Mick Foley working an indy show in 2005 ???

 

[Robert]

I wish footage of the Funks and Foley with Heenan in their corner against the Midnight Express would pop up. I'm sure the match isn't great, but it'd be worth it for the Heenan/Cornette interaction.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I remember pieces of this but all together it is better looking back

The Miz is originally going to face TJP. Guest host Snoop Dogg interrupts and replaces TJP with Marty Jannetty.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Titled for the promo that makes up the second half of the video, this is opened with Kevin Nash vs. Naito

Re: Mathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIE6GeVPtMQn't Think Existed

My podcast Not Ready for Prime Time Wrestling did a show where we watched rare/unusual matches.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/smartmarkradio/2018/03/15/not-ready-for-prime-time-wrestling-episode-22-matches-you-never-knew-existed

The matches we covered (and yes, I'm doing a cheap plug so you can listen and watch along):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIE6GeVPtMQ

I know this one was already in the thread but we felt we had to cover it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKCWBI-I7nM

Yes, that's Muta and fucking Goldberg as a team.

(This just happened to play following the second match, but included for completion sake)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLC7rtxbSvY

I never knew this one happened but I'm glad I watched it.

This has my attention:

Kota Ibushi, Johnny Gargano and TJP team up to face Will Ospreay, Marty Scurll and Aleister Black

[HarleyQuinn]

Bret Hart & Undertaker vs. Diesel & Shawn Michaels from 03/17/1996 at MSG.

Then IWGP Champion Shinsuke Nakamura vs Elix Skipper on an episode of TNA Xplosion.

Ultimo Dragon and pre-Rainmaker Okada vs. Jushin Liger and TJP (in a mask)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEmIgUlhIdo

 

[HarleyQuinn]

From 1/14/1990 in AJPW. British Bulldogs vs. The Fantastics (looks like it's clipped and missing 10-12 minutes though, unfortunately)

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Feeling so blessed that me and my hipster brother are going to see KING HAKU lay waste to that South Jersey Dirtbag jailbird Nick Gage! GET EM MENG!

CM Punk vs Pierre Carl Oulette!

Side note: PCO's career resurrgance on the indies recently is one of the bigger wrestling WTFs in 2018.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I figured this is as good as any thread to post this and of course, he's in the match above

Indie darling Quebeccer Pierre versus Danny Maff

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Me and Detective Ventriloquist's pal Anthony Greene goes against one of the greatest trios of all time.

 

[Baby Shoes]

The only way that trio could be better is if Gillberg was bumped to have The Patriot (gimmick) reunite with old partner Buff Bagwell to have HACKSAW leading STARS AND STRIPES (tough guy)

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Hacksaw probably still hates Buff over Fall Brawl '99, bro.

 

[Baby Shoes]

True. I just wanted Hacksaw to put it in the rearview for one of these sick jackets

From Mexico sometime in 1992. Andre the Giant (busting out the RED singlet), Canek, and Villano III vs Bad News Allen, Kokina (Yokozuna) and...THE BLACK SCORPION! It's actually 2 Cold Scorpio under the mask, although the video's thumbnail shows a picture of Flair as the Black Scorpion from 1990. But seeing Andre and Yoko square off is pretty cool, I think

Weird to think one of Nikolai Volkoff's last matches was against DJ HYDE

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Holy shit Brandon Webb is still wrestling. Where's Psycho Mike Osbourne when you need him?

 

[Baby Shoes]

Not a match but Mean Gene interviewing Andy Warhol isn't something I thought existed.

Sgt. Slaughter wants to wrestle Nick Gage in a Boot Camp Match.

I thought Black Label Pro couldn't top Joey Janela Vs D Lo Brown but they just might...

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

This match will light 'em up.
