Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho - The Bash 2009 Great match yes I agree, it had some great spots and a creative ending. They had great chemistry together

The Rock/Steve Austin vs. Hogan/Hall/Nash: Raw March 2002. Good match, slightly disappointed by the lack of Hogan/Austin wrestling each other but hey what can you do. Clean finish here, too.

I watched the infamous "Steel Cage Tournament" from Hartford. It was actually more of a gauntlet. Im a huge mark for tournaments, so I was excited as hell. The WWF roster from 84 is underrated, IMO, and I love Dr. D and how the WwF would light the ring.
The WWF never released the footage...because they never had a camera there. This is handheld footage...which is nuts thinking someone carried in a 1984 VHS handy cam into the arena and taped the show. Ive seen worse footage, and the "host" isnt talking, so it looked and sounded fine.. I like the stationary cam...we got used to it.
It was supposed to be a steel cage battle royal (which I have a hard time wrapping my head around) but I guess the state athletic commision pulled the plug on it before bell time. "Too many people in the ring with a cage surrounding it" weird to think how much power the state had before Vince outed the business. Different world. Anyways, they changed the format to a gauntlet and called it a tournament. Great line up...but most of the matches stunk.....body slam, walk out of the cage, next guy comes in. Hardly any blood. Tonga vs Piper was hot, of course.
WWF @ Hartford, CT - Civic Center - November 23, 1984 Steel Cage Turmoil: WWF IC Champion Greg Valentine defeated SD Jones WWF IC Champion Greg Valentine defeated Angelo Mosca Tony Atlas defeated WWF IC Champion Greg Valentine Tony Atlas defeated Bob Orton David Schultz defeated Tony Atlas Tito Santana defeated David Schultz Tito Santana defeated Moondog Rex Tito Santana defeated Bobby Heenan Tito Santana defeated Moondog Spot Ken Patera defeated Tito Santana Ken Patera defeated David Sammartino Ken Patera defeated Swede Hanson Ken Patera defeated Mario Mancini Ken Patera defeated Mr. Fuji Ken Patera defeated Jose Luis Rivera Chief Jay Strongbow defeated Ken Patera Big John Studd defeated Chief Jay Strongbow Big John Studd defeated Salvatore Bellomo Finals: Big John Studd defeated Rocky Johnson Non Cage Matches: David Sammartino defeated Mr. Fuji The Tonga Kid defeated Roddy Piper via disqualification Tito Santana defeated Moondog Rex Tony Atlas & Rocky Johnson defeated WWF IC Champion Greg Valentine & David Schultz via disqualification
Next on deck - Survivor Series 91, where there is an awesome DiBiase vs Steamboat match....handheld again.

But to each their own. I liked the main event because of Savage. Zeus has an intimidating presence but man was he horrible. The energy was there, I'll give them that. The more 80's stuff I watch the more I realize that Savage is hands down my favorite from 80's WWF.

Royal Rumble 90 I was so hyped for this Rumble as a kid. THE INTRO IS CLASSIC!! One of the most hard hitting fueds coming to a head Rugged Ronnie Garvin vs Greg The Hammer Valentine submission match. As a kid this was hatred to me..Valentine with his shin guard/Garvin with his version The Hammer Jammer..

I just got all of my IYH DVD's in the mail today so I decided to pop in the first one. It's safe to say I'm a 90's kid. I know a lot of you are older than me and therefore LOVE 80's WWF but I'm enjoying this event more than anything from the 80's I've watched recently. I guess that's because I grew up in the 90's since I wasn't born till the end of 84. But anywho..... Hakusi Vs Bret Hart, fantastic!

Random selections continue:
Summerslam 1990: Perfect vs. Tornado: Really short match and was shocked to see Perfect not get an entrance Demolition vs. Hart Foundation: Excellent match, again surprised to see the champs not get an entrance Rude vs. Warrior: Quick cage match, nothing special. I read a line in Bret's book or somewhere from Bret that said "..blah because Warrior rarely went over 10 minutes.." Chuckled when the cage match was around 10/11 minutes
Summerslam 1991: Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect: Not much can be said that hasn't. LOD vs. Nasty Boys: Better than I remembered it being. Massive pop for LOD winning

Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania XXI in my opinion the best WrestleMania match ever
up next: Booker T vs. Triple H - WrestleMani XIX underrated match, Booker should have won though. That Pedigree was sold perfectly by Booker

Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. McMahon - WrestleMania XIX another interesting bout, didn't expect it to be that good considering their age and the fact that McMahon never really was a wrestler, it was an entertaining match with some great spots
