Posted July 28, 201015 yr comment_5453687 This is exactly what you want out of a Billy Black v. Sabu match. Black punches the shit out of Sabu, gets crushed on an unbreakable table, hits a crazy dive, et. Sabu does a seemingly impossible deep leap into the crowd, hits all of his big spots well and gets crushed by Black when appropriate. It's a total spotfest but an utterly enjoyable one that leaves nothing to the imagination. I think others have watched this recently and been disappointed but I thought it was a hell of a match for the style.
August 5, 201015 yr comment_5453972 Billy Black (whoever the fuck he is) was busting his ass. Seriously, who is he... because he mixed in an ab stretch in an ECW Sabu match. And if Jericho has a shit clothesline, the Sabu line RIPS Black's head off. Great bump by Black. I didn't get spotfest vibe. I got two dudes beating the shit out of each other vibe. At points in the match, you get the feeling they are sandbagging moves so they "shoot" execute them anyway (suplex, German). Kind of anti-climatic ending but I enjoyed this. Solid nomination.
August 5, 201015 yr Author comment_5453975 Holy shit you've never seen Billy Black?!? Billy Black is like one of my all time mark out guys. Redneck with mullet doing crazed highspots who punches hard as fuck and is legit crazy even by pro wrestler standards. Teamed with Joel Deaton, worked lots of Southern indies, and a brief ECW run. I've probably seen a grand total of ten matches from him (if that?) but he's still one of my all timers because his mere existence is so random and entertaining.
August 15, 201015 yr comment_5454506 Damn Will, you haven't heard of Billy Black until just then. You are going to love him when you get more footage of him. "Bad Boy" Billy Black vs. "Homicidal, Genocidal, & Suicidal" Sabu Fun watching my boy 4-B work again and he rules here as usual throwing some great punches and goes spot for spot with Sabu mostly while bringing some old school wrestling along as well. The dive into the crowd by Sabu which ended up with him mostly hitting chairs garnered hardly no response from this crowd as they only wanted tables broken by this time in the show. Sabu then tries to put Black through the table but it doesn't break which must've sucked for Black then you had the fans no sell it as well. Sabu then puts himself through the table on the floor to break it after the match which was great. This was a pretty damn fun spotfest and moves forward.
