Crippler Crossface Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 The question of the moment: If the SWF released a "Best Of" VHS or DVD box-set, what matches get onto the compilation? This is an all-time list, and who knows? Maybe we could actually get a page on the SWF website together with some of the more popular matches so that n00bs and those who don't have a good back history of the early days can see them. I'm still working on a list. Oh, and if you'd like to include a JL or ML match in the list, feel free to do so, because there are a few I'll probably have on my list.
devo Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 I don't have any show names, but a few ideas regardless... Edwin MacPhisto vs. Chris Raynor Mark Stevens Wins The Clusterfuck Tom Flesher vs. El Luchadore Magnifico-Ultimate Submission Match Wargames I haven't read many recent matches, so I appreciate you putting up with my outdated suggestions.
HVilleThugg Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Edwin vs. Thugg vs. Bo Da "hurricanes that knock out my power suck" H
TheBostonStrangler Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Rane vs. Spike Chris Wilson vs. Stubby McWeed vs. Axis vs. El Luchadore Magnifico vs. King of Hearts vs. Grand Slam (I think that's the right grouping, but Mark might not have been in it) for the IGNWF World Title at Genesis II HVille Thugg vs. Axis, ICTV/World Title match (I think this was a cage match) Grand Slam vs. Edwin MacPhisto, Retirement Match El Luchadore Magnifico vs. Tom Flesher, Ultimate Submissions match The Boston Strangler vs. Erek Taylor, Street Fight Midnight Carnival & Thoth vs. Magnificent Seven, Wargames Match Edwin MacPhisto vs. Chris Raynor, Last Man Standing Match @ Genesis III Justice & Rule vs. Deja Vu vs. Wild and Dangerous, TLC Match TNT vs. El Luchadore Magnifico, Two Consecutive Falls Match Tom Flesher vs. Frost, Window Pain match
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 NotJ vs. Fallout vs. Outcast -- ICTV title match. *cough* I didn't even win that one, and I know it was a good one Maybe not by today's standards (size wise, especially), but it was quite well written and sparked one of the best OOC feuds I've ever been involved with.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Also, Stubby vs. Rane vs. Divefire for the World Title back in the day. 23k match before 23k matches were cool.
Guest TheAntipop Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Fuck DVD, I'd just get any match I want off of Z's fserv.
JST Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 This year's Clusterfuck is also worthy of mention.
Guest TheAntipop Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Or maybe Tom. I think my joke would've been better had I used Tom.
Guest Space_Cowboy Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Chris Wilson vs. Stubby McWeed vs. Axis vs. El Luchadore Magnifico vs. King of Hearts vs. Grand Slam (I think that's the right grouping, but Mark might not have been in it) for the IGNWF World Title at Genesis II It was Neilsen, not Mark in that one. Also, the 5-way Ice Water, G-String, Pole Match with Johnny Rotten, Mistress Sarah, Lady Red, The Prophet & Cardboard Comet definately needs to be featured.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 The Prophet ...I wasn't in a match like that...
Ace309 Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Everything's better when you use Tom.
Atlas Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Die Hard vs. Prime Evil, Triple cage match from the first 13th Hour. Even thought we lost that one, it should definitely be included. Comet vs. The Soda Machine Something from the Neilsen vs. Grimedogg era back in the day. Can't think of too many more right now...
Kaertos Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 I'm glad someone mentioned the Stevens / Edwin retirement match. I'd have to nominate one of the classic Midnight Carnival Stables Title Defenses. Perhaps the one where the belt was retired against Evil Inc.. Another big favorite from back in the day would be, I think this is the right combo anyways, The Fallen (Angelous and Molock) v. Y2Chris ver. One (Chris Storm and Chris Wilson, I believe). The first CF match where PDS won. And honestly, for some really new school stuff, the TBS v. Tom title match from two shows back.
Guest Suicide King Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Stables belt was retired against the IGNWO Mark, back when I was still a Carnie.
5_moves_of_doom Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I've thought about this many times before, actually. I don't know how long the tape would run, but here's 10 essential matches that show the different aspects of the SWF at their best. Edwin MacPhisto vs. Chris Raynor, Last Man Standing Any of the Clusterfucks WarGames Mak Francis vs. Danny Williams, Iron Man Match Ash Ketchum vs. Jay Dawg, Barroom Brawl Hide n' Seek Match GENESIS II 6-Man Edwin vs. Thugg vs. Bo, Last Man Standing Tom Flesher vs. ELM, Ultimate Submission or Ladder/Submission Match Comet/Axis vs. the Fallen vs. Silencer/ELM, Las Vegas Casino Brawl Match Grand Slam vs. Edwin, Career Match One or two odd ones that others might not think as essential, and of course there are loads more classics (I also neglected many recent goodies, as you may have noticed,) but eh, I think that that would be somewhat close to my list.
Kaertos Posted September 26, 2003 Report Posted September 26, 2003 I was looking over this list and it suddenly occured to me that both matches people talk about the most involving me happened in a four month span from January 2001 to April 2001. Even I forget about some of the pretty incredible matches from back in the IGNWF days...
Crowe Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Uh. JL - Sean Atlas vs Crow - Hell In A Cell This match deserves props, 10500 word monster which Sean and I wrote together. Too bad no one actually read it thoroughly.
WrestlingDeacon Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 I scoff at 10500. I wrote Wargames by myself! (This fact has been retconned by Frost Brand Enterprises Retconning Device and Food Dehydrator.)
5_moves_of_doom Posted September 28, 2003 Report Posted September 28, 2003 I scoff at 10500. I wrote Wargames by myself! (This fact has been retconned by Frost Brand Enterprises Retconning Device and Food Dehydrator.) Die. And Crow, link away to the HIAC match please. I'll gladly read it, since I remember wanting to but sadly missing it.
Crowe Posted September 28, 2003 Report Posted September 28, 2003 http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...ST&f=26&t=31365 Bottom three posts. (Y) Old schooooool, I might read it again.
