When I first saw this, I thought Chris Walker had it in the bag.

My money is on Hogan, but yeah, I have never seen this.

This was my other thought.

LMAO

"Jumping Jim is out"

...."Did he jump out?"

So Destor, when you work a battle royal do you have some sort of guidelines as to how long you are supposed to stay in, or is it more like you get tired and then you find the guy who is supposed to eliminate you and tell him you've had enough for the night and then you go get a cold one?

Hey hey I'm here and I'm in

God Brian Knobbs sucks

No one is supposed to eliminate you for the most part unless it's part of an angle or the finish. It's just when you get bored have a guy get rid of you, or just don't counter one of his attempts.

Wouldn't have guessed this as my final four.

The final four are pre-determined.

Do you have any way of knowing how long the thing has been going on?

usually.

God, that crowd is hot.

not really

just instinct I guess the ref or the announcer might be tell you, depends

Major whiffs from hogan

Dunno why there is a ref in the ring now.

lol warlord

Neither do the announcers apparently.

Hogan looked like shit in that

Well, I was right about Sid winning. Wrong about the run in or a Hogan/Flair mishap

Yea, just phoned it in. I recently watched a Hogan/Tatsumi Fujinami match from the early 90s and was pleasantly surprised to see how good it was.

"ROWDY RODDY PIPER IS UPSET BECAUSE RIGHT NOW HE SHOULD BE INTERCONTINENTAL AND WW"E" CHAMP!"

Not a bad battle royal though

Destor, is that match you suggested embeddable? Or should we just follow the link?

follow link, download

small file DO IT

I found it on youtube. Gimme a second.

I'm starting it now

who's with me

I saw that too, but it looked really short.

I'm watching it now.

The file is waiting to dl, unless that youtube is the match

Okay, I'm watching the youtube

I dunno how long it is, I'm told it was a sprint so it could be 10 min

Yea, its a sprint.

Taking awhile to d/l. Is that youtube the entire match?

Yea, the Youtube is the entire match. It isn't very long at all.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO puro action

lol that was one heavy back body drop

I thought Akiyama would have been "the guy" by now, but both of his title reigns so far have been kinda flat.

thebell sounds for me

I've got ab 5 min left in the match.

some stiff slaps in the corner

Destor, have you seen the Kroffat/Furnas v Kobashi/Kikuchi match from '92?

This guy has great clotheslines

the slap combo from Yun were crazy

You mean LARIOTOOS!

No but that sounds hotness

he's never thrown a clothesline in his life

Nice t-bone suplex!

Possibly the hottest Japanese crowd I've ever seen. An immense amount of heat, and a good match to boot. You should look it up when you get the chance.

Is it on the ditch? Or should I go threw torrents?

Stiff motherfuckers

Ditch. Shouldn't be hard to find.

If you guys want a long match, the KENTA/Marufuji match is on youtube, but that match goes for about an hour.

I think he hit a clothesline from hell man

It's a good match though.

Tanahashi/Mutoh from a few days ago is up on youtube also, if you want to stick to puro. Epic match.

Welcome to the world of puroresu

sweet

Who's up? Me? Or someone else? I have a random pick lined up, which I probably haven't seen since it was on tv so it might not be that good.

Go for it Jeri.

Damn fine match so far

FYI, you guys didn't watch the same match I did

:?: I thought that was the same one.

An old Raw main event

very good match, whats up now

Pardon the killer

The match we watched finished with Akiyama beating Mori with a standing front guillotine.

I guess it's got the promos and the buildup at the beginning. Whatever. Foley promos and the like

Mori won with a seated lariat

Eddie :heart:

Marking out for the start to this match

Eddie's elbow injury was brutal watch.

I'm starting to remember this. I hope what I think happens happens

Anyone else watching this?

Did you get it from ditch? Cause the link you sent shows up with a filename Morishima v Rikio 08. The link I followed from ditch shows up as 2008.12.07 - Jun Akiyama vs. Tak..avi

lol Rock was so over he was a huge pop hot tag even when it wasn't a hot tag situation

Yea. Can't believe crowds used to be this hot.

HHH in his prime right here. Yea, the crowd is unreal

Great ending.

wow. that was great

Colonel DeBeers should never be forgotten.

That's your classic attitude era clusterfuck main event. Great though. I loved time periods like that where all of the fueds and angles, for the most part, were tied to eachother.
Similar to the winter before it as well.

lol at Welcome to the Jungle

wow. That's heat

Yea, random theme for the DeBeers character.

Sorry, there wasn't any actual wrestling in that clip, I just thought it was interesting. Not too many people know DeBeers or about his gimmick.

he got his way?!? Lol, wow

If you'd like, you can go again with another pick since nobody seems to be in here but us

A little about Col DeBeers

If you want me to, I will. Give me a few to find something worthwhile though. Any suggestions?

It doesn't neccessarily need to be a match. It can be promos or segments too. I was thinking about setting up official directions and rules for the thread and trying to get a sticky for it.

A follow up on Colonel DeBeers.


ROFL

I think its a good idea. Although it wouldn't take place on TPWW directly, I think if you set up a chatroom for this then it would run smoother. Then you could get people to start watching at the same time and get immediate discussion.

I liked the Worm better when the crowd didn't sing along.

Who's turn is it?

I'll go

k go
