Ditch Decades 9
This set includes:
- Andre The Giant vs Osamu Kido/Haruka Eigen NJPW 5/25/79
- Akira Maeda vs Super Tiger UWF 9/11/84
- Genichiro Tenryu vs Ric Flair WAR 9/15/92
- Steiner Brothers vs Kensuki Sasaki/Hiroshi Tanahashi NJPW 5/2/02
- KENTA vs Yuji Nagata GHC Championship NOAH 12/7/13
I recommend Maeda/Tiger Mask and Tenryu/Flair. Maeda/TM is pretty much the top of mid 80s shoot style, which isn't really full on shoot style like you'd see in the 90s, but more of Inoki strong style but much stiffer. The two biggest UWF stars with two different styles, and they have something pretty rad to watch.
Tenryu/Flair is interesting. WAR/WWF cross promotion. Flair was WWF Champion and had wanted to do a match with Tenryu at Starrcade 1988. It's 2/3 falls and is Tenryu's longest match. Their styles are very different, but brings both guys out of their comfort zones a bit. Flair was far more snug and was doing a number of moves and counters that I'd never seen him do before or after. It completely fell apart in the last 5 minutes or so, but the 35 minutes before that were pretty rad. Probably the lost Flair gem of the 90s, since it was never seen outside of Japan. It's much more of a Flair match than Tenryu, but it isn't the rote Flair formula either.
Nagata/KENTA was extremely disappointing.
Steiners match was more enjoyable than I would have thought, mostly because baby Tanahashi got his ass kicked. And Chyna was the ref for some reason.
Surprisingly, the Nagata/Marufuji match was a lot better than the one with KENTA - I haven't really enjoyed his work since he became the top guy in NOAH, but the WWE style will provide the restraint he often lacked.
I felt like the match being too restrained is what hurt it. That and the near silent crowd. But you'd expect those two to knock the shit out of each other and it really wasn't that kind of match. It was just...bland. The double stomp from the top into the crowd is a really stupid idea. Either you kill the dude, or hurt yourself not connecting. There is no good out come for that move.
His knees are still feeling that.
I wonder if Vince is still pissed about not getting to push Ryback like he wanted to, and so now he shits on everything Hunter brings up as revenge.
And he's right to. Fucking Roman.
And I think Hade was a Pritchard idea. Just like Pritchard thought Roadkill should have wrestled Undertaker. Wut.

I still hate that they didn't let Ryback go for a midcard title first instead of Punk's belt. Fucking Punk!

Conspiracy time: Cena faked the elbow surgery to give Ryback the spotlight knowing full well it was too early and there was literally no one else besides Cena worthy enough to be in the title picture.
Then you have that Cena/Ryback feud that did jack shit for Ryback as well...
man fuck Cena, Ryback could've been a pillar for the company.
When he isn't asked to carry a main event singles match he's a very serviceable character. He started to show some improvement on the character side when he became Rybully and he's a good member of a tag team. It's a combination of him getting better the company figuring how to better use him.
Besides, 2014 Ryback is Roman Reigns and people do dislike him because he's overexposed and in a position he doesn't have the ability for right now.

A Bryan/Ryback program would've been fun as hell. They worked well together. Albeit, everyone works well with Bryan

Outside of making it look like it has the same continuity errors of Samurai Cop, you're right it's no big deal that they used multiple interviews for this. The real problem is that they have all those interviews filmed, and they add absolutely nothing to the program. It's just a bunch of random soundbites filled with buzzwords, and politically correct answers that you can spot a mile away. I personally wouldn't have minded if they scrapped this version of the program, aired the Nitro episode, and waited until they had a much more adequate budget(although this was made when they weren't suffering from budget cuts) to create a more detailed rundown with recent interviews of all the main players in the "Monday Night War" giving new juicier stories. Like I wouldn't mind knowing what the thought process of whoever booked the insane John Nord Vs. Barbarian match.
This was from the gauntlet match on Raw last year that had the awesome Bryan/Cesaro middle section. It could have ended up a lot worse than it did. And that was like two weeks before Summer Slam so an injury would have fucked up the main event.
I like Ryback where he is now, but he was sloppy as a singles guy.

He's already fucked. I can't help but think they only reason he's being put into a program with Mojo is because they know the NXT crowd will cheer him over Mojo and he'll be over for beating him up.

I feel kind of dumb for not realizing it was legit that Rusev and Lana are in a relationship.

I wish I had the stamina to call out bigots whenever they surface on GAF. I feel guilty for stepping away to regain my strength before diving back in, because it's a luxury women and minorities don't have.

I wish Da Big Guy well in his recovery.
And fat, pasty body. And lame as fuck finish. How can you push a guy like that when you A. Have Steen coming in, and B. Have Rusev on the main roster
It's a work brother, they believe heavily in Kayfabe in Mother Russia.

Jaysus seeing Sunny now compared to what she looks like in the Monday Night Wars interview....depressing.
Jay Hunter is right. She needs a hug and a cup of tea.

The fuck are you seeing?! They call him Purely Sexy for a reason babay
Anyone here listen to The Attitude Era podcasts? The Wrestlemania 2000 episode just got released.
I like to pretend this is hosted by Chris O'Dowd of IT Crowd and it makes it all the more enjoyable.

Heyman taking about Cena and all the potential his charscter Has is hilarious
I listen to all of the OSW spinoffy type shows. Attitude era is probably the best of them. New Generation Project Podcast is pretty good too and someone else started up an NWO era WCW one.
EDIT: Did you say Wrestlemania 2000? Is there a gif that explains the main event of that show?

I'm listening to it right now. Just passed Hardcore Holly calling Cole a shithead + threatening to break his ass.
EDIT:
Where's the Thirsty Paige .gif?
Was this guy ever any kind of athlete?
"Just like I changed it for the WCW when I became the first (CENSORED: Black Man(?) to put that belt on. Oh they said it would never happen. Made a lot of people mad to see me walk out there with that belt on but guess what I did? Made 'em even madder because I went out there and continued to kick ass. "
