The very first Brian Pillman vs Jushin Liger match in WCW is always the first one I think of. Almost incalculable the effect that match must have had on North American wrestling.

Damn! i was just editing my post to put that in when you posted it! great minds and all that bollocks  

Diesel vs Shawn Micheals - MSG, May 19, 1996

The "curtain call" match. From that we got

Outsiders going to WCW leading to NWO

HHH not winning the KOTR as punishment with Austin getting the nod and the 3:16 speech

acknowledgement of "The Kliq" by WWF and running with it to form DX

Could also throw in PIllman - Liger Superbrawl II - Feb 29 1992

first real introduction of Liger to American audiences and the best opening PPV match at the time

Greta Thunberg given up the environmental stuff to make movies now?

Some fancy new 8K camera setup they're playing with.

ah right thanks, it looks almost like a video game close up. 

funny how time moves on, ive got an old PWI which has a feature on the incoming HD TV cameras and the impact they might have on wrestling seeing things more clearer and now we are looking at 8K

Rhodes / Madden / Mongo

Nitro's commentary team had some real duff ones over the years but not sure about Zby"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILED HIM"sko

Not sure if already commented as only watched yesterday so not going back through 25 pages to see but what is with the entrances when it seems to change the camera shot to almost a 3D style image with a slightly blurred background?

I dont watch the weekly shows, is this a regular thing?

Rhodes, Rude, Sid, Bam Bam, Kennedy, Jimmy Uso and Balor only having 1 rumble appearance each. Surprised at some of those.

Scott pretending to type to get to the question for Tony and the awkward pause at the end before Tony laughs

WCW Mastercard? did it automatically decline due to lack of funds 

Since its just come on Britbox Im having

MR BENN - Capable of pulling a 3 faces of Foley style entry. Mr Benn walks to the ring, as if by magic a shopkeeper appears and tells Mr Benn to dive under the ring ala Titus emerging the other side dressed as a Caveman, a Gladiator or even a Zoo Keeper

SHAUN WALLACE

The ring is full when the Chase music hits and out strides entrant 27 - 6ft3 220lb Shaun Wallace to clear the ring with his intelligence like a modern day Genius / Damien Sandow. After 5 minutes Wallace stands alone proclaiming himself as the Dark Destroyer on his way to WM capable of beating any World Champion when the buzzer goes off and the sounds of "Dangerous" by Courtnay Melody fills the arena. Cole starts to lose it "Could it be, is it HIM?, it is!"

NIGEL BENN

Entrant number 30! Storming to the ring, the self proclaimed "fittest 55 year old in the world" grabs the mic and stands face to face with Wallace.

"You call yourself the Dark Destroyer Wallace, I'm the original Dark Destroyer and I'm here to show you what a true World Champion looks like" followed by two quick hands and throws out Wallace to stand alone in the ring and the winner of the 2021 Royal Rumble

Glad WWE paid whatever it cost to get Frank and My Way. Pat was amazing that video had the tears in my eyes. Pats finishes were the best. RIP 

Paul Anka will be happy, he gets the majority of the money from My Way

im sure it was Necro that did an interview in PS where he talked about it. He was on about being in Canada and patching himself up before he realised they had healthcare up there

Vinces left quad and Vinces right quad. Shame creative tore the team apart at Royal Rumble 05. Far too soon 

thats like Jerry Lawler when he used to describe Stacy Kieblers left and right leg as the best team in WWF

He was a mid card/tag team chikara guy. Race jaxon/blank. Never been great in the ring but cuts a solid promo. 

I enjoyed the fact that they wrestled the match like they didn't know who the other person was, and didn't immediately start running signature spots, it was an easy 20 minute rwatch. 

im same, quite enjoyed it and will give it a go next week

Just watched it. No idea who the loser of the first show was. Whats his background?

That's always the story I here, he knew it was a shit idea and knew the fans would shit on it but got reluctantly talked around to try and help them at least get some column inches when they were circling the drain. 

He even roped Cox in for a promo too didn't he? 

It's always said he donated all the money to the Owen Hart, Pillman and Droz funds too which is a classy move. 

I don't hate the slamboree triple cage match, it's not good by any definition but it's not bad. 

Cox and Kurt Russell. Kurts response sums it up

Big Poppa Pump: look 10, promo 5, work 7 (22)

But if you multiply it by his chances of winning then its 432
