inspired by the other discussion post today, it got me thinking about what match evokes the best childhood memory? it doesn’t have to be a good match or anything - just the one that you remember most?
for me, it’s eddie gilbert vs the dark patriot from global in 1992. i didn’t really watch wwf growing up but i was really big into wcw and i remember discovering global on espn afterschool and out of every wrestling match i watched nothing is more memorable than global.
someone uploaded it to youtube, so you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRNuKdaRbd8
I don’t remember a lot of the moves, but when I think about that pure childhood feeling it’s Juvie v Reese in WCW. I think I’ve even seen it on worst matches lists. But I liked the cruiserweights and it felt like this huge David v Goliath match and I was so invested in it.
no i get it! juventud had so many moments like that in wcw and it really made you get behind him
The juice was always amazing.
