I did travel to UFC 6 at the Cobo Arena in downtown Detroit to see Severn vs. Shamrock. I thought it was brilliant, a 30:00 broadway. The crowd was irate, and I was laughing. What a value. We had Coney dogs afterwards and many shots of booze in Hamtramck. That guy in the second match who got ate up by the guy in the white pants looks just like Cezar Bononi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Random question: Does anybody have a link to or know where I could find that classic Japanese wrestling music video set to Aerosmith's "Dream On" from back in the early 2000s?

Thanks! All those videos were on ClickWrestle for a hot second. I haven't found many of then since. However, I did find the G1 Climax 2001 one set to Beautiful Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Random thing I thought of trying to fall asleep last night: what's the oldest extant lucha libre footage? Do we have anything from the 50s like we do with US and Japan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have anything from the 50s like we do with US and Japan? That's a really good question, I bet @RoyLucierwould know. Total shot in the dark guess, but I'd bet that if anything does exist, it's probably EMLL stuff from the late '60s at the earliest. I don't know a ton about that time period of lucha outside of the big names, but I do know that sometimes complete results don't even exist for shows earlier than that (so I'm just logically assuming there's not much tape) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Not quite the same answer, but I wonder how much footage there is of luchadors working in the US before say 1970, in places like Texas, Arizona or California. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 They had more camera angles in that match than some Japanese promotions have in 2022. Not trying to be funny but are we sure that wasn't shot for one of Blue Demon's movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, that wide shot at the beginning was awesome, I love the perfectly circular building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 A friend and I were joking about Keith Lee and his intelligent vocabulary. It got me thinking they should start a thing with him where he says famous catch phrases from the past, but you know, Keith Lee style: "If your olfactory senses can pick up the aroma of the dish that Dwayne Johnson is currently preparing in his kitchen!" "That is the final word on the matter because Stephen Austin did decree it as such!" Etc 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 First Indy show for me in over two years. Kinda strange to think about all the people who I used to see who are now in AEW/IMPACT/NXT Got to see Toa Liona pretty much eat Ray Rosa for lunch. Best match was Wolf Zaddies (Latino Meat and Bad Guy Tito) v Lucas Riley and Dom Kubrick. Dom is no longer working his gay Joey Ryan which is probably for the best and Lucas Riley has really filled out (TM Good Ole) Last time I saw him he was about 130lbs, He's gonna show up on one of the bigger shows now. He's always has the skill and he's getting the physique. Would love to see Wolf Zaddies v FTR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
