Is it possible to link to a specific timestamp in a show on the RealHero archive? They tend to post long shows as one big file so it'd be cool to point people to specific times for matches.

So since there's no Dragon Gate to rec for the next week or so, howabout people check out Toryumon's El Numero Uno 2003 tournament?

Part I - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w80q-AUI0-k
Part II - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7S7SAaVZEM

poo poo yeah. Inundate me with old school Toryumon if you have more. Here's a 2001 clusterfuck tag I like:

9-Man Trios Triple Threat:
CIMA/Fuji/SUWA vs Darkness Dragon/Mochizuki/Kanda vs Dragon Kid/Magnum TOKYO/Ryo Saito


poo poo quality (380p) but what do you want, it was the early days of streaming online video. Watch it on your phone or something. If nothing else, watch the spot that gets set up around 12:45 and pays off around 15 seconds later.

MOTYC: The Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber - John Cena (C) vs AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt vs Baron Corbin vs The Miz

The PPV was average at best but the main event was fantastic and the final stretch was just great with an awesome ending.

Becky/Mickey was real good too.

So shocking that they couldn't develop Ricardo, but Conor is still employed. A fun match, everything Ricardo did was great.

What's also interesting about that match is that a few months later, Ricardo and Conor co-founded The Ascension in FCW.

Marty always looks great when WWE brings him back for a stint or a single match. I heard a few years back that DDP had gotten a hold of him, is he clean now or what?

A flat, lame, botchy match as literally the main event of Wrestlemania is pretty egregious, imo. It's like how that HHH/Orton match at 25 with the rushed finish and a tacked on DQ stip in a grudge feud was a bad match made way worse by being positioned last after HBK/Taker & Cena/Show/Edge.

If this seems overly convoluted, it is. The rules are meant to encourage lots of outside interference, as Dragon Gate is booked around stable warfare so every stable came out to interfere with a vested interest in either getting their guy the title or preventing Verserk (the main heel group) from getting the title.

It's not even the most convoluted version of the match they've had, either. In recent years they've had a "Double Risk" version of the match where each participant had a representative outside the cage, and you had to first pin/submit someone and then get a flag to free your representative from risk of losing their hair/mask. One participant had two representatives because they lost a qualifier, so they had to pin/submit two people before they were eligible to climb for a flag. There were then one fewer flags than participants, so whoever didn't get one had his head shaved or lost his mask.

When actually watching the match though, it was surprisingly straight forward because it gave you visual trackers on screen of who represented who, and who was freed. It's one of the most fun match styles I've ever seen.

Best feud in wrestling continues. Hulk and Shingo have a singles match. It loving ruled.

Yep, 2nd all these.
