    Greatest Wrestling Match Of 1990 - The Countdown

    I'm far from the first to say this but that's probably the last time Ric Flair truly felt like "The Man" in wrestling a big title match. There are great Ric Flair matches after it but none have that same feel of the classic Big Flair Title Match off the top of my head.

    Greatest Wrestling Match Of 1990 - The Countdown

    There are a lot of matches you could point to that represent "hatred" in wrestling, but I had Satanico/Dandy at #1 because its going to be one of my first examples going forward. Pure vitriol and disdain in a way that lucha often does best. Both guys were obscenely good throughout the year and...

    Greatest Match of 2000 - You Decide

    Looking forward to watching more CMLL from this year as well as Japanese indy stuff. I'm sure I already know several matches that'll make my 25 but I'm expecting more wildcards than 1990.

    Greatest Wrestling Match Of 1990 - The Countdown

    It is! Although it's mat-based instead of a violent brawl, and lucha mat work can be more alienating depending on familiarity with it (whereas 'two dudes whack each other and bleed' like Pirata/Faraon is about as inviting as wrestling gets). I sort of, kind of think I had Dandy/Azteca too low at...

    Greatest Wrestling Match Of 1990 - The Countdown

    It took me a couple watches to really get it, but that Kandori/Harley match is just incredible underdog vs. world beater wrestling. Kandori is a really mean grappler in all the best ways. Pirata vs. Faraon is just one of the best brawls ever imo. And there are way worse introductions to classic...

    Greatest Wrestling Match Of 1990 - The Countdown

    I had to do a double take because I thought there was no way I let that 5v5 slip down to #10 but I guess 1990 had more high end stuff that I assumed. Anyway that match rules like fuck and its one of the few matches I can think of, where I would have been fine with it going another 20 minutes for...

    Greatest Match of 1990 - You Decide

    I can't seem to find a private message function and I'm unsure if its because I don't have permission or I'm stoopid, what's the best way to submit the list?

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    El Satanico vs. El Dandy, Super Libre (EMLL 10/26/90) youtube.com/watch?v=zfwghcM7hb8 Satanico turned on Dandy about a month earlier and is largely the actual rudo rudo of the two here, with Dandy from what I can tell even being announced as “rudo tecnico.” And they apparently don’t piss about...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Angel Azteca vs. El Dandy (EMLL 6/1/90) youtube.com/watch?v=l0fLKAa3QFU Some of what they do in this match is actually beyond description. I’d have to list where each body part is to try to put into words what is going on at times. Not everything looks entirely unco-operative, but if we cared...

    El Satanico/El Dandy/Emilio Charles Jr. vs. Atlantis/Javier Cruz/Angel Azteca (EMLL 5/11/90) youtube.com/watch?v=fSFz-jdj4Tk Figured I'd squeeze in one other Dandy vs. Azteca trio before The Big One, and it's a very worthy one to choose. Though if I'm honest it felt little more like Dandy and...

    Bad Music: a Celebration

    I remember that song coming out and I remember no one could tell if it was purposely bad or not to either make fun of, or try to piggyback some of the viral magic of "Friday."

    Last Video Game Played

    am playing Icewind Dale. as a Baldur's Gate fan (I haven't played 3 yet) I can't really complain about anything considering, so far, its basically the same thing but with a much less personal story. there aren't even characters in your party and you just make everybody, or use the "this team can...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    It's WrestleMania day so let's ignore all of it and watch wrestling from before I was even born!!!! Mogur vs. Pierroth Jr. (EMLL 1/12/90) youtube.com/watch?v=e9Xi-EvJ_9U I don't think I've ever seen Mogur outside of trios. If you asked me about Pierroth I would have said I was a fan but it's...

    Mitsuharu Misawa/Kenta Kobashi/Akira Taue vs. Jumbo Tsuruta/The Great Kabuki/Masanobu Fuchi (AJPW 5/26/90) youtube.com/watch?v=fg8KoSf_fCg This might be the first time that Misawa actually wore the green tights and used 'Spartan X' as his entrance theme. He hasn't entirely washed the Tiger Mask...
