Big Mouth Billy Basshole posted:Caught up on the Evil Uno/Moxley match. Are there any other examples of someone bleeding so profusely while still keeping a mask on? Ripping a hole in a mask & bleeding buckets from it is probably half the reason luchadores wear masks. The wonderful & emotional match between Villano IV & Penta from last year's Triplemania is a really good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19v1eqrsJKI There was also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLornQzs26c&t=7028s which was part of the Rush vs LA Park feud Another match between those 2 sickos where Park's mask is barely hanging on for most of the match, such has it been ripped apart

It was extremely hosed up of Parka to sever a guy's head and stuff it inside his skull just to freak out Rush. But that's why he's the best.

Shard posted:I want to say Kurt Angle vs Benoit started as a mat wrestling match until Kurt was losing and he changed to a strike style Similar to Okada vs Shibata. Shibata outclasses him as a pure wrestler, even doing weird British-style catch spots styling on him. Okada gets annoyed and tries to strike, and regrets it

I guess it's funny that I never even thought of it as an excursion. Yeah. He was just this cool dude who came with an amazing move that was always a killshot and had off the charts chemistry with Sting. So much so people were begging for Muta to turn face but oh well.

ARMBAR A COP posted:What's the highest scoring iron man match out there not quite what you're looking for, but anyway, I recall that Lulu Pencil had a series of three minute matches in 2019 where she ended up taking seven or eight falls every time so if they'd extended that to, say, a thirty minute match, they'd most likely go 70- or 80-0, assuming there isn't any sort of mercy rule in Gatoh Move ironman matches

Big Mouth Billy Basshole posted:Caught up on the Evil Uno/Moxley match. Are there any other examples of someone bleeding so profusely while still keeping a mask on? Back in 2008 Chikara, Eddie Kingston had a match against Shane Storm, who wore a white mask with a cartoony face over it. The match got pretty stiff, as expected from a heel Kingston match, and he broke Storm's nose. The red spot on the mask became bigger and more prominent as the match went on.

For the HoF class of 2014 ceremony they had Kane induct Paul Bearer, for which the Undertaker made an appearance. Why wasn't the Undertaker the one to induct him?

Dawgstar posted:Whatever became of Shane? And I guess we need to ask because Chikara, did he turn out to be awful? After his run as STIGMA in the UnStable ran out of gas, he stopped showing up in Chikara as much. He went back to being Shane Storm in Grand Slam Wrestling, only showing up in Chikara again for two matches based on having a shitload of people (22-man tag match and an Infinite Gauntlet rumble match). His last match was in GSW back in the end of 2017. Then I guess he just straight-up retired. As far as I know, he wasn't the subject of anything from Speaking Out.

Tell me the story of ICW[Insane Championship Wrestling] that an out of date and short wikipedia entry wouldn't give me. I see clips on youtube every now and again with Grado and Joe Hendry and it looks really really fun and good. Is ICW a fun and good promotion? Is it still around? if I wanted to watch a time period for fun stuff what would that period be and where do I find it?

One of those promotions I think works better live than on a TV set. I think the place to start is Insane Fight Club, a behind the scenes BBC documentary. It's up on YouTube. A good way to get a grasp on the group. And Grado in particular, as he's heavily featured forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Feb 25, 2023 |
