RassleTube 9.25.06 - Local stuff along with Japanese/Mexico Psychology and more Eddie Gilbert!!!

----I am not doing ratings for the RassleTube anymore, because no one cares. LOL It was just my way trying to keep up with how many hits each week received. RassleTube looks to be settling into a groove and I am getting as many hits as I did with my Raw Ramblings column. That makes me happy, because I would rather for you watch RassleTube than read about the WWE.

----Here is something that is unusual though. Psycho vs “Trendsetter” Jon Michael [that match only] has had 432 hits as of today. I am not sure if Psycho or Michael put it on their MySpace accounts, but it is getting hits from somewhere else. Jon Michael is on this week’s show and I promise to bring Psycho back next week. I also have been promised some old clips from USWA and a few other surprises down the road. Thanks for reading and watching.

----9.25.06 Edition – Opens with "Picture Perfect” [Christian Jacobs/Chris O’Neal] vs Jon Michael/Stan Lee from Memphis Wrestling…We go back to “Rumble In K-Town 2” from Kennett, MO 8.31.2001 with CCW Mid-Southern Tag Team Title Match: “Full Effect” [Kilo/Kade] vs “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony/Seth Knight.

----I have included the two following matches to show how psychology is so different in Mexico and Japan than US. The Japanese match would sell over here, but it is also a lesson in how to work a long match with both sides getting heat or shine.

----Averno & Mephisto vs Blue Panther & Mistico Lucha Match on psychology. Mephisto/Averno are in the purple. Blue Panther is in..blue..LOL Mistico is way over and they are calling him the new Rey Mistero. It is fun to just watch the Mephisto/Averno double team moves. They are the Rudos [heels]. The psychology is way crazy in Mexico. You must pin each member of the team to win the match. It makes it look real phony.

----Kobashi vs KENTA - Kobashi is one of my all time favorite Japanese wrestlers. KENTA is youny, but very good. Watch the opening spot as the go for the old time on the ropes break, but KENTA jumps off it…They do super moves only a few moments in the match and do a double down—no US typical psychology, but it gets the fans into it. Working a long match – you have to do a couple of big moves and work on the heat. KENTA gets the heat—working heel. Not much heel/baby in Japan though. Gets heat on the arm. Kobashi then gets heat still selling the arm. KENTA then gets heat – comeback trying for a pin, then back to Kobashi coming back and does his chop thing. You got to see this!! Big move Big move from both, then double down. KENTA the jr is trying to beat the legend building for the end. Move after move from KENTA, then bam Kobashi makes the comeback with a few moves into the finish. Finisher looks great - Wrist-Clutch Burning Hammer.

----This edition ends with more classic UWF stuff with Eddie Gilbert. This is right after the angle with Watts from last week.
