  1. From Wikipedia:

     

    In the late 1970s, Fujiwara became embroiled in a feud with Allen Coage (a former Olympic judo bronze medal winner who had debuted as a pro wrestler in NJPW, and one of the first gaijins to be trained at the NJPW dojo) over the petty issue of who had the strongest head. Fujiwara would bang his head repeatedly against the ring's corner post's metal face to provoke Coage, and behind the scenes, Coage would advise him not to do so repeatedly, in fear of suffering permanent real-life damage.

     

    This sounds hilarious and amazing. Is there any footage of Fujiwara vs. Bad News?

  2. Jack/Jerry Brisco vs Dick Murdoch/Adrian Adonis (MSG, 12/28/84)

     

     

    Shawn Michaels/Diesel vs. Razor Ramon/1-2-3 Kid, Action Zone 1994

     

    YES to both of these as I've seen them both in the last 6 months and they're fresh on my mind. Very different from each other but they're both classics that I would put in my top 50 WWE matches of all-time. There's at least one more great Murdoch and Adonis match from MSG, I think. I need to rewatch the match vs. Sarge and Terry Daniels and the match vs. Backlund and Brian Blair.

    Vordell getting a tryout is cool. If there's anyone left on the indies that I could see being a major star in the WWE, it's him.

     

    Really?  I haven't seen him in years, but I thought he was too old to break out at this stage and way to short to make it in WWE.

     

    He's definitely getting a little old but I always assumed he was around 6'2" or so. Maybe it's just because the indy nerds I always see him matched up against are like three feet tall.

  4. I don't think he's worked for them in like 8-10 years. I don't see the point of him getting booked at this point. I guess maybe he'll still bump like an idiot and curse a lot and make funny faces. yeah, what am I saying, he deserves to get booked all the time.

    Watching WM24 today - just have to say Flair/HBK is the most overrated match of the last 10 years. So many old man botches, Flair sucking wind the entire time. Good finish, great emotion, and good showing for the old dog at the time, but not an objectively good match. By comparison, HHH/Orton/Cena 3-way is damn good and way better than I remembered. Much better match than Flairs.

    Silliness.

     

     

    The problem with this is 'objectively good match' can't just mean 'technically sound' in our beloved sport of fake drama fighting. Of course Ric Flair wasn't capable of having the best match of his career that night- this was all about story and emotion, which you point out was great. It was pro wrestling's version of the relationship montage in Up.

     

    I guess I just don't agree that these things are separate or that one is less valuable than the other. 

     

     

    I can recall a couple of matches with Dusty Rhodes and Superst*r Billy Graham that were off the charts for emotion; and let's face it, neither of those guys is exactly Tanahashi in the ring.  So, when you get right down to it, a technically bad match can actually be pretty enjoyable.

     

    Yeah, Dusty Rhodes is no Tanahashi *does the jacking off motion*

  6. Well thanks for admitting that you have nothing better to do.

     

    The really fucked up thing about this is that you're old enough to be my father.

     

    EDIT: I apologize for feeding the troll. He offended me with his *gay bashing to compensate for his own stifled homo-curiosity* routine.
