Classic match

[Warner2BruceTD]

Probably not the best match i've ever seen, but easily the most fun. Just a great sprint and collection of sick spots. The fastest 12 minutes you'll ever see.

Wanna keep this bad boy alive, soooo WRESTLING!

We raved about this back when it happened. So good.

Great Kabuki & John Tenta vs Tom Zenk & The Terminator

This is from the 1987 All Japan Tag League. It's not a great match, not really even a good one, just something random I watched that I thought was interesting.

I now realize that Zenk was a pretty bad wrestler when I watch his stuff with 2013 eyes. I never realized how bad he was when I was a kid. He was basically a non athlete with a good look who thought he was a good athlete, so he would try things that he couldn't handle. He has a nice botch in the first minute or so of this match which is a good example. This was right after his Can Am Connection run in WWF.

Terminator is the least successful Laurinaitis brother. He was still pretty green here but looked ok.

Tenta was only 24(!), and still a few years away from his famous run with Hogan in WWF. Fresh out of sumo and looking....slim. He really moves around well and pops the crowd with a nice dropkick. He was good here.

Kabuki is a few years removed from his great run in World Class where most people know him from. As the only veteran and the best worker in the match he really should have held things together, but he ends up spending the least amount of time in the ring. Weird.

As you would probably figure, these were both jobber teams in the tournament. One scored 6 points, the other 2.

Anyway, watch it. It's under 10:00 and pretty interesting.

King of Gate Finals 2013

Ricochet vs. Shingo

Anything with Shingo or Ricochet is guaranteed to be awesome

Here is a classic hidden Gem in the WWE system. Dudleys vs. Lance Storm & William Regal at the 2003 Royal Rumble. Such a fluid match, I loved it for what it was.

'05 - Benjamin/HBK

The only thing that killed Benjamin was the lack of charisma on the mic... and the glass ceiling that refused to have him higher than a Tag or I.C. Champion.

HBK, of course, can carry ANYBODY; on the rare occasion that he's in the ring with a guy that can go like he could? MAGIC.

love that match

Shelton is great when he gives a shit.

'08 - Joe/Angle

This one's for the TNA Heavyweight strap, around the time Joe and Angle were still scrapping to see who was the bigger badass.

We still have the 6-sided ring here, with a cage around it no less, as Angle in full-MMA mode goes against the Samoan Submission Machine.

Angle's still embroiled in the main event scene against the Aces and Eights and feuding with A.J. Styles...

...while Joe can't buy a prolonged push due to shitty writers and a lack of "give-a-shit" since he left the indies.

'98 - Ciclope (Dean Malenko) v. Chris Jericho

These two had one of the MONSTER feuds in WCW with Jericho using every trick in the book (and 1,004 Holds) to skirt past Malenko.

"The Iceman" had an Ace up his sleeve however when the future Y2J let his ego get the better of him in allowing Ciclope, a luchador amongst the crowd in WCW, fight him for the belt.

A few seconds later after a quick unmasking and it was on and poppin' as Malenko opened the fattest can of whupass to claim another Cruiserweight title to his collection.

Jericho's still doing outstanding work in the ring for the WWE while Malenko's working behind the curtain these days.

While the Four Horseman and the NWO put butts in the seats back in the day, it was the mid-card workhorses like these guys that kept the shows glued together.

Just got around to listen to AOW with Rollerball Rocco, and thought I'd post this match.

[Warner2BruceTD]

ROH posted this for Throwback Thursday. They release some gems, well worth the twitter follow just for that.

From Japan, Briscoes & Marufuji vs Matt Sydal, Ricky Marvin, Atsushi Aoki

Prototypical ROH match from the era. What is cool about this, is imo 5 of the 6 men were at their peaks (Aoki was still very young and just out of his young boy stage), and also ROH & NOAH were both at the end of their great runs.

To me, this was the best era of the Briscoes, Marvin's best year, Sydal's best year, Marufuji when he was top 5 on earth.

[XavierDZ]

This may be the match of the year for 2013, to soon to tell, but so far my favorite match this year.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Love that match, gave it ****3/4, just some very minor issues with selling, but honestly it's nitpicking. One of the best athletic spectacles you will ever see, a match everybody should watch.
