BEN! Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 The finish of that Hogan/Rhodes match is so strange. Did Nick Patrick ever utilize his senior ref authority like that before? Hogan getting the DQ win and maybe getting the bullrope away from Rhodes and running him off would've been a fine way to end the show but him getting the quick pin in the middle just reminds me how much I hated babyface Hogan in WCW.

Cobra Commander Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 also, does Rhodes countering the big boot with a duck/clothesline get diminished any since he countered a whip to the ropes with a clothesline a minute before that? just a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerjeRUN Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Mick Foley sharing a ring with Andre the Giant, AJPW 1991 was always a weird sight to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Oh man those IGF matches just reminded me of one of the greatest abortions in wrestling history, the Predator vs. Montanha Silva. Then I went to try and find it and it wasn't even listed on cagematch.de. Maybe it's their tag together with Ogawa and Takayama. I just remember it being soooooooo baaaaaaad and us making so many jokes about it in Purotopia. Honestly it could probably be any match with Silva, who is about as coordinated as Raja Lion in the ring. EDIT: Since I didn't post a match how about this. Kanemura gets brought in from Japan just so Sullivan can carve him like a Thanksgiving turkey to the tune of many stitches.

John Kennedy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Has Cornette ever commented on that Sullivan/Kanemura thing, given how vocal he has been in the past against hardcore wrestling, that's as nasty as anything seen on ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Maybe he's afraid Sullivan would sacrifice him to his gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That was a gimmick there was tons of bloody weapons filled brawls in SMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've always taken Cornette's rants on hardcore and comedy with a grain of salt. "ECW was nothing but violence for the sake of violence" when Smoky Mountain had blood on almost every show and had plenty of weapons-filled brawls, as mentioned above. And his rants against comedy in wrestling and "sports entertainment" are also always a little hard to swallow given that he grew up in a territory where tar-and-feather matches existed, midgets were often on the undercard, and he had his face shoved in a cake god knows how many times, not to mention the birthday party for his poodle he always references when he talks about Ole Anderson turfing GCW Superstars. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, here's Dan Severn vs Tarzan Goto in a match that was eighty times better than it had any right to be, and has to easily be the best "pro wrestling" match of Dan Severn's career: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wish I could find the full match of this, but could only find this brief music video. Basically, it was announced in advance as Dustin Rhodes vs Christopher Daniels, but they both "caught food poisoning" on the day of the show, so this was the replacement match... I still find it stunning that no indy to this date has booked Curry Man vs Matt Classic in a battle of the masked wrestling stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I absolutely hated that Sullivan/Kanemura match back in the day. I just thought Sullivan was a total asshole for butchering him and letting him have almost no offense just to advance an angle that had nothing to do with WING. Anyway, I'm going with the random tag team of Hulk Hogan and Iron Mike Sharpe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tNwjKQcvA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Stoopid phone, why you no let me put up El Generico vs. 1-2-3 Kid in Chikara? It was random for me because I was almost certain Waltman would no-show KOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
