This was two men plying their trade, showing off their skill, presenting a vision of what pro wrestling can and should be that’s very different than most of what we’ve gotten this century and it was very welcome to see.
This week from @segundacaida: Legstrong vs. Youngboy ↓
Zack Sabre, Jr. vs Darian Bengston
- Every dog has its day
- Technical wrestling, humanity, yellow cards, and just a little bit of Shakespeare
- The players set the stage

@JESnowden Here is a guy who is going to tell the truth about the discourse! Next week here is a three part history of Jumbo Baretta's time in Pro-Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi.
Wrestling Playlists is a daily newsletter that takes a chronological journey through the footage history of pro wrestling. I started over four years ago looking at late 19th century footage and have now made it to November 1988. Subscribe at wrestlingplaylists dot com.
I can just see Twitter Stan’s furious that Oded Kattash isn’t playing him more on Tel Aviv Maccabe next year. Why is he playing TJ Leaf so much!! Let Kuminga cook!
Joe Malenko does things that feel so unique, using his bodyweight to show how pro wrestling moves might work in real life.
These are cool little things—like using the foot on the inside of the knee to bring Fuchi down or reversing Fuchi's defense of the overhook hip toss.
@TheJimCornette Is there any footage of the actual match, Lawler was a master of stips matches, and I would love to see what ideas he bought to a match like this. I love everything we have seen from the Lawler vs. Snowman matches from the early 90s
