rvd356 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thank you I appreciate that. I will get to work on that. I just gotta call em as I see em because I struggle with the idea that in entertainment, my favorites aren't also the greatest to me. But I'm going to start looking at new stuff that's not my stuff cuz that's how I got obsessed with Patera, Takada and Hash by reading this stuff so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Waco Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Nominating: Miguel Perez Jr. Super Medico Believe Perez Jr. has enough matches reviewed in Yearbook/Puerto Rico match threads. For Medico w/Rufus Jones v. Battens Chicky Starr, Hugo and Carlos Colon are wearing tuxes and introduce this match from what looked like another part of the arena which is something I wasn't expecting. Awesome moment early as Rufus is in a headlock and goes into his jive dance, slips out and the Batten face plants to a huge pop. The Battens are actually really good heels as they do a great job taking solid bumps and playing the fool for the babyface team. Gotta love the faces doing the heel tactics behind the refs back as the Battens freak the fuck out and plead with the fans to tell the ref what is going on. The Battens finally get in a cheap shot to the back of Rufus when he hits the ropes to take over. I loved the way Rufus sold that shot as he sold it like an old man who's back went out while taking out the trash. The Battens end up doing the switcharoo behind the refs back that the faces had been utilizing against them, but Rufus is able to fight out shortly thereafter and we get an epic hot tag with the Batten leaping to stop it and Medico going fucking nuts with fists of furry to a massive pop. Rufus knocks one of the Battens out with a headbutt and then Medico rolls through on the reverse crossbody for the pin, as The Battens claim their tights were held. v. Hercules Ayala I think I have a higher tolerance for Ayala than most. He's not a good wrestler, but you can plug him into certain roles or situations and he is perfectly acceptable and that is basically what he was here - a perfectly acceptable, bullying heel. On the flip side I thought Medicowas really, really good in this. I hesitate to say great because there is only so much you can do with Ayala, but basically everything thatMedico did in this was good. Loved his opening barrage and how over the crowd was for him. The psychology of Ayala on the verge of losing and bailing out to the floor was well played and I also liked how every time the pace picked up in this Medico got the advantage. I really loved Medico's punch flurry when Ayala was caught up in the ropes and Medico's selling and timing on all of his comeback was really good. Medico also took a real good post shot in this which is something I am always a mark for. Ayala in control wasn't as compelling on it's own, though I did like the initial shot that set up the FIP and they did a really great job with the hope spots as the sleeper attempt felt huge and I thought Medico's desperate fighting out of the figure four attempts was really great. I didn't even mind the finish here, because it really came off like Ayala had to do everything to get the figure-four on and was not going to relinquish it because he knew if that wasn't going to put Medico away nothing would. Really strong performance by Medico that got plenty of time (about 14 minutes all total interspersed with what looked like a few very minor edits for local promos), built well, told a good story and left you feeling that the face was a star with real heart and the heel was a piece of shit. v. White Knight (Pat Rose) This is a match between two guys in long white trunks and completely white masks with totally different gimmicks. Kind of a strange match in that there wasn't a lot that was done and a few restholds that lasted for while, but the atmosphere remained electric throughout and the hope spots and cut offs were a lot of fun (and simple). The highlight of the match might have actually been the opening punch exchange which sounds like light praise, but it was pretty awesome. There were a couple of cool rope running spots and I actually thought this was one of the better executed multiple ref bump sequences I've ever seen. In many ways this is very subdued match, but I really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuryWindham Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 The Patriot (Del Wilkes) version is a curious talent. Does he belong in the same breathe as Misawa, Funk, Lawler, Tenryu? Probably not but is he one of the greatest workers ever? Perhaps to an extent. The value of Wilkes as a great worker is similar to that of Tommy Rogers an excellent tag team specialist that when given shots at singles matches put on fun, never boring and solid ring work. For Patriots best work his work with Kobashi in the 96 tag league, was his best stuff. For tag matches his match where he and Kobashi faced Akiyama and Misawa is probably his best match and a high recommendation for me. I'd be willing to call it the second best match of a memorable tournament full of great matches. For singles work, the Bret Hart feud was something of a bright spot in a time where the WWE had next to none. He was over, the capture the flag match was also great fun. I'll nominate him based purely of being on the all time great tag specialists, his memorable gimmick which I personaly feel was always over and being an all around good singles talent.

elliott Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Is Billy Joe Travis not nominated? He's another guy I wanted to ask for recommendations for. I've only watched the few matches he had on the Texas set and he kind of struck me as a hillbilly exotico which would probably make him a top 100 contender alone if I could see more footage.

goc Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I love Billy Joe Travis but think there is really no case for him as a Top 100 guy. He just never stuck around anywhere long enough to put together a good run anywhere, very much like Buddy Landel in that regard. This is a really cool Billy Joe Travis match to check out though with him in a Puerto Rican baseball stadium being a heat magnet against Hugo Savinovich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCQwnNZInE Not matches but a nice compilation of Billy Joe's best antics: *Gotta give props to Mark Lowrance's call of "Chris Adams just had a soft drink bottle smashed over his head, he may be dead!"

Matt D Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I feel like we need to nominate Ultimo Guerrero even if just to dismiss him. He's been a part of too many great matches over decades, someone who's highs are higher than a huge chunk of people nominated, but whose lows can be extremely low as well. SC review by Phil/Eric on his hair match vs Rey Escorpion (2015): http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2015/12/2015-ongoing-match-of-year-list_3.html GdI vs Casas/Santo by me (2001) http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2015/05/mlj-guerreros-del-infierno-12-rey.html SC review by me on Wagner, Guerrero, Euforia vs Casas, Mistico, Sombra (2007). http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2015/12/mlj-sombra-spotlight-3-dr-wagner-jr.html Singles from 2015. Trios from 2007. Tag from 2001. All really good matches and performances by UG. There's something to that. If only he wasn't so crummy in his singles title matches over the years.

I'm also guessing Robley didn't have to have testosteroe theory in his later years like everyone else. OMG is a pimp sized bump-master here! For a guy who weighs 8,000 pounds, man he was thowing his body all around the ring and to the outside. Also the entire match the commentators keep saying how much they like Robley and how sad it is that there's no way he can win. They basically start making funeral preparations for him. Which makes his comeback so much better at the end. Just a fantastic small guy/big fat guy story. Lumberjack Dick Murdoch was standing with his back to the camera with a "All japan" T-shirt on which was pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
