It's been a while since I've watched it, but perhaps that El Generico vs. Kota Ibushi vs. Nick Jackson vs. Jigsaw match from King of Trios 2009 fits with what you're looking for.

Ishii vs Okada from the 2016 G1 has a really hot finishing sequence, even by Okada’s standards it also has Okada going for the Rainmaker pose only for Ishii to jump up and lariat the gently caress out of him

Okada/Omega from the 2017 G1 has the story of them going a million miles an hour to beat the 30-minute time limit, and it's pretty amazing how neither guy looks slowed down or blown up by the end.

Mob posted:With a few exceptions the vast majority of female WWE gear is a sports bra variant and very high cut shorts, whoever started the trend probably went with nylons for all the reasons listed above and I'd imagine they cover gear stuff in some Performance Center class Ahhh... Performance Center 101 actually does kind of feel like the "answer" I was looking for of where it came from so universally so seemingly suddenly. That makes sense a the reason.

Yeah despite the super sexualization back then it seems like most of the women wore long pants.

Yeah, I wasn't so much confused by the "Why?" as much as the "Why now?" Like I did mention the "guys don't have it/is it sexism?" thing and there's probably an element of that in play somewhere, even if its just internalized with the guys or something. But I didn't get why it came out of nowhere unless it was some WWE mandate. But it makes sense that its just something that became popularized/standard in the Performance Center/NXT with trainees and then spread.

A lot of the guys do have it, though? They're not sheer, but most dudes wearing long tights are actually wearing trunks over them, that just happen to match the tights.

Sure but there's women who wear long tights/pants too. Its the nylons thing that stands out and which the guys like Orton and Balor clearly aren't doing. But with the women it seems to be 100% which struck me as odd. But the fact that so much of the women's roster graduated from NXT/PC in the last 5 years or so does sort of make sense that they'd all pick it up in the same training area.

MrBling posted:If it is the match from the WCW North Korea show it should be on either youtube or dailymotion, if you can't find it let me know and I should be able to pull it out of my archives and put it up on dailymotion. Yeah, its the Collision in Korea event, which is the only time they wrestled. I hadn't found anything on YouTube when searching for it, but it turns out I should have just searched for the event as that's up in full.

Openers (mentioned on the program but no match listed) Midcard (the matches listed right under the main event) Main Eventers (The large font matches/photos on the programs) The terms came from how they promote the show. Now you can look at it this way but it isn't locked to this anymore. sometimes a main eventer will be in the opening match. sometimes a big feud is too big to hold off anymore and ends up starting the show. sometimes (in wwe's case) they want to gently caress with people watching illegally so they put something big on early while everyone who is pirating is struggling to get set up or so (I recall a rumble or a summer slam doing this)

So I looked into Gillberg a little after reading the New Blood Rising review over in Kiwi's thread and noticing the "GOLDBERG FEARS GILLBERG" sign. ...was Gillberg actually over? It sounds like he was literally the comedy-jobber-est of comedy jobbers, and yet they've brought him back as a part-timer several times and that sign exists.
