I'm watching Eddie Kingston vs Claudio right now (banger of a match so far). As much as AEW brings up all these AJPW legends and the Triple Crown, why don't they try to help AJPW? I know they're linked up with NJPW, but it's not like they're enemies or anything.
Also, has anyone been watching the AJPW Tag League? If so, what are some matches to check out? I have an AJPW TV sub, but I've been so busy with other stuff lately.

This thread is probably going to be filled with Quentin Tarantino moments, but I'll start it off by including this gratifying moment from Sleepers, where John and Tommy get revenge on that sick piece of crap Nokes for abusing them when they were locked up in juvie. Kevin Bacon played that role to the hilt.

Also gotta mention this one from Sicario. I don't condone the killing of innocent people, especially children, but considering what Alejandro went through at the hands of Alarcón, it's par for the course. I like how Alarćon's wife just KNEW they were doomed.

Hikuleo vs Shota Umino in the main event in Osaka had no business being that good. It surprised the heck out of me.
-
Did anyone see the AJPW card from Sunday at Shin-Kiba? Anything worth checking out?

Thoughts on Henare's new look?

I'm watching Dynamite right now, and Jake Hager just gave one of the best performances of his career in that backstage segment with Jericho. They really need to be accentuating his positives more like this.

Wow, I just learned about Dean's passing a few minutes ago

So I have a couple of questions about Takeshita:
1) Does anyone know who his senpai was in DDT?
2) Can anyone lead me to the match with Endo vs Golden Lovers in 2014? I read about Tokyo Sports naming it their choice for match of the year -
Am I the only one who thinks that Tim Couch never really got a fair shake in the NFL? He was surrounded by a terrible Browns team with even worse coaching. But I was just watching game film on Couch, and he had a good upside to him. I think a real franchise would have molded Couch into a consistent quarterback that at least won games. He still doesn't make but maybe one Pro Bowl, but still would have been worlds better than what actually happened.

I'm watching Great Voyage 2023.
Saxon Huxley is gonna be somebody's world champion one day.
What's that belt that Sugiura is running around with?

Soooooo I just saw Kota Ibushi's tweet from a couple of hours ago, and.....uh.....I have questions. Major questions.

I love you Jay White

Sooooo best matches in the tournament to check out? I don't mean to be lazy or anything, but I just sat through the entire goddamn BOSJ

18 minutes ago, Blue Dragon said:
Few upcoming shows will allow cheering and other noises. There is no set time period for when the noises fans can make are fully allowed again for all shows.
Some promotions may even decide not to lift the ban on what crowds can do.
So I know that DDT is going to allow fans to cheer at their big show coming up. Am I missing anything else? I heard that there was crowd noise in Sendai during the BOSJ.
-
So any update on the crowd noise deal?
-
Honky was completely justified here. I would do the same thing if some coked-up redneck cosplaying as Magnum TA keep calling me an idiot, making fun of my name and sticking a goddamn snake in my face, all while in front of a nationally televised audience, I'd knock his ass out with a guitar too.

There are some wrestling fans that make me sometimes question why I got into it in the first place...
Yeah, that's all well and good, except....

So I was reading up on Mil Mascaras after someone brought up the match he had with Foley in 1990. Apparently a lot of promoters tried to get him to put over their champions cleanly, and that didn't work for him, brother. Also, apparently he wasn't too keen on selling for his opponents. Are there any examples of this floating around on video?

When I was doing ring crew at a Lucha show in Phoenix not too long ago, in the main event a guy named Perrush-K wound up winning the match and the title, but in the process bled buckets. Yeah, it was real fun cleaning up the ring afterwards
So we started talking about Muta scale matches, and the usual suspects came up (Heavenly Bodies vs Thrillseekers, Eddie Guerrero vs JBL, etc). But this young 20-year-old kid told me about this match that I'm posting here
Maybe I'm way late to the party, but I never knew that Luchadores could get downright violent like this! I mean, I read a lot of history and all, but I've never seen it until now. And I gotta say, the selling in this match is Valentine levels of believable. So now I wanna see more, dammit! DVDVR, please help me to find more good stuff like this.

I've heard it said that in 2000 when The Rock and HHH were feuding, Rock would stick to the bullet points in promos and segments, but Triple would be unprofessional and fly off the handle. Are there any clear examples of this on WWF TV?
-
I don't know if this has been asked before here, but what are the bloodiest matches in the mainstream offices in Japan (NJPW, AJPW, NOAH)? Besides the obvious Hase-Muta and Nagata-Sasaki.

Had to revive this thread. I don't watch WWE at all anymore, but this was an asswhoopin for the ages. The welts!!
-
Wait, is THAT why I haven't heard from Koji in years? What the hell did he do?
While we're on the subject of news from the past, I just came across this match from NOAH Departure at The Egg. I read on Wikipedia that All-Japan worked with them on this show. Does anyone know what led to them working together? Did the old widow stepping down and let Mutoh right the ship have something to do with it?

I'm leaving this link here under the assumption that everyone here has NJPW World.....

I'm hearing that Mascara Dorada vs Templario was really, really good. Anyone know where I can see the full match? I subscribed to the CMLL channel on YouTube, but it seems like they only offer clips of their shows.
