Video Vault 22 - blah, blah, blah

By -















I'm working on a recap of PWG's Battle of Los Angeles shows from 2006 but, obviously, they ain't done yet. So here's some stuff to watch to tide you over in the interim...

Takashi Sasaki v. Yuko Miyamoto - Scaffold Deathmatch (Big Japan Pro Wrestling - 3.14.07)

Early candidate for Match of the Year and one of the better deathmatches I've ever seen. Not a fan of the DM style at all, but I can certainly appreciate them when they're done well. This is pretty brutal, but even beyond the weapons there's a killer match at the core.

Takeshi Morishima v. Homicide - ROH Title (ROH - Fifth Year Festival:Philly - 2.17.07)

Whatever your thought is on the booking, it's hard to deny that Morishima is a KILLING MACHINE. I'm curious to see how this all plays out and won't really bitch about it unless it all goes south from here.

Ring of Honor v. Combat Zone Wrestling - Cage of Death (ROH - Death Before Dishonor IV - 7.15.06)

The big blow off for the entire ROH/CZW feud. I didn't like it as much as most (I believe I referred to it as an "overbooked mess" in my best of 2006 post), but that's not to say it doesn't bring the violence and wrap up one of the better feuds of the year. Watch it and decide for yourself!

Mike Quackenbush v. Jerry Lynn (IWA:EC - A Need to Bleed 2007 - 2.7.07)

Haven't watched this because the DVD is actually on it's way. But yeah...it's Quack/Lynn. How could it *not* kick ass? This is from IWA: East Coast. Basically the sister promotion to IWA:MS and run by Mad Man Pondo. They have some fun shows if you don't mind sitting through the hack and slash stuff to get to the fun.

Undertaker v. Batista - World Title (WWE - Wrestlemania 23 - 4.1.07)

If you haven't had a chance to see this yet, here you go. Who knew Batista could still have a match this good? People pretty well snickered when he did the interview saying that he and 'Taker would steal the show, but damn, did he back that shit up in the ring. Awesome match.

Mokujin Ken v. Mecha Mummy (CHIKARA - King of Trios: Night 3 - 2.18.07)

And now, for something *COMPLETELY* different...

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...

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...
