Regal is his Mother's Only Son and He's a Desperate One

Steve Jones v. Dave Taylor Reslo 5/2/91 - GREAT

Blue Bloods collide! Well before they were a tag team, we get to see Taylor and Regal match up in a very cool 10 minute TV match from Wales. Match starts with some very nifty WOS style mat wrestling, with Regal breaking out a bunch of cool counters including a great leg stretch counter to an armbar, where he just scootches Taylors legs apart until he loses balance. They exchange some nasty uppercuts, and have a great double count out finish where Taylor goes for a bodypress and they both fly recklessly over the top rope. Really neat opportunity to see early Regal, and prime Dave Taylor, both of which are kind of rare

Finlay Needs One More Drop of Poison and He'll Dream of Foreign Lands

Fit Finlay v. Masaharu Funaki Reslo 3/14/89 -GREAT

What a weird match to show up in my youtube feed. Finlay vs a pre UWF, pre Pancrase Funaki. This wasn't the nasty shootstyle brawl in might be in our dreams. Instead Funaki is working as a Japanese junior, doing backflip counters to arm bars. Finlay is great working as a bully base for a spunky junior, and he pounds him around the ring. Seemingly an upset victory with Finlay in control pounding away at the kid, before he flips out of suplex attempt to throw a lightning quick gut wrench for the win. Really neat TV match, I am really looking forward to digging into the Reslo.
