WON 2000-2009 MOTYC

I'm running a Best of the 2000's (00-09) poll over on another forum so I'm watching as much 2000s matches as I can.

For anyone else interested in the results from the last 10 years and maybe something to watch here ya go:     Wrestling Observer Checklist ho:   2000 1.)

Wrestlemania 25 review

Floyd’s Rant for Wrestlemania XXV   Hell yeah WM back in Texas! Houston's less than an hour away but I'm such a poor bastard I didn't go. Should've at least gone to ROH. All well I'm a dumbass. :-( Poor Tazz got the ax right before this show. Released or fired? I doubt he'd choose losing a Wrestlemania paycheck. So were stuck with the JR/Lawler/Cole trifecta.     1. Money-In-The-Bank Ladder Match V: (Kane Vs. Mark Henry Vs. Shelton Benjamin Vs. C.M. Punk Vs. MVP Vs. Kofi Kingston Vs. Fit

Ric Flair Vs. Jake Roberts (Mid-South - 11/24/85)

Ric Flair Vs. Jake Roberts (Mid-South - 11/24/85)     Match history:   Not much that I know about. Ric Flair was the perennial NWA World champ throughout the 80’s and he traveled from territory to defending the belt against all comers. Here he takes on the up and coming Jake the Snake Roberts in Mid-South.       The Match:   Jake's the clear fan favorite here. Before the match Flair makes fun of Jake’s trailer-park-trash hand-me-down outfit. What is this XPW? This is a NWA World

Kerry Von Erich Vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (All-Japan – 5/22/84)

Kerry Von Erich Vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (All-Japan – 5/22/84)   Match history: Two weeks ago Kerry Von Erich stunned the world by defeating Rc Flair for the NWA World title. One week ago Jumbo Tsuruta lost the AWA World title to Rick Martel. For years Jumbo Tsuruta has been wrestling Ric Flair for the NWA World title, always coming close but never winning. More experienced than Von Erich, now Jumbo gets the chance to get another World title for Japan.   Fall #1: Crowds hot right away. Tie up

Top 100 Wrestling Matches of the 80's

I've been watching alot of 80's matches lately and went ahead and made my own personal Top 100. I know some of picks may be weird so feel free to comment on them, or even better, other matches that I haven't seen and you think should be in there. Here it is:   Floyd's Top 100 matches of the 80's   I'd like to add these matches would've made my list but my copies were too clipped to rate. I recommend to check them out too!:   Tiger Mask I Vs.

Wrestlemania 24 review

Floyd’s Rant for Wrestlemania XXIV     1. NO-DQ BELFAST BRAWL: J.B.L. Vs. Fit Finlay (w/ Hornwoggle) - I haven’t kept up with WWE in a while so bear with me, but I think the story goes like this: Midget Hornswoggle was discovered to be Vince McMahon’s illegitimate son. So of course Vince McMahon showed his affection by beating the shit out of him as much as possible. Then JBL, using his A.P.A. detective skills, dropped the bomb that Hornswoggle is really Finlay’s son! JBL also went dwarf to

DVDVR Mid-South/UWF Matches of the 80's - Disk #3

My thought on Disk #3 (Ranked in order of best-to-worst):   Cream of the crop:   1. Ted DiBiase vs. Hacksaw Duggan (No DQ, Loser Leaves Town, Coal Miner's Glove on a Poll, Tuxedo, Cage match ) (3/22/85) [bR-14] - Wow. A short but an awesome, brutal and bloody cage match to cap off their feud. it's bad enough to get your ass kicked but now they have to do it in their best clothes. This easily would've still been #1 for me even without all the history that DVDVR provided. But the inclusion

DVDVR Mid-South/UWF Matches of the 80's Disk #2

My thought on Disk #2 (Ranked in order of best-to-worst):   Cream of the crop:   1. Rock N Roll Express & Hacksaw Duggan vs. Midnight Express & Ernie Ladd (6/8/84) [sDM-3] - Really surprised this was my favorite match of the set but it was really fun. Ladd just towered over everybody and the Midnights and Cornette brought their shenanigans to the party. Ricky Morton plays Ricky Morton here. A molten crowd always helps too.   2. Magnum T.A. vs. Ted DiBiase (No DQ) (Tulsa 5/27/8

Floyd's Wrestlemania 4 Review

Floyd’s Rant for Wrestemania IV   To be honest I wasn’t looking forward to this show for 2 reasons:   1) It’s not really that good. 2) It’s loooonnngggggggggggggggg (~4 hrs.)   This year after Hogan was pinned cleanly by Andre (fuck you Hogan, you lost, the ref counted 3… live with it), Andre gave/sold the World title belt to Ted Dibiase. The WWF wouldn’t allow it so they declared the title vacant and set up a tournament for the title. I thought the tournament was a great idea but unf

Floyd's Wrestlemania 3 Review

Floyd’s Rant for Wrestlemania III     Attendance for this show is listed at an astonishing 93,173. Most experts place it more around 78,000 nowadays, but the actual number isn’t as important as the fact that a SHITLOAD of people came to see Wrestlemania this year.   Vince McMahon opens the show by welcoming the people. You can practically see the dollar signs in Vince’s eyes. He had to have had a week-long orgasm after seeing the gate and buy rate numbers. America the Beautiful is sung

Floyd's Wrestlemania 2 Review

Floyd’s Rant for Wrestlemania II   Wrestlemania 2 has always been a childhood favorite of mine. IN fact, it’s easily the Wrestlemania event I’ve seen the most times. This year Vince McMahon wanted to do what Jim Crockett did for Starcade and stage a big card in more than one venue. He chose Three, the first being in:   New York: Ray Charles sings the national anthem. Despite some feedback, does a awesome job on it. Ray Charles > Limp Bisquick any day.

Floyd's Wrestlemania 1 Review

I used to do reviews of shows long ago. Since it's a few months before Wrestlemania I'd figure I'd do a review for every Wrestlemania for those who haven't seen the shows.   ****************************************************   Floyd’s Rant for Wrestlemania I   Show starts off with Mean Gene Oakerlund singing the national anthem. Gov. Jessee da Body says Mean Gene rates right up there with Robert Goulet.   1. Chico Santana Vs. The Executioner – The Executioner is Buddy Rose, which

DVDVR Mid-South/UWF Matches of the 80's Disk #1

My thought on Disk #1 (Ranked in order of best-to-worst):   Cream of the crop:   1. Junkyard Dog & Mr. Olympia vs. Ted Dibiase & Matt Borne (Loser Leaves Town) (10/27/82) - Whoever loses the fall must leave town. This was supposed to be Hacksaw defending the belts but he couldn't make it so Portland Matt Bourne took his place. DiBiase/Bourne make a good heel tag team. Really fun tag match with an ending so awesome if made it my #1 for the set.   2. Ted DiBiase vs. Hacksaw Dugg

Top 10 matches of 2007

Except for some ROH shows, I think Ive seen most of what I wanted to, so here's my picks for the Top 25 matches of 2007!   ********************************************   25. Mitsuharu Misawa Vs. Takuma Sano (NOAH Spring Navigation - 4/28) - Misawa gets in trouble quickly and has to regroup or else he'll lose his GHC World title.   24. Mschif Vs. Awesome Kong (Shimmer Vol. 9 - 4/7/07) - The Awesome Kong invasion continues when she takes on NWA Women's champ Mschif (Non-title match)

Look-back: Top 10 matches of 2006

Since I have time off I've been trying to catch-up with some recommended matches for 2007. In the meantime here's my Top 10 from 2006.     10. Akira Taue Vs. Naomichi Marufuji (NOAH - Tokyo Nippon Budokan Show – 3/5/06) – This was big man (and recent GHC World Champion) Akira Taue thumping on little Marufiji. Marifuji was on a roll so far in the year but he needed a big win over one of the established stars. While maybe not a blow-away match, this one had some awesome spots and Taue was e
