Video Vault 18 - Another One? Already? CRIKEY!

By -

















Yeah, with no ECW to recap today, I'm bored. I'm planning to work on another recap later, but I wanted to put up a quick VV for two reasons...both the Misawa/Marufuji GHC title switch and Angle/Joe II from this past weekend have officially hit the net and that's notable enough to warrant an immediate post, methinks. Found some other stuff of interest as well. I'll try not to post every match ever wrestled this time around!

Mitsuharu Misawa v. Naomichi Marufuji - GHC Title Match (NOAH - 12.10.06)

This is loading as I type this, so it'll be a while before I get to sit down and watch it. Meh. The reviews I've read have said it's good, though. Not great...but good. One has to wonder why Misawa is taking the title back, though I'm so out of the loop on the puro that perhaps he's just bridging the gap between Marufuji and their next big choice as champion. Beating Misawa theoretically means more than beating Marufuji at this point, so that makes some sense. Remains to be seen. At any rate, Misawa looks grumpy as hell when he comes out, so I'm hoping for a surly old man beatdown. (41:31)

Kurt Angle v. Samoa Joe II (TNA: Turning Point 2006 - 12.10.06)

This is also just starting to hit the net. It's alternately getting MOTY buzz and a bunch of people are saying it's not all that great. Watch it and decide for yourself, I guess. (25:26)

Extreme Elimination Chamber (ECW: December to Dismember - 12.3.06)

At this point, any match with the combination of Big Show, Lashley and Test is a match I have no desire to see. At all. And Punk/RVD apparently both go out early, making things even worse. But yeah...you might want to see it. (37:24)

Necro Butcher v. Homicide (ROH: Ring of Homicide - 5.13.06)

Violence! FUCKING VIOLENCE! Another fun Necro brawl. Has a big chair riot near the end that's worth seeing even if I hate that shtick. Really hot crowd, though I'm not sure that will come through if you're watching it on your PC. Anyway...Necro Butcher: Wrestler of the Year 2006. Yeah, I said it. And I absolutely believe it, too. (13:23)

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
