With an eye to continuity, I'm putting young Benoit v. Guerrero up early in the card, and then after a couple of matches I'm going to show this backstage segment where Arn and Pillman are like, "Hey you know that guy who looked absolutely ridiculously good earlier? Yeah he's one of ours now."
Love getting an Arn Anderson promo that works really well with my show. Enjoy Pillman's mic work as well.
From Wrestling Society X - a promotion best described as the indiest thing ever, but it was actually an MTV broadcast genuine TV show that was created to just generally not give a **** including have a concept that all these wrestlers are part of a literal underground society where they go to the X Bunker to wrestle - just so bad its good cheesy kayfabe.
I believe this was the first ever match, but regardless the show only lasted 9 episodes and i doubt its worth working out exactly which this is from. But what you have is that amongst all the overproduced bull is a textbook example of a dark match that just happened to be broadcast on national TV.
On one side we have Matt Sydal - now known as Evan Bourne and most expect soon to be known as Matt Sydal again. He is of course a cruiserweight high flyer with a really awesome finisher.
On the other side we have Jack Evans. This guy most of you wont know, but he is a cruiserweight high flier with an even more awesome finisher.
The total time is 3 minutes 21 seconds by my clock so dont expect a classic match of the ages, that is not why im drafting this, but holy **** if you dont enjoy this 3 minutes 21 seconds of bumps, high spots and jumping around like bunnies on a mix of red bull and speed you are weird
This should tie up my card, ill reserve the right to use that last 7 min 58 seconds until i give my final write up but this is probably the last piece of the puzzle.
Keed's clock ran out. He's skipped. Moorobot is skipped per his request. Pharoah is skipped because I think he's done. Phill is skipped because he keeps saying skip me. Others in between are on done or on auto-skip. I'm gonna make another pick.
Shawn Michaels makes his way onto my card in what was one of the best WWF tag team matches you would see in this era. This becomes my new opening match, and is a great fit for my card...the 19:15 run time leaves me with all of three seconds to spare. I couldn't even draft Honky-Warrior now if it was available.
