Random Match Generator (again)

[BillThompson]

A replug for my other wrestling blog. For whatever odd reason a lot of people starting sending links my way and asking me to review matches for them. I'm humbled that people would think my writing was worth seeking out, but on Blue Thunder Driver I only review matches I think are great. Thus I had the idea for Random Match Generator. You send something my way and I'll review it. I've reviewed a lot of stuff so far, and lots of CHIKARA because lots of people hate me. Don't care who the wrestlers are or what the promotion may be, if you send me a request to review a match I will review it and give it a fair shake. (I had very positive things to say about a Tozawa match for instance). I don't do whole show reviews in general, but you send me one to review and I'll review it. A few regulars from here, like Case, Goc, and Parv have sent me stuff to review, and I gladly welcome any and all new suggestions.

Caveats:

-- I need to be able to easily access the match/event somewhere online.

--If I've previously reviewed it I'm not going to write it up again, sorry.

--If I end up thinking it's a MOTYC then the review will appear on Blue Thunder Driver and not Random Match Generator,

If any of this appeals to you then stop by, read some reviews, leave some comments, and keep the train rolling by suggesting some stuff for me to review.

I wouldn't mind seeing a review of this.

 

Franz Schlederer vs. Franz Schlenz, Austria 1985, Austrian Volksfestcup Final

I pimp this match any chance I get. It was the first time I saw 4 of my favourite guys on the UK scene live and it's such a fun match. Tyler Bate was only 16 here, and still showed loads of potential.

 

[BillThompson]

All have been added to the list

Here you go,

 

Henchmen vs Bate/Brookes

[NotJayTabb]

Said it on Twitter, but wanted to repeat how much I dug the review. I agreed with pretty much all of it. It's not a MOTYC or anything, but it's just a fun, well-worked tag match that goes just about the right length.

Here you go Parv, my review of Baba/Brisco.

Hey Jet, any info you can provide for this match, ie; date, venue, promotion, etc.?

[Jetlag]

The event was organized by an outlaw group, meaning it's not CWA. Appears to be the finale of some tournament. The date is 1985. That's all I know.

[BillThompson]

Okay, thanks

[BillThompson]

Hey Jet, finally got around to your match. Here's the review, Franz Schlederer vs. Franz Schlenz.

Always enjoy your reviews of these matches Bill, as on the whole I feel your tastes are similar to mine.

Thanks for the kind words. We do seem to align more often than not, and as long as this project keeps exposing me to interesting wrestling that I've never seen I'm a happy camper.
