ROH 3 way.

Go with the ROH one. Not a top 10 ROH match for me, but still the one most people seem to remember.

TNA match. Never saw that one, heard it was good.

 

Anyways, I'm not continuing with my match reviews, OSW fed, or weekly match ratings for now because my computer only allows me to log on to TSM to view about one page, before the image files stop loading and I have to type in the address all over again, and do the same thing. This happens all the time, and then finally, one day, I'm able to log in. And then a week later, it goes off again.

 

Luckily, today, it's stopped for a while. So anyway, it's really cool to see your match reviews. Even though I can't respond, I can read them, and they're great. Keep it up.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Sorry for not updating in forever, my computer died, but luckily I got a new one just today. Review should be up in the next few days so more people have the chance to vote.

[Blade2kxx 0]

I'll go with the TNA 3-Way

 

I've seen that match and LOVED it...

[Guest Real F'n Show]

The TNA match narrowly edges on the ROH one, 4 votes to 3. I'm gonna work on writing the review tonight, it should be up late tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Well, I'm bored as FUCK today, so how about I restart this shit.

Eddie Guerrero vs. Shinjiro Otani- WCW Starrcade 1995

 

 

Dude, you should keep it going, if only for your own personal enjoyment. I don't get too many responses either, but I have fun watching/analyzing the matches.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Well I guess I could, but it helps if people vote. I'll continue, at least until I get no votes at all. At least I know people are reading.

 

Next vote decides the match.

Eddie/6

[Guest Real F'n Show]

The Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Syxx © for the WCW U.S. Title

The Event: WCW/nWo Souled Out 1997

The Stipulations: Syxx’s United States Title will be on the line. This will be a ladder match.

 

Eddie attacks before the bell but gets nailed with a spinning heel kick. Syxx with a kick and some forearm shots. Eddie fights back with a european uppercut and a flying headscissors. He follows up with a nice tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Syxx is on the outside now and Guerrero nails him with a plancha!

 

Back in, Eddie irish-whips Syxx into the corner, but a charge hits knee. Eddie fights back and tries for a frankensteiner off the ropes, but Syxx fights it off. Guerrero backflips to his feet however, but Syxx comes off the top with a spinning heel kick. Nice sequence of reversals there. Syxx pounds away on Eddie in the corner and follows with the bronco buster. I hate that move. Syxx tries a backdrop but Eddie flips out and dropkicks him out of the ring. Eddie tries suplexing his opponent back in but Syxx counters and suplexes Guerrero out of the ring and to the floor! Syxx then follows with a somersault plancha! Waltman used to be SO good. Syxx grabs the ladder and nails Eddie with it. He props the ladder up against the ropes on the apron but Eddie takes the ladder and catapults the edge of the ladder into Syxx’s face! This was pretty revolutionary for the time, because although Michaels and Ramon had done some of this stuff before them, there had been no Hardyz/Edge and Christian ladder revolution yet.

 

Eddie rams the ladder into Syxx’s back a few times and props it up in the corner. Eddie tries to whip Syxx into the ladder, but Syxx reverses, sending Eddie into the ladder! Syxx kicks the ladder onto Guerrero. He then rams Eddie’s knees onto the ladder. Syxx with a suplex and he starts climbing the ladder. Eddie starts climbing the other side of the ladder, but Syxx knocks him off. Syxx attempts to splash Eddie with the ladder but Eddie dropkicks the ladder into Syxx, who gets crotched on the top! Cool spot. Guerrero follows with a nice superplex. He climbs the ladder and tries for the belt. Syxx climbs the other side however, and they duke it out atop the ladder. Then in an awesome spot that hasn’t been used since to my knowledge, with both men on opposite sides of the ladder, Syxx dropkicks Eddie, causing both men to fall off the ladder! Sweetness.

 

Both men are slow to their feet, but as soon as they are both up, they start climbing opposites of the ladder again. Syxx again knocks Eddie off the ladder, but Eddie stumbles into the ropes, causing him to bounce back into the ladder and knock it over, sending Syxx crotch-first onto the top rope. Eddie climbs the ladder but Syxx grabs him by the leg. Guerrero retaliates with a european uppercut. They both climb the ladder again and both grab the belt at the same time. Eddie smacks Syxx in the face with the belt to break up the tug of war, and wins the match and the belt in 13:49.

 

Definitely one of Sean Waltman’s better matches. Eddie was awesome as usual, but Syxx stood out more in this match because of his crazy bumping. They worked around the ladder in this match, instead of using it for every single spot like some guys do. Nice spots, especially for the time, and the only match worth checking out on this otherwise horrible card. ***3/4.

Bret gives Mr. Perfect a suplex and a small package, both for nearfalls. Bret with a russian legsweep for another nearfall and he follows with a backbreaker and of course the elbow from the middle rope to complete the 5 Moves of Doom~!

 

Perfect rolls up a distracted Bret for a nearfall but Bret pushs him out of the ring. Bret with an irish whip to Perfect into the ringpost. Back in the ring Bret kicks Perect in the leg and attempts the sharpshooter, but Coach gets on the apron to distract him. Bret nails Coach but Perfect kicks the middle rope to crotch Bret. Perfect with a lowblow and a legdrop to the groin. Perfect tries for another legdrop to the groin, but Bret catches his legs and turns him over into the sharpshooter, and Perfect taps out almost immediately, giving Bret the title in 18:05.

 

Great match, but not quite a classic. Perfect does have some really good bumps in this match, however, even though his back was really bad at this point. Bret’s moves look great as usual and there is good build to the match, but the work was not as great as you would expect from the two for some reason, possibly Hennig’s bad back. The match is still an excellent match, and one that every wrestling fan should see at least once. ****

He covers and gets the win to retain his title in 16:23.

 

Great match. Benoit was his usual awesome self and RVD hung with him, not blowing any noticeable spots. Van Dam actually sold his arm and Benoit was always working over Van Dam for the Crossface. The only thing missing in this match is a decent pace. As with a lot of RVD matches, the pace was off and it was really noticeable. The finish also seemed out of nowhere and was a little disappointing, as RVD stopped selling the arm. This was still a great match, and probably one of RVD’s better efforts, not involving a ladder. ***3/4.
