Video Vault 10 - It's on like neckbone, sucka!

SMAAAART MAAAARKS!

So, yeah. This is mostly a crutch I use when I'm not writing to make it appear like I'm contributing something. Shh...it's a trade secret! But I'm bored and people might actually watch some of this stuff, so I'm here to provide entertainment to the masses, even though I have started writing more regularly again. If by masses you mean the 1000, 500, 100...8 people who regularly read this, of course. (note: this rough estimate might be overstating our readership by as many as 8 people)

Lex Luger v. Bruiser Brody - Cage match (Florida Championship Wrestling - 1986)

This is the infamous match that turns into a shoot as Brody doesn't particularly feel like selling for the rookie. He also has blades taped to all of his fingers. Not nearly as dramatic as it sounds, but I suppose it has some historical value. Especially to a "smart" fan, I guess. And yes, the referee is none other than Bill Alfonso. (7:58)

Necro Butcher v. Low Ki (Part 1 - 8:25)
Butcher/Ki (Part 2 - 8:28)
Butcher/Ki (Part 3 - 8:37)

This is from the IWA:Mid South show "We're No Joke" (4.1.06). Brutal, brutal match and it lived up to all the hype going into it. Necro makes vintage Cactus Jack look almost sane. The big Ghetto Stomp from Ki in this match needs to be seen to be believed. Watch this match. Believe the Necro hype. The new age of brawlers has arrived...

Steve Regal v. Fit Finlay - Parking Lot Brawl (Nitro - 4.29.96)

Speaking of brawlers, watch these two kick the ever loving shit out of one another and smile at the beauty of it all. I don't know...all the flips in the world can be really entertaining, but the simplicity of punching a dude in the face is what's drawing me as a wrestling fan these days. It's really a lost art. (7:07)

Barry Windham v. 2 Cold Scorpio (WCW - Clash XXIII - 6.16.93)

Awesome match. It's a shame that Scorpio is all but forgotten in the US at this point. He's possibly the most underrated aerial wrestler of the last 15 years. Windham is one of my favorite two or three workers ever, so posting this is a no brainer. (16:58)

Brian Pillman debuts in ECW (Cyberslam '96 - 2.17.96)

Whenever I see one of my favorite promos pop up I feel compelled to post it. This certainly fits the bill. Pillman shows up in ECW, trashes Eric Bischoff, threatens to piss in the ring and tries to kill a fan with a fork. What's not to love? Pillman was ahead of his time. (8:37)

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...

The 2009 post

None of us type into this here blog thing very often, do we? Are we too busy? Too lazy? Too stupid? I speak only for myself when I say ALL OF THE ABOVE! But hell, I think even I can manage one post a year and this is it! Actually, this is all shit that I've already posted elsewhere over the past year, but cut and paste is one of my many skills. I don't even remember watching some of this stuff, but yeah...here you go. I finished the first disc of the '08 Champion's Carnival (covering the A Block). Lots of good stuff here, with a ton of stories woven through. You have Kojima's injured lariat arm, Kea busting his ass like crazy, but not being able to eke out a win, Tanahashi just generally being a douchebag (in the best way possible!) and Mutoh/Kawada bringing the veteran presence. Favorite match so far was probably Mutoh/Tanahashi. Tanahashi dicks it up, eventually going to work on Mutoh's gimpy knees. Mutoh makes the comeback to show the young buck how to proper...
