Video Vault 9: To Infinity and Beyond

Hey champ!

ECW week continues. I can't believe how split my feelings are on this whole thing. Guess we'll have a better idea of what's up a bit later. If nothing else...AL SNOW RETURNS! Okay, so I'm the only person on the planet who cares about such things.

Sandman v. Sabu - Dueling Canes (ECW: Living Dangerously - 3.1.98)

Fun stuff with RVD in this one. Essentially, all of the Sandman/Sabu matches were exactly the same (and not terribly good at that), but they always delivered on the stunt show aspect of the ECW product, if nothing else. (10:32)

Public Enemy v. The Gangstas - Cage match (ECW Heatwave '95 - 7.15.95)

What's there to describe? Public Enemy, one of the best garbage teams ever versus a team featuring NEW JACK, in a cage filled with weapons. Pretty much speaks for itself. (17:32)

Sabu v. Mankind (Terry Funk's Wrestlefest - 9.11.97)

I honestly don't remember this match. I have the show, which was tacked on to the end of some other tape that I wanted. Don't know if I ever even watched any of it other than the Funk/Bret Hart match. Anyway, it's Sabu v. Foley. I'll wager that it's worth watching. (9:59)

Tajiri v. Psicosis (ECW - 8.20.00)

This is quite possibly the best match in ECW history. Better than any of the Tajiri/Crazy matches. As good as, if not better than the Malenko/Guerrero matches. Just an awesome, awesome match. (15:55)

BONUS: It's not a match or anything, but I figured that, with ONS 2 coming up, I'd post Jerry Lawler's ECW debut from Wrestlepalooza '97. Crowd goes friggin' INSANE and Lawler plays his part perfectly. And that cane shot to Dreamer's nads? Let's just say that the scream is real, as Dreamer had to have fluid drained from his testicles afterwards. There's a snippet of info no one really needed to hear!

ECW vs. WCW starts real soon. So, uh...watch this stuff later. 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

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...
