Are we counting the baby goat that came to the ring with Hillbilly Hills as a manager? Because out of all the managers and valets on that show, I thought the baby goat had the brightest future out of all them. PS yes, the guy doing the hillbilly gimmick on this show brought an actual baby goat to the ring with him. Unfortunately the goat was taken to the back once the match began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the goat was taken to the back once the match began I haven't watched that far yet but was definitely hoping that "& goat" meant just that. A gimmick I could also see working in rural Ohio indies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 How that NJ match wasn't automatically flagged is beyond me Of course they took the goat to the back, it would have started eating the ring apron, they paid good money for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously hasn't seen much but it's still entertaining. Sawyer has a nice splash. Cornette and JR are good on commentary and the jobbers get destroyed in fun ways.

Curt McGirt Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Bob Backlund vs Masakatsu Funaki [1989-05-21-UWF Japan] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU8XXwgaGHw Mr. Bob Backlund after the fight: Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Finally watched it last night and I'm not sure how cooperative it was. Bob already had the black eye going in, but Funaki just laid into it the whole time. Twice Bob laid in a nasty elbow to settle Funaki down, but he just kept at it. Finally they did the keylock lift to the top rope that's a favorite Backlund spot, but Funaki dropkicks him from the second buckle to get DQ'd? Feels like it was pre-planned but also feels abrupt and cheap. In any case, Bob is probably as stubborn as he is crazy, because he took bookings in freakin' BattlARTS down the road after this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I just watched Ikuto Hidaka versus Super Crazy from ECW on dailymotion. It's a 7 minute file including entrances and a commercial break and it's still the most action-filled awesome match of all-time. I would accept pay to watch it for the rest of my life. Holy cow, those two... ECW SuperCrazy vs Ikuto Hidaka - video Dailymotion Edited March 18 by Horatio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I don't think he stuck around long but Hidaka was a fun addition to ECW's juniors scene to break up the Tajiri/Crazy/Guido series. Great sprint of a match too, built well, both guys looked good, and it ended at the right time 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I can't get on DM on Google, but wasn't that a house show match on a Schneider comp? Funny that the funniest part of the dirty Brain and Gorilla was relatively tame (Gino saying "Good, because he sucks!" ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great sprint of a match too, built well, both guys looked good, and it ended at the right time Well put. Not to spoil it for those who like surprises but I could tell from the moment Hidaka got seriously SLAM'd by a 'judo-style hip-toss' that this was going to be a heavyweight performance from both guys. Hidaka's great offense was solidly sold by Crazy (being a true professional - truly makeing it clear why Eddie did the job for him in R.O.H.), but he was seriously outweighing Hidaka, and it was clear by the way he appear'd to jump to the top-rope faster than one can imagine; he almost springboard'd before his feet hit the top-rope (that's what it look'd like to me - I only watch'd it once). I mean, who would get up from a straight pancaking moonsault like that? Undertaker? Kane? Someone "already dead so you can't kill'em"? They even got into the crowd for a few moments to cater to the Extreme audience in attendance that night, but it never felt like a crowd-pleasing performance as much as a do-or-die opportunity for Hidaka. A beautiful match that makes one wonder what Rey and Prince Puma accomplish'd in L.U. by useing up more time, as I kind of remember they did.... Vampiro vs Lex Luger - Monday Night Nitro the night after Uncensored 2000 Lex Luger vs Vampiro - video Dailymotion I wasn't aware that this match took place, but I had to see it. I'm researching Vampiro because he's always had the tools to be the best in the world, and also, Lex is kind of who I lean on to see solid, tight pro-style in 90's wrestling (I love his 15-minute draw against Tatanka, for example). It's a 9-minute clip but I sat through the entrances and Lex (looking larger than ever with Elizabeth behind him to boot) makes a cute comment about the Vamp's inexperience but Vampiro shows up in the ring while it's dark, (and then someone turn'd the lights off again for a second accidently), but Vamp was gung-ho and suprise'd Luger anyways. [spoilers]He hits a spin-wheel kick and an enziguri, some chops, a good atomic drop (something I never say because I never see it, but Vamp is 6'3" and Luger is looking heavier than Triple-H's 270; plus Luger is shorter than Triple-H so the atomic drop seems to give one the idea that 'atoms' are 'testicles', at least pit'd by these two in a rare dynamic ratio. Gosh, I sound like Bill Nye the Science Guy...), but when he goes for a top-rope hurican, Luger hits him low and then something cool happens: he lifts the Vamp for the Human-Torture Rack but instead, unkindly turns it into a back-suplex in mid-move. It's hard to tell how or why, but visually it appears like heel Luger want'd to torture the rookie just to prove he's the vet. He starts stomping the Undead-guy; kicking him in the ribs, even point-of-the-toe like Dean said he saw Finley doing one time. Luger looks a mix between Kurt Angle and Triple-H in this and it's intense if not sickening considering the pills he claims to have been takeing at the time, but I digress; I am a fan of his work. He kicks him some more in the ribs and almost hammerfists him in the back of the head just to get a moment to catch his breath. He sends the Millie-Vanilly former bodyguard to the ropes only to use that momentum to make a gorrilla press-slam even simpler. And he holds the Ghoul in the hair for longer than he needs to just to give him a chance to survive, I guess.... There's 4 minutes left in this clip and I'm already sold that Luger is an even better heel than he was against Tatanka in '93. I'm talking best-in-the-world just from a psychological perspective. I'm convince'd he thought he had it all with Elizabeth by his side. It's jarring to think of in hindsight. Just to note, I'm surprise'd Vampiro went up for the press-slam as he runs to the ropes with vast energy...Let's see how it ends.... Alright, so Luger continues his onslaught: throws him to the outside, double-axhandle to the back that appears to push Vampiro a good 6-7 feet in the guard-rail, hits thigh-slappy loud knee-lift while back in the ring, and then takes too long putting on the Torture Rack. Vampiro backflips out of it, and although he doesn't land on his feet, he's back on his feet and kicking Luger in the chest within a millisecond. That's what I love about Vampiro. He has a reverse wheel-kick where he spins and kicks with the instep of the foot instead of the heel and he always looks like Bruce Lee, Bruce Le, or Bruce Li, when he does it. This one I was bum'd to see him land on his face but I literally blink'd and he was kicking back by the time I open'd my eyes. Ian throws the Total Package to the corner and hits a running lariat Roman Reigns style, and then throws him into the opposing corner, and does a Sting-style handful-of-hair bulldog off the ropes. He basically gets me marking for using familiar offense and then hits an X-FACTOR on Lex Luger to win hearts and gentle people for all eternity. Running shoulder-block next and then, he goes to the top for what I think will be his old super wheel-kick off the top, but instead does a hard flying clothesline and for a nice nearfall. He should have done his go-to finisher, but instead, he does a makeshift move (one of Kane's for further interest) and that was wisdom, because Lex is wiley and mean not just gonna walk into a flying wheel-kick. It basically ends there, except you want to keep watching for greater theft by Vampiro and violence by Luger with his excercise tool.
