Match of the Month #5: Tag Team Action

       I've noticed in most of these posts that I haven't been giving the fans of tag team wrestling their fix so I'm here to remedy that right now. This match comes to you from CHIKARA Pro. This promotion (or former if the ending of their last ippv is to be believed) focuses on a mix of lucha libre/comedy style. If you have ever heard of the infamous "invisible grenade" spot, this is where it came from. Oh and CHIKARA had fighting ice cream cones years before Pokemon did. Anyways, on to the participants.

      First off we have Nick and Matt Jackson: The Young Bucks. You may know them better as Max and Jeremy Buck aka Generation Me from TNA. Yeah, those were all terrible names. Regardless of what you call them, they are one of the top tag teams in the world and seeing them in action only furthers the claim. These guys have absolutely fantastic double team maneuvers and not only that, but just the way they execute them is amazing.

      The second team is one that is the definition of cult favorite. It's Fire Ant and Soldier Ant: The Colony. Yes, they are wrestling ants and they are awesome. Remember when I said that CHIKARA was lucha/comedy? Nothing represents that better than The Colony. When you think of someone working their gimmick, few do it better than Soldier Ant as you will see during this match. 

      This tag team bout is from CHIKARA's first iPPV High Noon and is actually the 1st match from the show. THIS IS THE YOUNG BUCKS VS THE COLONY!!!

Match of the Month #2: Cruiserweight Battle Royal

Welcome back to your favorite monthly article: Match of the Month where I take a look at matches that aren't exactly the most well known. Last month I showed you a match from a local indy company and now a battle royal from WCW. While it IS a match from a very well known company, I still believe that this match isn't referenced enough for how good it truly is.

First, the intro. Chris Jericho's introduction of every wrestler in this match is hilarious. He finds a way of making fun the wrestlers without burying them (at least for the ones that mattered) and I could watch it over and over and over again.

Next is the commentary. This is one of the rare moments where WCW's team of Schiavone, Heenan, and Tenay gelled. If you know the behind the scenes of this team, then you know how much they detested Tony, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, the commentary is quite good..

Finally, the ending. I won't spoil it for you, but it's one of the biggest pops I've ever heard. If we could get reactions like this more often, WWE would be more enjoyable, but I guess I'll stick to TNA and the indies for consistently good crowds.

With all of that said, here's the match I've hyped up to unrealistic proportions:


PART 1: PART 2:

Top 5 Wrestling Games > WWF No Mercy

Technically, it should be 5 games I prefer to play over No Mercy, but regardless, my opinion still stands. Also welcome my 1st cameo and I was surprised I could get it, considering I wasn't on RVT at the time.
