WRESTLING ON THE INTERNET NOT FROM THE NOW


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Its weird I know I was watching AJPW then and remember the Love Machines and Stamboli as fake Great Muta. I still don't remember them building that match up so well as that promo vid entails, but clearly, they did. Always dug the Dragon mask Muta donned for that one.

Was Khali supposed to be in that but got injured or something? Because I don't see any reason for them to be in that match without Khali.

Per Wikipedia, Khali was not medically cleared due to "elevated enzymes in his liver." He was written out by having Teddy Long inserting Big Show into the match for attacking Taker backstage.

This was the first puro show I ever bought, entirely for the 10-man and the cool shit I had read about MPro and their highflying.  So I was very confused by seeing a Johnny Saint match, whatever the hell was going on with Wellington Wilkins hair, a Battlarts match, and a legends match.  I was definitely thinking that puro was way shittier than the internet had made it out to be.

Yeah I remember Bobby and I think Carlito and others getting popped. I had to look "elevated liver enzymes" up and found out that alcoholics usually get them. Even reading again it doesn't seem PED related.

Dianabol is an oral steroid that is kinda hard on the liver and generally also causes the elevated liver enzymes flag to pop up.  I also imagine that they could of all went out drinking the day before the tests and had popped some tylenol or other normal substance that elevated their liver enzymes for the test.

I'm definitely gonna watch the 10-man again and the BattlARTS tag (I am currently pissed that there is so little classic Bati online) but that is certainly a dog's breakfast of a card. Ooof, Dynamite in '96...

vrnam nchnm on YouTube has a lot of BattlARTS matches.

That channel also has a bunch of WAR, fancam All Japan, etc.

I'll check that out. It just seems that single names and combinations bring up nothing anymore; I should probably be looking for years and full shows.

Funniest interpromotional squash match ever. 

Spitting water on Dangerous Queen was Kurenai's first but not last mistake. I adore this. Love the refusal for the scabbard and then demeaning Kurenai on the mic after the match. Put this in a museum.

Nothing beats a hot Korakuen crowd, man. Those fans were the best.

There's literally thousands of hours of Japanese pro-wrestling, Battlarts included.
