Amazing New Interview With The Miz

A Strong Candidate For The Match Of The Year

In my review of New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Invasion Attack iPPV, I gave the main event match between Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada the utmost praise.  If you want to see just how good the match is for yourself, you can check it out below.  It's one of the greatest matches I have ever witnessed.

CM Punk Tells Smart Marks "F*ck You!"

Peter Rosenberg conducted a series of interviews after the Wrestlemania press conference and CM Punk in particular, had some choice words for smart marks around the world.  Even though I review and rate events, I don't consider myself fitting of the "smart" mark label.  My optimism and general perspective is a drastic contrast to many here on the Internet and it's something I'm actually very proud of.  Nevertheless, the powers that be are probably not going to like much of what Punk had to say here.  You can see that interview along with a few questions with John Cena and Mark Henry below:

2013 New Japan Cup Round 1

The good folks over at Youtube have uploaded the first round of this year's New Japan Cup in it's entirety in case you were looking for it.  There were three very good matches on this show.  Two of which I've added to the Top 25 section of the blog.  The opener between Ishii & Kojima [****] was very good, the Suzuki/Nagata grudge match (starts - 1:47:40) [****] and was just as awesome as their WK7 bout & one of my personal favorite matches of the year thus far Okada/Archer (2:03:45) [****1/4] was the match of the night for me.  I'm a sucker for David vs Goliath matchups and this one was unique in the fact that Okada is not a very small man.  Lance Archer has come along quite nicely as a performer these past few months and Okada makes him look like an absolute monster here.  He throws all of his trademark offense at him to no avail and Archer just returns fire with some brutal slams every time.  Good stuff.  I think this guy could be great if he's given a Mark Henry-like push at some point because the people are legit afraid of him and his moveset is unique to any other giant in the business today.  The CHAOS vs. Suzukigun turf war makes anything the North American stables are doing pale in comparison.  It's the best stable rivalry I've seen in ages.  And it's this feud that shined in what was a very solid event overall.  Be sure to order the finals at the upcoming iPPV if you enjoy what you see here.

The Mark Out Hall Of Fame: Brock Lesnar Guy

I found this video tribute to the Brock Lesnar "Mark Out Man" and I damn near died from being overwhelmed with joy.  Seriously, this video is fucking amazing!  Now I know that this vid was made as a parody, but someone really should honor the men and women who make watching wrestling awesome through their overwhelming capacity to nerd out.  With that said, I'd like to congratulate the "Brock Lesnar Guy" on being the first ever inductee into the G9Z Wrestling Mark Out Hall Of Fame!

CM Punk Title Reign Tribute - 434 Days

I was watching a couple of matches on Youtube and came across this tribute to CM Punk's WWE title reign.  It's very well done.  Also, if you missed my very own recap where I review every major match in Punk's title run, you can find that article here.



Fondly Remembering The "Matrix Minute"

It's one of the most awesome sequences in wrestling history and the moment that sparked my love for ROH wrestling.  I remember watching this in my college dorm and my head damn near exploded because it was so different from anything I had ever seen.  Been tracking ROH shows ever since.  Thus, it's a bit of a sentimental tidbit to add this in some form to the blog.  Enjoy.

Wait....How The F*ck Did He Do That!?

For those of you who have yet to witness the awesomeness of ACH, here is a nice match to start with.  Brace yourselves.  Seriously, this is NSFW.  Not because of bewbs or anything like that.  It just won't look good if your marking out in front of your boss.  Enjoy.
