Also one of the sickest bumps I've ever seen:

Damn that looks like it hurt bad, wow.

Also one of the sickest bumps I've ever seen:

Which rumble was that

 

[Chris]

Which rumble was that

2000 I think. King kept asking them to replay it over and over for the rest of the match

Yes, it was the 2000 Royal Rumble

Also, El Dorado Wrestling is some real deep cut wrestling promotion to mention, so I am impressed to see it on there.

One of my favorites during his time in WWE. Brain Christopher vs Taka Michinoku: D-Generation X: In Your House 12/07/97

Loved TAKA. I always wondered what it woulda been like if he was in WCW's late 90s cruiserweight division.

[Wiseman]

Really is sad that a decently talented guy like Taka was completely wasted in WWE for years.

 

[Necro]

 

[Wiseman]

I really, really Taka would have made his way to WCW at this time when this match took place.

 

[Chris]

What a legend

 

[Alexa]

Taka basically said "I am too old for this shit"
