Last Wrestling Match You Watched

[The Icon 152]

Yokozuna, by dumping first Backlund then Randy Savage. The savage spot was funny as he tried to pin him. Intentional or blown spot?

[Guest Edgehead]

Wasn't 93 the first year where the winner got a Wrestlemania title shot

[The Icon 152]

It was yes. The year before the rumble was for the title. Then from 93 on it was for a world title shot.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Yokozuna, what a champion

[The Icon 152]

His first run was terrible. (Lasted 7 minutes). His second had some good moments but not many.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I have to watch my rumbles, Wrestlemania and summerslams from those years.

Don't bother with WM or Slam 93 they were God awful ppvs. King of the ring was fairly good as was Rumble.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Didn't Bret win KOTR in 1993?

[The Icon 152]

Bret sure did. Seek out Bret vs Perfect from the tourney it was great.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I think that's one PPV I have never seen

[GENE 86]

Just watched Rick Rude vs Ric Flair from Fall Brawl 1993 and Don Muraco vs Roddy Piper both on Vintage collection.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Christian/ADR, Summerlam. A very, very good match

Would have stolen the show on most ppvs. Amazing a match this good was only a distant third

[Guest Ciaran The King]

One of WWE's best matches of the year

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

AJ Styles vs Austin Aries, Impact 1/8/13

 

I tried to watch this twice when it happened and got interrupted both times, so I finally saw the whole thing. Really good match for the style, if "Working Specifically To Get "THIS IS AWESOME" Chants" can be considered a style. But they worked a good pace, kept up the back-and-forth/Even Stevens narrative all the way through, laid in some hard shots and took some nutty bumps outside towards the end. Finish is a piece of sh*t, but whatever. Definitely one of the better TNA matches of the year.

Polvora vs Titan, CMLL 1/1/13

 

Today has been Watching Pimped Non-WWE Stuff Day.

 

I am someone who loves lucha when I see it in WWE, and kind of doesn't love it when it is actual lucha. There's just something about lucha that I don't quite get yet, although its probably because I've seen less of it than everything else and it is kind of an acquired taste.

 

ANYWAY, the point is, I'm not even a huge lucha fan and I LOVED this. Bunch of cool spots, crazy bumps and spectacular dives in this, too many to name really, and that is all I really want out of lucha. Seriously recommend checking this out.

I'm watching the Legends of Mid-South Wrestling DVD and have just finished the Coal Miner’s Glove Steel Cage Tuxedo Loser Leaves Town Match with Jim Duggan taking on Ted DiBiase.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

That is an excellent match. Everyone should watch it if they haven't yet.

[DC 536]

The whole DVD has been great so far.

 

Also, that stipulation alone shows that WCW and TNA's excess was not a new thing. :lol

 

EDIT - Forgot to mention that the finish is probably the best one-punch knockout shot (outside of Big Show's run of out-of-nowhere KOs... especially the "hot tag, BAM, knockout" on Shad Gaspard) you're likely to see.

Sticking with the Mid-South DVD, I've just watched The Midnight Express v The Rock 'n' Roll Express from May 1984. No Disqualification, two amazing tag-teams, Jim Cornette at ringside and a white-hot crowd make this unmissable.
