Regal got into a scrap with Christian during the opening promo of this episode of ECW and he's still selling his arm. Goldust punches Regal all over the place. Goldust has always thrown a nice punch, but the real highlight of this match is Regal's reaction to them. He sells them well and his facials are top-notch. Regal raking Goldie's face while working a chin lock is a small touch I always appreciate. This is a fairly nothing four minute match with the sole intention of giving Regal some momentum going into his ECW title match next week, but you can still see shades of brilliance from both guys. ★★½

One of my favorite rivalries from CHIKARA and some of Kingston's best work, overshadowed by the Hero series. Here's a video I did on this video and the rematch in 2011.

Batista vs Rey Mysterio - Survivor Series 2009 Batista turned heel on his BFF Rey Rey over the World Heavyweight Championship. A pretty shocking heel turn at the time. Batista had been positioned as 1A to John Cena and Rey Mysterio is the bastion of babyface. It was definitely an effective storyline. It all makes given Dave's departure after the Cena's series in mid-2010. Watching the video package the build to this was great. It really felt like a Smackdown explodes match because these were the number 1 & 2 babyfaces of the mid-00s of my teen years. Sometimes, I wont give a way a finish in my reviews because I think not knowing the finish is part of the charm…

I found this on AJPW's old Gaora channel on YT (which is long since been defunct) alongside a bunch of gems during a period of time that is infamously hard to get footage from in the first place. This is from their taping of a Taiwan house-show in the finals of a one night tournament; Nishimura got by easily with two fairly short matches while Suwama grinded out two long matches in which he seemingly injured his leg on the second round. I was happily surprised that these two went as hard as they did for a worthless tournament that didn't even matter much. They could've easily stuck on the brakes and coasted, but thankfully this was not the case and we got yet another…
