  1. GARBAGE

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    2000 START Jun Akiyama vs. Yoshihiro Takayama (AJPW 1/9/00) It’s wild how unnatural Yoshihiro Takayama looks with black to me despite being a Japanese man. I liked this match more the first time I watched it many years ago, and it isn't making a top 25, but it's still really good and I love...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    The 1990 countdown is done, so here's the top 25 I submitted. El Satanico vs. El Dandy, Hair vs. Hair (EMLL 12/14/90) Mitsuharu Misawa/Toshiaki Kawada/Kenta Kobashi vs. Jumbo Tsuruta/Akira Taue/Masanobu Fuchi (AJPW 10/19/90) Angel Azteca vs. El Dandy (EMLL 6/1/90) El Faraon vs. Pirata Morgan...

    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...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    ZEN NIHON!!!!! Mitsuharu Misawa/Toshiaki Kawada/Tsuyoshi Kukchi vs. Jumbo Tsuruta/Masanobu Fuchi/Akira Taue (AJPW 8/18/90) youtube.com/watch?v=kB__ZH1tbUs These All Japan tags are never gonna have quite the chaos level of some of the joshi stuff or your inter-promotional murder fests, but...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    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...

    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...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Angel Azteca/Americo Rocca/Javier Cruz vs. Chavo Guerrero/El Dandy/El Texano (EMLL 3/18/90) youtube.com/watch?v=YZz_mzEWpGM Everyone is billed as tecnico here on the title cards but that doesn't stop the two teams almost coming to actual blows several times. Cruz almost gets stuck into Chavo...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Ric Flair/Sting/Arn Anderson vs. Buzz Sawyer/The Great Muta/Dragon Master (NWA 1/26/90) youtube.com/watch?v=rNGIr4vAQO0 Aw hell yeah here's that WCW Dragon Master footage I wanted. Some pals and I did a top 100 WCW matches poll a long time ago and I can't find any mention of this in any of our...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Nobuhiko Takada vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara (UWF 2/27/90) dailymotion.com/video/x7dy4qf Probably trite by now to praise up Fujiwara as a "defensive" wrestler but the thing I value most in the best wrestlers of all time is each moment and move mattering, having an impact, and not being motion wasted...
  12. GARBAGE

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Naoki Sano vs. Jushin Liger (NJPW 1/31/90) dailymotion.com/video/x466uxi Ideally I would pop on their 1989 matches first but I am strapped for time so I'm jumping to the end. No regrets, naturally, because all these years later after last watching it it's still an excellent fight. You'll barely...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Accidentally posted the thread early after only writing about ONE MATCH, I'm so good at this already. The Rockers vs. The Powers of Pain (WWF 1/15/90) drive.google.com/file/d/1LNrcIOXA0MD90uCob3c4g406jHbvg3-1/view I don't know what the second best WWF match of 1990 is, but I've watched so much...

    Garbage's MOTY list thread

    Who knows how long I keep this up, but I wanted to join the 1990 top 25 and I want to document what I watch, with links, even if I only write a sentence or two. Thought about making it just a 1990 thread, but if I actively participate in more than one of these I don't want to make a separate...
