http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJylNPauCiU In this bout against Toshizo, Super Crazy proudly reps ECW despite even the WWE incarnation of that promotion folding earlier in 2010 when the match took place. Unfortunately these fans are nowhere near as rabid as classic ECW crowds… Read More ›

Kamala, the Unifier
A classic match-up from Memphis, Jerry Lawler takes on Kamala (in the clip referenced to as Kimala). The bout is pretty slow, but there is some good brawling in there. Also, look at the forerunner to Kim Chee! That certainly… Read More ›
A Rematch From 1894
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbWgH0rATjs&feature=related Even the commentators have to joke about this match by pointing out how way, way over the hill both competitors are. You have Abdullah with love handles that would be dripping down to the floor if it weren’t for… Read More ›
Scorpio Sky Doesn’t Know Jack
This match demonstrates that though WSX did not have a long shelf life overall they still grew somewhat as a company over their short existence. This match looks like it could be a decent opener for a major company (think… Read More ›

Muta Takes On a Real Man’s Man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds1o5CEdvs0&feature=g-vrec There are a lot of things you can say about William Regal (formerly Steven Regal), but I don’t think anyone can deny that he is a real man’s man. Okay, maybe this was a little before that ill-fated gimmick,… Read More ›
