  1. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux Let's look at it in a different manner. A guy is pointing a gun at a little girl. You rush and tackle the guy to take the gun out of his hand. Is anyone going to claim you committed assault? No.
  2. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux To debate another point... That is far from the truth. If the match occurred today, it may just be your standard "Basic" match, but in 1987, it was pretty fresh. Take the whole "Million pin attempts in a matter of ten seconds" spot. While Eddie...
  3. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux But the face didn't cheat. All George Steele did was shove Randy Savage off of the top rope when Savage was trying to cheat with a weapon.
  4. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux That's okay. :) WWE's Top 50 Superstars of All Time DVD - Savage screws Ricky Steamboat in an elimination match by reversing a small package so Steamboat is pinned. *Note* Savage had already been eliminated. Macho Madness: The Ultimate Randy...
  5. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux Do you know how many times a Savage opponent had him beat for the belt, but the ref was down? For once, Savage was getting the same treatment that all of his opponents during his title reign received.
  6. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux No... It's poetic justice. Savage's entire title reign was one filled with Savage cheating, using Elizabeth to distract wrestlers, using weapons and finding any way to retain the title other than doing it cleanly. Savage went to use the ring bell, the...
  7. The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

    Re: Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Redux What's wrong with the ending? It wasn't tainted at all.

    Jushin Liger and Tiger Mask vs Taichi and TAKA - IWGP Jr Heavyweight Tag Titles - Dominion 2012 Previously on NJPW: During a six man tag on the final night of BOSJ, Taichi humiliated Jushin Liger, ripping his mask off in pieces and left him laying. Also, due to various issues, Davey Richards...

    Kazuchika Okada vs Rush - G1 Climax 2012 Day 3 First time seeing Rush. He certainly makes a quick impression. The dude comes out to the ring to "I Know You Want Me" by Pitbull. It's both incredibly cheesy and somehow awesome. For the life of me, I can't tell if he's a babyface or a heel. Based...

    Bad Intentions (c) vs Ten-Koji - IWGP Tag Titles - Wrestle Kingdom VI First Bad Intentions match. I imagine they only had a few more after this. I really dug some of Bad Intentions team work. Their quick action "Let's hit the same move one after another over and over again" spot is pretty...

    Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs Minoru Suzuki - IWGP Title - NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom VI Now this was a welcome surprise. Unlike the other IWGP Title matches this year, this didn't built up to an exciting final few minutes where there's ton of near falls. Instead, it plays to the character of Suzuki...

    Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs Togi Makabe - IWGP Title - NJPW/AJPW/NOAH's We Are Pro Wrestling Love 2012 Tanahashi's first title defense after regaining the belt from Okada. Sadly, it's also the least interesting title match of the year. Unlike Okada/Goto or even Tanahashi/Okada, it was interesting...

    Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Hirooki Goto - IWGP Title - NJPW's Dontaku 2012 Maybe it's because he was presented in a very different manner during the BOSJ shows, but I expected far more from Goto. It seemed to me that Goto was a bad ass monster type wrestler. So when he flat out got his ass kicked by...

    Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Tetsuya Naito - IWGP Title - NJPW's 40th Anniversary Show 2012 Okada continues to really impress me. Once again, he sells the knee like a champ. With Scott Lost being retired, Okada's top rope elbow drop has to be the prettiest in wrestling today. In addition, Okada showed...

    Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs Kazuchika Okada - IWGP Title - NJPW's New Beginnings 2012 "First I take your tooth, then I take your title!" Even though the match takes awhile to get going, once Tanahashi begins the leg work on Okada, it's all awesomeness from then on. Okada looked great especially in...

    That's Murphy from Gunner and Murphy.

    Sting and Davey Boy Smith vs Sid and Vader - Beach Blast 1993 This had the infamous mini-movie where Bulldog is feared to be killed during. Anyways, the story of the match is that the Masters of the Power Bomb, Sid and Vader, don't want to win. They just want to punish the Super Powers, Bulldog...
  18. PWI 500 2012

    It's the PWI 500. It's a kayfabe list that plays to casual fans. WWE guys are automatically put on the list, typically in the top 150. Look at the lowest WWE main roster full timer - Trent Barretta at #220. That's the worst spot for a WWE wrestler. A guy like Khali is so high because he's in the...
  19. PWI 500 2012

    I believe it's something like June 2011 - May 2012. But yeah, that includes his MITB win, two WWE Title wins and a few other World Title shots.

    Vader (c) vs Davey Boy Smith - WCW World Title - Slamboree 1993 Since arriving in WCW, Vader has killed everyone with his immense power. Unlike everyone else, Smith is actually just as powerful as Vader. This allows for the early story of Vader trying to manhandle Smith, but Smith shrugs...
