Infinit Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Holy shit. A healthy Dynamite vs 1996 Rey would've been soooo good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 We would have gotten Russo writing a bit where someone threatens Dynamite Kid with a fistful of quarters though. And then a roll of quarters on a poll match. Tony Schiavone would act like it's fucking murder to use them while Larry Zybisko or someone else shits all over it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite vs Shark in that Carson City Silver Dollar match from BATB ‘96. Amazingly, an awful match, on a pole, NOT involving Russo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 A World Class film starring McConaughey as Kevin Von Erich(Or maybe one of the fake Von Erich’s to make it more interesting) would be one hell of a pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 For those interested Quote WWE is doing something different this year with two PPVs in between Rumble and WrestleMania instead of one. For the first time in many years, they are doing a non-Mania March show, and only doing four weeks of direct Mania build instead of the usual seven or so. The Elimination Chamber PPV will be 2/17 in Houston. They are also doing a Fast Lane PPV on 3/10 in Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I rewatched Goto vs. Ishii from G1 Climax last night. I don’t know if it’s the match of the year or not, but it’s fucking amazing. Probably the most “strong style” match I’ve seen in quite a while. I’m not even crazy about Goto or Ishii, but it really sucked me in and I was feeling every single hit. I loved that there were only like three actual wrestling moves in the entire match, and the selling by way of no-selling. It might be my favorite New Japan match, even over the obvious 5 stars+ matches. I really liked ZSJ’s run in the New Japan Cup and his match with Okada, too. And the Ishii v. ZSJ Rev Pro title change Wrestlemania weekend. What are the other hosses beating the hell out of each other matches I missed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I like Ishii a ton but never cared at all for Goto. But that was a wonderful hoss battle. Not sure if it's my favorite as I do love the 5+* matches. But it is a go-to recent match if I want to show a friend a good ol' hoss battle.

Beech27 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Goto/Ishii from the G1 is great, but it's... maybe my fourth favorite Ishii match from that tournament. Him versus ZSJ is a fun study in contrasts; and him versus both Ibushi and Omega are, to me, nearly perfect violence spectacles. (But I mean, G1 is Ishii Season. There are no wrong choices, really.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many matches during G1, I don't think I ever got to all (or most of them). I was disappointed with the Omega / Ishii - I think they've had better matches before (Honestly, post title win I've been very underwhelmed by Omega). I must have blanked on the Ibushi match.

I just thought about Ishii/Ibushi and holy fuck was that tremendous. For the Ishii matches I saw during G1 that might be either on par or better than his Goto match. You had Ishii being Ishii and it led to Ibushi bringing this intensity that just sucked me in. I would definitely check out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
