  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3QKlukTvmI If you watched yesterday’s clip you saw that it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger (if you didn’t watch it then you can see it right here). As you might expect even if you can’t understand Japanese the… Read More ›

• Super Crazy Reps ECW

  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

  By danielcarljohnson on July 10, 2012 • ( 0 )

  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 ›

  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 ›

  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 ›

• Jeff Jarrett vs. Raven…Sort Of

  By danielcarljohnson on July 7, 2012 • ( 0 )

  If you’ve never seen Scotty Flamingo in action then it could worst be described as a gimmick not very far removed from the Raven character. It is quite surreal to see the man that would become Raven holding the USWA World Tag Team Championship alongside… Read More ›

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTTgJwjyMJM Human Tornado was one of my favorite indy talents around the time WSX existed (2007). Here we get a little taste of the kind of flavor him and another indy darling, Jack Evans had to offer. I love that WSX… Read More ›

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNz51-lvylU Since I posted about GWF yesterday I thought I would follow it up by posting about a match from the company’s most cutting edge feud, Jerry Lynn vs. The Lightning Kid. As you can tell by Lynn’s promo the… Read More ›

  In this bout The Patriot as performed by Del Wilkes takes on Tugboat Taylor in a brief contest for the Global Wrestling Federation. The most impressive part of this match is when The Patriot managers to slam the massive Taylor… Read More ›

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ztnhHbL20U Leading up to this match Jumbo Tsuruta was fresh off of losing the AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship to Terry Gordy. So the last thing Jumbo needed was a loss to Mitsuharu Misawa, a wrestler not only more than… Read More ›
