Right on. Thought I'd pass the information your way. Especially since I put it on a pedestal. Btw, if you remember Colin Delaney from WWECW circa 2008, well he's Colin Olsen in the match if you weren't aware. He OWNS, haha.
The only Murdoch matches I was aware of in the indies were with IWA-MS. Some of the smaller ones apparently evaded me. And I didn't even know Gallows worked some stuff in the states except for Wrestling Revolution Project. Thought he was only in Japan after his release.

Gallows supposedly has a really incredible LMS match vs Jake Davis as part of a long running feud which has also apparently has a fun cage match as the blowoff. The Murdoch match again is a LMS match against Derek Stone and is supposedly worked in a very territory esque fashion with a reliance on proper brawling and big bumps as opposed to making it a propfest.
Speaking of absurdly fun indy tag matches, Seabs pimped this before and I watched it and fell in love with it. Two british skinny dudes get murdered by two big bruisers, some great bumps (one guy tries a Ziggler esque monkey flip bump off an exploder and nearly cripples himself) and despite being an extended squash its pure fun. Match is here:
@ posting the southern tags. I was probably gonna skip on Smackdown till tomorrow anyways so I plan on making those my priority for the night.
Ooooh. I dig matches like that. I remember one like that from Chikara back in 2005. (It included Necro Butcher, so that's probably why it ruled)
Got a text from one of my best friends a while ago because his roommate is big into wrestling and Necro Butcher bled on him once in the crowd of a show. Very proud of it.
Watched Rock v Goldberg for the first time. Liked it a lot and the Rock was pretty fucking great in it. With a really good crowd it would be a much, much more memorable match. Fuck's sake I hate most 2002-2003 WWE crowds. 'holy shit' 'we want tables' 'one more time'. Shut the fuck up I will burn you.

AWESOME. He's so great. During his entrance he high fived me, but kept the grip on my hand shouting, and saying, that he was gonna demolish the guy in the ring and I was marking out so much.
Best 2002 crowd was Survivor Series 2002. They had an excuse to chant "we want tables".

Just watched Kane vs Undertaker - Wrestlemania 14. Very good match, the best match they have had with each other by far IMO. Some great spots like Undertaker going through the announcers table and also some close nearfalls. Kane's character was also very well booked throughout this match because he was dominating the whole match and it took three tombstones to beat him and even after that he wasn't hurt as he attacked Taker after the match lol.
I'm going to watch the rest of Kane - Taker matches but apprantly this was their only good match.
Nah, they had two good matches out of their 3 in 2010. No Holds Barred & Buried Alive. Their original Inferno match wasn't bad either. The only real abyssmal mark in their series was the Hell in a Cell. Which should have been their biggest bout considering the story.

Yeah, fun stuff. I'd put that above their match at WrestleMania 20. I liked the progression of the story going from less than aggressive chain wrestling to a slugfest once the intensity got upped. Finish was logical and fitting for the current programs going down.
Some more random watches:
Survivor Series 1995 - Elimination Match
Bertha Faye, Aja Kong, Lioness Asuka, & Tomoko Watanabe vs Alundra Blayze, Kyoko Inoue, Chaparita Asari, & Sakie Hasegawa ~ **1/2
RAW 11/20/95
Alundra Blayze & Kyoko Inoue vs Aja Kong & Tomoko Watanabe ~ ***
Best Jinder Mahal match, ever. I'm not sold on him at all, but now it's evident with the right opponent he can be a pretty solid heel to work a match with. As unappealing as it might sound for him, working in NXT fits him SO much better than in the WWE. But, it's that tad bit of experience from working in the E that gives him his slight appeal while in NXT. Almost like he's a big fish in a little pond type deal so it makes it all the more bigger for the NXT guys to defeat him. I'll always be one of the biggest supporters of Tyler Black/Seth Rollins. The guy is uber-talented and I'm not gonna think otherwise. About went APE POOP when he recreated his running turnbuckle powerbomb spot on Mahal to lead into the Blackout to win the match. Shades of his matches vs Danielson went flying through my head. Nostalgia. Sometimes that's all you need to get a high. This could go up a tad on a second watch.
Elmination match was hindered by time and slight communication issues, but it still ruled for what it was. And 100x time better than anything the WWE has dished out with "divas" in the last few years. Probably could go past a few years, tbhayley. Bertha Faye is pretty trashy, but the rest were all worth watching. [/Obligatory AJA KONG mark comment.]
Joshi tag on RAW was even better. Lowered the number of women in the match and gave it more time/focus and it really showed that it can make a difference. Plus, Inoue needed another match with the company. Ref fucked her over by counting her shoulders down at Survivor Series when it clearly wasn't meant to occur. KONG owns Blayze again here which leads to my increasing anger since KONG was no doubt gonna get a push towards the championship vs Blayze. Only she hightailed it for WCW like a week after this resulting in nothing. Boo.
