Return of the return of the video vault - random edition!

Necro says hi!

Figured that I'd bring this back, because NO ONE DEMANDED IT! Heh. It's become just a 'lil bit harder to find decent stuff on the Tube, but I try. This is just some stuff I liked. Perhaps you will too!


Necro Butcher vs. Samoa Joe (IWA-MS: Necro vs. Joe II - 1.12.06)

What more can I say? It's the sequel to my favorite match from 2005. The first one is better, certainly (not to mention that they had the novelty of a first meeting with no one knowing what to expect), but I think people are too hard on this one. The first match played to the Philly crowd. This one plays to the Midwest crowd. Different crowds entirely. ROH has booked Part Three, so this feud still has some legs.



Mike Quackenbush vs. Claudio Castagnoli (CHIKARA: Negative Balance - 8.13.06)

Claudio is just so entertaining. That he's an excellent worker on top ois just icing on the cake. The series with Quack showed off how versatile both guys are. You have a Swedish guy working a European style versus an American guy who works like a Luchadore filtered through the goofiness of CHIKARA and what you end up with is a hell of a match. If you don't enjoy CHIKARA, you're dead inside...



Quack vs. Claudio (CHIKARA: Running in the Red - 11.13.05)

This is the rematch to the prior match. Also a super, super match.



Kenta Kobashi vs. KENTA - 3.5.06

Actually, I haven't watched this yet. Read decent reviews from those who have, though.. It ends with a Burning Hammer, so Josh, at least, will dig it. Because he's a head drop whore. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

As always, if you find yourself digging this stuff, you can pick up both IWA-MS and CHIKARA shows from http://www.smartmarkvideo.com. Support the indy wrestling and the indy wrestling will support you. Or something.

Video Vault #21 - More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

The flurry of Heart Punch activity continues, as I bust out a Video Vault post, just so I can say that we had new content every day for a week. Because that's certainly worthy of merit, right? RIGHT? Chris Hero & Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Akuma) v. Mike Quackenbush & ShaneSaw (Shane Storm & Jigsaw) (CHIKARA - Return of the Son of the International Invasion of the International Invaders: 1st Stage - 8.19.06) Spreadin' the CHIKARA love! Seriously...if you can watch CHIKARA and not *love* CHIKARA, you might be dead inside. I'm about to dive into the King of Trios shows tonight, so huzzah to me. And, uh...this match is heaping helpings of awesome. Just watch it. Necro Butcher v. Roderick Strong (IWA:MS - Hurt - 3.24.06) Not as fun as most of the Necro "dream matches" that have happened over the past year. Which is odd, as you'd think Roddy would be the perfect guy to beat the shit out of Necro (because really…that's what most of these matches amo

Wrestling Society X #5

By -
Two recaps in two days? Perish the thought! What are the odds that I can make it through all six shows without skipping a day? That would be nutty. -Tonight, The Filth and the Fury faces Team Dragon Gate. 6-Pac answers Human Tornado's challenge. Arik Cannon debuts versus the also debuting Delikado and Ricky Banderas SPEAKS! -Opening montage. - Jibbs performs. -Clips of the fireball angle from the last show. This leads into the Banderas promo (w/subtitles, even though he speaks decently clean English). Apparently, Vampiro is the cause of his facial scarring after he rigged Banderas' coffin to explode. What is it with Vamp and exploding coffins? He promises Vamp that his days are numbered. Team Dragon Gate v. The Filth and the Fury - Teddy Hart and Yoshino open with a quick armdrag sequence. Hart takes control, taking him down with a Russian legsweep and picking up a two count. Both guys tag. Genki tackles M-Dogg, then takes him over with a hiptoss. He charges, but gets elevated

MTV's Wrestling Society X - Pilot Episode (1.26.07)

By -
So, the great MTV wrestling experiment has finally arrived on my television. What I expect going in: Zero. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. At best, it'll be stupid spotty fun that feels like it flies by in seconds. At worst, it'll be stupid spotty fun that's so stupid that it'll wrap back around to awesomeness. Seriously, I think this show is an absolute no loss formula. Great roster of young guys, a few vets that can still go and fuck…it's New Jack . NEW JACK! On MTV. In 2007. That's quality right there. -We get some goofiness right off the bat, as MTV doesn't seem to know which show it wants to play. We get a minute or so from the preview of this coming season of Two-a-Days, then switch to your regularly scheduled Wrestling Society X programming. Weird. Tonight, Matt Sydal squares off with Jack Evans and there will be a ten man WSX Rumble to determine the two men who'll go for the WSX title next week. Also, Black Label Society . -Speaking of BLS, here they a
