RIPPA Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 God... I am glad that Tiger Jeet Singh is a better human being than me and he has given so much back to the community but Jesus Fuck - Fuck him and his ability to ruin everything. So many matches that should have been so so so much better if almost anyone other than Singh had been in it. http://youtu.be/XEt4AuUtHdI I mean he made Abdullah be the fucker worker of that team. How is that even fucking possible???? Now if he had punched Inoki in the face more I would have been a lot more forgiving... Let's all watch him be in the King of the Death Match Tournament AND DO NOT A GOD DAMN THING.. well except just hit Terry Funk for 10 minutes with a sword http://youtu.be/V1FMZlIIDSQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimLivingston Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 That still with Harley is awesome. Like they're into the match a couple minutes and Singh comes over only for Harley to say, "Why the fuck am I in this match with you? I should knock you out." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP Steve Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Never seen much Singh, but that tag match really did just grind to a halt as soon as he tagged in. The opening stretch made me think that a Blackwell-OMG singles match would have been all kinds of fun. Is there one out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Any progress on the concept of editing together a bunch of TJS matches to create an actual good Tiger Jeet Singh match? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening stretch made me think that a Blackwell-OMG singles match would have been all kinds of fun. Is there one out there? There's the telling fact. The parts of the match with the slow plodding 300+ pound workers are far more compelling and better paced than any part of the match that includes Singh.

GojiColin Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This man made HUSTLE matches un-enjoyable. HUSTLE Where even the worst matches had train-wreck potential. Tiger Jeet Singh is sub-train-wreck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not even the awesomness of Harley Race and his afro can make TJS rise above ridiculously shitty. Rippa and I talked about this last night and we both agree that the only thing the tag match accomplishes is that it piques your interest into whether or not One Man Gang and Jerry Blackwell ever squared off in singles competition. The best parts of that match are the ones where Singh is not in the wrestling ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Part of me wants to edit down that big Kawada vs Misawa match into something that would be really great. I bet Zeidler and I could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Tiger Jeet Singh... I am a better professional wrestler than Tiger Jeet Singh. There. I said it. Me too. Fuck that guy. Not one redeeming thing about him. Won't sell, won't job, selfishly takes 99% of the match, and he's just a goddamn horrible wrestler whom I've never seen have a match which wasn't completely awful. What's with all this "wonderful human being" shit? Has he done a buncha charity work or something? Whoopty doo, that still doesn't make up for him being a frontman for the Yakuza and totally being a mobbed-up carny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Jingus, it's all sarcasm. As someone who is horrible at picking up on sarcasm, even I know that Tiger Jeet Singh is a real-estate hustling, mob-backed piece of reeking shit that needs to be banished to the end of the earth. Damn, I think Rippa picked the one guy that makes me upset to see as a WOTD. With the obvious given exception. EDIT: Oh god, he has done the exact thing all gangsters do to cover their tracks -- philanthropic work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Jeet_Singh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I remember buying the IWA King of the Deathmatch tape as an 18yr old having read Foley's autobiography and being really excited for the carnage that I'd be seeing....then being bored to tears by Singh's tedious squash of Mr Gannosuke as the opener. Horrible wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
