Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted September 6, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Wanted to bump the old thread but went back about ten pages and couldn't find it. Time for a new one! Ernest Miller vs Joey Janela, GCW/BLP: 4 Cups Stuffed: First thing's first. Joey Janela is the shits. If shits could take shits that would take other shits, Janela would be the third generation shit. There's a spell in this where he just stands openly calling spots then, WHEN HE'S FINISHED, ducks his head to hide his mouth and just looks like he's kissing Cat's head. Still, it's The Greatest, in 2022. I smiled the whole way through. We got Janela calling a fan's momma and telling her her son's about to get his ass kicked, Cat kicking Janela through a door, some crotch-chops that were literally so good they got a replay (not kidding!) Janela being thrown hard through a door, a RAM JAM! And, what we all paid our $13 for, Joey Janela getting kicked hard in the head! I'm bewildered that this was a thing, but the world's a better place for it. Here's some highlights: The best thing about this is that it establishes a working relationship between Miller and GCW. Get him in Bloodsport. Make the Don Frye match happen! Edited September 6, 2022 by CleetusVanDamme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted October 18, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2022 SID vs Goldberg, Halloween Havoc 1999: Big guilty pleasure of mine. Sid comes out bleeding already (It's more fun not looking for context why), it eventually turns into an absolute gusher and the match, weirdly, consists of heel Sid valiantly fighting from underneath, taking a beating and eventually passing out from blood loss. The fuck? An odd mess. I like it! Pentagon Jr. vs Villano IV, mask vs mask, Triplemania XXX Part 3: I'm still chasing that Blue Demon Jr. vs Dr Wagner Jr. high from a few years ago. This wasn't that good (there was no forklift staredown!), yet a really great, bloody, emotion-fueled match all the same. I don't know or watch much lucha but the drama and crowd investment in these mask matches are insane, loads of tears in the post-match scenes (not saying the result as it's only a few days old). Some great visuals, topless Penta pissing blood through his ripped mask looked amazing! Recommend. Cool spoiler image... Spoiler Money!

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted October 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2022 I was watching that "Underrated Halloween Havoc Matches" section on the Network. Luger Vs Randy Savage come up. Just before it was the Sumo Monster Truck match. I'll not repeat the ending to the (as I watched Hogan vs The Giant after it) show (THE YETAHHHH!!!") but it's absolutely hilarious cheese.

TildeGuy~! Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Stardom: New Blood 5 Every couple of months Stardom put on a show live on YouTube where some of their signed wrestlers take on freelance wrestlers, it’s a fun couple of hours, there was also some controversy to this months show as they had Chanyota on the card(porn star turned pro wrestler) she pulled out a decent looking Sharpshooter about 2 minutes into her match. They also upload their weekly TV shows every Wednesday to their YouTube channel. Edited October 20, 2022 by TildeGuy~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 21, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2022 A hidden gem that deserved a bigger audience. Two guys over a decade (at least) past their primes putting on an absolute cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing that Kent joins in on the no-sell, but not even commenting on the action is jarring. A few Wogan/Eurovision level snarks would've added to it.

The timing for Nash in terms of his career was unfortunate. By the time he came back to WWE after WCW he was seen as last-gen and passé. So apart from the odd appearance he spent the last 15 years of his career knocking around TNA and the indies. When he was actually still in decent knicker. Imagine if that period had coincided with the recent WWE era where they wanted to bring old stars back for matchups with young stars and Crown Jewel main events. Nash would have been huge I reckon.

The Gaffer Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 As luck would have it they put the full PPV up a few hours ago! It was the same one where they were pushing Matt Morgan in the main event. God, I miss classic TNA. I had a better time with it than any amount of ECW, AEW or any other 'alternative'.

Cutting Edge of Bluntness Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 https://youtu.be/iaHt3xJH87Y Uploaded by our own John Lister, one of the many matches these 2 had on TV but none were ever the same.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 25, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2022 Rey as an underdog in his hometown, Brock at his first run best - heeling it up and selling/bumping like a maniac, one of the nastiest powerbombs you'll see...this is 11 perfect minutes of wrestling.

Nash's on again/off again mentor/enemy thing he had going on with Joe in the first half of 2008 made for some really good TV. Their Turning Point match late in the year was excellent and really underrated. Joe, even in defeat rarely looked better than when he had a 7-footer pinballing around for him. Nash needing to bust out two Jackknifes, a chair shot, an exposed tunrnbuckle, a low blow and a feet on the ropes pin to just about keep him down made Joe look great. The polar opposite to the Booker T feud in that Summer that killed Joe's title reign and any ounce of momentum stone dead. Whoever decided to have them work 50/50 and have Joe only able to win after cheating, at the second attempt should have been fired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went with Nash telling him he couldn't beat Booker T because he was too hot-headed. I'm not as down on Booker as most, but there's no way Joe should have had to win dirty the second time. Maybe first time have Booker win by some sneaky veteran move capitalising on Joe's mistake, but then Joe gets it back by going over Booker BIG, i.e. outsmarting him, and, at the last, no-selling the kicks and the Bookend to put him away.
