So... any loving Bryan Danielson match is what you guys are getting at.

Bryan Danielson is a very good wrestler who has wrestled many, many matches because he lives for the wrestling business.

It's not hard to see why he has a lot of well-regarded matches.

I was browsing through Sara Del Rey's website (a Twitter post popped up saying she had a new shirt) and she apparently has a DVD that includes a match between her and CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI.

My question is, has anyone seen this match, and where did it happen? (and how was it?)

A lot is missing, but there's still some footage out there. Much of the Wrestling Gold Collection was filled with Memphis stuff.

A big problem with Memphis is that the footage out there often isn't masters. In fact, years ago someone bought masters of months of 80s shows from a garage sale but didn't have the money to restore most of it. The other problem I've read is it isn't legally clear who owns the rights to the footage so WWE doesn't want to deal with it. Budget bin videos can go under the radar so they don't worry about the video quality being poor or getting sued.

They also don't own St. Louis. Allegedly Triple H has begged Vince to buy the tape library because the atmosphere of Wrestling at the Chase looks cool but Vince doesn't want to spend the money to restore it. I don't think they own San Francisco or LA either, and they may not own all of Portland's footage. They don't have CWA out of the gulf coast, either, although "major" may or may not apply to it. It was a prominent territory.

They had a "Match" at KOT 2010, but that was due to her being selected for Osirian Portal's team to go against BDK, which Claudio/Sara are part of. I'm not sure if they've legit had a real match yet.

o ok i thought you were being facetious (while i was being suggesting it seriously).


I'm watching the ending of raw again for like the hundredth time. Half of them hit Cena with their finisher (Otunga spinebuster, Danielson kick, Barrett fall-toward slam, Gabriel's 450) but the other half hit clotheslines. Did none of those guys have a consistent finisher for the entire first season or did they maybe just not want to exhibit too many flashy moves?

You're good people Web Jew.0, I don't know why I kept drawing this poo poo out.

Also, maybe they were trying to lay off that many neck-based finishers in a row in this otherwise throw-away instance.
Also, Young's whatever-that-is looks pretty loving bad from a wrong angle.

Sting was using it by around 87, Bret didn't start until he went solo in 91.

My question regards all the giant portraits of the wrestlers around the top of the arena - how come Hogan has a photo up there despite not being on the card anywhere? Am I missing something significant?

Bret was asked to learn the move and had Konnan teach it to him.

I believe either Tenryu or Tenzan were the first big names to use it.

At the time the theme of the show was "Big Time", as in big time WM moments, Hogan slamming Andre was the default one. And Hogan inducted Mean Gene into the HOF that year.

Not sure if that warrants him having a photo around the ring like other, active wrestlers, but that's what he was doing at the time.
