Its crazy how different times were. That Taka/Tajiri match could've been on a house show loop for a month straight and it would literally change kid's lives lol
Taka vs Tajiri was so fuckin sweet. How do you not give Tajiri a contract after that?
i fw El Padre de Beast Mortos heavy
Too bad Friar Ferguson/Bastion Booger probably never faced Mantaur. "The Battle of the AHHHHHHHHH!"
I couldve sworn Taka’s finisher was a 180 Mongo Spike. Must be a case of the mandela effect
Its like The Predator Vs Jim Powers
God DAMN Taka and Tajiri went AT IT! And in 97?!
Bro that Tajiri/Taka match had me punching the air and knocking shit off my walls, that shit went NUTS.
give me Taka/Tajiri everyday of the FUCKING WEEK
they're wrestling Ico Pro style Brother!
Tajiri wrestling like the rents due
For an odd Gimmick with no clear direction, I must say they gave Friar Ferguson one hell of a theme song!
That taka vs tajiri match was amazing holy
Vince could’ve had a strong light heavyweight division to compete against WCW cruiser weight division
More mixtapes please. Maybe one pick each from the boys?? Ps Happy Thanksgiving from a Bruv.
i'm giving tajiri the twenty year bret contract off of that match
Okay but if Friar came with just a bit more intensity, nobody was doing it like this guy. Come out spittin the holy juice, sharing it with fans. Truly Sandman-esque.
I can't be the only one who thought this said Friar Ferguson vs Mantaur vs Tajiri right?
before properly reading the title i thought this was a triple threat match between these three and i almost fell to my knees
I didnt know Kyle Gas was Friar Ferguson
Well, he did quit the band last week
The Three Wrestling GOATS of Christmas
These watch along mixtapes are fun af. I hope this happens more often.
I don't understand the older crowds man. Like I get Stone Cold isn't out there, but how do you watch that Taka and Tajiri match and not jump up and down twirling towels and shit?
Damn, Friar and Mantaur probably could have gotten over without the dumbshit gimmicks. Maybe give Friar a different gimmick that lets him do the Charleston still. Tajiri seemingly incapable of having a bad match. (please do not put this to the test, I do not want to watch a bad Tajiri match)
Shouts out Chris Duffy against Friar Ferguson. He was born and debuted about 15 minutes away from my home, and then would go on to play St. Nick in the segment where Stone Cold stunned Santa after this. Unfortunately he passed from an aneurysm in 2000 way too young
Friar Ferguson was 21 here
2 god awful fucking matches i mean you guys are pissing me off with these pulls and then a absolutely peak pull with taka and Tajiri these matches are deadlock
Excuse you, Mantaur is based!
14:04 That man is on his 1997 cell phone.
I love the Watch This mixtape, wouldnt mind if this was a semi regular content addition
Why does Friar Ferguson have the Halo theme song
WoOoah THEE Beast Mortis!
JR shouting out Big Japan blows my mind.
Now THAT'S Incredible!
I made Jawnny’s Newark style green bean casserole with the marshmallows on top and now I’m not allowed to come to christmas
That Taka vs Tajiri match fucked so hard!
Tajiri not getting a WWF contract prob meant he needed to go somewhere else in the states, and that's how ECW came in and got him, which led to him transitioning into the Japanese Buzzsaw
It doesn't matter how much your memory tells you that Tajiri is fucking amazing, he still surprises you every time
MOOOOOOOOOO
You boys having any peas for Thanksgiving
For real though, Taka's theme is an underrated banger.
taka is coming motherfucker
mantaur had that camel toe crazy at the end
Look at my man Tajiri with the thanksgiving pies
Also, I'm very sorry, Mantaur, I wasn't really familiar with your game.
I fucking love watching Tajiri wrestle. Really fun concept!
"In 1993, this guy's a womanizer." And now I must clean up the soda.
Fun Fact: Mantaur and PN News are shoot cousins
Wow they really left the Mantaur and PN News tag team on the table
WHAT THE FUCK IS A MANTAUR
I'm unable to see the Mantaur entrance without hearing Finn Balor's theme.
Mantaur taunt spamming to get his finisher quicker is a great strategy
That crowd did not appreciate Taka/Tajiri but gawd damn did that rule.
James doing the cow noises for Mantaur literally has me dying of laughter.
Happy Thanksgiving Brothers!!!
I love the multiple shorter matches thing. Like with the morishima matches
Tajiri vs Taka was phenomenal! These two make me love wrestling.
This is my nightmare blunt rotation
Apparently Mantaur is the younger brother of PN News so amazingly he didn't have the worst gimmick in the family. Also why didn't the call him Manotaur!
if tajiri had gotten signed they definitely would have had him holding val venis' ankles when yamaguchi-san went to choppy choppy
More of these please!!!
Do more mixtapes!
Let Tony do to mix next time!
When "Watch This Mixtape" popped up I thought, "new segment?" ngl lol 😂
I legitimately felt fucked up thinking of a musical mix-up done by Friar, Mantaur, and Taijiri
Tajiri is the man
The good the bad and the mantaur
WE LOVE WALTER SLOW!!! But on the real, that Tajiri and TAKA match absolutely fucked, in the best way imaginable
absolutely crying laughing at AAAHHHHHH Mantaur, match mixtapes are a winner! happy thanksgiving everyone!
I might be Canadian but this American Thanksgiving I'm thankful for Deadlock. Also obligatory "this is Deadlock" "this is The Shield"
Taka & Tajiri COOKED
To make one of these at your own Thanksgiving, you just stuff the Tajiri inside of the Friar Ferguson, then turn that sumbitch sideways and shove it up Mantaur's candy ass!
want me some turkey…give me some of them peas i want some peas
Happy thanksgiving. I’m hungry
Skee-and I mean this from the bottom of my heart-WOAH!!!!!!
Awe yea man
THREE MATCHES IN ONE VIDEO!!! It's a Thanksgiving miracle!
Gobble Gobble 🦃
And now we wait for someone to make an edit of this into an actual mixtape (someone definitely should)
Tripple feature 3 festive matches
oh shit the boys dropping a mixtape on my bday let's go
Triple threat! Oh my!
Happy Thanksgiving Hogdippers
