NikoBaltimore Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I had no interest in ever seeing a World War 3 PPV. But looking at that gif I believe I'm going to at least see that match. Also love the ref wincing at that shot from Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This is Kyoko Kimura's daughter, Hana Kimura. She debuted this year, good in ring for a rookie but her personality/character is starting to come through as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Part of me hopes that character wise she develops into later career Miki Handa i.e. completely crazy. C'mon, who doesn't wanna see Shinbou Kandori throw a cement block through the Kimura' clan's windshield? James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I love it! If I meet her Saturday I just might have to bring this up. Well, that and her Stardom work in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 @Rev Ray I assume Taya's opponents are unusually short? Because she looks like a monster compared to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I actually just retweeted the thing off the web. According to wiki, Taya is 5'8". That makes her as tall as Reggie Bennett who looked like a monster in Japan. Given that Aja Kong is listed as 5'5", Bull Nakano as 5'7" and Awesome Kong is 5'11", it gives you a gauge of the size of some of the ladies in Japan.

Pete Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Interesting Tito wasn't doing the Matador gimmick there. Was this a one-off for him as himself on the tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Can only assume this was the same European tour where he had that great little match with Flair at the Royal Albert Hall so it was pre-Matador. Speaking of that, why did it take them three years post-Strike Force before they repackaged Tito?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matador gimmick debuted late in September on TV with the vignettes. This was early Oct. they were still doing the vignettes of him training into October. I don't 100% know when the gimmick debuted in-ring on TV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what threw me- Tito had another great match against Flair as the Matador, but that was a year later in 1992. I got them confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with Taya a bit in ECCW, and yeah, she's tall compared to, well, a lot of indy people these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
