Accentuate the Positive

Wrestling in 2010 is at a pretty low point. It might be slightly better then 2009, but it is still pretty darn low for quality stuff in my lifetime. It kind of sucks that now is the time that everything has become super available. Can you imagine how awesome say 1994 would have been if weekly CMLL and AAA TV was uploaded days after it happened, NJ and AJ had full matches available the next day and the indies we could get were USWA and SMW not Chikara and DGUSA, or 1986, or 1980. Oh Well enough bellyaching, there are some things I am excited about coming up in wrestling so I am going to ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE.

-Demus 3:16 v. Pierrothito winner gets to be a big boy TONIGHT!! I loved the graduation Cibernetico which Virus won back in 1998, and it is even cooler that this is a singles match. Both these guys are really great wrestlers, and having great years (both qualifying Ciberneticos are worth checking out, especially the one that Pierrothito won.) CMLL tv seems to be giving things more time lately, so we can hope these guys get the time to stretch out a bit.

-William Regal v. Goldust SUPERSTARS. I just watched the Dustin v. Regal match from 1994 on Will's spectacular Dustin Rhodes set, and there is no reason that 15 years later this won't even be better. After long periods in the wrestling wilderness, both guys have come back working a level close to their primes. Superstars isn't afraid to have 10+ matches, and major league wrestling is always better when no one is paying attention.

-Muenenori Sawa v. Bryan Danielson on Sept 11th. Sawa is pretty low on the list of BattlArts guys I want to see Danielson against (not sure if he would make a top 10 actually) but if he reigns in his stupidity, he can be good. Pretty excited to see what Danielson does working that style, and I figure he will want to go out with something memorable.
