Sid vs. Nightstalker at Clash of Champions 13 is an all timer, and a short fun one.

yeah to emphasize just a few of the things that happen on this show:

a crucifixion at the start that takes like an hour
the GM, who is Pinhead from Hellraiser I believe, is stabbed in the neck because he won't give someone a title shot
two title matches with a total run time of under 30 seconds
A 30 man battle royal that takes 5 minutes

and also a really good match with Chris Dickinson and Masato Tanaka!

I think back to 1997 when Sid vs The Nightstalker was seen as this all time bad match and now it just seems quaint.

And I'm not afraid to die.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

This is a tiny petty question:

Did the "Farting Nattie" thing that WWE did a while back ever lead to anything? Anything at all?

Were there matches where she farted? Was there a specific wrestler that took umbrage to her farts and they had a feud? Or even a match or two? Did it ever have an ending, or did she just stop farting for no reason?

There was a match where she had her opponent in the Sharpshooter and made her tap, but then the ref had to step away due to the horrible fart smell and Natalya broke the hold in order to ask WTF, only to lose.

I recall that she turned face at some point and kind of owned the farting by using it against a heel backstage with confidence. After that, the gimmick stopped.

I was going to ask if you had the terrible Beau match where he does a Lady of the Lake style spot. Turns out it's at 20:30 in that very episode you posted :doh:

Beau is like one of those elderly regional stars who still shows up in the indies, obese and wrestling in a t-shirt and barely capable of moving. Except he was always that way.

You are going to have to be more specific! But Beau did book himself as the focal point a bunch but the more egregious example was having his wife be the Hogan of their women's title because she's honestly even worse than Beau.

My favorite thing about SSW is the crowds are always dead. lovely "old school" workers pride themselves on working the crowd and getting heat but Beau's matches are always dead.

It's amazing, the people James has had on SSW. Like, Jimmy Valiant doesn't surprise me, but even if it's just for a check, I don't know how he would make it worth Jerry Lawler's while to show up and legitimize a bad imitation of himself.

Worse than Beau? She's very bad, but her style is so unambitious that there's not a lot to gently caress up. Watching her do basic mat wrestling is hilarious. Beau can't do basic holds without loving them up, and he's so unfit that he can't do any kind of bump. Misty can at least do a vertical suplex if her opponent doesn't sandbag her.

just like someone had to carry Boogie Woogie Man's coke(and spend the next 40 years talking about what an illustrious career they've had), someone also had to be the bagman to get a couple teens to recant their story. What better way to call in an old brother-brother favor than by bringing in the King to pop dozen of fans.

Years ago Mick Foley did one of his stand up shows here in Calgary and had Natalya as a surprise guest. At the end they did a q/a thing, so naturally I asked Nattie about the farting gimmick. I don’t really remember her response, mostly I just recall being really drunk and my girlfriend was not impressed.

Sabu vs Sandman at November to Remember 97 is a bizarre exercise in trying to build a 20 minute match around a handful of crude table and ladder spots with absolutely nothing in between

I just watched the rematch at Korakuen Hall, and the finish was Sabu throwing a ladder on to the ground next to Sandman, then hurling his own body directly on the ladder. Sabu got the pin.
