This is the Ric Flair vs. Barry Windham match from the 1987 Crockett Cup. It was rated ***** by Dave Meltzer of the “Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This match is clipped but most of the action is still intact. Enjoy.

Match of the Day
Here is a great match between two excellent tag teams, The Rockers and the Hart Foundation from the November 25th, 1989 Madison Square Garden show.
Match of the Day
Here are the three members of the Shield facing off against each other while in FCW from May 2012. Ambrose easily looks like the star of the three in this match as Seth is a face and Reigns went by Leakee and was very new to the business. Not a great match but interesting to see just how far these two have come along.
Match of the Day
Here is a match between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage from the Maple Leaf Gardens show in October of 1985. Savage was only in the WWF for a little over three months at this point but even here, you could see the chemistry between these two. Also, Savage’s heel work at this time was damn near perfect and Hogan could move around a lot quicker than most remember in this match. This is not a technical masterpiece but very fun for a house show main event.
Match of the Day
Here is Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black (Seth Rollins) from the 5/9/08 RoH Southern Navigation show.

Match of the Day: Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair 12/16/91
I’m pretty sure you already reviewed this from some Coliseum video but thought it would make for a good match of the day
Sure, why not?
Match of the Day
T-Hawk & Eita vs. Dragon Kid & Masaaki Mochizuki
From the PPV earlier today. Maybe the most complete wrestler walking the Earth under the age of 25, T-Hawk, going toe-to-toe and massive chop-for-chop with the crusty old vet Masaaki Mochizuki.

Here goes the match that Meltzer was raving about on Sin Limite last night. Clearly in the MOTYC discussion, for those into that kinda stuff.
Best Free TV Match Ever
Hey Scott, All the clashes going up in the network made me wonder about something. Obviously most all time great matches took place on a ppv but with so many more eyes on a match when its aired on TV, it seems like that makes great free TV matches even more special. What would you say is the best one ever? Sting vs Flair? Cena vs Punk? The raw 10 man tag? DBS vs Owen? The Benoit vs Hart Owen tribute? Hbk and Austin vs Owen and Davey? There are so many to choose from but what's your favorite and do you think a great match on free TV is a bigger deal than a great ppv match? Thanks! |
Kid in Cena match
I thought it was worth pointing out that the kid from the Cena / Bray cage match is actually kind of famous. He is in a very popular NFL Play 60 commercial with Cam Newton that airs constantly during the NFL season. He is also the real life son of former WWF personality Jameson from Prime Time. I'm not sure if it was reported in the NEWZ but I thought it was a cool tidbit worth pointing out.
Match Of The Day submission
Hey, Scott here's the Super Sunday match between Hulk Hogan and Nick
Bockwinkel complete with pre and post-match promos. I still cannot
believe that Verne had the guts to do another false finish after all
this build-up. Oh well hope people enjoy it:

Is it just me or does it not sound like Gorilla & Bobby are calling the match directly from their seats of the Prime Time Wrestling TV set?

Inside Scotts (in)box 4: Best Multiple Match Performance

Hey, here’s a good one from a Mr. Mallonee:
In honor of Daniel Bryan’s impending multiple match performance at WM 30
who do you feel had the best performance at a PPV when they wrestled
more than once? My personal favorite is Kurt Angle at King of the Ring
when he fought Christian, Edge, and Shane-O Mac all in one night but I
thought you and the Blog of Doom might have other ideas.
Actually I think you nailed it. I generally have an issue with Wrestler vs. Non Wrestler matches – for example even though Hogan and Vince had a great match, I thought it was weird that while Hogan is old he’s still a ‘wrestler’ whereas Vince just sort of has matches occasionally. In a kayfabe sense, Hogan should dominate Vince. See also: Flair vs. Vince, and so on.
Question on Match Finishes
'83 (aka "Everybody Bleeds"). To the modern eye, it seems like most of the finishes come out of nowhere, sometimes off of what I'd label a transitional move or in the middle of a sequence — and clearly the crowd doesn't expect them either.

A+ Match of the Day
was the straightforward, no-nonsense “shooter” that utilized a faux MMA style
before it even became popular. Guerrero was the athletic high-flyer and the son of legendary
Gory Guerrero. They were truly polar opposites. But they had one thing in common:
they were superb in the ring. This match had a mixture of everything – chain
wrestling, aerial attacks, creative submissions, imaginative spots, devastating
looking moves, and cerebral psychology. The story was about both of them hitting each
other with everything they had, but not being able to put the other away due
to his never-say-die resiliency. This also does a spectacular job of building to
high-spots, transitioning to each layer of the match, and creating different
story-arcs. The 2/3 falls contest is the more talked about one, but this is the best one of the series.
