WRESTLER OF THE DAY: THE GREAT KABUKI


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Ideally I would have done Brian Hildebrand today since it is the 15th anniversary of his death. But sadly there is almost no footage of his actual wrestling around and watching him choke out fans only takes us so far.

So instead we will do The Great Kabuki - whose birthday is today.

Ah IWA Japan, the WAR-ness of your lineups is so deliciously random.

No idea why the retirement match between him and Muta isn't around.

hey, if there's anybody with the Muta/Kabuki fountain of blood match... post that on YouTube again. Hint Hint.

 

Heck, even the other Muta/Kabuki match is gone because the uploader got zapped for copyright violations. So it's possible to upload Japanese wrestling and get your YouTube account deleted

Wow! I have to say after searching for the Great Kabuki, there's about a million matches I want to watch, some of which have already been posted. So many tag and six man tags that, at least on paper, look pretty good. On top of that, there are so many random tag match-ups.

 

Here's Kabuki vs Greg Valentine, whose entrance theme is "She's Got the Look" for some reason.

This one's short and sweet.

Technically, this isn't a kabuki video, but it is about him. Besides, I just wanted an excuse to post it.
