfortunate. They had been hyping Sabre’s return for the show for the past couple months so it was too bad it was unable to happen. It was also going to be a good spot for Marius Al-Ani to get some more attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Been watching a Al Snow shoot and noticed this clip on the net.

Tawren Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Watched Undertaker vs Vader from Canadian Stampede 1997. That crowd was wild - we will never see a crowd like that in Canada/USA again. Â Good match, Paul Bearer is outstanding, Taker and Vader exchange blows, and a good finish with two chokeslams and a tombstone for a clean win. Vader's WWF run is all what-if but he was good in 1997, and Taker had a great 1997. Imagine that Taker in AJPW in 1997-99, going over with or instead of Vader. That would have been interesting.

Cap Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I have been catching up with 205 live in the background this morning. I know its been said 100 times, this is a fairly underrated show. So many performers going out and putting on some really fun TV. Its unfortunate that they typically perform to crickets.
