I *heart* Motor City Machine Guns
I have to admit that one of my favourite all-time tag teams are Chris Sabin and Alex Shelly - the ‘Motor City Machine Guns’. Partially its because the two of them are great singles competitors in their own right, rather than the oft-time situation with tag teams where its more a case of ‘couldn’t cut it as a singles wrestler’. What I especially love is how they’ve got a whole repertoire of double team moves along with their own individual moves. Anyway, this is a great match with them in Japan:
Continuing the AAA theme…
I really should be writing my essay. Oh well.
The clip after the break features, amongst other things, some ridiculous high-flying moves and what appears to be an insane midget! Read the rest of this entry »
AAA 4 way tag team ladder match
Highly entertaining match from Mexico’s AAA promotion. Not many names I’d be familiar with except for Sabu and Teddy Hart (& Hart only barely). Been watching a bit of AAA online recently - they seem to be similar to some of the better (old) ECW stuff, mixing hardcore with high-flying. Worth a look anyway.

Hitman Hart:Wrestling With Shadows
Interesting documentary detailing the final part of Bret Hart’s career in the WWF and such. Maybe a little to close to its subject but well worth a watch, especially for its dealing with the ‘Montreal Screwjob’ & Bret’s inability to deal with the ‘Attitude’ era of pro wrestling. Addendum: Though the documentary seems to be aiming for some sort of ‘balance’ its interesting to see how much of what happens backs up Bret Hart’s version of the ’screwjob’. A lot of Vince’s actions seem rather petty and mean-spirited…

I’ve never heard of this tournament but it looks very entertaining - watch some of the moves in this:
Konnan V Psychosis
The Worst Album of all Time?
Even though it only has 3 tracks online, just listen to this monstrosity from ‘Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band’. Basically just a handy way to rip-off the fans it is possibly the worst musical tracks I’ve ever heard…
Of special note is this song ‘Hulkster in Heaven‘ - supposedly written after Hogan was meant to meet some kid dying of cancer in Wembley Stadium but according to at least two friends of mine who are serious wrestling fans the story itself is absolute bullshit as Hogan had apparently retired (as much as he ever will actually ‘retire’) from wrestling by that stage and so couldn’t have been at the show where he ‘met’ this kid….
Also, horror of horrors, I just realised the album has a really hypnotic effect… it shuts down your brain functions as your listening to it…
