Match of the Day - 10/19/2015: Taryn Terrell vs. Gail Kim!

Taking it to TNA for today’s Match of the Day, where Taryn Terrell goes against Gail Kim in a Last Knockout Standing Match. This match took place at Slammiversary back in 2013, and it definitely put Taryn Terrell on the map as a competitor (Tiffany, anybody?). In my opinion, this match stole the entire show, which is rare in itself, since not many women’s wrestling matches achieve this feat on the major leagues level (WWE, TNA…). This is also marks the first of many great matches they would have against one another for the next two years, including a #1 Contenders Ladder Match.

Match of the Day - 10/15/2015: Jumbo Tsuruta vs Stan Hansen!

Short synopsis for each Wrestler and Match of the Day blogs this week.

Today's Match of the Day is the incredible match of Jumbo Tsuruta vs Stan Hansen, two all-time greats in the business. Also, this is the match that started everything. Arguably one of the most prestigious championships in professional wrestling is the Triple Crown Championship. On the night of April 18, 1989, the NWA International, PWF Heavywight, and the NWA United National Championships were unified. The winner would be crowned the very first Triple Crown Champion.

Short synopsis for each Wrestler and Match of the Day blogs this week.

Today's Match of the Day is the classic FMW No-rope Exploding Barbwire Timebomb Deathmatch of Atsushi Onita vs. Terry Funk. This is the match that got me heavily into the Deahtmatch concept of professional wrestling, and there is no doubt that these two are true pioneers of this style of wrestling.

Match of the Day - 10/8/2015: Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma!

Sorry... yet another short and sweet write-up due to a BUSY week. I'm serious.

Today's Match of the Day is Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma in what is billed an "All Night Long" Iron Man Match for the Lucha Underground Championship! I mean, should really write up an explanation of this great match? Just watch for yourself. And as Lionel Richie sings, it's All Night Loooooooong, do do do.... By the way, this match will be divided up into 3 parts.

Match of the Day - 10/7/2015: Neville vs. John Cena!

Sorry... yet another short and sweet write-up due to a BUSY week. I'm serious.

Today's Match of the Day is Adrian Neville vs. John Cena for the United States Championship. And, yes, I know I'm gonna get a little "heat" for this. Oh, well. I actually enjoyed this match. Hope you enjoy it, too!

Match of the Day - 10/6/2015: Togi Makage vs. Tomohoro Ishii!

Today's Match of the Day goes to Togi Makabe vs. Tomohoro Ishii, two of the most dangerous men in Puroresu today. This hard-hitting match took place on January 4th, 2015 at WrestleKingdom 9, which it was contested for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. Let me tell ya, this is a match that the late great Bruiser Brody would be proud of. The match was demolition derby, and nothing but. What makes the match even more worth the watch is the fact that Ishii went 20 minutes with a shoulder and knee injury, and went through the match as if the injuries didn't phase him at all. This is good one. Enjoy!

Match of the Day - 10/5/2015: Cesaro vs. John Cena

I know I'm gonna get a little "heat" for this, but it's all good. Today's Match of the Day is Cesaro vs. John Cena. This match was during Cesaro's time as a heel back in 2014, where he challenges Cena's wrestling ability, which he goes on to say that "he can't wrestle". He even joked about his.... shoes? Nonetheless, this was a great match, and it truly shows why Cesaro is the real deal. Cesaaro even received praise for his work against Cena in this match. What saddens me is the fact that the way Cesaro's being used in the WWE is mind-baffling. Where does it end? Cesaro truly has what it takes to be that top WWE Superstar that WWE wants in their company. So, what's holding them back? C'Mon, dude. Seriously? How can you NOT be impressed by this guy?! Enjoy this great match while I calm down...

Match of the Day - 10/2/2015: Trish Stratus vs. Lita!

I apologize for the lateness. Weather's been really nerve-racking down here. Just going to make these next couple of posts short and sweet.

Today's Match of the Day goes to one of the greatest WWE Divas matches in the history of the company, Trish Stratus vs Lita!

Match of the Day - 10/1/2015: Steenrico vs. The Young Bucks!

Today’s Match of the Day goes to Steenrico (Kevin Steen & El Generico) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)! This match took place at Final Battle 2009, and if there is one thing that Ring of Honor is well-known for, it is for their outstanding tag team division, and this match certainly does not disappoint. This is one of my all-time favorite Ring of Honor tag team matches, simply because it’s amazing! To be honest, this is the match that truly defined both tag teams. No wonder they have become so successful in other companies. El Generico and Kevin Steen would go to have success in the WWE and NXT developmental territories, where they both held the NXT Championship, and even revamp their longtime rivalry. The Young Bucks would go to become multi-time global double champions, and enjoy success as member of the global phenomenon known as The Bullet Club. This match is going to be a fun one. So sit back…. Or sit on the edge of your seats for that matter, and enjoy this match!

Match of the Day - 9/30/2015: The Shield vs. Evolution!

Two of the greatest factions in WWE history face off in what I like to call a “generational tribalism” match in today’s Match of the Day! During their heyday, Evolution (Ric Flair, Triple H, Batista, and Randy Orton) was one of the most dangerous and successful tandems that WWE has seen in a long time. The Four Horsemen-inspired faction, led by “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, enjoyed tremendous success by capturing every major title the company had to offer at the time. Fast forward nearly a decade later, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) bursts on the scene, bringing in a different meaning of the word “team”. Clad in SWAT Team attire, the trio fought for what they perceived as “injustices”, and decimated anyone who was foolish enough to get in their way. They had no problems when it came to championships, either, when they held the WWE United States and Tag Team Championships during their time as a team.

So, what do you get when two mega factions of the past and present clash? A pure classic encounter. So, here it is! This particular match took place at last year’s Extreme Rules, several months before The Shield disbanded.

Match of the Day - 9/29/2015: Kenta Kobashi vs. Mitshuharu Misawa!

Its Pro Wrestling NOAH’s turn to be showcased as Today’s Match of the Day goes to two mega stars of the company, Kenta Kobashi vs. the late great Mitshuru Misawa! During their heyday, these two were on the top of the mountain wherever they went – more so Misawa, who has had 23 5-Star matches (maybe more, if ya ask me) in his career. Kenta Kobashi, to his credit, has continued to remain very popular among the fans even after retiring from in-ring competition due to being diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, Misawa’s career and life came to end when he passed away due to injuries suffered during a tag team match back in 2009. This particular match greatly depicts what a professional wrestling match should look like. It’s like poetry in motion, ya know? Not once do you see an error being made by these two in this match. This is PURORESU at its finest. Watch this match and prepare to be educated.

Match of the Day - 9/28/2015: Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka!

We’re taking it to Japan with Today’s Match of the Day, which goes to the late Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka. These two had a rivalry that spanned for the better part of a decade and through two promotions (these two reignited their rivalry in the WWE), and they tore the house down every time they stepped in the ring against one another. This match took place for the Pro Wrestling Zero-1 promotion in Japan back in 2004. This is one of my favorite encounters of the two, because of the spots and bumps taken by both men – and lets not forget the undeniable agility for both men for their size! JEEZUS. Anyways, enjoy the match. This is just one of their classic encounters!
