November 15, 201311 yr comment_5572680 Maybe not as stiff as the Japan matches mentioned above, but I was watching the One Man Gang vs. Big Bubba Rogers match from the Mid-South set last night and thought of this thread. The first half of the match is pretty much just fat guys throwing bombs at each other.
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572790 Finlay vs Regal in the parking lot brawl from Nitro probably fits the bill.
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572791 The Hashimoto/Regal IWGP title match from '95 would be my pick.
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572842 Nasty Boys vs. Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan at Slamboree 1994 in Philly
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572844 Vader vs Boss man from Spring Stampede 1994 is a fun super heavyweight sprint where they knock the stuffing out of each other. Bossman's best match?
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572846 I gotta throw a mention to Steiners vs. Fujinami/Iizuka from WrestleWar '92. Iizuka just gets the HELL beaten out of him.
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572893 I gotta throw a mention to Steiners vs. Fujinami/Iizuka from WrestleWar '92. Iizuka just gets the HELL beaten out of him. I was live in Jacksonville for the Steiners beat down on Iizuka and it was even more brutal watching from the second row.
November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572940 Some of those Garvin vs Valentine matches are pretty stiff. I enjoyed an MSG one they had just as much as the Rumble match, can't remember the date.
November 18, 201311 yr comment_5573157 Personally, I liked the Kobashi/Sasaki match from the Tokyo Dome in '05. Kobashi's match from the same venue a year prior with Jun Akiyama is just a brutal, stiff fight. The Low-Ki vs. KENTA match from ROH Final Battle '05 is stiff as all hell.
November 18, 201311 yr comment_5573159 Dream Rush Tag. Hokuto/Kandori's already been mentioned. There's a shitload of Joshi from then (and other times) that could apply, but you might as well take the best matches.
November 19, 201311 yr comment_5573295 All of the Shibata/Goto and Shibata/Ishii matches from this year seem to fit the bill.
November 20, 201311 yr comment_5573461 Lioness Asuka vs. Yumiko Hotta (AJW 3/26/95) Dubbed a UFC Rules Match, just insanely brutal.
December 17, 201311 yr Author comment_5576402 I recently saw Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki, and I'm amazed that it hasn't been mentioned yet. In fact, it pretty much epitomizes what I had in mind when I created this thread.
December 17, 201311 yr comment_5576404 There's a Kawada/Nagai match from 2001 where Nagai basically gets nothing in at all and Kawada just destroys him. He busts out the half crab and stomps, which made me cringe.
