Wrestlers Shooting on Someone in the Ring - Page 2

Taka Michinoku vs The Great Sasuke

There's a sequence of moves where Sasuke has Taka in the corner, hitting him with punches and kicks. Eventually Taka slumps to the floor in the corner. Sasuke continues kicking him, but Taka appears to at least attempt to block the strikes. As Sasuke moves away, Taka drops his hands only to receive a spinning back kick right in the face.

This is a difficult one for me to judge - if it was a work and not a shoot, then Taka sold it very very well. But the kick looked too hard and too technically correct for it to be a work.

Have you guys seen this match? What do you think?

I don't recall the match, but from what I've heard, Sasuke can be a dick in the ring at times, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, just watched that last night. That looked NASTY. I think it was just more of the Great Sasuke being irresponsible/reckless with his kicks and not a shoot.

I love how Taka immediately gets up and looks like he's gonna kill Sasuke and then he just stops and tries the sell the move like it knocked him out.

Youell is right. The planned finish was the DQ. But, Bret just held him in the move wayyyy longer then he was going too.

Perry Saturn beat the shit out of jobbers every week near the end of his run. Vito DeNucci was another victim.

Correction on the Goldberg/Regal thing - Regal went public and swore blind (long after he left WCW) that he did exactly what he was told to do by an agent and Goldberg knew what was going on. When they got backstage, Goldberg and Regal shook hands but Bischoff went nuts about the match. When Regal expected the agent to back him up since he told him what to do, the agent sided with Bischoff.
