I met a guy from Winnipeg in a hostel in London and, at a loss for something to converse about, asked if he'd met Chris Jericho. He said his friend sometimes sees him in a dive bar he frequents, and that he's pretty cool.

So for some reason this has been bugging me for awhile and seeing Barry Horrowitz's name kind of brought it back up. Back in the early part of the 2000s, there used to be an indy fed that would be shown on Friday nights on Sunshine Network (so this is probably something someone from Florida would be able to answer). I remember it because Horowitz was one of the top heels in the promotion and I THINK might've been the champion. The one thing I distinctly remember is that he was feuding with Scoot Andrews and there was a video of him attacking Andrews in a parking lot that'd get shown approximately 50 times an episode. Does anyone actually remember this and what the name of the promotion was called?

Horowitz and Andrews both competed for it, and Horowitz was a two-time Hardcore Champion. It also apparently featured Low-Ki and MVP before they were relevant.

Actually, looking through Horowitz's wiki (no clue why I didn't think of that before reading your post) I think it might be Championship Wrestling from Florida since he was apparently the NWA Florida Heavyweight Champion and the time period of the revival (2002) sounds about right. Edit: Or not, looking around more I got this from OWW. quote:2002: Barry Harrowitz main evented for the Florida Wrestling Association on the Sunshine Network.. So that's probably the answer.

So, I was looking at the FCW site and I noticed two new guys Epico and Hunico, who are both masked luchadors. Anyone know the story behind these two or who they were in Mexico. ITs cool as hell that they have a masked lucha tag team getting trained tho

He was really bad in CHIKARA. Not horrible technically, just the most boring luchadore you've ever seen. He did a couple ROH shows and wasn't really that bad, but was put in 6 and 8 man tags. When I saw Incognito at a CHIKARA show live I wanted to capture him and put him in a lab for study just to see how he could make lucha so dull.

I hate Incognito just because he's at his best an average luchadore, but he has an awesome as gently caress name. At least it isn't as bad as the huge waste that was the Mass Transit incident.

LividLiquid posted:Every ECW match had a clean finish, sort of. They were all No DQ. But to actually answer your question, I honestly can't remember a single one. I would assume the Kaientai matches, some of the lucha stuff, and maybe matches with guys like Jericho, Benoit, etc would be totally straight.

Lynn-RVD was really cool at the time when we had never seen anything like it, but now it's a really embarrassing and highly masturbatory series of matches. It's pretty much singlehandedly responsible for the indy stalemate cliche.
