COVID Comp Tape #4

The whole playlist is here, for your continuous viewing pleasure.
Mark Rocco vs Fuji Yamada - June 13, 1987


 Maskless Liger comes to the ring with a sword, Mark Rocco comes to the ring looking like he read a book about how Japanese people dress. The match is good, though.

 Ronnie Garvin vs Russ Tyler - June 1, 1988



I've watched a ton of Crockett this year. A good chunk of it is just guys bleeding 7 seconds after the bell rings and matches that are too long, but Ron Garvin slaps the shit out of people, like 2020 Kazuyuki Fujita without the postmodern staring contest.

Octagon vs Fuerza Guerrera - November 3, 1991

I write this every week, but I don't know anything about Lucha. So, whatever I say may, and probably will, be wrong. Octagon has never impressed me, I haven't seen a ton, but he seems to just be there most of the time. Fuerza seems pretty good. This match is great though, the best performance I've ever seen from Octagon.

Vader vs Dan Bobish - June 29, 2003



This era of Vader is hit and miss, and mostly misses. He has a match with Hashimoto at one of the first HUSTLE shows that is a complete stinker. Dan Bobish is a giant MMA fighter who, unlike a lot of the Pride guys who tried wrestling in this period, never really got any credit. He is pretty good. Just a couple of big boys roughhousing.

 Katsuyuri Shibata & KENTA vs Akira Taue & Go Shiozaki - September 9, 2006



The first one of these comps had Taue vs Marufuji. This is sort of the same thing, except instead of Marufuji, its two guys who are giant dicks and kick dudes real hard. Go Shiozaki is here too, before he got really good. He gets beat up for a lot of this, as you might expect.

Hana Kimura vs Mika Iwata - April 19, 2018



We lost Hana Kimura this week under incredibly unfortunate circumstances, as I'm sure you are aware. Be kind to each other.

Saree vs Yoshiko - February 22, 2020


People got mad at Saree for cashing out and signing with WWE this year, because pro wrestling is Minor Threat or something. Yoshiko is maybe the most underrated Joshi wrestler in the world right now, she's a great monster. Saree throws her with some cool suplexes and cool suplexes are what wrestling is all about.

[04-30-2006] John Cena vs Triple H vs Edge

-

John Cena beat Triple H at Wrestlemania, but only because Triple H underestimated him, at least according to Triple H. He wants a rematch, but Edge won at WrestleMania, so he wants a shot at Cena. So, they both get a match with the champion at Backlash. Edge dips out early to let Triple H and Cena fight it out, and they are happy to oblige. Cena gets the advantage early, covers HHH, but Edge slips in the ring to break it up, and then pops right back out. The same thing happens when Triple H goes for a cover. Triple H and Cena are slugging it out, with Edge cheering them on from the apron. Eventually, they grow tired of Edge's shtick and team up to go after the Rated R Superstar. From here, we get a series of the guys coupling off, first Triple H and Edge, then Cena and Edge, and then Triple H and Edge. typical triple threat fair, with nothing much of note except for Cena hitting a top rope splash on Edge. Edge grabs Triple H is a sleeper and Cena slides in the rings, picks both up

[08-20-2006] John Cena vs Edge

-

  We've chronicled most of this feud up to this point. Edge cashed in the Money in the Bank in January, and Cena reclaimed the title at Royal Rumble. We didn't see Edge winning the title on Raw in a triple threat with Cena and RVD in July, but Cena had RVD beat until Edge stole the pin. After that, our last installment, Edge got Disqualified at Saturday Night's Main Event. Since then, Edge had sex on TV and slapped Cena's dad, bringing us here, Cena challenging Edge in Boston and if Edge gets DQ'ed, he loses the title.  Cena comes out ultra-confident and Edge is not, he knows Cena has his number and that, in some ways, the deck is stacked against him due to the stipulation, on top of this match being in Cena's backyard. All Cena early until Edge throws him into the ring post and takes over. Edge seems to think his best chance of winning is to have Cena counted out, and he attempts that feat twice to no avail. On the second 9 count, the Anti-Cena crowd really sho

[01-01-2022] Big E vs Bobby Lashley vs Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens vs Brock Lesnar - WWE: Day 1

  Roman got COVID, so WWE threw Brock Lesnar in a Fatal 4-Way, and proceeded to have a 5-way hoss sprint. It ruled. Just non-stop big moves, all gas no brakes. Brock starts spamming suplexes, especially throwing some brutal ones on Kevin Owens. Big E dumps Brock out of the ring. Lashley brains E on the ring post then spears Brock through the barricade. Owens and Rollins, non-hosses, team up to try and match meat with Lashley and the Brock. That brings us to the plunder portion, Ring steps, the top of the announce table, all leading to Big E hitting a uranage on Lashley through the table. Seth and KO take over again on Brock and then E. Big E gets the knees up on Owens' Moonsault but Rollins follows right up with a Frog splash. Seth goes to Stomp Brock, but no. Brock F-5s him, then E, then KO, Brocks primal, and then he eats a Lashley spear. Hurt Lock on Brock, Big breaks it up, Big Ending on Lashley, F-5 on Big E and Brock is the new champ.  I don't know what Roman-Brock was su
