sabremike Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 A public service for everyone who plans on visiting Rob Black's restaurant in Rochester: DO NOT ORDER THE CLEVELAND STEAMER. (Seriously, just trust me on this.) 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Biggest shock ever in all my years watching wrestling, Brock Lesnar defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX but it's up there in my time viewing different sports as well. The Streak ending at WrestleMania XXX. 21-1. Daniel Bryan overcoming the Authority to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship defeating Randy Orton and Batista got the crowd back. I don't think anyone else would. Edited March 30, 2023 by The Natural 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that match exists, but here's the 6/15 one. You don't mean the Bash match, do you? That's 7/14. It's probably going to get taken down before long though.

I feel like everybody who doesn't find a way to bleed at a show called Bloodsport should be invited to the front of the building to read the marquee. This isn't a Mox thing, it's an everybody who didn't bleed thing. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Not exactly an earth-shattering insight or anything, but: enjoying Bloodsport this morning followed by Multiverse (TNA vs Japan) early this afternoon REALLY brought home what a wide variety exists within the very specific parameters of "professional wrestling." Despite the fact that fully half a dozen wrestlers appeared on both shows (Bad Dude, Coughlin, Speedball, Kratos, Cobb, Uemura) the two events could not have presented a more wildly different vision of pro wrestling. Strikes, suplexes, and submissions - nothing that looked like it wouldn't work in actual martial combat - on the one hand, and endless contrived and crazy and wildly imaginative spots on the other. Olympic-level amateur grappler Jeff Cobb early this morning, and power fighting, forearm strike exchanging, member-of-The-Empire-faction Jeff Cobb a couple of hours later. And BOTH were totally entertaining! Pro wrestling is just so great! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) I haven't seen the latest yet, but I've always been really into the concept of these Bloodsport shows - I think if someone with money got in there, it could be the next Lucha Underground (in terms of the 'fight club' feel and ability to plug into an episodic format - not like they run every night or every week) Edited March 31, 2023 by Zakk_Sabbath I just had a vision: Freddie Prinze Jr.'s Bloodsport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the matches that aren't all that great are at least interesting to watch. The style is different and unique enough, that it doesn't blend in with all of the other wrestling out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard agree - like almost a more-accessible/digestible Pancrase, or something (perhaps not the best comparison, but outside of that and a handful of UWFi matches I've seen here or PWO over the years, I haven't watched a ton of worked shoot stuff in earnest - I guess technically speaking, maybe some PRIDE fights I didn't realize were works at the time...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
