    (HD) Von Erichs Tragedy. Heroes Of World Class Championship Wrestling Documentary - YouTube

    Here you go everybody

    I actually watched that on a little portable DVD player on the counter at Kabuki's restaurant. Kabuki had the same take as me, pills and coke are bad. Kabuki takes credit for teaching the Road Warriors about the fine points of face painting.

    This series is definitely Tales from the Territories, not History of the Territories. Just some guys that were there bullshitting with each other.

    Another thing from this series is that I didn't realize that Mike Masters was Rocky Jones.

    Hager was amazing; he had every right to say no to the hat gimmick but instead it was hilarious and gave him some real break out personality. 

    Hager has been quietly hilarious for a long time now. His five words or so and faces and posing during the JAS promos crack me up every time. That is a really nice hat too.

    . However, when they "introduced" the evil Pentagon (Penta Obscura? i can't remember the name), it meant absolutely nothing. Sure, he rose out of the grave or whatever, but he looked and wrestled pretty much the exact same. Why should i care about the name change?

    all props to Fenix for being amazing.

    You are right. Pentagon started as an evil Octagon. He was already evil.

    And yes, Fenix kicks ass.

    Natsu Bar

    Thanks. I will do my best to get there next time in Japan. At this point, I could enjoy a trip just going to wrestler's restaurants, snacks, and bars. I make sure to go to Genki Misae, Great Kabuki, and Kyoko Inoue's places every time that I go to Japan. Kyoko and Yumiko Hotta are in the same building with Noriyo Tateno (sadly no longer with Harley Saito) and Kahoru Toguchi having places around the corner in Musashi Koyama. I was only allowed into Noriyo's and Kahoru's places after telling them that Itsuki's husband told me where they were. Noriyo's place just has a very small sign that might be 3 by 6 inches that says GOHAN members only on the door. No mention of her and Harley. I hope that Natsu Sumire makes my rotation. She kicks ass!

    I saw that NJ is selling a package tour for US fans to go the the Dome show. I thought that the prices were reasonable, but then someone showed me that airfare is not included. They are charging $1200 - 2000 for what I would spend $500 for with the current exchange rate. 

    I decided to skip this year. I will go to the Muto Dome show instead. If things go well for me (I'm a fat old man having mobility problems) I will go back for GW into the May Sumo.

    The long shows running too late is an issue why I don't go. I take mass transit to the venues. I need to be leaving for the last train home between 11:45 and 12:45 depending on if they are in Queens, Newark, or Brooklyn. The no cameras allowed policy also keeps me away. The damn fans standing up and holding up signs even higher is just the cherry on top of reasons that I don't go.

    I like the TV for the most part and really want to go, but I just know that I would not like the live experience.

    UFC is just as bad. Dana White thinks that the whole world is Las Vegas. I left one show before the decision was announced, left one show before the main event started, and stayed for one show to see the main event, which led to me having to drink until 4 AM and then wait in Penn Station for 2 hours hanging with the bums waiting for the first train in the morning.

    Jos had the lazy eye. Easy peasy. 

    That's probably gonna be the Hawaii episode. 

    You gotta admit, going to prison and having the rep of being there for beating up a gang of cops is probably the best way to be incarcerated. That's some Saul Goodman shit.

    Masa Saito could have gone back to Japan instead of prison. He would have never been allowed back to the US. He chose prison so he could continue to get and work with gaijin for New Japan. He also was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was all Patera's fault.

    The story is that Charly Manson was a hero in prison after he went there for beating up a bunch of cops. That was a crazy story too. He was so drunk that he lost his car. He went to the cops to report it stolen, however they arrested him for being loaded in public. He beat on the cops with rocks in his hands. I guess he couldn't get the traditional wrestling roll of quarters.

    I get why people are bored by Dory, but I enjoy him. 

    Though really I mostly enjoy him when he's wrestling Horst Hoffman, based on the random watching I did of Dory in the '70s on YT a year or two back. 

     

    I like Dory too. Something that Dory did that is very lacking from modern wrestling is trying to hold down his opponent's shoulders to the mat for the pin. I watched the Asahi TV Inoki show with the 70's matches today. There was plenty of trying to pin the shoulders action in that. The "hook the leg" that is used by the wrestlers and talked by the announcers now is stupid half the time. Hook the leg is good if you want to pin his ass, not shoulders. 

    Watch some Dory from Puerto Rico or from when he was booking Florida as a heel. He did the same Doryism, but bled, cheated, and hit people in the head with a cowboy boot. I thought it was cool to have a dirty heel still doing double arm suplexes and headlocks.
