RIPPA Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 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. http://youtu.be/oaMTn9eh1D4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I don't often wish I was a kid in Texas in the early 80s but it would have been cool to grow up under the specter of Kabuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I didn't know they had two matches, which one is the "fountain of blood" and why is it called such? I mean I can guess but I'd like details. Couldn't find either on Dailymotion even, but there was this: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xd8jd8_kenta-kobashi-vs-great-kabuki_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kenny Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 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. http://youtu.be/0h58JBwry6A This one's short and sweet. http://youtu.be/LNwv3yJu9yQ Technically, this isn't a kabuki video, but it is about him. Besides, I just wanted an excuse to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
