"Puro" is a made up word the west likes to use, would make more sense to say the 'Resu which is short for wrestling.
Professional Wrestling long name in Japan is プロフェッショナルレスリング.
興行レスリング is rare anways...so let's not use it.
I remember 70's jackets, shirts, etc. that had PRO. WRES. on them because the period was because it was an abbreviation.
How did the west start to use sole butt for a savate kick? Was that from a video game too? The damn AEW announcer says that all the time. That one really bugs me. Meltzer continually calling Jordans, Lebrons, and other sneakerhead kicks tennis shoes makes me go nuts too.

I miss that MSG entrance in the stands as seen at WrestleMania X, Survivor Series 1996, SummerSlam 1998 and Survivor Series 2002.
So do NY Knicks fans.

This was crazy.
I thought that it was Riho chokeslamming Yuka at first. Yuka took the back bump. Those kind of moves easily confuse me.

Willie Mack must continue wrestling in Mexico using Super Porky's music and dance moves. It would be a waste for him to stop that to come to AEW.

The shows on GAORA have been 30 minutes so far. Not the full shows like W-1 had. OZ Academy is on about twice a year now. They seem to have cut back a lot. Now they are showing repeats of various old shows to replace what they are no longer airing.

I want Eric Young to come in as a comedy heel, get kicked out of his heel group for loosing, turn comedy face, do Don't Fire Eric, become main event face, turn evil heel and say that it was the plan from the start.

The Snuka phrases "the truthness in my heart bruddah" and "American Square Garden" are still used by me and my friends.

I absolutely loved the Clash of the Champions concept, and have seen most all of them multiple times at this point. However, the difference is that for all the Clashes that pre-date Nitro, they featured high-level matches that were previously only seen on PPV and very ocassionally on Saturday Night or one of the syndicated programs. And unfortunately, the Clashes were much less important after the introduction of Nitro. With the nature of wrestling TV in 2022, you have to have high-level matches on the weekly TV shows to keep eyeballs on them.
Wrestling has totally reversed since then. The Clashes were a chance to see a house show on TV. Now the house shows have no meaning and the fans pay big ticket prices to attend the TV tapings (or live TV). I wouldn't enjoy paying for a ticket for half of the show to be on stage, skits on the video screen, and the worst thing ever, showing some damn limo while a match is going on.

Of all these crazy wrestling things I’ve seen. Abdullah getting zapped in the Chamber of Horrors match might still be up there. 11 year old me loved that match, I don’t care what Wrestlecrap says, that match single handedly encapsulated Halloween. The good guys defeat the evil monster when the evil monsters own buddy pulls the lever. To deliver a “shocking” badly produced and slightly camp finale.
Wrestlecrap? More like Wrestleawesome!
I loved a good bloody Abdullah brawl, but for whatever reason that Chamber of Horrors match is burned into my memory. I’ll gladly chip in to help out one of my all time favourites
They blew their chance when Abdullah got electrocuted. He should have returned the next week wearing a suit and speaking English.

Ha ha. I've had my share of pink bellies. I usually give in, but it can be fun for all to fight back.

Joe looked as pink as Caster's trunks.

Make sure you watch Shinobu Kandori/Bull Nakano chain match.
I just looked on my shelves down here in my basement. Unfortunately that was a LLPW match. That was one of many VHS purchased from video rental stores in Japan really cheap when the stores switched over to DVD. A wonderful match for sure.
Izui from Lady Ring hosted a series of best of shows with various stars of that era on cable TV in the last year or two. The star was in studio with him and they talked before and after the matches. The footage was high quality. Actually the 30 year old commercial tapes played on a VHS through a DVD recorder to my TV with a HDMI cable look really good with whatever up-formatting and re-sizing happens on the way.

Bob Holly has to be one of the most prolific tag team members in WWE/F history.
-with 1-2-3 Kid (incredibly short lived but they actually held the tag titles for one day)
-with Crash Holly
-with Bart Gunn as The New Midnight Express
-with Billy Gunn as mentioned above
-with Val Venis (a really underrated short lived tag team, imo)
-with Cody Rhodes (I didn't watch WWE at this time, but apparently they held the tag titles for a while)
-he was in that JOB Squad stable as well
Who else constantly cycled through tag partners?
Tony Garea kept becoming tag champ with different partners. Haystacks Calhoun, Dean Ho, Larry Zbyszko & Rick Martel.

Maybe you saw him wrestle Punk in October? Might have noticed 2.0 wrestling Sting and Darby in Sting's first match on TNT since WCW closed?
I'm sure I saw him wrestle Punk. Saying 2.0 is probably why I said this. I know that there is a 2.0 team, but don't know their names.

You might've missed the one where Garcia just main evented vs Danielson three weeks ago
I guess that that kind of started it. To me it was Bryan against someone. This is part two of me getting to like him.

They haven't done quite enough to get people over. I've watched most TV since the start. I don't know who the three guys with Jericho other than Jake Hager are. This deal might be doing it now.

Has the Mad Man Pondo book been mentioned on here? Anyway, I axed for it for Jeebus' B'day #1 from my Amazon listee, and there it was. I just read it and it was light but fun. Pondo is a sweetheart, and don't believe the trope that all deathmatch peoples are gentle intelligent humorous humanitarians - they are plenty of jag-offs. At any rate, Mr. P is just that trope: generous, humble, funny, and smart. More of a collection of anecdotes in MMP's voice, as well as many others giving their input as well, oral history style. Yet another rassling book where I a not mentioned but I was in the room for a few of the mentioned happenings. Huh. Cool cover, too.
Loved the Abby story of $5 off for a shirt.

We knew that Dusty was booking and just laughed every time that a babyface had an interview and had to speak about Dusty before actually starting to talk about what the promo was actually about.

It was brought up that Chavo Jr. is the least of his family. I liked Randy Orton's father, grandfather, and uncle. I hate Randy Orton. All he does is pose and stare at the camera, then he realizes that there is another camera to pose and stare at.

That said, if you deleted the entire library of matches featuring Kaoru Ito from my memory, I don't know if I'd be that heartbroken.
Peter Pan Ito was nice. WWWA champion Ito was great. Cage against LCO was a classic. However the best thing that she can do now is sit on a young girl so the young girl can show fighting spirit by still breathing.

Budd Heavy falling off of the barstool brought back memories of Buddy Jack Roberts doing the same thing a long time ago. It worked back then, and it worked now. Timeless like a fat man dancing.

It's like...if the AEW style isn't for you, or TK annoys you, or you find Meltzer's praise for it oft-putting, or you have hang ups about size, or you think the Elite are assholes or whatever, I'm not gonna waste breath arguing over it. People can like what they like.* But I will say I find it very, very sad that people are missing out on the most exciting time and best quality in an American wrestling company in decades.
I pretty much have all of those negative opinions, however I agree with your overall point of this being the best quality US wrestling in decades and exciting to watch. I've watched more AEW since the start than WWE in the 20 years since Vince killed off ECW and WCW.
I'm very bad with remembering entrance music. I usually recognize the company but not the wrestler. Of course when there are lyrics about the wrestler I might be able to recognize it after a bit. I didn't realize that Punk ever stopped wearing the BBall shorts. My memory is getting bad and everything kind of blends together. All of you will be the same when you get old.
