Lost Matches
By Scott Keith on December 8, 2012
Hi Scott,
Have there been any matches that you heard great things about but just didn't get to see. Whether it's from a house show or just something hard to track down, am curious if there are some
out there that you are dying to see.
Well I still haven't seen that Punk-Bryan match that people won't shut up about, although once I finally do I'll likely be tempted to give it *** out of spite, just to watch heads explode with anger. I also intend to watch Tanahashi v. Suzuki from the first NJPW iPPV because Dave Meltzer and Karl Stern have both called it one of the best matches they've ever seen.
I missed most of WWE's output from 2006-2009 due to not giving a shit about the product, but I'm pretty much caught up on anything good thanks to WWE's obsessive need to release anything worthwhile on DVD a zillion times. I think I've seen pretty much every big North American match I would possibly need to, although now I'm on a Mid South kick and I recently got a mammoth 12-disc collection of basically the entire history of Bill Watts' promotions to spend the rest of my life working through.
I guess maybe some of the major ROH stuff, like the Punk v. Joe one-hour matches or other stuff from that era, but I'm pretty sure I've got those DVDs in my collection somewhere and I just haven't gotten to them yet. Gabe Sapolsky used to send me a LOT of stuff. Maybe I'd also vote for the legendary Ric Flair v. Barry Windham 90 minute Broadways? Although the ***** match between them is already on the first Flair DVD set and I can't imagine them having better ones than that.
