Five matches that shaped your wrestling fandom
HarmonicGenerator replied to RedRooster's topic in UK Fan Forum
Iāve gone for āthese arenāt the best matches and theyāre not my favourite matches but theyāre five matches with a special place in my heartā as my metric. Undertaker vs. Mankind, Hell In A Cell I didnāt watch it at the time. For years, all I had seen of it was the clip of the first fall from ādonāt try this at homeā. But as a newly re-hooked fan in late 2000, I read the section of Have A Nice Day Foley wrote about this match again, and again, and again. I couldnāt believe it had really happened, that wrestling could be this spectacular. TLCII, Mania X7 Then I saw this - and it was the ultimate stunt show spectacular. Having been desperate for Summerslam 2000 to be my first āPPVā (I think it was on Sky Sports, I think you could see the first hour on one of the free channels because Iām sure I saw at least up to X-Pac vs Road Dogg) I didnāt convince my parents in time. So this was my first TLC match. I didnāt convince them for Mania either and Iād borrowed the tape off my friend David. I must have rewound Bubba and Mattās big table bump dozens of times. Jonny Storm vs Teddy Hart, TNA The first match I saw on the first show I watched on the test broadcasts for what became The Wrestling Channel. My first steps into a larger world. Twenty years on, Iām pretty sure it wouldnāt stand up - it was only about three minutes and itās Teddy Hart, for Bretās sake - but it was like nothing Iād seen before. DāLo Brown vs Sheamus vs Assassin, Dan Fitchās first show Iād been to WWE live before this show in October 2005, but I hadnāt experienced just how fun wrestling could be live until this match, where the crowd just LOVED DāLo. Constant āDāLo is a legendā chants for him, and I donāt think it was an ironic hijacking thing, I think it was genuinely an audience who knew theyād better recognise. Itās the second most memorable part of that show behind a guy from Gateshead who was booked on the opening cruiserweight six way that was meant to showcase Spud, but who blew everyoneās minds. From this show he went on to FWA, then within a couple of years wrestled El Generico in PWG, then went over to Dragon Gate, then WWE, and now heās wrestling Okada on PPV. PAC has been my favourite since this show. Stadium Stampede, All In London I couldnāt believe my wife was willing to come to a wrestling show with me. I had no expectations she would stick around longer than the first match. But her reactions to the cooking skewers, to OC getting beaten up, to SUUUUEEEE arrivingā¦ she stayed for the entire show. This match didnāt make her a fan but I think itās the match that made her understand the appeal of this stupid wrestling thing. -
Iām off today so got to spend my morning watching. I really liked PAC vs. Okada and could have happily watched them do another 20 minutes. Happy Willow won, would have been fine with them having a not-so-short match. Mercedes is losing me each time she appears, hopefully by the time she has a match sheāll show why sheās a good signing. Iām very ready for The Sabbatical Of Jericho. Danielson vs. Ospreay was incredible. Impossible to follow that. I didnāt love the ending and that did take some of the shine off, but right up to the shaky neck injury it had all the stars from me. What a match. Swerve is champ! Found it hard to focus on the match after Danielson-Ospreay but this is a good move and excited to see where they go next.

Jinders Gone - Does anyone care?
HarmonicGenerator replied to Donald J Trump's topic in UK Fan Forum
I treat Khali as a world champion very differently, because the title he won had only been around for about five years when he won it, and didnāt really mean a lot anyway. Jinder won the title, the one thatās supposed to go back to 1963 as the pinnacle of the company. Thatās worse. -
House Show/TV tapings random happenings
HarmonicGenerator replied to air_raid's topic in UK Fan Forum
I donāt recognise the name Soner Durson at all. Who was he? (He?) -
The Official UKFF RAW thread (part 2)...
HarmonicGenerator replied to The King of Old School's topic in UK Fan Forum
Sami Zaynās entrance this week was something special. -
Iāll happily have Danielson vs PAC at Wembley please. Ospreay and Swerve for the World title would have been on my card but Iād rather see Swerve and Hangman in a stadium setting, so Ospreay vs Okada will do. Thatās a decent triple header. Oh, and Jamie Hayter returning to beat Toni for the Womenās title please. Anyway, I was up for paying for Dynasty as soon as they said Danielson vs Ospreay. Interest confirmed with PAC vs Okada. Iām also keen on seeing Joe vs Swerve, and Willow vs Julia. Itās a great card.

This was my wifeās impression too. Her only thought while watching it was that Joe came across really well. Itās more opinion on the actual footage than I have, I mainly just wish they hadnāt shown it. It doesnāt feel like AEW has much goodwill behind it anymore, even though theyāre giving us PAC vs Okada in a couple of weeks, because of decisions like this. No need. My wife also very much enjoyed Timeless Toniās Champagne Reception. She laughed, she loved the colour split screen, she was shocked when Toni tried to remove Rosaās face paint. Good bit of business all round and Iād so much rather we were talking about stuff like this than that stupid backstage footage.

If youāre going to apply logic to the end of that match, I say you have to apply logic to the rest of it. Heyman said in the backstage interview earlier in the night that Bloodline Rules meant (paraphrasing) āwhatever we wantā. So where was the Over The Edge 1998 style rewriting the rulebook as they went? Why didnāt they say āin Bloodline Rules, nobody is allowed to hit Roman Reigns everā or āin Bloodline Rules, Cody Rhodes requires a 20 count to win but Roman Reigns only needs a 1ā? Logically if the rules are āwhatever we wantā they could have done that. But when you apply logic to wrestling you ruin the magic. Enjoy the cameos. Enjoy the run ins. Enjoy the match and enjoy The Story!

Wondering if theyāre planning to drag that bit out long enough that they have Jericho vs Ogogo at Wembley. Speaking of Wembley, I am very excited for PAC vs Okada to the point Iām buying Dynasty to see it, but if they want to wrap PAC in cotton wool after that until August that is fine because I canāt have him getting injured and missing All In again. āIām calling you out, bonny lad!ā Yes PAC! This episode also had a great Dustin promo. He never said ābonny ladā and he has zero chance of winning the title but it was great nonetheless.

If I hadnāt read this thread, I would have assumed the Bucks releasing exclusive footage from All In would have something to do with the fact that it was announced on the same show where FTR booked a match against them for the Tag Titles and the last time they wrestled was All In. Which it still could be if they really wanted and that would be preferable. Just be fun, wrestling.
