Counting down the best matches and moments from a loaded long weekend in professional wrestling

Follow @TheDocLOP

This week, The Doc is pretty excited about the state of pro wrestling, coming off a highly memorable several days of WWE, NJPW, and NXT shows. In reflection, he counts down the Top 10 matches and moments from the extended weekend.

Overall impressions from each of the aforementioned shows are given as well, with his opinions on Summerslam and Takeover: Toronto II maybe considered “hot takes.” For instance, Doc believes that one of those shows was the best of a certain category since 2015.

Once into the Top 10, you can expect a few surprises. Matches others have lauded, Doc struggled to connect with, leaving popular top level choices for countdowns like these on the outside looking in. That said, the door was then open for him to highlight some matches that many might have left off their respective lists. For instance, an eighth match in the G1 Climax for a legend and an underrated star nearly vaulted Doc’s entire field to reach the top spot. Which match was it? Did your favorite make the cut? Which event featured the most matches on Doc’s countdown? Tune in and find out!

Attitude Of Aggression #309- The Big Five Project: King of the Ring ’95

The Big Five Project returns to recap a dreadful PPV, King of the Ring ’95. It is every bit as bad as you remember…but we cover it anyway

The Big Five Project returns to cover one of the worst PPVs of all time, King of the Ring 1995. Seriously, this is an event that kind of makes WrestleMania IX look good by comparison. Vince McMahon had all the elements in place to make this an event to remember. Well, it was an event to remember for all the wrong reasons. The bracket for the King of the Ring tournament was pretty solid. But bad matches and even worse booking decisions led us to the crowning of….King Mabel? Oh, and if that was not bad enough, Vince threw Bret “Hitman” Hart, the best wrestler in the company, into a meaningless Kiss My Foot match with Jerry “The King” Lawler. The fact that match was one of the better matches on the card tells you so much of what you need to know, and we have not event talked about the Main Event pitting the WWF Champion Diesel, and his tag team partner, Bam Bam Bigelow, against Sycho Sid and Tatanka in a match that redefined the word meaningless. If you are asking why….well you are not the only ones as we asked ourselves the same question over and over during this PPV that really epitomizes just how rough things were in WWF during the first half of 1995. Rob returns to the show and joins Dave, DJ, and PC Tunney to cover it all for you here, so you don’t have to watch it yourself. You can thank us later. Or thank us now by tuning in to another epic installment of The Big Five Project!
