May 13, 201411 yr Author comment_5603159 Thinking of adding Dusty/Graham bullrope match. Havent seen it so if someone has lmk if its worth an add. I feel like i've seen PG-13 in a good brawl but i cant remember. Maybe against RnR
May 13, 201411 yr comment_5603160 Add MX vs. Fantastics from Clash 1 ( 3/88). Really great brawl that even sees Cornette throwing around chairs.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_5603163 You gotta have the Valentine vs Piper dog collar match from the first Starrcade
May 13, 201411 yr comment_5603176 I noticed you've got one of the Fabs/Moondogs matches on the list. I don't know which one it is cause they had a bunch, but the blow off where Jackie Fargo comes back to replace Steve Keirn is tremendous.
May 13, 201411 yr Author comment_5603177 The one i have finished in the top 20 of the Memphis set so i added it. I havent seen it.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_5603188 I saw Kawada/Hansen 2/28/93 added and I agree, it's one of the most violent matches with no weapons I've ever seen. Tully vs. Magnum Cage I Quit match ought to be on there if it isn't. And since we're showing the Hansen love, the NJPW match where he knocked Vader's eye out of it's socket probably qualifies.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_5603193 Didn't see the Hansen/Vader one the first time thru. Must be blind.
May 16, 201411 yr Author comment_5603511 I'm watching the Old School with Corino featuring Tommy Rich and there has to be some good Rich stuff out there I'm missing. I have the Funk ECW match.
May 17, 201411 yr comment_5603515 I'm watching the Old School with Corino featuring Tommy Rich and there has to be some good Rich stuff out there I'm missing. I have the Funk ECW match. A Memphis match comes to mind immediately. When he was teaming with Eddie Gilbert as the New Fabs they have a great brawl with the PYT that goes all over the building. I can't remember the date off hand ( 84 sometime). I'm sure he has more great stuff from Memphis. There is a clipped match against Buzz from Southwest. Haven't watched it in years to remember much about it. That might be worth seeking out.
May 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5604379 Is there anything from PPW, NWA Wildside, CZW, or any other lesser known Indies that have great brawls worth adding?
June 1, 201411 yr Author comment_5605298 I'm starting to view some of the suggestions and I'm thinking of bumping this up to 200/250. I think this is definitely going to be a comp and I might even add a couple slugfests from UFC like Guida/Sanchez and Griffin/Bonnar. I'm not 100% on that though. I'll need to skim through and make sure every match is at least some kind of brawl as well. I don't want anything that just feels like a normal match.
June 6, 201411 yr Author comment_5606081 More matches I've been thinking of adding. Any feedback or additions help. Cena vs Wyatt- Payback 14 Punk vs Raven- Dog Collar 03 Sangre Chicana vs Villano 3- IWRG 9/3/09 Flair vs Foley- Impact 10/7/10 Blue Panther vs Villano V- CMLL 9/29/08 Aries vs Jacobs- ROH 11/8/08 and 11/22/08 Luke Gallows vs Jake Davis- EPWA 10/15/11 Valentine vs Piper- Starrcade 83 Cena vs Guerrero- Parking lot brawl La Fiera vs Jerry Estrada- Chain match Pirata Morgan vs El Faraon- EMLL 11/16/90 Tupelo Concession- 9/4/81 Thrillseekers vs Bodies- SMW 8/5/94 Colon vs Hansen- Cage and Bullrope Hansen vs Blackwell- AWA 6/86 Rockers vs Rose/Somers- AWA 8/86 Edge vs Matt Hardy- Cage match El Dandy vs Satanico- 12/14/90 Elimination Chamber- NYR 05 Park vs Mesias- 2011
June 15, 201411 yr comment_5607337 I don't know if you are still doing this or not but Halloween vs. Super Parka from Gimnasio Nuevo Leon 10/23/2005 should be added. I saw clips of this a couple years ago but finally saw the whole match. Just an insane bloodbath with Halloween's back looking like a war zone. It involves tables, lighttubes and brawling in the crowd. Plus Volador Jr's half parka/half Volador Sr. mask.
June 15, 201411 yr Author comment_5607404 That sounds fuckin awesome. Yea I still plan on doing this I'm just waiting to make sure I have a varied, expansive list. That's why all the input helps.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_5608666 I would vote YES to both Cena vs Wyatt at Payback and Raven vs Punk in the Dog Collar match. I watched Payback with a VERY casual wrestling fan (basically, he only watched when I'm in town) and he was losing his shit for the Cena vs Wyatt match, especially when Cena tossed the stairs.
June 21, 201411 yr comment_5608889 Isn't there a pretty violent Cena vs. Umaga Last Man Standing match out there?
June 21, 201411 yr comment_5608890 LA Park vs. Dr. Wagner, Jr. from TxT last Spring would fit in fine here. Not sure how others might rate it, but I thought it was a fantastically fun brawl. Plenty of bleeding, to the point where Park's mask is tattered & torn, just dangling off his face - along with a blood-soaked white bandage - which makes for a sickeningly spectacular visual. The action is great. Both guys bleed. They fight everywhere. There's stairs, chairs, and FIRE. It's tremendous.
June 21, 201411 yr comment_5608901 From the Brutal Instances of Color thread, both Mayumi Ozaki vs. Mima Shimoda from 1999 and the Mad Dog Vachon blade job gone horribly wrong do not disappoint.

The action is great. Both guys bleed. They fight everywhere. There's stairs, chairs, and FIRE. It's tremendous. Many will not agree with me. Hell, if I put in the time and watch a bunch of classics I've seen and since forgotten I may not agree. But right now Park vs. Wagner is the singular match I would recommend to someone looking to taste lucha.
