Holy shit is this match great. Hoshiki versus Hazuki for the Wonder Of Stardom belt. Watch two little gals beat the living dogcrap out of each other. IN FRENCH! Drink every time he says "Ooo la la". C'est magnifique! ---------------------- For the Brave Gate title! Susumu Yokosuka versus Flamita!

No, it's from later this month. keep an eye out for it and get your bets in!

Great Sasake and Cassandro in 1992.

This match is awesome. The unemployable dirtbags of Basara defend the home turf against the super-unemployable dirtbags of DOVE. The weirdly hot large crowd makes me wonder if this is the largest audience these Dove guys have ever performed in front of. ---------------------------- Hey! Stardom posted a match from late August. Aging perverts, get your Hanna Kimura lifesize love pillow oiled up. ----------------------------------------- Rampage Brown versus Shigehiro Irie!

Oh yeah.

Mije throws a dropkick! KRAAAAAn-OOOOO crushes Polvora on the floor.

A wee British Bulldogs match. -------------------------------------------- Oh man, more Killer Khan!

Moonshine Mantell has a good little match against Mysterious Q. ---------------------------- From earlier today, DRAGON! GATE! UNDER! CARD!

So Denver is the North Carolina of the West. This is like a old OMEGA match- if only the crowd was drinking beer and smoking cigarettes as opposed to drinking beer and smoking weed. -------------------------- Jayzeus! This is perfectly fine lucha opening match until at 11:50 when Espiritu Maligno OPTS to hit a fucking full-blown Chris Hamrick bump to the floor. So fucking balls out. EDIT: Also hang around for Volador Jr out-highflying fricking Dragon Lee.

Hennig in AWA was Barry Windham 89 level good. He fell way off when he went to the WWF. Hey, just like Windham. And Martel in WCW was a big part of the glorious six or seven months where the US title was the best division in America.

Also remember that Adrian Street started wrestling in 1957, so I'm sure his old man was used to it by this point.

I loved that Thatcher/DBS match. Now I want to see Thatcher vs Lawler and Thatcher vs Low-Ki. And the Von Erichs/Contra stuff was fucking beautiful.

Oh man, this match was on a Dave Scherer comp back in the day.

HAYATA won tourney so he gets a shot at Minoru Tanaka's belt. -------------------------------- Good golly! The lucha tradition of bleeding through the white mask. ------------------------------ Another title match for the belts! Kinda.

More Hideki Suzuki in NOAH, in the dream tagteam with Sugiura. -------------------------------- This match is awesome. My sleazy indie match of the year. ---------------------------------------------- This is wild. This could get really fun.

Geez louise! That was a bloodbath.

Adrian Street with his coal miner father in 1973.

British Bulldogs versus Kobayashi in 1985.

This is a fun little match. I assume the Junta mini-push is over. ------------------------ I have seen the future of Lucha Libre and it is giant fatboys- Kraneo and Volcano, being technico mattresses for high-flying, athletic rudos to land on. (Mije is present but completely invisible.) ----------------------- Awesome. The Cancerbero gang is on the tv.

I hate three way matches so I fast forwarded through this whole episode.

Marufuji versus Kotaro Suzuki from earlier today. ---------------------------- Lumpy NOAH guys beating the crap out of each other. ------------------------- Enjoy some Dragon Gate undercard from earlier today.

Andre versus Strong Kobayashi from 1972.

Awesome! Go Shiozaki against Hideki Suzuki. ------------------------------ Some Dragon Gate! R.E.D. vs a wad of super strong machines. FOR THE BELTS! -------------------------- Chris Ridgeway in NOAH!

Future fantasy Contra Squad member, Katuhiko Nakajima, takes on GHC champion, Kaito Kiyomiya. ----------------------- HAYATA takes on Tadasuke for the semi-final of the Junior tournament.

Sometimes folks forget how awesome Ted DiBiase was.
