http://rapidshare.de/files/12144541/Dr_Strange___Dr_Doom_-_Triumph___Torment.cbr.html


This is the 1988 graphic novel written by Roger Stern and drawn by Mike Mignola. It goes without saying, but it is great.

Avengers Under Siege

This is the classic story where the Masters of Evil destroyed Avengers Mansion. This is the height of Roger Sterns Avengers run. If there is interest I will post the sequal Battlefield Olympus.

Vader vs Hulk Hogan Superbrawl V

http://rapidshare.de/files/11823006/hoganvader.wmv.html


Vader comes out first. He is wearing his fur cape that he wore at Superbrawl 3. I this symbolises that Vader is going to beat the dogshit out of the Hulkster.

Next comes Hogan. Who has the look of someone who knows a 450 pound man is going to use their face as a punching bag.

The match starts with Vader and Hogan staring eachother down in the ring, with Vader trashtalking Hogan. Hogan starts off by hitting Vader with a punch of punches, which Vader no sells. Next Hogan atempts to get Vader on the mat putting him in the short arm scissors, Vader simply steps on his head to break the hold.

Now Vader has the attitude "of thats enough of that", and just starts beating the Hogan in the corner, nearly taking his head off with a short arm clothesline. Hogan crawls outside to escape Vader, but Vader follows him. Hogan finally hurts Vader with two chairshots on the floor.

In the ring Hogan attempts the Ax Bomber, but Vader ducks and hits the chokeslam. Hogan Hulks up after a suplex. But this is more along the lines of an Eddy hulk up than Shawn Micheals hulk up. He attempts the leg drop but Vader no sells it completely. He then powerbombs Hogan and gets the visual pinfall.

Hogan does a sort of Hulk up here, but instead of shaking he just starts hitting Vader. Flair runs in causing the DQ.


This is a really good match. I can't think of a better match Hogan has ever been apart of.

Here is the 1984 Hawkeye miniseries written and drawn by Mark Gruenwald.

http://rapidshare.de/files/11469553/Hawkeye_v1_01-04__c_.rar.html













Some videos I made

The first WCW videp is set to Barry Windham's 1999 WCW theme.

The second WCW one is set to the Armstrong brothers theme.

The ECW video is Konnan's f9rst WCW theme in 1996 (before he joined the Dungeon).

The WWF video is the Patriot's WCW theme.

The Japan video is Kendo Kashin's theme.

These are basically highlight reels set to stock music mainly. Watch them for the same reason people watched Jay Sherman's Coming Attractions.

Dustin Rhodes vs Rick Rude from WCW Worldwide May 15th 1993

Rick Rude carries himself like all pro wrestlers should. You never once think of him as a guy playing a role. He looks serious and determined to win back his U.S title. Dustin comes out next. He looks confident but a little scarred of Rude. As if he knows that he can't win.

I remember when I was twelve I dreaded this match, because I knew Rude would win the title the first chance he got. The only guy I thought could beat Rick Rude was Vader, and the cure was worse than the sickness.

Anyway the match starts with Rude beating up Dustin in the corner. Hitting him with forearms and shoulderblocks. Dustin fights back but Rude regains the advantage with a bearhug. At this point there is an edit.

This match was booked really well as a way to kick off a series of matches. Both Dustin and Rude get visual pinfalls after ref bumps. The finish comes when Dustin hits a backdrop suplex, and both men get their shoulders up. Rude is declared the winner, but the belt is later declared vacant.


This was a really good way to kick off a summer series between these two over the U.S title.

Rock & Roll Express vs the Midnight Express Wrestlewar 90

Rock & Roll Express vs the Midnight Express Wrestlewar 90


I love this match. One of the best tag team matches I have ever seen. The match starts out as a comedy match. With the Midnights doing all of their stooge spots. Even having Cornette and Nick Patrick having an impromptu boxing match.

Then the match changes on a dime, when the Rock n Rolls make a mistake. The Midnights are just vicious in destroying Ricky Morton. The end comes when the Rock n Rolls reverse the flapjack getting the win. I put this match over The Midnights/Southern Boys match. Which shows how great this is.

Three yars later to the month. Ricky & Robert have a great match with the Midnights spiritual successors the Heavenly Bodies at Superbrawl 3.

Steven Regal vs Arn Anderson Superbrawl 4

http://rapidshare.de/files/11376626/Steven_Regal_vs_Arn_Anderson_Superbrawl_4.wmv.html

This is a fantastic match. To get full enjoyment out of it, you should view Regal's other TV title defenses. In paticular his match with Dustin Rhodes at the January 94 Clash. Regal completely controlls Dustin. Forcing him to do things like going for pinfall attempts off of bodyslams out of frustration. Finally draining the clock for the draw.

Now for the match with Anderson. The match starts with Regal trying his usual tricks. To which Arn responds as if to say "bitch please, Ive been doing this since before you've had a green card."

Next Regal goes to plan B, which is to take Arn out on the mat. But Arn is a former member of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew, so no luck there. At this point Regal knows he is in for a very long night What follows is thirty minates of hard hitting, hard nosed wrestling.With Arn going for flash pins thru out the match.

At the twenty seven minate mark it appears that Regal is going to drain the clock yet again. When Regal manages to outcheat Arn Anderson by by grabbing William Dundee's umbrella getting the win.

Dustin Rhodes vs Val Venis

The best match on the show is Dustin Rhodes vs Val Venis.

It tells a good story. Dustin is trying to hold on to his new found convictions and not sink to Val's leval. So he tries to wrestle the match honestly. But everytime he nearly has the advantage, Val uses some type of cheap shot.

The match did a good job setting up the return of Goldust, unfortuneatley the payoff the following month wasn't as good.

Demolition vs the Rockers MSG October 1988

http://rapidshare.de/files/11225590/Demolition_vs_the_Rockers_MSG_1988.wmv.html


I watched Demolition/Rockers from October 1988. This was a really good match, since it felt like they were made for each other. AX is just great in the way he carries himself. Not like he is anxious to beat somebody up like the Road Warriors, but that he knows he is going to beat the tar out of some punks.


Demolition are basically the S&M version of the Andersons. Ax is Ole, the sadistic old veteran who takes his time beating up punks and ripping them to shreads. Smash is Arn, the young upstart who does the lions share of heel stooging.

The Rockers as always play a younger more athletic Rock & Roll Express, but neither one of them are as good Ricky Morton. Don't me wrong, Janetty and Micheals are great at selling a beating. But Ricky Morton makes you want to jump in the ring and save him from being killed.


The match is basic tag team wrestling with the Rockers keeping Demolition off balance with their speed and teamwork. But Demolition quickly takes controll thru power and brutality. The Rockers get a few hopespots in, but Demolition always cuts them off.
The finish coms when AX takes Janetty's head off with a clothesline.


Unfortuneatly Demolition turns face a month later so we never get to see an extended feud with these teams. This match was better than any of the Rockers/Brainbusters matches. If you enjoy those you will love this.

the Rock & Roll Express vs The Andersons Starrcade 96

http://rapidshare.de/files/11084254/Andersons_vs_RnR_Express.wmv.html


I truly love this match. Its one of my favorite matches ever. Sorry I can't go into more detail, but I have not atched it in awhile.


Yes it is the uncut version from Best of Starrcade.

Goblins at the Gate

Brian Pillman & Barry Windham vs Shane Douglas & Ricky Steamboat Starrcade 92

http://rapidshare.de/files/11078699/Barry_Windham_and_Brian_Pillman_vs_Douglas_and_Steamboat.wmv.html

From John Williams Best of the 90's ballot.
http://www.deathvalleydriver.com/Bestof90s/jdwwcwballot.html


10. Shane Douglas & Ricky Steamboat vs. Barry Windham & Brian Pillman (12/28/92 - Starrcade '92 - NWA/WCW Tag Titles) God... these were the days of nice long tag matches when they could take your time, build a match, keep the crowd into it, and slowly at home you realize you're watching something special rather than being hit over the head with it. Barry, Ricky and Pillman were so damn good back here that they could carry vanilla window dressing like Shane to a classic. Barry & Pillman would have made a exceptional rudo team, but the promotion had Barry pointed in the dirction of the NWA Title and Pillman was a short time away from the Blonds... neither of which were bad moves. People who are putting matches like Benoit & Malenko vs. Raven & Saturn or the Windhams on their list don't know what they missed - this was real NWA tag team wrestling, where "face-in-peril" was a life and death experience in great matches.

Hulk Hogan vs Billy Kidman Slamboree 2000

Hulk Hogan vs Billy Kidman from Slamboree 2000. Holy shit that was actually a good match. Kidman basically played Randy Savage circa 1985. Hogan busted his ass in this match just beating the fuck out of Kidman. He also made Kidman look like he had a chance of winning. It was fucking surreal to see Hulk Hogan powerbombing people thru tables. Turns out Hulk had gone about things all wrong. Instead of wrestling washed up guys like Piper and Warrior, he should have been wrestling Silver King and La Parka in Texas Death matches.

There were other matches on this card, but each one took place in Russo world. This match was somehow immune.
