I was at Royal Quest for Okada/Suzuki which was the most insane atmosphere I've ever seen. I'll remember Suzuki's entrance for the rest of my life.

Oh yeah I was speaking more from crazy as in,"I can't believe they're doing this insane poo poo :stare:" but the best match I ever saw live was Okada vs. Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom 10. Being there in the crowd watching Okada FINALLY beat Tanahashi at the Dome was absolutely loving incredible :hellyeah:

The only hardcore match I've seen live was Jimmy Havoc vs Flip Gordon and that experience has not aged well

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

At my local indy back in the day we had a "Fans Bring the Weapons" match and the one wrestler spun a gamecube controller around by the cord and conked the other guy square in the face with it. At least it wasn't an Xbox controller I guess.

For a bad but crazy match it might of been Kid Lykos vs. TK Cooper at the Boston stop of Progress' US tour. Incredible match, my first time seeing Lykos who kind of instantly became my favorite wrestler from that match, and my first time seeing him get hurt. He broke his collar bone which he took time off for and then shortly after retired when he got hurt again. Though I heard he's wrestling again.

It just don't stop.



Someone earlier mentioned KotR 1998 (where Foley went off the cell) - I was at that show. My seats were on the floor, decently far back (row M, I think it was), so that moment was really the only thing I had a great view of. I don't think I knew that I was really watching history at the time, but it sure was something.

That night also featured Al Snow and Head as a tag team. For the finish, Brian Christopher stuck a bottle of Head and Shoulders (get it?!) into the bottom of Head so he could score the pin.

Also, who's been "officially" announced for the Tag Team Casino Royale? I'm trying to guess the MYSTERY TEAM, but I can't even get an idea as to who is already announced as in. (The Wikipedia page for the show lists 15 teams, which should be all of them, and different blogs with the card only have like 7-10.)

When I looked it up there was a TBA slot idk :shrug:

if there's no mystery team then that's kind of a bummer

I saw Vampiro vs Sabu at the Gathering of the Juggalos in 2001. They brawled through the crowd for nearly the entire match, both were a bloody mess by the end.

I can't remember if the local police teargassed the venue during or after the match, but I do remember Vampiro won and the crowd later stormed and forcibly dismantled the ring.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I don’t think SCU was officially announced so my answer should count :colbert:

Anyone who came out for the brawl should be considered as “announced.”

I think Tony called it a 15 team battle royale during the podcast and that’s how many are listed on Wikipedia, so there may not be a wild card.

My predictions are very bad.

Craziest match I ever saw in person was Hell of War in Lucha Underground. Killshot gave Dante Fox a death valley driver from the top turnbuckle onto a stretcher outside the ring after Dante had already gone through glass and barbed wire earlier in the match and Dante left a big chunk of flesh on the stretcher. Melissa Santos had to leave ringside because she looked like she was going to be sick. After the final bump in that match (Dante going off the bandstand through like three panes of stacked up glass) the crowd was like dead silent because they didn't want to cheer until they were sure he wasn't dead.

I didn’t pay attention to the individual people in the brawl and didn’t realize until after I submitted my picks that SCU was out there. I drew a complete blank when trying to come up with a surprise team.

Was trying to think of some IMPACT tag team to be the mystery team, but then remembered they have like 2 teams total, went for it anyways!

Haven't gotten to see anything too crazy live yet, did see a Su Yung hardcore match that was fun, but broadcast wise, it'd probably have to be the Cracker Barrel match, Janela/Omega or Omega/Moxley. I've seen a lot of gruesome GCW and CZW matches, but seeing something like those on a national stage blew my mind as someone who missed a lot of the 24/7 Hardcore and TLC era WWF/E.

How is longest tag team in the Casino Battle Royale being counted? Because this isn't like WWE where one member goes, the other leaves. Are you calculating both members time in the ring, or is it just counting the single member who's in there the longest?

Time the team enters the match to time the team is no longer in the match.

If Private Party enters at 3:00, Kassidy gets eliminated at 4:00, and Marq Quen wins the match at 25:00, then their time is 22:00

If Top Flight start the match and both are eliminated at the same time at 15:00, then their time is 15:00

I respect that, it is probably the only way to do it that wouldn't result in something weird like a team eliminated together after 15 minutes beating a team that went 1 minute and 28 minutes (and won)

They keep announcing new teams for the battle royal on Twitter and I don't think they've ever advertised a "Mystery Team," you might be better off just throwing out that question

I know this is gonna be called a hot take but I literally couldn’t care less about the tag royale thing or whatever it is, I hate poo poo with loads of dudes in the ring, I can never follow the action. What happens for the team that wins, do they get a shot at the titles?
