Last Wrestling Match Watched 2.0

[Keith]

Kane VS. Gene Snitsky Raw 13.9.04 *

Snitsky's TV debut and it was just a basic big man match which was used to set up the lame angle in which Lita loses her baby.

Randy Orton VS. Triple H, Batista and Ric Flair Raw 13.9.04 **

Anti-climatic handicap match. Flair's involvement defitinly dragged the pace and quality of the match down, but it was also too short for a main event. The ending with Benjamin making a suprise return ahead of time and him and Benoit evening up the odds was a nice job. Overall it did its job of keeping Orton's one step ahead of Elvouation story going and kept Benjamin and Benoit involved setting up a Orton stamble which at least added something different to the feud, as a main event it was pretty predictable.

WWE NXT (7/18/12) - Kaitlyn vs Tamina Snuka

Decent enough divas match, just as good as stuff we normally see on the major shows. The ending moments were really cool.

WWE NXT (7/18/12) - Jinder Mahal vs Percy Watson

Ugh, I just don't care about these guys at all anymore. Decent enough match I guess, but I don't like how they're pushing Mahal on this show even though he has improved a good bit since his debut.

WCW Saturday Night 8/24/1993: VADER

This was a Vader squash and I never got the name of his opponent. Vader tore up ringside before the match and then stood in way when Tony Schiavone was trying to cut an interview with Harley Race afterwards. Fun stuff.

1/4*

WWE NXT (7/18/12) - Richie Steamboat vs Leo Kruger

Pretty good stuff here, nice face/heel aspect. I dislike Kruger getting the win here just because Steamboat looked quite a bit better, but it was a cheap win, so the feud will probably continue.

WWE NXT (7/18/12) - Paige vs Raquel Diaz

Basically a more competitive squash match. Both girls looked alright, the Gory Bomb finish was pretty good, but I hate Raquel's gimmick so much.

WWE NXT (7/18/12) - Heath Slater vs Justin Gabriel

Real good stuff here the whole way through, didn't really care much for the ending, but that's the only thing I didn't enjoy.

WCW Saturday Night 5/14/1994: Mark Starr v.s Rick Rude.

This was all Rude. He just pounded on Starr repeatedly while still being a cocky, mother fucker. He hit a few moves with authority while he just toyed with Starr. This one was just a good squash. God damn.

1/2*

WCW Saturday Night: Quinn Nash & Brad Anderson v.s The Nasty Boys.

Haha, my god it's so fun watching The Nasty Boys especially in 1994. I don't know if I would say they were in their prime but they had their best matches with Mick Foley in this same time period. This was a hilarious squash. At one point Jerry Saggs does a knee when he literally puts all his weight into it while his opponent looks like a defenseless little kid. Best part of the match.

1/4*

WWF Monday Night Raw 1/3/93 - The Steiner Brothers VS. Dwayne Gil and Barry Hardy **
Basic squash match, Steiners were post Bevely's feud and being built up for the Headshrankers so not a lot else for them to do. It was one of the better squash matches as Styles knew how to do them in style and give the crowd their money's worth.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

WCW Saturday Night: The Shadow v.s Dustin Rhodes.

No real set up to the Bulldog for Rhdoes. It just happened after some blows and that was the entire match.

DUD

 

[Kiffy Lube]

WCW Saturday Night 3/14/1994: Jobber v.s The Patriot.

Not too bad here. Patriot had trouble keeping this on the up and up, though. I was never told who he was facing either. I looked back several times and it's just Patriot entering the ring after a commercial break. Not too bad of a squash wasn't anything special though.

1/4*

WWF No Holds Barred The Match/The Movie - Steel Cage Match: Brutus Beefcake & Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage and Zeus

Pretty entertaining match actually, much better than their SummerSlam one. Had nonstop action throughout the whole 11 or so minutes it lasted, never a dull moment and a hot crowd. Sherri played her part outside the ring as well, she would have made a much better partner for Macho than Zeus in this one. I'm still not watching the movie though.

ROH Final Battle 2004 - ROH Heavyweight Championship: Samoa Joe (w/Jay Lethal) vs. Austin Aries (w/Roderick Strong)

What a match. Aries ends the ungodly long reign of Samoa Joe was a great and thing to whitness. I think this is the 2nd time i've ever seen this match. Great stuff, as Aries tried to use his explosive nature, tried to go for his brainbuster and stuck to his gameplan of working Joe’s leg…but Joe just seemed to have everything scouted and come back. However, from the moment Aries countered the Musclebuster with the Crucifix Driver the crowd could just sense that title change and they went nuts. The last minute of this is as good, as any ROH match ever. ****
