Dooley Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 What in the utter fuck was Keiji Mutoh thinking in 2000 when he was putting over (clean) the likes of Ernest Miller and Tank Abbott in crummy WCW matches?! "My cheques clear." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Some of his early All Japan booking was sort of bizarre too. Mike Barton got a huge push for a while there. I get that he was thinking "maybe I can make this guy a thing", but... no. That time he brought Kronik in and they crushed people and it sucked. Then poof they were gone. I dunno. Muto's just one of those people you take the bad with the good and deal with it, in all things. He's certainly had an interesting ride through it all.

cm funk Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 WCW in 99-00 was such a trainwreck and they were just throwing random shit at the wall. The only explanation for Mutoh going there is money and maybe he felt like going back to the states for fun. WCW was not fun in any way at that point in time. I kinda liked that "Deadpool" gimmick they briefly started with Raven, Vampiro, Muta and the ICP but it ended before it had barely started. WCW wasted Mutoh so badly, but they fucked up practically everything in those days so it wasn't a big surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?threadid=83023 Anyone know how many of those matches have made tape? Flair / Martel vs. Choshu and Yatsu sounds interesting. Were the Flair vs. Luger matches from 86 any good? There are Flair vs. Garvin matches from Portland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Luger was very green in 1986, and I didn't really care for those matches with Flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Liska Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Watching 1988 Memphis and my mind is struggling with Ron and Don Harris as clean-cut white meat babyfaces throwing dropkicks to the delight of the girls in the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 The 6/4/88 CWA show has the Harris Brothers against Jimmy Golden (Bunkhouse Buck) & Rob Fuller (Robert Parker). To a fan from 1994, I think THAT would make my head explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Guitar Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I was trawling through Dailymotion and I found this... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1r01p5_hollywood-blondes-rick-rude-vs-ricky-steamboat-sting-2-cold-scorpio-wcw-house-show-05-06-1993_sport Not the greatest match ever, But it's a fancam from a house show, so it's rare, And it features a bunch of guys we like.

BillThompson Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Because I feel it doesn't get the talk/respect it deserves, especially in comparison to RoH, I'm starting a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla project for my website. Anyone have any suggestions on what wrestlers to watch out for as I move through their earliest shows (I've only seen PWG in individual matches here and there and not much from their beginnings)?

Fantastic Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Undertaker resurfaced at the George Strait finale in Dallas this weekend He looks considerably healthier than he did prior to and during Wrestlemania this year. I think they said in the Observer this week that WWE wanted him to return for Wrestlemania next year and that he usually makes his decision by the fall. Strangely, he might be able to pull off another match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Is there any value in him doing another match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 It'll probably help draw? If drawing is even a thing anymore? It'll give him a more celebratory retirement match? I think there's probably some casual interest in "What can taker do after Brock beat the streak?" That seems like a thing Kris' friends would talk to him at the water cooler about.

KrisZ Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 They could always do the Taker/Brock rematch like Taker gave rematches to HBK & HHH this time the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Liska Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 There's certainly value in at least doing a retirement match. That would be a pretty emotional scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Let him do a tag with Kane. Or maybe Wyatt will be a face by then. Just do something where he can be protected and it'll draw interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sunny at SummerSlam '97 is the WWF's first attempt at being insanely over the top sexual, right? I mean, she's not even really in her top, and it is quite awesome. Easily puts Sable to shame in that segment. Funny thing is, I know the Divas and women in wrestling in general would get way more over the top, but there's something about the way that Sunny found the line in her WWF work and pushed it as far as possible that I find way more appealing than anything that came after.

Strummer Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 the poor kid in that segment seems to be going through puberty on live TV. I can't remember WWE being so overly sexual before that. Maybe the Sunny Raw bumpers in 95/96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
