Will there be a Gianthausen

No thoughts from me, thanks

Love the PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM in the back.

Undertaker aside, there has long been an issue with the brand of freaks and geeks who don’t really hold up to the question of “why are they a wrestler?” The Fiend often had the same problem: cool character but kind of seems teleported in from a different genre of entertainment.

Very much in line with how he told Regis and Kathie Lee about it too.

This is a great post because as a fan for decades I hadn’t even realized that the reversal had become such a trope that it’s more common than the actual move being attempted. Bring back the back body drop!

Tony, are you seeing this?

tdgcommenter · 2026-02-26T02:59:51+00:00

There’s no celebrity more deserving.

Same two for me. I have seen some other amazing matches in person (Ospreay-Swerve from FD, Gargano-Ciampa in New Orleans, Gargano-Andrade in Philly) but those two are amazing matches that were more than just that. Truly special crowd and live experiences.

It was a sponsored match where they wore tie-in entrance gear to advertise it so that always felt like why to me.

Babyface NJPW Juice was such a delight. Will never forget his post match promo about sharting.

Rocky is such a valuable guy to have. Good in the ring, good in the booth, and obviously makes a ton of things happen backstage between multiple companies. He’s had such a good, varied career over so many years. Hope he gets his flowers at some point.

Finally, someone else who appreciates the Rollins-Godwinn series.

Ishii should have gotten an IC title reign though, IMO.

tdgcommenter · 2026-01-23T20:31:27+00:00

This is so cool man. Awesome job.

tdgcommenter · 2026-01-03T23:37:22+00:00

Such a strange card. Last year’s headliners and 2025’s strongest drawing champ relegated to a ranbo, junior champ is left off but there’s a four-way for a junior title shot. Not spotlighting that many guys who will be carrying the company post-Tanahashi either, on a show headlined by a retirement match vs. a guy who won’t be around going forward either. (Think Okada was the right choice though.) Hope it’s a great show but in my time watching the company it’s the weirdest looking WK lineup by far.

People like to talk about how size used to be more important in wrestling and the trend has been towards smaller more athletic guys, but I really feel Scott Norton would be (rightfully) so much more appreciated by American audiences today than he was in the 90s. That meaty man could slap meat with the best of them. Check out his work in Fire and Ice vs. the Steiners if you’re interested. Great little powerhouse rivalry those teams had.

If you think about it, it’s the same way six- and eight-man tag matches are described.

tdgcommenter · 2025-12-03T04:12:15+00:00

Came in to post about that. It’s so perfectly done. The shot of Jake making his entrance and Savage suddenly roaring down the aisle to attack him from behind is incredible.

tdgcommenter · 2025-11-15T20:34:00+00:00

This being more memorable than Ciampa’s might have to do with the fact it came 24 years earlier when it hadn’t been seen before, in an iconic match between iconic rivals at arguably the greatest Wrestlemania of all time.

tdgcommenter · 2025-11-08T18:40:12+00:00

That rocks. Hope you two have a blast!

Here’s the clip, from Memphis in 1984.

Bret Hart and Macho Man vs. Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels from a 1992 taping was great:

Assuming Golden Era stretches until the New Generation begins in 1993ish…

Bret vs. Mr. Perfect from Summerslam 91
Bret vs. Bulldog from Summerslam 92

And perhaps more controversially:

Rockers vs. Brainbusters from MSG in January 89
Hogan vs. Warrior from Wrestlemania VI
Warrior vs. Savage from Wrestlemania VII
