Was the Dragon/Macho Man blowoff at WM3 as much of an all-time great match as it's been made out to be?

Also, Hogan / Warrior was super rehearsed, and shows.

What do you mean?

e: In general. I know Hogan and Warrior both had to script the poo poo out of that match to get around their limitations.

What's a good example of a strong style match? I want to see what the japanese guys were doing that had them convinced pro wrestling could win a real fight.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Are there any American promotions who book this kind of stuff?

Sakuraba. Holy poo poo.

Sakuraba in happier days against Kiyoshi Tamura with Pancrase rules:

His knee looks like it was hosed all the way back in 1996. How he even gets out of bed anymore, I have no idea :smith:

Have the old TLC matches between Edge & Christian, the Hardys and the Dudleys kept their reputation over the years?

Whatever happened to Nobuhiko Takada after HUSTLE went tits up? Part of me legitimately hopes he was eaten alive by Antonio Inoki in some ancient yakuza ritual.

And when he did take a bump (like 2002) he'd take like two months off and then quit the company.

Hulk Hogan is the smartest wrestler who ever lived.

I've heard references to AJPW's 90s style being really damaging. What are some good matches that show this?

Bonus Early 90s WCW Question: I understand that Ric Flair was picked to be the unmasked Black Scorpion at the last second. Who the hell was BS supposed to be? Warrior?
