Kaval vs. Dolph Ziggler - Intercontinental title match - Survivor Series (2010)
In Kaval's first and only appearance on a WWE PPV, The "World Warrior" looked to make an impact. That impact did not come in the form of a title win - it came in the form of a knee right smack in the face of Dolph Ziggler. Don't believe me? Here's the .gif for proof:
AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn, & Low Ki vs. The Flying Elvises (Jorge Estrada, Sonny Siaki, & Jimmy Yang) - first TNA match on the very first TNA show - NWA: TNA PPV (2002)
While technically this is everyone involved's debut match in TNA, since it was TNA's first match seen on the very first TNA show via Pay Per View, AJ Styles won the TNA world title last night and therefore gets the recognition above as part of new champ Debut Monday tradition.
Anyways, here's the genesis of the X division showing what they got to the Nashville crowd and the NWA legends in the back... and whomever heard about TNA and bought the PPV in 2002.
Over 10 years later and AJ Styles is still the future of the company. At least he's the top face again, for now.
Also, The Flying Elvises, the team of Sonny Siaki, Jorge Estrada, and Jimmy Yang (Later known as Akio or Jimmy Wayne Yang in WWE) are not to confused with the skydiving Elvis look-a-likes who jumped out of the airplane with Nic Cage in Honeymoon in Vegas. Being that early TNA had a lot of leftover WCW talent that didn't get picked up by Vinnie Mac, it's no surprise that they would have a Nic Cage gimmick on their program!
Low Ki vs. Kota Ibushi vs. Prince Devitt (c) - IWGP Junior Heavyweight title 3-way match - NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 7 in Tokyo Dome (2013)
English commentary provided by E C Dubs Commentary.
Every year New Japan Pro Wrestling holds the Japanese version of Wrestlemania (sort of) in the Tokyo Dome on the 4th of January. This year was the 7th time it was known as Wrestle Kingdom.
Also this year, Low Ki decided he wanted to be Agent 47 from the Hitman video game series. Apparently the serious mannered NJPW did not take kindly to his attire and found it quite disrespectful. About a month later he was released.
As for the match: it's pretty much what you would expect from a 3-way of this caliber and three of the top junior heavyweights today. Ibushi (from the Japanese promotion, DDT) does his classic combos like the the missing moonsault into a standing moonsault and is always a thrill to watch - while Prince Devitt, who I haven't seen a lot of matches of yet, was also very impressive.
Bonus:
This is probably the first wrestling highlights video that doesn't feature a really terrible song...
