The SmarK Rant for Coliseum Video presents The History of the Intercontinental Belt
Wait a second, I never redid this one when going through the Coliseum videos again? Well that’s gotta change. Especially with Gunther setting the new record and all.
Released June of 1987.

Now for your Morning Daily News Update courtesy of those rambunctious rebels over at ITR!
Stone Cold hasn’t been contacted about a CM Punk match
I wonder if he’d even do another one? The Owens match was a good way to go out
Nice to see, but please don’t wrestle one another again
Who is better out of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels?
The answer is clearly Koko B. Ware
Have a good day and I’ll see you this evening

Collision
Date: December 2, 2023
Location: Erie Insurance Arena, Erie, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness, Kevin Kelly
We’re back in the regular time slot this week with no major competition (at least from WWE) and that means the audience might be a bit stronger this time around. As was the case last week, the focus is going to be on the Continental Classic, which has another three matches this time around. Let’s get to it.

The feud between Mitsuharu Misawa and Toshiaki Kawada has become something of a romanticized legend among some circles in the pro-wrestling fandom. In an era when the biggest companies were either creating cartoon characters, putting angles and stories ahead of matches at all costs, or generally moving towards a more exaggerated presentation, AJPW kept things real…or, about as close to real as possible in wrestling.
Instead of having wild characters or a ridiculous premise, Misawa and Kawada built their feud on simple and classic ideas. They were real-life friends turned bitter enemies. One was older and got more attention while the second worked just as hard but got less recognition. Their feud was built on jealousy, shared struggles, competition, a desire for recognition, and a willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of the sport. Misawa himself once admitted that he intentionally jeopardized his friendship with Kawada so that they could both channel their energy into creating better matches.

We’re back to the normal time slot this week and that probably won’t make much of a difference here. What matters here is having something interesting, as the show has a tendency to be an odd collection of matches rather than anything big. Maybe they can change it here though so let’s get to it.

ANATOMY OF A DISASTER: THE UNDERTAKER vs. THE UNDERTAKER:
-It’s time for another Anatomy of a Disaster! The infamous battle of the Undertakers, where they have one of the worst matches in WWF history… and at SUMMERSLAM of all things!
THE STAGE: WWF SummerSlam 1994
THE PERFORMERS:
The Undertaker: The Undertaker had been a big deal since his debut in the WWF (introduced by Ted DiBiase, who then immediatley stepped aside, as Taker was managed first by Brother Love, and then Paul Bearer), becoming World Champion within a year (for a week), and had been pushed strongly ever since. However, in early 1994, he was defeated by Yokozuna at the Royal Rumble in a Casket Match when a dozen other heels attacked him, and then “lightning” struck the casket, Taker appeared on the viewscreen shot from above while lying in the casket, then floated above the screen and into the heavens or something. This was done to give Taker some time off. Various “interviews” were filmed of people across the United States swearing they’d seen the Undertaker popping up here and there, almost like a cryptid, leading to a big mystery as to where he was. And then…

It’s a special show this week as we have one heck of a major match announced for the show. Granted the match has no build and was only announced on Instragram rather than on a previous show or AEW TV. As a bonus, we’re also getting a Pure Rules Title match from Katsuyori Shibata. Let’s get to it.

So how do you follow up on Ronda Rousey making a surprise appearance last week and having a pretty solid match? There’s a good chance you don’t, as Rousey’s appearance seems to be a one off. In a way that might be a good thing though, as we have three shows left before Final Battle, meaning it’s probably time to mostly burn off a show before we get most of the card announced with about ten days before the pay per view. Let’s get to it.

Impact Wrestling
Date: November 30, 2023
Location: Battle Arts Academy, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Commentators: Giuseppe Scovelli Jr., Profession Ignatius Quigley
It’s another special show, but this time it’s like almost nothing else Impact does. This is an IPWF (Impact Provincial Wrestling Federation) show (Throwback Throwdown IV for you historians out there), meaning it’s a parody of 80s show with Impact regulars in very over the top characters. There is actually a bit of continuity over the different shows, which should make for a lot of fun. Let’s get to it.
