RIPPA Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Couple of housekeeping things first 1) Chris's Great FMW Match List 2) Previous FMW related WOTD: MR. GANNOSUKE HEADHUNTERS I could have sworn I did Mammoth Sasaki but I can't find the thread if I did. Anyhoo....I will let you all pick from the Gladiator/Tanaka feud. I will post this match against Oya since I don't think I am going to squeeze Oya in this week. http://youtu.be/ZXhQxyK3uJo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't see it on the Youtubes anywhere, but their White Plains match where Awesome won the title back a week after dropping it in Nashville was tremendous live. An all-out sprint. Ray and I were in the back row of the building (I'd bought the tickets that morning and I'm pretty sure we literally bought the last two available seats as the joint was packed to the rafters) and it was a blast.

cool arrow Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Awesome had a really fun spotfest against Big Titan (Nise Razor Ramon) in July '94. I used to have a handheld tape of that show, and I recall Titan busting out a Backdrop Driver and a top-rope Frankensteiner. God damn, I miss my wrestling tapes...

Curt McGirt Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm gonna be a dick and post one of the most ignominious moments in Mike's career (and there were many) and then be nice and post something that is so FMW it out FMWs anything else FMW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdnyrKIwOp8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it on the silver screen with my boy Duckman when it aired and we marked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Because of this thread I FINALLY watched the One Night Stand match with the JBL drunken commentary. His trolling is so incredibly racist and typical of the character -- "That's my doorman!" Which of course is probably exactly how the real JBL thinks and acts. He was also perfectly critical of the match. When Masato got powerbombed through the very corner of the table I yelled "FUCK!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I had to keep watching. When Tommy Dreamer comes out JBL says "That's the main event!" TROLL MASTER. Oh god. On Sandman: "Somebody send the truck driver some oxygen!" "This could be awful." "Are we out of beer? I gotta B double E double R U N I gotta be drunk for this one." "Who were those other fat guys out there?" "Somebody run Mike Awesome in and do one of his 93 finishes." "If they make the black guy go get the table I'm gonna be hot." "Here comes the most boring man in the history of boring! Lance Storm couldn't fill an arena if you gave away free beer with free tickets." "Kurt, who's the ho?" "When does FedEx come in here for their drivers?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well I looked around youtube and this is kinda fun for a five minute Nitro match...Vampiro even takes the Tanaka bump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 God - i wonder what the best Mike Awesome in WCW match is? Vs Jeff Jarrett at Fall Brawl 2000 or vs Kanyon from Slamboree. His WCW run was not bad as far as his in ring work goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
