Paid Members air_raid Posted January 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2012 Just curious to see, the first time the wrestling bug bites you guys this new year, what the first match you watch is. OK, so I expect most people aren't watching wrestling right now, but circumstances dictate I am, so I'll go first. Â I'm working my way through my 1990 WCW tapes, so my first viewing of 2012 is.. the Midnight Express VS the Southern Boys for the United States Tag Team Championship from the Great American Bash. Â Go. Well, recover from your hangover, then go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Going to watch Smackdown, so my first match will be Jinder Mahal vs. Ted Dibiase Jr. Woo. Â Thinking I might watch Royal Rumble 2002 later, seeing as it's coming up to 10 years since then (wow). Also gonna watch Summerslam 2002 to see Brock at the height of his WWE success.

spotlightmagnet1 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Justin Gabriel vs. Heath Slater from NXT. Pretty damn good match actually, glad it was my first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Been going through some Tagged Classics I got and next up is Backlash 2001 so the back of the case tells me it's going to be Dudley Boyz & Spike Dudley Vs. X-Pac & Justin Credible so I'll be ringing in the final year before the great reawakening by messing with the X-Factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Would've been Tanahashi/Makabe vs Suzuki/Takayama from 12/24 as I started watching it before midnight, but turned over to watch the fireworks. Â So my first match of 2012 was Nakajima/Mashimo vs Jr. Hayato/BxB Hulk seen as I fancied watching the Nakajima/Hayato feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Wretch Posted January 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'm gonna stick Final Battle 2011 on in the next half an hour, so whatever the opener is on that. Although I am tempted to go straight to the Steen vs Corino match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Having just listened to the latest AOW with Sami Callihan, who was another enjoyable guest, I've downloaded his Evolve match with Finlay, so might pop that on in a bit unless I get distracted by something stupid on TV atm.

Smegma Cake Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I stumbled onto Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels from Wrestlemania 21. Realized I hadn't seen it before for some strange reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2012 Good on you air raid, is there a better way to start the year than watching Midnight Express in action? I don't think so. Make their bout vs Pillman & Zenk your next one, fucking belter from around the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 1, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2012 Make their bout vs Pillman & Zenk your next one, fucking belter from around the same time. Â That's off Capital Combat, which pre-dates the Bash, and which I watched this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Just going to put in Wrestlemania V - I watched the Primetime Countdown show this afternoon whilst ironing so it seemed a logical choice plus I haven't seen it in ages. So I guess it'll be Hercules vs King Haku - wow what an amazing match to see in the New Year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzfan Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Inspired by Air Raid in the Old School thread: Nikita Koloff & Ricky Steamboat Vs. Miracle Violence Connection from the Great American Bash 1992. Â For some perverse reason, I've never watched this event before. It's great isn't it?

NEWM Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Fucking Jinder Mahal vs Ted Dibiase, because I stuck Smackdown on when I woke up this morning. What an awesome first of the year. It was shit, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
