I've always thought that right there was a big endorsement of their talent level. A big gulf in talent level from Roop/Garvin/Orton down to Eddy Mansfield/Jim Wilson.

I would rather watch a SD Jones or Tony Garea opener from the cheap seats than have ringside VIP for a Shane McMahon main event. I am both smart and weird. - RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 An absolute must watch. Busick and Thatcher put on a clinic in front of other indy wrestlers in what seems to be the CZW Wrestling Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Revisiting some old Noah. This is an absolute must watch. Hate filled Jr.'s wrestling. One of the best matches of that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching Gulak mat wrestle with Joe fucking Gacy for like 35 minutes or something and it being compelling. There was some good stuff from there around that time.

Have you seen the series of matches between the Biff, Gulak, Thatcher trio from elsewhere? I was blown away by their matches in Beyond, but haven't seen any of the CZW matches and am curious if they are just as good so I can check them out.

Jiji Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Kikuchi one of the best sellers in the world ever, right? He and Fuchi were magical together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Those matches are gold. Kikuchi as the aging gunslinger willing to die in battle, Liger as the complete bastard eager to kill him. Best interpromotional stuff that doesn't involve WAR, probably. Anyway, this just showed up in my Youtube feed out of nowhere... EDIT: After watching that, my only comment is the old adage from DEAN: "Japan is a foreign country." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ditch. Liger/Kikuchi and Hashimoto/Misawa are the 2 interpromotional matches we never got to see during their interpromotional wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got around to watching this and goddamn have I wanted to see it for a long time. After the watch I remembered why: this review by Schneider from DVDVR 140 Quote PS: The second match (2/7/02) was more about the non-wrestling parts of the feud then the ring work, but the non-wrestling parts were fucking awesome. Tanaka is such a spectacular Gino Hernandez pretty boy cocky fuck, that any other role he ever played (including his stupid ass AAA undercard Heat gimmick) is an utter waste. He spends the whole match preening and posing, and making you hate his guts. My favorite Tanaka moments were him fouling Kanemaru and then taunting him by miming testicular pain, and him making the "come here" motion with his middle finger during the post match pull apart. Liger is amazing here too- as post match he goes fucking crazy as they have a huge pull apart in the ring. As he is going to the back, he takes a swing at a female NOAH fan and curses and flips off the crowd. Then he and Tanaka jump Kanemaru back stage, and he destroys the NOAH press conference set. The match was really great too, but was really secondary to all of the spectacular heel heat generated by the NJ two. The match is all that plus Kikuchi getting kicked right in the back of the head, thus that screencap haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
