Wrestling, at its core, is so easy. It’s two folks preventing till considered one of them both can’t rise up anymore or quits. It follows then that essentially the most iconic strategy to blow off a rivalry that has prolonged past the realm of competitors and obtained the great ingredient of hatred is equally easy: you enclose the folks in query in metal. There’s an instinctive visceral nature to it, seeing man give in to their baser violent feelings once they’re caged like beasts. When accomplished nicely, it brings out the hearth in each the opponents and the viewers. The hearth and the blood, and infrequently a lot of it.  – Robin Reid

WCCW Christmas Star Wars

Testimonial by Dave Meltzer

I can’t consider one match that set a territory on fireplace to the extent that the Ric Aptitude versus Kerry von Erich cage match did for WCCW. 1983 and 1984 had been the golden years of the Texas-based promotion, and had been constructed round Freebirds versus Von Erichs. A lot of the basis of the feud, from Buddy Roberts arriving late and David taking his place and profitable the six-man titles for The Freebirds, to the Freebirds then costing Kerry the world title later that Christmas evening earlier than the most important gate in Texas historical past, was the place all of it got here from. The Freebirds had are available in as David’s pals, and with three Freebirds and three Von Erichs it was a pure program that made the six-man titles greater than they ever had been wherever in historical past. The slamming of the cage door on Kerry’s head was surprising on the time, and so iconic a spot it bought copied to the purpose it’s turn out to be part of a big proportion of cage matches and means nothing now.

Triple X vs. America’s Most Needed
TNA Turning Level

Testimonial by Garrett Kidney

There’s all the time been two competing visions of TNA. A spot for the celebs of yesteryear to be rolled out in a single remaining try and seize the long-gone WCW viewers that disappeared in 2001 and by no means got here again, and a spot for the brightest younger stars of tomorrow to step up on a nationwide stage and make a reputation for themselves. Few TNA PPVs had two high matches that encapsulated these conflicting beliefs higher than Turning Level 2004.

Randy Savage’s remaining professional wrestling match as he teamed with Jeff Hardy and AJ Kinds to face Scott Corridor, Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett alongside the Shedding Crew Disbands Six Sides of Metal conclusion to Triple X and America’s Most Needed’s two-year rivalry. A cynical determined ploy to pop a PPV quantity with a star long gone being even remotely capable of ship to the usual of a PPV headliner versus the defining rivalry in TNA historical past to that time. It will have been really easy to only go along with Randy Savage. Even despite Savage solely wandering out for the final minute of the match to pin Jeff Jarrett, he was nonetheless the largest star to step foot in TNA over its first two years. It took some guts to go along with the fellows who had by no means primary evented a significant US PPV. After their disastrous Final Crew Standing match the month earlier than (which fully fell aside after Skipper suffered a concussion within the opening exchanges), it wasn’t a positive factor they’d ship in that spot. It was a danger to again the much less confirmed portions, a danger that paid off to the diploma of among the finest matches in TNA historical past.

Triple X and AMW had confronted eleven instances over the prior two years and this was their remaining encounter; the dropping workforce needed to disband. An ultra-heated struggle managing even to vastly exceed the standard of their glorious June 2003 cage match, you merely couldn’t assist however be sucked inside that metal cage with them. The primary occasion of TNA’s second-ever month-to-month PPV—this was brutal, violent, disturbingly bloody, and emotionally charged.

Hate fuels professional wrestling. The most effective most soundly executed wrestling matches can really feel like an exhibition with out at the very least slightly hate. Metal cage matches thrive on hate much more so. Hate fuels the emotional urgency that makes the very best cage matches so memorable. From the second the bell rang, hate strengthened every thing Triple X and AMW did. This was a blow off in each means – one of many groups may by no means workforce once more after – and so they wrestled like they had been preventing for his or her lives. It was completely every thing you possibly can need from a metal cage match.

After which there’s the Elix Skipper cage stroll, some of the breathtaking excessive spots within the historical past {of professional} wrestling. There’s plenty of strikes in wrestling that contain danger, however nonetheless go away a considerable amount of management within the palms of the wrestler. There are actually methods a Swanton Bomb off a ladder can go mistaken, however there’s plenty of methods the wrestler doing it might do it safely. When Elix Skipper took that first step out onto the razor-thin metal cage, he was leaving every thing to destiny. He both accomplished the 4 or 5 steps throughout that cage and entered immortality, or slipped and embarrassingly fell to the ground beneath. Historical past was on Primetime’s facet that evening. The cage stroll stands with ‘Steiner Math’ and ‘the Woo off’ as some of the shared clips in TNA historical past. For so long as TNA lives even slightly within the wrestling consciousness, Elix Skipper’s identify will stay alongside it.

For an excessive amount of of TNA historical past, the backwards wanting imaginative and prescient received out. Stars like AJ Kinds and The Motor Metropolis Machine Weapons and LAX and Wonderful Pink and Samoa Joe and Beer Cash would take a again seat to regardless of the newest Sting or Hulk Hogan or Ric Aptitude story was. Too typically was the corporate caught prior to now, so targeted on making an attempt to recapture the magic of eras passed by that they refused to see what was proper in entrance of their face. Triple X vs. America’s Most Needed was a shining instance of what TNA was at its finest – younger gifted professional wrestlers merely given a platform to be the perfect they may very well be and delivering in spades.

Match #44
Sting’s Squadron vs. Harmful Alliance
WCW WrestleWar

Watch: Peacock / WWE Community
Testimonial by Andy LaBarre

You will note on this very collection of match write-ups that modifications and evolutions in how wrestling is carried out are pure and good. That is clearly true in any leisure medium, from films to music to comedian books to literature to poetry to even skilled wrestling. Change occurs and SHOULD occur. There are rising pains, there are extra issues that don’t work than do, however nice artwork evokes folks to strive their hand at twisting their given medium into one thing reminiscent however new. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter what the given medium is, many people can spot a traditional once we see it. We will spot a legendary efficiency. We will spot distinctive, visceral photos, we are able to take the concepts of what makes a superb story, phase out the storyline beats that seem good to us and marvel why anybody would EVER attempt to change issues. Typically a traditional is only a traditional, even in skilled wrestling.

The WarGames match from WCW WrestleWar ‘92 is a stone-cold traditional.

Again in 2017, the Voices of Wrestling employees bought collectively and wrote about nearly each WarGames or WarGames-adjacent match as much as that time within the excessive anticipation all of us felt about NXT bringing the match stipulation again. Whereas the NXT matches have been WarGames matches in identify alone (and in keeping with this author – principally horrible), the eight articles written in regards to the historical past and evolution of the match produced plenty of opinions. You see, WarGames takes a easy idea and storytelling system and makes it about as sophisticated as attainable. It’s classic Dusty Rhodes. Why do one thing easy when you are able to do one thing easy with much more steps? And but – for most of the earliest iterations, it not solely labored, nevertheless it ROCKED. 

For these one way or the other unfamiliar – the fundamental idea is that this: two rings subsequent to one another, enclosed by a cage with a brief roof. A heel workforce and a face workforce squaring off. The match begins with a five-minute interval the place two “tremendous staff” usually get within the ring and perform a hate-filled brawl. Then there’s a coin toss, figuring out which workforce will get to have the following man enter. They enter and there’s a handicap match for 2 minutes, till the opposite workforce will get to even the chances. As soon as all ten males are within the ring, the match ACTUALLY begins and you’ll win by submission or give up. It’s silly as hell, it makes little sense, and but what it does, when accomplished proper, is spell out absolutely the best story in all {of professional} wrestling: The heels are unhealthy, the babyfaces are good, good will prevail.

You see, by having a LITERAL timer that enables for the heels to get a timed benefit within the match, it permits for the babyface workforce to rally the followers round them each interval as they get beat down unfairly earlier than they arrive roaring again. It’s paced out for YOU the fan. It’s sophisticated, however it’s so so easy. And that’s why it really works.

Any WarGames the place the babyface workforce has the benefit is mistaken. Don’t watch it.

One factor that makes the ‘92 match actually stand out is the gathering of expertise concerned. In maybe the best steady ever created, the Harmful Alliance, you’ve got 5 unimaginable abilities (Austin, Impolite, Arn, Eaton & Zbyszko) plus Paul E. Dangerously and Medusa. In Sting’s Squadron, you’ve got 5 unimaginable abilities (Windham, Dustin Rhodes, Steamboat, Koloff and Sting himself). All advised, if I had been to submit my checklist of “100 Best Wrestlers Ever” as we speak – eight of those ten males can be on the checklist, and Rick Impolite wouldn’t be considered one of them. It’s a virtually unmatched stage of expertise to have in a single match for early 90s American wrestling, and that expertise helps drive the story of the match for every intense two-minute interval.

The match kicks off with Steve Austin and Barry Windham – among the finest punchers of all time in Windham and among the finest bumpers of all time, in Austin. For 5 minutes to the 2 go toe-to-toe with Windham getting Austin to bleed a real gusher early, raking his face throughout the cage. That’s one other factor that makes the very best WarGames matches work: Blood. The group is molten from the leap and explode with every Windham strike. On the surface, we get the devious Paul E. Dangerously with drawn-up plans on how one can win the match, simply actually foolish stuff that actually helps promote how dastardly and annoying the Harmful Alliance is. One of many funniest spots of the match, and one which has been etched in my reminiscence for nearly 30 years, is Barry dragging Austin to the nook cameraman, his face a bloody mess, and saying clear into the digital camera, “How a couple of postcard for mama, massive boy?” earlier than biting his bloody brow.

On the coin toss, the match goes the way in which you’d anticipate, with the heels profitable and getting the benefit as in a shock transfer, the Harmful Alliance chief, Rick Impolite enters to take it to Windham. The group is so behind Windham and he will get some hope spots in opposition to the 2 extraordinary heels, however finally can’t overcome them. The timer reaches zero and in a completely good film – in comes Ricky Steamboat, among the finest babyfaces and scorching tags of all time.

The match continues with Scorching Tag after Scorching Tag earlier than it will get barely mired in Medusa climbing the highest of the cage and dropping a Brick Cell Cellphone inside, solely to get stared at by Sting and climbing again down in worry. This little second kills the momentum barely, which has been on fireplace your entire time, however the group is ready to recuperate and although the execution of eradicating the turnbuckle hook for the screwy end doesn’t go off easily, it really works with every thing taken under consideration and most significantly – the babyfaces win.

Each single wrestler within the match is over. Everybody on the surface is over. The WHOOPS end is over. Arn Anderson getting his head caught between the rings is over. The tense excessive fives between former rivals Nikita Koloff and Sting are over. The match succeeds as a result of it does what everybody who got here to the world to see: The babyfaces overcame the chances and the heels not solely misplaced, however started to dismantle.

Although Gary Michael Cappetta’s endlessly lengthy clarification of the overly sophisticated guidelines is laughable earlier than the match begins – WarGames ‘92 tells essentially the most pronounced, easy story in wrestling. The unhealthy guys are unhealthy. The great guys are good. The great guys win. Typically, simplicity works.

Match #45
Crew ROH vs. Crew CZW
ROH Loss of life Earlier than Dishonor IV

Watch: Honor Membership
Testimonial by Kevin Hare

Wrestling has developed. I’m not telling you something new right here. Athleticism has elevated, new strikes had been created, matches are put collectively in another way, and completely different types turn out to be in vogue. There’s fixed motion and analysis inside the medium. One main change is how matches are laid out, and tales are advised.

A shining instance of that may be seen in how multi-man matches are structured now. In earlier eras, they could have been an off-night, or a strategy to construct to 1 massive angle. Now, they can be utilized for way more. In lots of, there’s fixed motion. Opponents pair up and will keep considerably collectively for your entire match. A number of tales might intersect, they could department off in many alternative instructions and result in many alternative tales. Totally different promotions and types have their main blowoff multi-man match. Dragongate has Unit Disbands matches. Lucha has the Cibernetico. And in US wrestling, there’s the WarGames match.

WarGames began within the Dusty Rhodes Crockett period—two groups of 5 sq. off. Two males would begin within the ring. At timed intervals, yet another man would enter at a time. The match would ebb and stream with completely different groups having benefits and gaining equal footing till all ten males had been within the ring. As soon as all ten males entered, “The Match Past” started, the place solely submissions, surrenders, or knockouts counted. These matches had been often bloody spectacles. Whereas the unique iterations of the match had been nice, they had been usually easy layouts. Heel groups have the benefit, babyfaces come again, easy brawling resulting in a submission.

The match has developed over the a long time. Dragongate had the Useless or Alive cage match. AEW and NXT each introduced again the idea and dedicate main annual occasions to it. Nevertheless, oftentimes these makes an attempt are too convoluted, too slowed down with trendy wrestling tropes, and typically overextend too far past the unique idea. They wrestle to mix the bloody, brawling chaos of the originals with the fashionable wrestling types. Nevertheless, in 2006, Ring of Honor was capable of completely seize this magic within the Cage of Loss of life.  

Ring of Honor and Fight Zone Wrestling had been the leaders of the early 2000s indie growth. Every blazed their very own path in separate methods. ROH stuffed a void that many thought was lacking from the wrestling on the time. Athleticism and “pure” wrestling had been the main target. Guidelines and sportsmanship had been emphasised. Younger, athletic wrestlers utilizing new spectacular strikes had been featured. Ring of Honor followers felt like they understood “good” wrestling and wrote off “rubbish” wrestling – wrestling that relied on weapons and brawls.

Fight Zone Wrestling took the wrong way. CZW took the hardcore wrestling of ECW and added a dose of early-millennium adrenaline. Deathmatches had been their forte, including heaps of blood, gentle tubes, barbed wire, fireplace, weed hackers, and no matter else somebody may discover of their shed or junkyard into the combo. Wrestlers there weren’t as crisp or athletic because the Ring of Honor wrestlers. They’d their very own sleazy and renegade aura round them, and their very own phase of followers ate it up. It was extra harmful, extra reckless, extra of a celebration, and fewer about stars in a pocket book. ROH and CZW followers had been polar opposites.

These variations culminated within the ROH vs. CZW feud of 2006, the best storyline by which both firm was ever concerned. It started with CZW star Chris Hero debuting in Ring of Honor. It led to many alternative turns, invasions, assaults, and cameos. Wrestlers from CZW would flow into out and in of Ring of Honor, bringing a real feeling of chaos right into a promotion that might really feel inflexible. Philadelphia reveals would alternate between the ROH residence base of the Pennsylvania Nationwide Guard Armory and CZW’s New Alhambra Area (the then identify for the notorious ECW Area). Lastly, this all peaked that July, with Ring of Honor working its model of the Cage of Loss of life, CZW’s trademark match.

The Cage of Loss of life guidelines had been the identical as the normal WarGames match. Crew CZW featured Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Eddie Kingston, Nate Webb, and Necro Butcher, whereas Crew ROH began with (extra on this later) Ace Metal, Adam Pearce, BJ Whitmer, Bryan Danielson, and Samoa Joe. What ensued was an ideal encapsulation of developed storytelling, violent brawling, and trendy strikes. This match accommodates all of it. Barbed wire stuffed the cage, which was extra like a chicken-wire fence with no high that expanded across the total ringside space. Followers are rabid from the second Castagnoli and Joe total the cage.

It will be unattainable to checklist each violent and loopy spot on this match. There’s a reckless really feel to the brawling and weapons use, with even customary spots like a Samoa Joe dive feeling extra harmful inside the confines of the wire cage and concrete ground.

The brilliance of the match actually started with the doorway of Bryan Danielson. Danielson was the conceited ROH champ. The highest heel on the time, he believed he was the very best technical wrestler on this planet and had the physique depend to show it. Nevertheless, he, too, knew the stakes of the continued struggle and even put apart his bitter rivalry with Samoa Joe to take out the evil invaders. Or so he led us all to imagine. He sprinted to the ring like a bat out of hell, attacking Hero and Castagnoli instantly and even double-teaming with Joe. Lastly, after instructing Joe to hit a Muscle Buster on Hero, Danielson chop-blocked Joe’s knees out from underneath him, starting a vicious assault on Joe to the chagrin of the flabbergasted ROH followers and the chief of the ROH workforce, Jim Cornette. Joe is carried out, and Danielson leaves, by no means to be seen once more. Crew CZW now had a 3-to-1 benefit.

Chaos reigned. Whitmer and Pearce had been savagely crushed, their blood spewed. Necro Butcher, one of many wildest brawlers of all time, emerged. Ace Metal ran rampant with vicious cowbell photographs to the cranium of each CZW member. Metal ended a mid-match Hero promo with essentially the most vicious garbage can shot to the top you’ll ever see. Hero even introduced out his personal main rival, Eddie Kingston, as the ultimate member of the CZW workforce. With all ten introduced males within the match, CZW nonetheless had a 5-3 benefit. Whereas CZW managed the match, chants of Murder rained down from the ROH fanbase.

Murder is without doubt one of the authentic members of ROH. He was a vicious, reckless anti-hero. Nevertheless, within the construct to the Cage, Cornette appealed to Murder to hitch the workforce. He was trepidatious. He didn’t need to be concerned. However lastly, with Ring of Honor being decimated and Hero and Kingston’s personal tensions began to boil over, the sirens went off, the lights went down, and Murder himself entered the ring to a monstrous response. Lastly, the match truly started. Murder compelled the shoeless Necro to run via thumbtacks. He dispersed forks to the remainder of the ROH workforce to viciously carve the enemy. Webb was recklessly thrown via a barbed wire desk on the surface. Murder nearly murdered Hero with an insane bizarre piledriver-type of factor off of the highest rope via a set-up chair. Hero climbed to the highest of the cage, whereas weapons had been being hurled at him, and moonsaulted onto your entire different workforce. Chaos and violence emanated from each single nook of the cage.

In contrast to the earlier WarGames matches, this one featured pinfalls. This led to a extra totally fleshed-out match interval. There have been massive, tense nearfalls. Whereas “The Match Past” would typically be brief and culminate fast, it is a very lengthy part right here, persevering with to construct the drama and milk the gang. Ring of Honor knew precisely how one can mildew the idea and even the straightforward weapon brawl to its personal high-intensity massive match model.

Lastly, after 40 minutes of chaos, Murder hit a devastating Cop Killa on Nate Webb onto a barbed wire board. The group exploded in ecstasy. Cornette instructed to ring crew to actually drag out the evil CZW invaders. Cornette started the ultimate go-home goodbye and goodnight celebratory promo after, which was truly the final good phase of the match. Months of Cornette and Murder being at odds, just for Murder to lastly hyperlink up with the workforce, led to this second of Cornette placing over Murder within the ring. Cornette had beforehand provided Murder three needs to hitch the workforce. Now. Murder wished Steve Corino in a match. Cornette granted it. He wished an ROH title shot. Granted. And at last, he wished Low Ki, banished from the corporate for attacking Cornette, to return.

The group explodes. They wished it. They had been excited. This was a bridge too far. Cornette wouldn’t do it. Cornette maced Murder, locked him within the cage, had his minion Pearce handcuff him to the turnbuckle, and viciously lashed him together with his belt. The group was livid on the sight of their new hero betrayed. The explanation this labored so nicely was due to the storytelling via the match. It didn’t simply culminate right here. This match served as each the blowoff to a protracted feud and the start of the following.

This is without doubt one of the best hours in US wrestling historical past. A violent, brutal, bloody, thrilling match with massive impactful false finishes, a number of tales, and funky moments that peaked with an excellent scorching closing angle instantly following the match. A star was made and a method perfected. In an organization identified for its “pure” wrestling, the very best match in firm historical past occurred contained in the Cage of Loss of life.

Match #46
Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA
NWA Starrcade

Watch: Peacock / WWE Community
Testimonial by Drew Wardlaw

God, what a match. Magnum TA versus Tully Blanchard I Stop Metal Cage match at Starrcade ’85 brother, that’s it. Two licensed BAD BOYS going toe to toe.  It’s sketchy, bloody, uncomfortable, primitive, every thing that the good sport of professional wrestling ought to be. It’s a nonstop butt-kicker, FOR HARD ROCKERS ONLY.  

Magnum (Excessive) TA got here to Jim Crockett Promotions in late 1984 as a younger up-and-comer. He was blonde, jacked, bushy, he walked tall and rode a motorbike, killing everybody with that belly-to-belly suplex.  Tully Blanchard was already a longtime identify with a hefty TV title run—an actual high-class playboy kind who had discovered his Excellent 10, Child Doll. Magnum defeated Wahoo McDaniel for the NWA United States Championship within the spring, and because the #1 contender to the ten Pound of Gold, feuded with Ric Aptitude heading into the summer time. Ultimately, Tully bought a title shot, and through a cage match, a safety guard got here down and handed a roll of quarters via the cage to Tully, enabling him to knock Magnum out and win the title. It seems the safety guard was Child Doll! That’s it, man, that’s all it took. After he misplaced the title, Magnum was completely different. There was a complete different stage of depth and anger displayed in his matches. The punches had been tougher, and the suplexes had been meaner. He had been wronged, and he was letting everybody know. As payback, Magnum dressed up as a safety guard himself and attacked Tully throughout a match. They wrestled one another for like six months, every match Tully managing to sneak away with an inexpensive win. You might really feel the tensions escalating through the promos, and in any case these months, Magnum’s title photographs had been lastly working out. In a remaining match, they went near 60 minutes earlier than they had been each knocked unconscious and counted out (anybody bought a replica of that? Was the complete factor taped?). Tully mentioned that was it, and he was accomplished with Magnum, he and Child Doll had been occurring trip. However guess what? Magnum had one contact left. He petitioned Bob Geigel for the match, an I Stop match in a metal cage. Geigel refused to sanction it, citing that the feud had turn out to be too private and it will not be protected. In a daring transfer, Jim Crockett Jr. truly ignored Geigel and determined to sanction the match anyway, and set the date for Thanksgiving Evening within the Greensboro Coliseum, Starrcade 85: The Gathering! The ultimate encounter was an actual seedy deal on TV the place Child Doll approached Magnum to offer him her enterprise card, and Magnum grabbed her and says “It’s about time you came upon what it’s wish to be with an actual man” after which forces a kiss on her, then rips her gown (not good!). All of the whereas David Crockett’s eyes are bugged out in ecstasy as he screams, “She likes it! She likes it! Take a look at her! Ohhhhhhughhhh!” Tully then attacked Magnum and the 2 brawled on the ground. I imply, it is a actual degraded scene, man. Every step within the feud, every interplay, is increasingly heated, and by the top, it reveals simply how a lot disdain there may be between the 2.

The match itself transcends professional wrestling. It captures an environment and a spectacle that can’t be replicated. There isn’t any different match that’s this visceral, that pays off a long-term feud the way in which this does, and that conveys the pure hatred every man felt. You watch the match, and it doesn’t even go quarter-hour. Neither man hits their ending transfer. Actually, the one actual “transfer” within the match is Tully giving Magnum an atomic drop. In any other case, it’s simply two males punching and clawing at one another. A number of minutes are spent with each males on the mat tearing at one another’s bleeding wounds. Child Doll is there and periodically screams. There’s a mic within the ring for the loser to say “I stop” into, and the sounds these two make into that mic are from past. Simply grunting and respiratory and Magnum feels like Tom Warrior on the Hellhammer demos screaming “NOOOOOO!”. They use the mic to hit one another, and every time they do, it makes this loud thud and clips the PA. Each time I watch this, my spouse will get mad at me, and I’ve to show down the TV as a result of it scares my daughter. What number of matches are you able to say that about?! The factor is horrifying simply to take heed to! There’s this actual animalistic sexual side to the match too the place Magnum is making an attempt to say his dominance by holding the mic to his crotch and makes Tully yell into it. The entire thing is simply so dirty, and as you’re watching you begin to query every thing from watching violent sports activities on TV to the morality of struggle. Nobody comes out unhurt kind of factor you already know? Oh God the end of the match! The 2 are on their knees punching one another, bleeding in every single place, the gang is out of their minds. A wood chair comes flying in, and Tully slams it on the bottom to interrupt it. He picks up this sharp wood stake and tries to stab Magnum, however Magnum fights again! He will get management of the spike and STARTS STABBING TULLY IN THE HEAD WITH THE WOODEN STAKE! Magnum is screaming “Do you stop, do you stop?” and Tully says sure! That’s essential, he doesn’t say, “I stop,” he says sure. The bell rings, and Magnum grabs Tully and begins to go after him once more, seems on the stake, and throws it down. Tully is cowering on the mat and appears completely pathetic—only a humiliated defeated man. You nearly really feel sorry for him it’s unimaginable. Magnum grabs that US belt, slings it over his shoulder, and walks out of the cage, and that’s it.

Finest match ever finest feud ever finest blow-off ever who cares it doesn’t matter. This match is unreal there’s nothing prefer it, that is it. There’s a unique form of power that was captured on that evening. Particular shout out to the match proper after it, The Midnight Categorical vs. Jimmy Valiant and Ms. Atlanta Energetic. These two matches proper there, that’s how you already know there’s actually nothing higher on this planet than professional wrestling!
