El Hijo del Santo vs Negro Casas - July 18, 1987


I was thinking about Hijo del Santo early this week, and I'm not entirely sure, but if you asked me right now, I think I'd say he's the greatest wrestler off all time. His offense is perfect and he puts together great matches. Negro Casas would be the best luchador ever if Santo didn't exist.

El Hijo del Santo vs Psicosis - May 3, 1995


These guys supposedly have a ton of great matches, but this is the only one I've seen. If this is any indication, I'd bet the rest are pretty great.

El Hijo del Santo & Negro Casas vs Bestia Salvaje & Scorpio Jr. - March 19, 1999


I don't know a ton about Salvaje, supposedly he's a guy who shines in trios matches, and honestly I'm not going out of my way to watch random trios matches, so I don't know, but he's good here.

El Hijo del Santo vs Blue Panther - April 9, 2000


Older Santo, older Blue Panther, still great. 

Billy Scott vs Yoshihiro Takayama - June 10, 1994


Yesterday morning I was thinking about Billy Scott, so I watched a bunch of stuff today. UWFi had some weird pipeline of southern wrestlers, and Scott is far and away the best of them. Here he is with a young Takayama. 

Billy Scott vs Gary Albright - April 20, 1995


Billy Scott could do the real slick grappling stuff all he wanted, but when it came time to build Gary Albright, UWFi had him be suplexed into a living death. 

Billy Scott vs Kenichi Yamamoto - October 23, 1996


This is a real humdinger, probably Scott's best match, and one of my favorite UWFi matches.

[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
