Video Vault #21 - More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

By -





















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 amount to). The final spot is fairly cringe worthy, though, so I guess there's that.

"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson v. Mike Quackenbush (IWA:MS - Ted Petty Invitational 2004 - 9.18.04)

Haven't seen this one in ages, but I remember it being a really fun, mat based match with two guys who can work circles around pretty much everyone. Quack should be the poster boy for pro wrestling. Just so good at what he does, but really humble about it. One of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. And it stands out even more so because of the business he's in...

Low Ki v. Davey Richards (IWA:MS - Ted Petty Invitational 2006 - 9.30.06)

These two seem inclined to murder one another. Enjoy it while it lasts. Seriously, these two trade some strikes that make you just cringe. And the goofy part is that they seem to enjoy it. Pro wrestlers are some strange creatures.

Samoa Joe v. AJ Styles v. Christopher Daniels v. Charlie Haas (1PW - No Turning Back, Night One - 1.6.06)

I've never seen this one, but adding Charlie Haas to a mix of guys that, while rather stale when paired together, never fail to produce a great match can't be a bad thing at all.

The Great Muta & Tajiri v. Gold Dustin & Hakushi (AJPW - 2.17.07)

Well, *this* is entirely random. And who knew Dustin Rhodes was in All Japan? Probably people who actually follow puroresu, that's who. If Muta/Tajiri isn't the coolest tag team in the world, I'm not sure who stacks up.

Unless something CRAZAY happens, this is probably it from me this week. So look forward to your weekly F&A fix, as I'm sure Matt will bring the insight. With no WSX (although now, apparently, MTV2 *might* air the finale, if not totally unannounced), I'm trying to scramble for a topic to write about. ECW doesn't interest me much and Impact is abysmal. Oh, how I miss Jackked and Heat showing up on my television to bring the quality wrestling I so enjoy.

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...
