I have some questions:
1) Can you think of any matches which features wrestlers getting dropped on their head? For example: Kenta Kobashi landing on the top of his head when he takes a back-drop or a german suplex; or Mike Awesome landing head-first when Masato Tanaka powerbombs him to the outside of the ring at Heatwave 98? Like, can you think of any particular bouts where this happens lots of times?
2) What do people mean when they say the 2003 Noah bout between Kobashi and Misawa has lots of 'excess'? I'm like 'what... they had lots of piles of cocaine for the wrestlers in that match?...or they had lots of mixing bowls full of banana mousse where they had to scrape off the excess mousse with a spatula to avoid getting some excess banana mousse on the floor.....like what the fuck kind of match was this?'.
3) Does anyone know of any little-known websites where people can download AEW wrestling matches? I know there are plenty of online tools which help you to downloads lots of videos from youtube, dailymotion and facebook videos. Tokyvideo and BiliBili have aew matches, but the picture quality is very poor on the videos at them sites?
thank you in advance for any helpful input in this thread.

Misawa/Kobashi from NOAH is my GOAT, and while I can understand the excess criticisms considering it's the most "go-go-go" match of their rivalry, I think it fits. They've wrestling each other in big scenarios for so long now, that they just know they won't beat each other until they start dropping bombs, so why bother with usual offence and pacing? Misawa's desperation at avoiding Kobashi finally surpassing him, and Kobashi's urgency of "now or never", totally justifies any "excess" they make in the match.
A very uncomfortable match for me with a lot of unnecessary head-dropping was the Naito/Ibushi IC title match from NJPW Dominion, 2019 iirc.

3) archive (the site with the waybackmachine) has a movie section which people upload AEW and other random shows, they also have alot of VHSrips/DVDrips. I recently found a 10 disc "Best of Johnny Saint" on it.
