Sid vs Bam Bam Bigelow - WWF RAW 7/3/95 It would be all downhill for Bam Bam from here. What should be a marquee matchup in his feud against the Million Dollar Corporation is just a random RAW match and never gets a rematch. First Henry O. Godwin blocks his path on the way to the ring to set up their PPV match. Shoving match that Bam Bam gets the best of. Bam Bam has a bunch of crazy pyro that comes out his gloves and attire. Flame tattoos on your head this is what you’ll get. He is pretty over. I am not the biggest Bam Bam fan but they could’ve gotten more of him. A surprisingly fun match. I love little things like Bam Bam teases to hit Sid in the corner but do…

EWA is Dirtbike's own sleazy British indie promotion and one he'll frequent a few times to put himself over work matches until his early retirement from chaotic back injuries (according to Dirtbike himself, he actually broke his back before wrestling this match a few weeks earlier) One wonders how he didn't retire sooner given the shit he was putting himself though here lol. Of course he puts himself in the main event with Sabu, and this match is a glorious trainwreck; Dirtbike isn't a good wrestler, however he's a complete natural of trashbag indie garbage wrestling, and combined with Sabu? Guarantied craziness. I really like Sabu's "crazy man" antics, especially at the…

These aren't exactly two guys I gush over the opportunity to see, and aside from a few interference spots and Fuyuki taking a bell to Shiro's head on the floor, this isn't a bloody interpromotional brawl either. But it is a very well laid-out match between two guys who know how to work a crowd. Fuyuki has finished his transformation into possibly the biggest slob in the history of wrestling, but can still move about--he's pretty much a Japanese indy Dusty Rhodes. Fuyuki has taped ribs which plays into some cool counters as well as the finishing stretch. Nothing that will change the world but a match that reflects well on both guys.

Because I couldn't go through '95 without getting a glimpse of EVIL KIKUCHI. He's even switched to evil black tights, though he eschewed the evil goatee. Sadly he seems pretty banged up and out of it by this point, so he doesn't do a ton and leaves the heavy lifting to his partners. The first half of this is all about setting up Kawada as a killer, as he chokes out Misawa and is basically treated almost as a no-selling monster heel from the way he carries himself and the urgency with which Kobashi and Akiyama take him on. After that it bogs down into a pretty through-the-motions tag, with a through-the-motions FIP segment on Akiyama and a through-the-motions finish with M…

Other Deep Dive stuff??? Entertaining but awkward encounter. Now me personally I'd like to think that these two could really have had a good to great match if this was, say, at least 1999/2000 Takayama and St. Clair was a bit younger. There's a good mix between the pair's technical backgrounds (Clair's WoS antics opposed to Takayama's UWF/Takada training) that COULD have worked. The issue is that this is a German Catch match, so effort is already not going to be particularly immense on either side. The other is Takayama; this is way too early for him to have a great match; he'd only had at this point a couple of years of fairly mediocre matches in UWF-I undercards wh…
