John E. Dynamite Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Mr Wrestling II vs. baby Genichiro Tenryu (30 years old counts as baby), GCW TV from 1980. Five entire minutes long, featuring a spirited performance of The Gap Band's "Oops Upside Your Head" by the wonderful Atlanta crowd. Tenryu visibly gains the respect of MWII with a stiff as shit chop at the halfway point. Nifty finish. The full episodes also features action and/or promos by the Funk Brothers, Austin Idol, Tommy Rich, Dusty Rhodes, Wahoo McDaniel, Kevin Sullivan, OG Minnesota Wrecking Crew, Harley Race. It might be against the spirit of the thread but the full hour vid is a bunch of wrestling machines promoing their asses off. Edited February 20, 2021 by John E.

The Network should get WrestleFest'94 up already, in the Colosseum Video Classics section, so this would get more attention. Well, I don't know if anyone would watch it, but in theory, anyway!

Curt McGirt Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 If they dont they're missing out. Spoiler Love the ending. Its face vs. face so you cant have either side heel too hard or lose clean, so they DDQ and then brawl out with a big pull-apart before the respectful handshakes. Bret getting on the mike and goading them a second time was just killer. I bet this was a Patterson finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postmatch, Gorgeous Bobby Heenan and Stevens see who can take the biggest bump for Larry the Axe Hennig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 JEEZUZ! This might be the most violent wrestling match I've ever seen. Bull Nakano is awesome as a babyface taking the full brunt of Dump's lunatic offense. Postmatch, Dump takes on THE ENTIRE BUILDING. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Goddamn, that was better than any time Hansen or Brody ever went into the crowd. Dump might as well have been swinging a katana from their reaction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 The teen versions of Akira Hokuto and Aja Kong is almost as fascinating as Bull Nakano's 80's guitar player for Vixen's hairstyle! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my new favourite match. This might be my new favourite thing. I find it hard to express how I feel about this without cursing. It makes me want to start rating matches on a five-star scale so I can give this one seven stars. It's Beethoven's 9th. It's the Ghent Altarpiece. I accept and enjoy what pro wrestling has become in 2021... but oh how I wish it could be more like this.

Tim Evans Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 This isn't the best match as it's kinda short and Tourney lucha but it's a masterclass in great diving by Ciclon Ramirez. His first dive where he lands in the crowd and takes out a lady fan's shoulder is incredible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that poor lady probably got a messed up rotator cuff. I think the reverse figure-four would probably be my second choice for a personal submission if I was a wrestler, after the Rings of Saturn.

DEAN Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 This is fucking psychotic. Dump goes crazy and then Lionness goes crazy. I don't think we'll see heat like this again because I don't think you will ever get this many pissed off 13 year old girls in one building for wrestling ever again. 80s school girls>80s Midsouth crowds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 "Now that's called heat" is the one of the best things for a worker to hear when they get to the back.

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I would not put it past the wily Gokuaku Domei to do such a dastardly deed, but was Hair Product V-Neck Babyface Ref or Squat'n'Swarthy Redslacks Heel Ref known to the fans before the switch? Was it part of an angle or typical tactic, or by inference as puro rassling fans did the teenyboppers figure it out? - RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that Richter was a lady Stan Hansen for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
