Hello everyone,
It looks like im back to post about a few more matches from my Wrestling dvd collection :) it's been a while since ive last posted, so hopefully you guys will enjoy this post :) Im still trying to get abck into the groove of posting, so hang with me lol.
Extreme Championship Wrestling - December 9th, 1995 Mikey Whipwreck(c) VS. Steve Austin VS. The Sandman
Triple Threat Match for the ECW World Heavyweight Title
This match was pretty crazy lol. Before the match even started, Steve Austin attacked The Sandman in the back locker room , which caused The Sandman to miss most of the match. The rules of this match were typical triple threat rules, but in ECW they used the elimination rule - which means that once you are pinned/submitted, you are eliminated from the match, and the match continues until there is a pin/submission between the last 2 wrestlers. Steve Austin had just been fired from the WCW wrestling promotion and he burst onto the ECW scene with alot of fury and picked fights with everyone and talked trash about everybody he didnt like lol. He wasnt in ECW long, but while he was there he blazed a trail a mile wide lol. This particular match was pretty cool because mikey Whipwreck was a major underdog, and Steve Austin was an established wrestler from a bigger promotion looking to destroy the opposition by any means neccessary, and he did just that. Steve Austin made short work of mikey Whipwreck with 3 piledrivers (one on the concrete outside of the ring) and his finishing move back then - The Stun Gun. While i was watching this match, i thought they were going to award him the ECW title, since the Sandman wasnt able to compete, but The Sandman dragged himself to the ring and was able to upset Steve Austin for the win and the ECW Title.
NWA Chi-Town Rumble February 20th, 1989
NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match
Ric Flair(c) VS. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
This is absolutely one of my favorite matches ever. The chemistry between Flair and Steamboat is clearly evident in this match, and it is one of the greatest technical matches ive seen thats for sure. Watching both of these men in their prime go against each other is probably the best wrestling youll ever see, because they knew each others skills so well. Each had a reversal for the other guy's reversal and it went on and on. I still watch this match from time to time because it stands the test of time. When i watch it now, its shocking that it took place in 1989, because it was such a revolutionary match for that time period. I can sit here and tell you every detail about this match, but it has to be seen to be believed. All i can tell you is that after battling back and forth for the better part of half an hour, Ricky Steamboat was able to roll up Flair for the win and the NWA World Title. If you are a fan of wrestling, you havent lived until youve seen this match. I promise you that :)
Ring of Honor - April 2nd, 2005 Bryan Danielson VS. Spanky (aka Brian Kendrick)
New Japan Pro Wrestling - Super Juniors Tournament - Round 1
I actually really enjoyed watching this match, especially because i hadnt seen much of the ROH style of wrestling and competition. Bryan Danielson is widely considered the best technical wrestler in the world today, and Spanky has been known to be quite well rounded and very capable as well. Ironically enough, both of these wrestlers were at one time training together under another popular wrestler - Shawn Micheals. This particular match included heavy amounts of the japanese style of wrestling, and i was really impressed by all of the reversals and seeing moves i had never seen before, especially submission moves lol. Both men certainly lived up to their reputations and skill levels, but in the end only one person can win to advance to the 2nd round, and that man would be Bryan Danielson after he connected with his Regalplex finisher for the win :)
I thank you all for visiting and i hope you all enjoyed the post :) if you have any questions about any of the matches, feel free to message me anytime :) I hope to chat with you all soon :)
stay strong
