WWF Moday Night Raw - April 3rd 1995
WWF Women's Championship Match
Bull Nakano(champion) VS. Alundra Blayze

This match was on the newest wrestling dvd i bought about a month ago, and everyone that knows me knows that im not much of a fan of the WWE's version of women's wrestling lol. Im not sexist or anything, it just hasnt appealed to me. However, i was always a fan of Alundra Blayze (aka "Medusa" in World Championship Wrestling). She had quite a big move arsenal and her German Suplex finisher made me an immediate fan lol. When i saw this match on the dvd chapters at work one night a couple of weeks ago, myself and one of the guys i work with figured we would check it out. (He is a wrestling fan too). We started watching it and we were glad we did because it was high impact the entire time lol. apparently Bull Nakano (The larger japanese woman) had beaten Alundra Blayze in Japan for the Women's Championship 4 months earlier in Japan, so there was bad blood already brewing between them. The match itself was fast paced, and it became one of my favorites when Bull Nakano connected with a top rope leg drop about halfway through the match lol. Each woman took some pretty hard bumps, especially when both women attempted dives outside of the ring. The turning point in the match was when Alundra Blayze German Suplexed Bull Nakano on the floor outside of the ring lol. After about 3 more German Suplexes, Alundra Blayze was able to pin Bull Nakano for the win and the Women's Championship. The best women's wrestling match ive seen so far :)

WWF Smackdown -May 24th 2001
Fatal Four Way Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship

Edge & Christian
VS.
Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit(champions)
VS
Matt & Jeff Hardy
VS
Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley

This match was hardcore lol. This match involved 4 teams, with 2 men on each team. The World Tag Team Titles were hanging from a cable above the middle of the ring, and the object of the match was to use Tables, Laders and chairs to incompacitate your opponent so you can climb the ladder and grab the title belts. This match has everything - people getting hit with chairs, people falling through tables, falling off ladders - everything. I really liked this match because it was all done really well and the crowd was really into it. The crowd gets so loud at some points that you can barely hear the commentators lol. I personally like alot of people in the ring wrestling all at once, so i felt right at home watching this match, it was just nonstop action and mayhem all over the place. I could list everything that happens in the match, but it just has to be seen to be believed lol. In the end Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit retained their titles, but it sure took it's toll lol.

Wrestlemania X - March 20th 1994
Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Razor Ramon(champion) VS. Shawn Micheals(fake champion)

Everyone that likes wrestling knows this match lol. the origin of this confrontation began when Shawn Micheals was suspended for not defending his Intercontinental title accordingly. He refused to give the title belt to the WWF during his suspension, so the WWF set up a battle royal, and the winner would be awarded a newly made Intercontinental Championship Belt. Razor Ramon ended up winning the battle royal and the new belt, but when Shawn Micheals came back - he came back with his Intercontinental title belt as well and claimed he was the real champion because he had never been beaten for it. The WWF set the match for Wrestlemania 10 to decide the undisputed IC champ, and they decided it would be contested in a Ladder Match. Back in 1994 the WWf didnt really have hardcore matches mostly because it was a child frindly company, but this match broke the mold really quick lol. Both wrestlers used the ladder and the environment in ways no one had ever seen in wrestling back then and it was truly groundbreaking. I remember watching this match when i was younger and me and my friends thought it was the greatest match ever lol. This is one of the matches that helped Pro Wrestling evolve into what it is today and opened doors to endless possibilities in the world of wrestling. Both men brought everything they had, but after Shawn Micheals was pushed off the ladder, he landed on the ropes, causing his leg to get tangled up allowing Razor Ramon to climb to the top of the ladder and pull down both Intercontinental titles for the win :)


Wrestlemania VI - April 1st 1990
WWF World Heavywight Championship & Intercontinental Champioship Match
Hulk Hogan(champion) VS. Ultimate Warrior(champion)

Hulk Hogan was the WWf World Champion, and the Ultimate Warrior was the Intercontinental Champion and this match had both titles on the line. This was basically a dream match back then. I remember watching this feud back then and i remember not knowing who to root for lol. Both wrestlers had a huge fan base and they were both very powerful, charismatic and capable in the ring. Both wrestlers had an aura about them - as if they were superheros and that only magnified the importance of the match. there wasnt really alot of fancy holds or stuff we hadnt seen before, but it was awesome to see both forces collide because it had never been seen before, and it is very rare that 2 fan favorites wrestle each other in the main event of Wrestlemania. This match was dubbed "The Ultimate Challenge" and it was indeed just that :) In the end it was 2 men wrestling for the ultimate prize. Both men were equally matched, but on this night the ultimate Warrior was just a split second better and he managed to dodge Hogan's Leg drop Finishing move and land his Ultimate Big Splash to win both titles and become the first double title holder in WWF history. Hogan showed respect by handing the Warrior the title and congratulating him and took one more step towards immortality :)

Well, i think that will be all for today, hopefully i can try to get a post up on my Anime universe world before it gets too late LOL. I thank you all for visiting and i hope you all enjoy the post :) hope to chat soon

stay strong
