Posted February 15, 20178 yr comment_5788488 In a PWO2K thread discussing Takayama vs Akiyama, Loss posed the intriguing question: Is there a better match where the participants have rhyming names? After thinking about it for at least 20 minutes, I think I came up with a reasonable suggestion, but since then the idea has been rattling around in my brain non-stop. Did this one ever happen? ...because it could be right up there: Jack Brisco vs Larry Zbyszko Dick Togo vs Mr. Pogo I think the following might have happened at some point, but probably would not have been as good as Akiyama vs Takayama (or Jushin Liger vs Black Tiger): Porkchop Cash vs Kevin Nash Black Bart vs Bret Hart I think the following certainly never happened, but I'd like to see them: Asian Cooger & Freddy Krueger* vs Lex Luger and Bastion Booger *(Doug Gilbert's IWA Japan persona) Daniel Bryan vs Raja Lion Koko Ware & B. Brian Blair vs The Nature Boy Ric Flair & Terrible Ted the Wrestling Bear El Felino vs Sammartino The Garvins* vs The Marvins** *(Rugged Ron and Gorgeous Jimmy) **(Ricky and Rocky) Sangre Chicana vs Colt Cabana vs Tito* Santana *(or Ricky) These were the worst ones I came up with: Fabulous Moolah vs The Butcher, Abdullah Aja Kong vs Theodore R. Long What have you got?

February 15, 20178 yr comment_5788495 Pretty sure Ikuto Hidaka vs. Minoru/Masato Tanaka has happened a few times. Same with Yuji Okabayashi vs. Abdullah Kobayashi.

February 15, 20178 yr comment_5788504 Cactus Jack vs Hardcore Hak Eddy Guerrero vs Villano Tercero Hansen and Brody vs (Charly) Manson and Lodi Maxx Payne and Damien Kane vs Steven Dane and Lenny Lane Tank Abbott vs Baby Rabbit Insane Clown Posse vs Ted DiBiase Doink the Clown vs Bad News Brown William Regal vs Starship Eagle (an ECW match at Barely Legal) Mile Zrno vs Disco Inferno Edge and Christian vs Men on a Mission Commentary would be handled by Stevie Ray and Mike Tenay.
February 15, 20178 yr Author comment_5788511 I found a pretty good real-life one: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzgmh1_07-suwama-vs-ryota-hama-ajpw-04-24-13_sport
February 15, 20178 yr Author comment_5788578 Rock vs Brock, guest ref (Nick) Bock(winkel) Undercard could be Don Muraco vs. Mr. Socko
February 25, 20178 yr comment_5789644 I think Raven vs Maven happened on Raw in 2002. I'm not sure if Ricky Morton ever faced Scott Norton.
February 26, 20178 yr Author comment_5789681 Ha ha! Man, I had forgotten all about Maven. Nice one. Did Jerry Lawler ever fight the Brooklyn Brawler?
March 5, 20178 yr comment_5790421 Jumbo Tsuruta vs Sean Maluta Eddie Guerrero vs D'Angelo Dinero "Sick" Nick Mondo vs Mad Man Pondo Ronnie Garvin vs Ricky Marvin and my personal favorite Catweazle vs Diesel
March 6, 20178 yr Author comment_5790597 Ice Train vs. Powers of Pain If we are gonna allow handicap matches, I'd also go for the Brisco(e) Brothers vs Tracy Smothers Catweazle vs Diesel That is beautiful.
March 7, 20178 yr comment_5790783 Even WAR never hosted Tom Zenk, Vince Russo & Awesome Kong vs Missing Link, Jimmy Uso & Teddy Long. But we did see Sting vs Meng in a WCW ring. But you had to fork over bling and have a cable box thing.
March 8, 20178 yr comment_5790890 You mention Ware & Blair vs. Flair & Bear in the first post as a joke, but Ware vs. Flair happened in 1985 in a kick ass match. Unless the lack of "l" in Ware's name is enough to DQ it as a rhyme.
