As for nicknames - Iron Demon is... umm... interesting... He appears to have a never ending feud with Kongo Kong - which isn't necessarily a bad thing

So the goofy gift of Kesuke Sasaki and Akira Hokuto got posted in the GIF thread and that made me thing of them and be sad that neither wrestled anymore (Plus I am pretty sure I picked both already. Sasaki I definitely picked when he retired.) So Katsuhiko Nakajima it is. CLOSE ENOUGH~! http://youtu.be/jOOejO6Cf3Q http://youtu.be/mIA7hOLZM68 http://youtu.be/dEPUKAvELLc For too many of his matches are broken up into like 3 fucking parts on Youtube

Talk about a name I haven't thought about in a month of Sunday's. Don't even ask me how I thought of him for today. If you had told me Mustafa would be working in 2013 I would have called you a dirty fucking liar Anyway - there are a bunch of Gym Wars online that Boyce worked - I am just too lazy to figure out against whom and when in the video

My first choice today was Satoshi Kojima put I already picked him (click the link to see all the matches no longer available. Stupid internet). Genki Horiguchi also has a birthday today and will be a fine replacement... maybe... Of course - he seems to work for all the feds that having having content online http://youtu.be/4fbhnUqjfWA http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x296o7v_ryo-jimmy-saito-jimmy-susumu-genki-horiguchi-h-a-gee-mee-c-vs-yamato-naruki-doi-cyber-kong-dragon-ga_sport

I truly forget about Aries for months a time because basically the way TNA treats him too. Of course - when you are looking for footage on the internet it is nothing but fucking TNA matches http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6w05q_samoa-joe-vs-austin-aries_sport

I should do an entire week about people no one has heard of/cares about. Poor poor Ryoji Sai. So in that vein - I double down with a WOMAN LUCHADORA~! In theory - I shouldn't just post lightning matches but I am also lazy BTW - as a complete aside Zeuxis is the real fucking deal and really should be Dean's favorite wrestler

HI FELLAS~! REMEMBER ME! I WON A FIRE FESTIVAL ONCE! WRESTLING IS WEIRD! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2dit3f_daisuke-sekimoto-vs-ryoji-sai_sport And speaking of weird... Sai can be linked directly to Mirko Cro Cop if we did wrestling 6 degrees of something... God Bless you Hustle

So today is the 20th anniversary of the first Nitro. There were only three matches that night and funnily enough I have already picked 4 of the 6 guys who worked that night. However - it does allow me to finally burn Lex Luger as a pick since he was the person part of the most "shocking" moment. God Luger has shown up in a bunch of our threads already

http://youtu.be/8huGsYVQwJg Yup... that's JT Southern

So today is the anniversary of ECW forming (going by it being the date of Shane Douglas chucking the title) So looking at that show it reminded me that Osamu Nishimura fucking worked ECW. God I love Osamu Nishimura God I hate ECW http://youtu.be/tMfNpqp9PT4 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lhhzk_black-cat-osamu-nishimura-vs-nobukazu-hirai-yuji-yasuraoka-war_sport

It's Joe's birthday and he is a perfect "No one really gives a fuck about Wednesday" type guy http://youtu.be/iCHqlqRNAX0

Animal Hamaguchi is motherfucking old today. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgopjz_jumbo-tsuruta-vs-animal-hamaguchi_sport http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ltrex_animal-hamaguchi-genichiro-tenryu-koki-kitahara-vs-gedo-hiromichi-fuyuki-jado-war_sport

Today is the anniversary of The Big Event which was headlined by this (It is also the anniversary of Summerslam 89 and the Clash that had that stupid Inoki/Regal match.) http://youtu.be/5cbO3lClPSQ

The man with one of the most ill-timed ACL tears...

I could have SWORN I picked Ayako Hamada before but my list and searches say no - so here we go. Commence your pleasuring yourselves. Wait... nevermind... http://youtu.be/FiiQ663HgA8

I can't not begin to tell you how funny I find it that one of them is named Harlem http://youtu.be/A3QPaV_V0BA

Yes - today is Vince's birthday. No I am not picking him. Shane however has always been fun. Lord knows why he had a death wish. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4j4a4_summerslam-shane-mcmahon-vs-test-st_sport (Bad VQ, English announcers) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxxjq7_shane-mcmahon-vs-test-summerslam-1999-german_sport (Better VQ, German announcers)

This covers all Von Erichs real and fake - except Lacey who I already picked http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2784-wrestler-of-the-day-lacey-von-erich/?hl=%2Bvon+%2Berich I am at a work retreat so I can't find Youtube videos but really - do you need me to do your dirty work for you? I mean I can't even get the fucking url to work properly right now

I took a few weeks off from WOTD since August tends to be hellish on my schedule (and it won't get much better shortly). I also took a break as folks don't seem to care. (Judging by responses). So we shall see how longer this soldiers on. Today is an interesting day as it the birthday of Paige AND Cheerleader Melissa. Clearly - I would have been picking Melissa... if I hadn't already. http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1396-wrestler-of-the-day-cheerleader-melissa/?hl=cheerleader So Paige it is - which is somewhat appropriate considering DIVA REVOLUTION~! STEPH IS THE GREATEST PERSON EVER~! For the record - no Total Divas stuff. Let's stay with the wrestling.

Okay - here is the deal. I fucking love Andre. Andre also passed away on my 18th birthday... which is today. (My birthday... not the 18th one. God - if only it was my 18th birthday.) I decided that in celebration of my impending doom - I was going to highlight some of my favorites this week. In one of the NXT threads - Matt asked me what my favorite Andre matches were. The answer might honestly be "almost all of them". Clearly I am not going to revisit the jobbing to Warrior in 30 seconds ones or the Japan matches during his last days on Earth ones. I mean - while sad - his early 90s All Japan run provided at least goofy matches (like Andre in a tag match against Foley) so they had that value. If I every introduced some sort of "You Must Watch These 5 Matches Before Being Able To Post On This Board" system - Andre vs. Stan Hansen would be one of those 5. I thought about not including it here because of how cliched that would seem. But it is fucking Andre/Hansen and you don't need a fucking excuse to watch it. http://youtu.be/bp0Wo7hLTIE While embarrassing to look back at. I am glad that my moment of discovery of this match was recorded thanks to this very site.

Today is Great Sasuke's birthday. He is 46. He is also gassed out of his mind. But - I could have sworn I had picked him already but it seems more like he just shows up in everyone else's threads. Plus this match happened today too - so its like the Universe was saying "you must pick Sasuke" http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6cjms_ultimo-dragon-vs-the-great-sasuke-p_sport http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6cjuz_ultimo-dragon-vs-the-great-sasuke-p_sport http://youtu.be/PlOPoyrty7Y http://youtu.be/uAWdEjCRrdE

Not to be confused with the cyclist or apparently the boxer of the same name

He is 36 today. Hopefully the Superstars/Main Event tapings pay well... Hey! Look who the ring announcer is... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1f35sw_adam-rose-debut-wwe-nxt-3-6-2014-480p_sport
