Matches You Didn't Think Existed

[landy1987]

I didn't know this existed until I found it recently so have uploaded it (aired only in Germany as far as I know)

Randy Savage vs. Mr. Hughes

 

[Baby Shoes]

Interesting to see that pop up. Savage vs Hughes main evented the first live show I went to when my dad took me to a house show.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Steiner Brothers vs Chris Benoit & Jushin Liger Part 1

 

[landy1987]

Most of you probably know this happened but may not have seen it:

Bret Hart vs. Andre the Giant WWF 1989

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Wow. I've been waiting to see that match for twenty years, ever since I saw a picture of it on the WWF Ice Cream Bar box.

 

[Sabre]

Bert Hart FTW

Ric Flair vs The Great Khali
In The Dumb But Awesome Fantasy Booking thread I made a joke about Great Khali and Ric Flair being in the same match---not knowing that they actually had a one on one match! And it was for the World title no less!

Nobody's going to call it a workrate classic but this match is everything I'd want from a Khali-'00s Ric Flair match.

 

[Ed Wood Caulfield]

I actually remember watching that match when it originally aired.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

Flair's circle-strut at after chopping and punching Khali was great (3:38).

 

[Baby Shoes]

I think that Flair-Khali match wasn't too long after the Smackdown taping I went to main event by Flair/Batista vs. Deuce and Domino. What a magical time!

Dark match Earthquake vs Joey Abs 2001.
CROSS POST with the Earthquake discussion in the Rumble thread

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Why is Joey Abs dressed liked the 3rd Bushwhacker?

 

[Baby Shoes]

Bushwhacker Kenny Powers Abs

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

My first thought was they were giving Quake a post-Gimmick Battle Royal payday or something, but that match is from December! From HOTW.com:

WWF @ Orlando, FL - TD Waterhouse Centre - December 22, 2001
Earthquake pinned an unknown with the sit-down splash

Mick Foley vs Andre the Giant

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Huh! Ya'd think that Foley would mention wrestling Andre in one of his books. I can't think of another example of an autobiography from a wrestler who interacted with Andre that didn't have some story about hanging out with him.

Well, maybe he does mention it The Hardcore Diaries or Countdown to Lockdown but like I'm gonna read those!

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Kevin Sullivan & Greg Valentine vs Virgil & The Barbarian
The most random of random tag team matches. It's like they picked these names out of a hat.
Hercules & Mr Hughes vs Warlord & Jeff Gaylord
Well, maybe, 2nd most random.

 

[Dobbs3K]

What kind of tag team name for Warlord and Jeff Gaylord is "The Renegades?" Should have called them, "The Lords of Pain", or something like that.

This was one of Bossman's last matches, it took place a week before his death. I hope Bossman's fatal heart attack wasn't because Freddy was haunting him in his nightmares. :'(

 

[Baby Shoes]

i from malaysia i like big boss man theme song

The Genius Lanny Poffo vs Jay Lethal
...so many questions about this match. These announcers are awful.

 

[Brocklock]

This one blew my mind

BAD NEWS BROWN VS SAKURABA

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

"Cowboy" Bob Orton vs "Hellraiser" Thor
"Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr takes on Ludvig Borga.


Why is Mean Gene (or his s non-union equivalent) narrating the opening video package?

Wait, we might have watched this UWF show in a We Watch Shitty Wrestling Club meeting.

 

[Master Thrasher]

Samoa Joe vs. Essa Rios: Jakked, March 3, 2001
It's weird seeing Joe in a WWF ring.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Rick Martel & Brooklyn Brawler vs George & Shunji Takano

So odd...

1> Martel and Steve Lombardi teaming up despite conflicting gimmicks...and conflicting places on the card

2> Brawler on an over seas tour?

 

[alkeiper]

Lombardi was probably doubling as a road agent.

 

[OG]

Ludvig Borga wins IC Title RARE
Ludvig Borga wins the IC title.

1982 BIG DADDY VS THE MISSISSIPPI MAULER (british wrestling)

The Mississippi Mauler would find success in the United States under a new gimmick, Kamala.

Nice ring there. Looks like they got it from a toy store.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Kamala & Jim Duggan vs. Headshrinkers WWF 1993

Kamala+ Duggan vs Fatu and Samu

Sounds like a train wreck...
