I guess that Man Called Sting is just stuck in my head. I loved that song and still sing it for no reason in the high voice. I certainly like Sting more than Cibernetico, but totally forgot that he used that music. Sting is one of the few wrestlers with a long career that never did anything that I didn't like and if he did something stupid it was the right amount of stupid that I liked it.

Did Sting ever use that music before? I was thinking wtf is Ci-ber-ne-ti-co doing here.

Last time I saw Don Bon Jovi was at a lucha libre show in NYC around 10 years ago. He was the guy that they rented the ring from. He was a nice kid back when he was in JAP.

Yaguchi has been following Onita around for years. He was even part of the deal when Onita came to the US. 55 year old Mr. Pogo is Shadow WX doing a tribute to the original Pogo who died a few years ago.

I saw Kato there in May. She did most of the same stuff then, but had that slight hesitation in her moves. Nice to see Nikkan Lee back getting work too. I didn't see her at all in May.

I was commissioner of BRAWL (NJ indy with Mike Sharpe trainees) slightly after 1997. They wanted to de-pants me and do other silly things. I kept saying that I want to wear a suit and give proclamations before the title matches like Lord Blears.

I used to get comped on a press pass by showing published photos/articles. A few years past that I was too honest to try. I also decided that I would rather have a reserved seat and be able to drink some beers at the show.

They lost me early when they called all of the companies federations.

I'm catching up on AEW on my DVR. I've come to the conclusion that ECW will be in my head forever. Not only do I read JD Drake as DC Drake every time, I thought that I heard Taz say Don E Allen during Darby's match. Catching up some more, MxM is not for me. The amount of fast forward material in AEW is increasing. I might be done with English language TV wrestling soon.

Me too.

You can't really call them prelim guys because prelim matches don't really exist in the live broadcast, 15 minute segment ratings era.

Toudoukan has it at a slight discount from the original price. The US Dollar is super strong against the yen right now (I just reserved a hotel a block from Korakuen Hall for a little over $400 for a week). スターダム season11 grows up stars 2013｜格闘技プロレス買取販売！世界最強の品揃え！- 闘道館 (toudoukan.com)

There's this song Wrestle Rock Rumble you should listen to.

That's why I have never gone to an AEW show.

The Montreal screw job was the only finish that Bret Hart would agree to. I was pissed off at Bret when it happened.

As January 5th is on a weekend, New Japan is running the Tokyo Dome for 2 days again.

I have an opposite one. MMA showed me that the sleeper hold is legit. I thought that it was one of the dumbest kayfabe moves.

I saw XPW in Newark tonight. Once again Facebook covered my photos of Dr. Redacted. They must not like him.

I hope that your seats aren't low enough that you can't see because of all the jerks standing up with signs. Have a good time!

Russo kept saying that he is producing a TV show. Many times I have told fans in Japan that I don't care much for US wrestling because it is a TV drama made for the people watching on TV, not the fans in the arena. In Japan it is a broadcast of a wrestling card made for the fans in attendance. Bischoff, Hogan, Russo, along with Vince top my list of most hated as is being discussed elsewhere (excluding murderers and child molesters).

Speaking of Chigusa and crazy title names, the tag title in MARVELOUS is the Plenipotentiary Championship Award.

Don Muraco was. He had multi-month runs at MSG against Backlund as IC champion at least twice.

Took me until this morning to finish watching. Too overbooked sports entertainment for me. Way too much of everything including too many wrestlers in the company.

Pretty Ota is still around. I see him pop up on a flyer once in a while.

He went away once in GAEA. However he came back immediately as Salaryman wearing a suit and hitting people with a briefcase. In OZ it was declared that the ban on Police ended with GAEA. I'm long past wanting to see him. but I did think that Salaryman was very funny.
