The Valiant Brothers with Lou Albano were tremendous in the 70's. That gimmick would have run its course, but Boogieman is timeless.

I find it kind of funny that people pay extra to be on camera when the majority of the show takes place facing the hard cam. Extra expensive to see mostly the backs of the wrestlers.

I'm sure that the title change will be on the regular Asahi Saturday night show in the next week or two.

We chanted Percy at Paul Bearer and he replied in character, Percy's in the Urn!

As a big NJPW fan, I'm not into this guy either. He is indy scum DDT to me.

Jinder Mahal is a TV wrestler. Masada is a long time hardcore/deathmatch wrestler, and the originator of the yakitori skewers to the head when he was in Big Japan Pro Wrestling. mahal showed up and refused to do hardcore and walked out on the match. I think that it is storyline.

Looking back, the company was never the same to me after Lou Albano turned babyface.

I met Kirishima at Yumiko Hotta's snack bar on Thursday night. This board might be the only place where I could post this in English and someone might understand. I am going to day 3 of the basho. Getting tickets was a horrible experience. 90 minutes of endless errors and reloading of the online ticket system to be able to get one ticket.

I was like WTF when Samurai just went to the next program. The replay did the same.

I still am not sure which one is Matt or Nick. I also was never sure which one was Max or Jeremy. I'll try to pay more attention and see if I can notice what you are saying. They just are "oh, good workrate tag match" to me.

I really like seeing her becoming a star. I met her on the stairs to the basement of Ikebukuro Club Bed to get in to a World Underground Wrestling show. She was sent by Humongus to meet with Fugo Fugo Yumenji and start training with WUW. Crazy to see her go from random English speaker that I met in Tokyo to go through WUW -> Ice Ribbon -> Stardom -> hopefully making USA money.

I met Backlund when he did an appearance when he had his crazier than wrestling run for political office. He was a nice guy taking pictures with everyone. He put the kids in headlocks for photos. He stiffed me in the crossface chickenwing and still acting as a nice guy told me that I was flexible while doing it.

I don't know exactly who Rick Knox is. I've heard the name. Bronco Lubich, Dick Kroll, Dick Woehrle and such are what is missing now.

I miss old man refs and ring announcers in English language wrestling.

Yes it was mentioned along with mentioning that Graham beat Bruno with his feet on the ropes.
