Video Vault 13 - Because someone *did* demand it!

By -
















As you'll see, the first match I'm posting will totally justify this entire post. As soon as I saw it, I knew this was going up today. That I'm bored out of my skull and my PS2 is broken had nothing to do with it. I swear! Anyway, most of the matches on my "master list" that I made so I wouldn't have to search for stuff each time I wanted to do a VV post seem to be gone. A big hearty fuck you to, err...copyright laws, I guess. Heh. Expect to see a lot more puro, as that doesn't typically get yanked.

Great Muta v. Tajiri (AJPW - 8.26.06)

Oh man. I wish this would work on my PC because this is absolutely a dream match of mine and like...a million others. Guess this'll be one of the handful of puro shows I buy each year. (26:45)

KENTA v. Bryan Danielson v. Samoa Joe (ROH: In Your Face - 6.17.06)

There's a slight freeze in the middle of this, I guess, but it's supposed to work fine after that. Anyway, this is awesome. As the talent involved would indicate. (33:41)

Brainbusters v. Rockers

Now I think it's pretty obvious from recaps and what I post here that I'm a ginormous fan of tag wrestling. More so than just about anyone, really. It's also obvious that I'm a huge Midnight Express fan and that I consider them probably the best team ever. All that said, I've been watching a bunch of Anderson/Blanchard stuff over the past month or so and damn, were they ever good. Somewhere along the line, I seem to have forgotten just how good they were. Bad Shane. (9:25)

Moondogs v. Jerry Lawler & Jeff Jarrett

More and more, I'm getting the feeling that there are a ton of people out there who think that ECW started the concept of "hardcore" wrestling. That's far from the case, as the Memphis territory(among others) was doing the wild, unhinged brawls long before ECW even existed. Here's one of them and boy howdy does it ever look hurty. (9:58)

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...
