DEAN

WAR's Ultimate Dragon, Bret Como, wrestles in the Canadian indies still. This is highspotless- which is prolly good for a guy his age. ------------------------------------- Oh man. This is good. The little gal in orangish-yellow is Marika Kobashi and she is the Ricky Morton of Tokyo Joshi Pro. Miyu Yamashita is the TJP ass-kicking mean girl. Kobashi's comebacks are awesome. -------------------------------------- Bambi Hall beats Thunderkitty to this finisher.

This appeared this morning on my youtube feed. The British Bulldogs vs Kroffat and Furnas from 1989.

Hey! Malia Hosaka wrestles in a bar in Denver. It is.... mercifully short. ------------------------------ Kongo Kong in the Canadian Indie Wilds. Plus my favorite referee. -------------------------------- This is pretty great. DISASTER BOX versus ALL OUT! The parts where the good looking dudes beat the hell out of each other is better than when the ugly dudes are beating the hell out of each other. DDT is strange that way.

He and Mohammed Yone are an over tagteam. He is the muscle of the team and he doesn't hurt the quality of the match.

So according to Cagematch and a few other internet sources, Quiet Storm is 35 years old and started wrestling 1998- meaning that he started wrestling when he was 15 years old! I tracked all of his matches and he has wrestled like fives times in the US the last 8 years. This match is NOAH so it's stiff. ------------------------------- Kenou and Nakajima kick the crap out of each other and it's really fun! --------------------------- After watching crappy indie wrestling from the US, UK and Mexico all day, I get back to the quality by catching up on the Pro Wrestling NOAH YouTube account. They don't show how Kitaro Suzuki gets busted open (For some reason), but it's still a good little Minoru Tanaka title defence.

The spot at 2:04:27 is totally insane.

The wackiness that is Jim Breaks vs Sayama.

The Robbie X vs Sean Kustom rematch is almost as awesome as last weeks match. The rest of the wrestling on the show is perfectly fine. ---------------------------- Hey, Ultimo Dragon wrestled in Mexico recently. He looks pretty good and this match is a wreck.

Molly Spartan is Ethel Merman in It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. She rules. Little Miss Roxxy is your worker in the match. --------------------------------- Oh God Damn I love Thunderkitty and the Clara Mortenson gimmick. ------------------------------- Oh this match is so great. Sure, she does the Claw and a kneelift but does she do an airplane spin? "Everybody knows Jersey is the peehole of America."

Man, this is good. Kenou and Kiyomiya are the fair-haired, good-looking young stars. KAZMA and Sugiura have faces like catcher's mitts. Sugiura is a fucking machine in this. ------------------------------------------ This is dirtbag Canadian indie wrestling at its finest. Plus my favorite referee. ------------------------------------------------------- More good stiff NOAH. Sugiura beats on Go Shiozaki- who doesn't lay it in as much as Sugiura, but who does?

Man, this is good. This AQA gal must be a Booker T trainee cause she works STIFF~! ----------------------------------------------- More Sigiura beating the fudge out of Junta Miyawaki. Maybach and Kazma Sakamoto round out the cast -------------------------------------- IKyoko Inoue at 50 has replaced highflying with stiffness. She takes a couple of bumps that a lady her age should prolly avoid

This is foreign because Japan is a foreign country. NOAH throws a wrestling match at what looks like a Costco grand opening. It's basically a county fair except wrestling at the Chesterfield county was never this stiff. Trillion stars. ----------------------------------- Natalia Markova is awesome. ------------------------------------- Awesome! Shigehiro Irie among the North Americans!

This is so much worse than the Midlothian match. Where is Tiny Lister punching?

Ah, good times. I think I was the only one to actually pay to get in. That;s me and Tim Noel and Dave Layne yapping.

A Jim Breaks match where he is a monster heel.

This Harada/ YO-HEY is also really great. I've ignored Harada's career to this point but his offense is all high impact and whatnot. Nigh perfect dropkick at 2:49. ------------------------------------ Man, Minoru Tanaka brings the actual selling to the NOAH match. This is basically the match above but executed as a King's Road match. Note that Tanaka sells Harada's offence instead of just moving forward to the next spot, which I have not seen a junior heavyweight do since the 90's. And we would bitch about it at the time that they didn't sell enough. If we only knew then what we know now. --------------------------------- This is pretty good.

First it was two sudden Minoru Tanaka matches last week and then we get this sudden Masato Tanaka match. This should have been on WCW Pro. ---------------------------------------------- This is good. ------------------------------------------------- I don't think I've ever paid attention to NOAH junior heavyweights, but this is really good. Yo-HEY does this crazy roll-up at 3:58 that I've never seen before in 47 years of watching wrestling. Which is a good thing to see for free on the internet. I am now working my way forward from January on the NOAH youtube account! YEAH! MY HEART HAS TO RECOVER AND I GOT TIME ON MY HANDS!

Fricking Yoshiaki Yatsu wrestled in the 2019! Ahhhh, DDT..... ---------------------------------------------- Shingo is great in this, matching the stiffness of Maybach and Yuji Hino. -------------------------------------------- This is pretty good Canadian indie wrestling. I dig the ref.

This match is motherfucking awesome.

Hey, it's Minoru Tanaka again this week. Hmmmm. Maybe he should sign with MLW. Akitoshi Saito is still wrestling, it appears. Dig the stiffness of the other lumpy NOAH heavyweights/pretty boys. --------------------------- This is from March and they don't totally destroy Junta Miyawaki but after a while this get's really stiff- an ode to WAR Main Events actually.

This is fun. Natalie Markova kicks wee French lass Camille Grignon in the face a whole lot. ---------------------------- Eh, how about this from Beaumont, TX. I love Heather Monroe. -------------------------- Jesus, I wish the 80s NWA had thought of this belt. Lee Scott would come out every week trying to unload this belt on Cougar Jay. or Snake Brown.

Hey, Yoshinari Ogawa is still wrestling. Come for the NOAH stiffness, stay for the total slaughterification of Junto Miyawaki. God. they fucking kill him. -------------------- O man, one forgets how much fun the sleazy world of Ludark Shaitan is. La Magnifica is hardcore. --------------------------------------- I was going to say LA PARK MAILING IT IN IS STILL PRETTY GOOD but then he hits his double-wide Ciclon Ramirez tope and you totally forgive the shitty booking. 

Had six stents shoved into my heart yesterday so I am catching up on the internet wrestling viewing.

I need more Thunderkitty in my life. ---------------------------------- I usually hate these kind of matches, but it's Sanshiro Takagi being the owner going over. ------------------------------- This is good. So traditional.

I haven't paid attention to Minoru Tanaka in prolly 10 years but I really dug the Daga match. Total Worldwide 97 feel.
