If we did that, folks wouldn't even have to go chronologically, would they? Sounds like quite the undertaking, though... even though I already have a spreadsheet going with my ratings... Maybe I'll figure out how to do a shared Google doc spreadsheet or whatever and post it one day.

I humbly request for one of you veterans to give this rookie some good wrasslin to watch. Time period and country are inconsequential, I just wanna watch some good wrestling for once in a long time

Yeah, just an idea, Google docs is pretty easy to do. Are you putting ECW events into the mix when they show up?

Fuck me, Shinsuke vs Zack was REALLY freaking good. One of the best matches I've seen live and Nakamura was totally amazing, seriously check it out when the DVDs released. YeaOH!

1999
Dreamcast is released in Europe and USA
at WrestleMania XV, for some reason, the brass decides that having Bart Gunn vs Butterbean is a good idea.
Butterbean does what he does best and knocks the fuck out of Bart Gunn.
Bart Gunn gets fired and what everyone knew is shown to the world: wrestlers are pussies who can't beat a fat guy.
2003
Dreamcast is dead in Europe and USA
Butterbean is in Japan for Dynamite, the end of the year japanese MMA extravaganza. his opponent: 5'9, 154lb Genki Sudo. while most men feared Butterbean's right hand, Genki Sudo mocks it.
Butterbean is being exposed cause HE'S FAT. Genki Sudo, transcending time and space, goes for a dropkick.
Butterbean's whale like movement on the ground is not match for Sudo's BJJ mastery and the big boy is quickly submitted via heel hook.
yes we are, Neo Samurai, yes we are.
japanese MMA lightweights > Butterbean > pro-wrasslers

You can celebrate father's day without wanting to be a dad yourself. A better observation would be "This coming from the guy who lets Randy Orton beat up his dad once a year."
If you don't mind committing 20-30 minutes to a match, I'd recommend the following:
Bryan Danielson vs. Kenta - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOXflTy9weQ (28 minutes...athleticism YAY)
Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U28pyOAMXcI (29 minutes...AMAZING match)
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect 1993 KOTR - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekt-m1LNWIM (23 minutes)

are you going to post Inoki vs Antonio, in yet another case of a japanese master beating the shit out of a fat gaijin?

Incidentally, people who buy front row seats yet insist on standing up repeatedly: fuck you.
There was some team called 2 Unlimited at the show, so floppy, so indie, so Irish. The finish was one of the dudes doing a 450 off the other guy's shoulders (who himself was on the top rope) then the second dude did a corkscrew swanton for the pin. Insanity.

Inoki would be terrified of Tenta. When Kitao tried to shoot on Tenta, Tenta looked mildly annoyed at best. Coulda turned his whole body into Sid's leg at a moment's notice. Inoki be like

that's a work, friend. even Takada could shoot for a single leg and break Tenta's leg if shit got real. in a real fight Tenta would be Zuluzinho/Wakashoyo/Bobby Ologun tier.

That was their theme song and also the major chant of the match. They were a bit sloppy, but pretty innovative.

Revolution Pro, they've got Okada coming on October, should be crazy.
I'm getting to see the whole New Japan roster, one UK wrestling show at a time
Earthquake was one of the few monster heel of the year who ever really got over the idea that this man could beat Hulk Hogan. Impressive as hell.

You should tell the rest of UK WrassleGAF about these things, so we can all go and sit in on our own and never meet up or acknowledge each other.

Nice! Enjoy it, man. Are you getting to meet the stars too?
Yeah, it's amazing how far they've fallen since this. The commentary at the start about the X Division being the cornerstone of TNA, or something similar, just makes me depressed now too.

Another video that depresses the fuck out of me.
If all that Undertaker shit turned out to be legit plus giving him one of the worst chairshots to the head since Stevie Richards hit one to JBL then..I don't know what to say. Undertaker can fuck off for letting that happen knowing how much sway he has for storylines.
And here's the chair shot. Disgusting.

Some sad shit. Over here in America we take FLIGHTS to see each other. You slobs get in the same goddamn arena and don't even say hi. Fucking horrible.
Shame on you all and I really hope for your sakes you fix this problem. It is a problem. MEET. GRR!
I'm feeling amazing today, how are you?
Nah, Tenta would have channeled the Gorilla Spirit and made a fool of the best strikers in the world*
* not the Undertaker
John Tenta vs The Warlord @ WAR
This is two god dman mastodons right here. Not some 5'10" 'submission specialist' who drinks goat milk. Also the worst thing about Tenta's curtain is the way he flips that shit. Like he thinks it's all that.

Since we're on the subject of Inoki,
I've done my research. I've recently watched a bunch of his matches due to my boy Jack Brisco being involved in them, and I've come to one conclusion.... Inoki matches are boring, and I can't finish a single one of them.
He did have a good look though.
EDIT: WARLORD KICKED OUT OF THE SPLASH. WARLORD KICKED OUT OF THE SPLASH
Sunny, I'm beginning to understand what you mean about the muscle shaming. All the IWC is like 'eh warlord sucks. eh he's just a roid hoss who can't do any moves not like my favorite wrestle chris candido ehhhhh' but he's awesome. He's solid and he has an amazing look, and sometimes that's all it takes. He just perfectly suplexed Tenta and did an easy bodyslam on him. Simple big man match, but the crowd was eating it up.

Just finished that Rude/Steamboat match that Dragonzord linked. Hot damn that was a good match. I love how Steamboat hitting Rude with the gutbuster early on basically dictated the rest of the match. Rude NEVER stops selling the ribs (that failed taunt ha) Also, the commentary just made me hate today's joke of a commentary even more. Focusing exclusively on the match, giving their opinions and strategies, it was as close to sports commentary as you could get. Ventura is everything modern JBL fails to be. That top rope DQ was weird, I couldn't imagine what wrestling would be like if that was the norm.
