Video Vault 12 - Because nobody demanded it!

By -













Since I can't do an ECW recap this week (cable went out about halfway through the show), I might as well bring back the Vault for a week. Just because I can. So, uh...here's some stuff. Please watch, as I always bring the awesome. Watching the wrestling that I handpick will make you a better person. Possibly more attractive to the wimmins as well.

Dragon Kid, Genki Horiguchi & Ryo Saito v. CIMA, Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino (ROH: Supercard of Honor; 3.31.06)

This has gotten hyped *heavily* as the 2006 match of the year (so far, at any rate). And indeed, it's friggin awesome. This one will have you at the edge of your seat. If the damn thing will link correctly, that is. (28:36)

I should point out that Google video has a ton of stuff. They apparently don't have the time limit that Youtube does, either, so you can get longer matches without having to break it up in parts. And, uh...you didn't hear it from me, but someone posted the entire ROH 4th Anniversary Show. Even in the midst of me posting a shitload of stuff, I'll say that posting an entire show goes against my better judgment, so I'll let all y'all find that one on your own.

Jack Evans v. Masato Yoshino (Dragon Gate - 4.23.06)

It's Jack Evans in Dragon Gate. That alone should make you want to watch this. He gets crapped on a lot, but I think Evans is possibly the most entertaining worker out there right now. And that's coming from someone who's repeatedly talked about his general contempt for flippy wrestling as of late. Anyway, check out the cartwheel Yakuza kick. Fun, fun, fun. (11:09)

Jack Evans, Roderick Strong & CIMA v. B-Boy, Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi (Dragon Gate - 7.9.06)

Might as well make this all Dragon Gate, all the time. Out of all of the companies in Japan, this is easily the one that could truly catch on in the US. Just really fun shows from top to bottom. Lots of quick action, plenty of highflying, goofy gimmicks. The works. At any rate, this probably doesn't live up to the talent involved, but the last few minutes are great. (11:33)

Jack Evans v. Genki Horiguchi v. Akira Tozawa (Ladder Match; Dragon Gate -7.9.06)

Really short for a ladder match (in my mind, at least). This is the only one of these that I haven't seen, so no comment on match quality. Should be interesting just based on the talent involved, though. (6:20)

Roderick Strong & Matt Sydal v. CIMA & Don Fujii v. Masato Yoshino & Jimmy Rave v. Ryo Saito & Dragon Kid (Dragon Gate - 7.12.06)

Seriously...if you can't get into this match, you should check your pulse. You might possibly be dead. Just a great, balls out match. Don't be put off by the length (I hate posting matches this long, as I don't think anyone is actually watching them), as it's well worth plopping down for a half hour to watch. (32:18)

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

By -
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...
