This seems like a good opportunity, Data West, to show our young friends who have grown up on MTV, The Young Bucks, and Yes chants what real pro wrestling is all about. I will start with Antonio Inoki vs. The Great Antonio.
smh poor Antonio. Wanted to slap box with God and got rekt.
That's a recent one, we're good to go.
Do you REALLY want to know?

That DDT tlc match was a lot of fun and the production was really major league, clearly I need to forget everything I've ever though about their product. Also I don't know what it is but I enjoy watching Jun Kasai when he is in matches that don't involve exploding mouse traps and barb wire cockrings. Has such a Cactus Jack is gonna kill you vibe that is reminiscent of the Cactus/Vader era.

I haven't heard this expression in darn near 20 years.
I was 4 the last time you heard it. Feeling old now?
None of the Ogawa/Hash matches are online anymore it seems. They probably took them down because they're too close to snuff.
He's extremely charismatic and likeable. Along with his very unique look, I'm not a deathmatch fan, but I'm a huge Jun Kasai fan. It's a combination of admiration and fear.

I do my best to link to the must see matches, but then i only get like 3 replies so i only bother linking them to Sunny or when slightconfuse asks for some recommendations. Seriously people, watch more matches with Rush and Negro Casas.
Here's a recommendation and one of my favorite feuds in CMLL right now
Dragon Lee vs Kamaitachi
It's slowly heating up and Dragon Lee is a great spot monkey who is fucking insane and is probably better than his brother Mistico II. It should make for a fun mask vs mask match next month

This is the type of stuff we look for in a monthly ot thread title, Sandman.
So IGF wants Brock still because Inoki clan has the biggest boner for Lesnar. I didn't even know IGF was still around.
He didn't take that well but with NOAH's roster the way it is now, he still takes better than KENTA or Marufuji. Before Suzuki-gun, he was the top heel in NOAH. I'd argue he still is. He's a great wrestler, but he has shitty presence. Kenou and Ohara help with that a ton.

Here is Dr. Death vs. Wild Thing Steve Ray, young bucks. The story, which came out so long after the fact that I suspect it's a retroactive angle that someone is trying to work because pro wrestling people are scumbags, is that Herb Abrams suspected the Wild Thing was banging his wife, so he hired Dr. Death to stiff the shit out of him.

While there's no footage of this, Lou Thesz has a fantastic story about wrestling Karl Gotch one night and getting his ribs broken. Thesz suspected that he was being set up for a double-cross, so he took Gotch down and choked him out, which is incredible considering Karl was a catch wrestler.
Wrestling used to be good, young bucks.

I thought Meng's toughman reputation came from behind the scenes rather than in the ring.

Wow, so you have little recollection of pre-9/11 America. That's sad.

One thing that I dislike about the attitude era (Now that I'm watching some of the ppvs of the era), and Stone Cold seems to do this a lot, is going out to the entrance area to just walk around and do some shitty spots. Nothing out there ever really makes as far as an offense strategy, and it just seems to drag the match on. It just makes for some sloppy wrassling.
Yeah, but that just means there would have been some tough guy who wanted to 'prove his badassery' a la Maeda trying to shoot on Andre that would have set Meng off.
Perry Saturn's shoot they ask him about all the badasses in WCW in a room together. Steiners, him, Williams, Finlay, Regal, Norton, Duggan, Meng, who would survive? And without even thinking, Perry Saturn, decorated Ranger who no sells bullets, immediately says 'Oh Meng would kill us all. He might let Barbarian live, but we'd all be dead.'
This is specifically a thing for Austin because he has to work around his neck. He changed his moveset afterwards to compensate it and the brawly Attitude Era style resulted from it.

Even Nintendo isn't immune to glitches.

Sometimes I wonder, you see so many people saying how NXT is the perfect solution to a shitty WWE product, but as much as I enjoy the specials it's a product I struggle to muster up much enthusiasm for week-to-week unless there's a match featuring dudes who I'm a fan of for their work elsewhere. I think it's fine if NXT provides people with all the quality wrestling action they need each week, but this attitude that it's the be-all and end-all of wrestling does a disservice to the wealth of easily accessible, quality promotions available in this day and age.

NXT - "indy guys" = Not very good.
HHH was at least smart enough to know that. Interested to see what it looks like when all of these people are on the main roster.

I don't see much in NXT either. I mean, Fin is clearly the future. And I like the guy whose catch phrase is something like "my friend is 7 feet tall, and that's something that can't be taught." But there's so much bad shit in that promotion, and I'm not even talking about the fans.

Yea, I started noticing things like that, especially with Shawn Michaels in the WM14 where he pretty much worked with a fucked back.
Corbin vs Owens will be terrible.
And Corbin's hairline is 2 years away from halting his push completely in its tracks. I think aside from the 'big 5' of which at least 1 is leaving soon, the other is off tv, their roster is very poor to me. Itami hasn't found his footing yet. I like Kallisto but Lucha Dragons has been incredibly disappointing to me when I catch their matches. Their tag division is bad. I think Tyler Breeze does nothing special with the gimmick he has. It's fine when you look at it for what it is, developmental. But a lot of people don't look at it for what it is, developmental.

This is the closest i've ever seen to a lucha shoot
Dinamic Black vs Fénix
Dinamic Black decides that the handspring cutter is a stupid move, Fenix responds by not tapping to Black's finisher and Black deciding that fuck it, ima break your shoulder is the correct response. The match gets crazy from there with dudes just deciding that theyre kick the shit out of one another

Which is a shame because most people know him for his brawling style, when he was a damn good technical guy before Summerslam '97.
He just needs a bandana, BROTHER.
More than good. He was great. There was a period where Austin and Scott Steiner were the two most athletically gifted wrestlers in professional wrestling. Which is hilarious to think about now.

I would love a monthly non-WWE wrestling topic. Because most of the time everything gets lost in the sea of WWE talk. I want to discuss SZG invading NOAH, more LU, Evolve and so on, but if the right people is not online when I post about it the message gets ignored.

Steiner before and after megaroids looks like two different guys. Old Steiner looks like a guy New Steiner would shoot on and utterly destroy, like he did with Flair.
