The match, which saw Yoshiko defend the company's top title, the World of Stardom Championship, against Yasukawa, seems good on paper. Yoshiko was a dominant monster and a protege of one of Stardom's founders, joshi legend Nanae Takahashi, while Yasukawa was one of the company's rising stars, having held Stardom's secondary championship, the Wonder of Stardom title, twice, and held it going into this match. This was also a match we were supposed to get earlier than we had, only for that match to be canceled due to Yasukawa suffering a Graves' disease flare-up. On top of all that, Stardom, founded in 2010 by longtime joshi promoter Rossy Ogawa, former wrestler Fuka, and the aforementioned ...

Former friends turned enemies after one wrestler stabs the other in the back, leading to an incredibly heated feud chock full of the emotion that pro-wrestling thrives on. Over the years, we've seen plenty of fantastic rivalries & matches come out of these kinds of feuds, whether it be the top-notch in-ring work of the Johnny Gargano-Tommaso Ciampa series (excluding One Final Beat, which was...something) to intense drama of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage's feud going into WrestleMania 5, a tag team break up can create magic in the ring. However, the magic isn't always there, and sometimes former tag partners facing off doesn't lead to memorable matches. This is the case for this match, as the former Gangstas teammates New Jack and Mustafa faced off at ECW's Living Dangerously 1999. In f...

Click the link here to vote in the poll and help decide the next edition of the Worst in the World. Looking back, the professional wrestling career of the late Tom "Tiny" Lister is somewhat of an anomaly. In 1989, Lister, an actor of 10 years who would later be known best for his role as Deebo in Friday and its sequel Next Friday, would play Zeus, the monster antagonist in the WWF-financed film No Holds Barred opposite Hulk Hogan as Rip Thomas. By film standards, No Holds Barred is not good, but if you're looking for some good old cheesy 80's schlock cinema, then the movie is right up your alley. But that wasn't the end of Tiny Lister's involvement with the WWF. On the May 27th episode of Saturday Night's Main Event, less than a week before No Holds Barred would release, Zeus would debut, confronting Hogan as he made his way to the ring. Unhappy with losing to Hogan in the film and being billed under him, Zeus came after Hogan. It was weird, because it was...

Special thanks to everyone who voted in the poll to decide this edition of the Worst in the World. Click here to vote on the next edition . This is gonna be a first. Since I've started doing multi-match posts more and more for this series, I've covered as many as five matches in one post, six matches in one post. Hell, I've even covered seven matches a couple of times. But this request I've gotten multiple times blows all of that out of the water; every match Scott Hall had during his brief return to the WWF in 2002. 14 matches in one post. Now, granted, that number isn't as bad as it seems, as all but one of them is under 10 minutes (even if that one is over 15 minutes.) But that's still double the most matches I'd ever covered in one post. However, I'm up for the challenge, so here we go. Scott Hall would make his return to the WWF after nearly six years away at 2002's No Way Out. Alongside Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash, the nWo was officially par...
