Mason Ryan... ugh. I think we would have all preferred his name not being mentioned, besides, he is currently being taken care of by top men

How can I find Davey Boy vs. Alex Wright on Youtube but not Fit Finlay vs. Johnny Swinger? 

Also, I really wonder what Hak trying to destroy his knees is on his personal drunk scale, and how it corresponds to anyone else's. If that's a solid 7, is a 10 "Challenged to play Russian Roulette and lost"?

I think Rock had long stopped doing his version of the Cheetah Kid by then

Still - he would probably be closer than the ECWA version of the Cheetah Kid

A quick google image search tells me this isn't Rock

These top men apparently work for Cirque du Soleil where he works.

I maintain Mason Ryan wasn't bad, just incredibly green when they debuted him on the main roster. He was definitely putting it all together in NXT by the time he was released, and I've seen him work decent bouts in one of m local indies against less than impressive opposition.

Absolutely dying at being reminded of Alex Riley's Rumble fuckup. What an idiot

Shark Tsuchiya was shit, but I give her a bit of a pass because of the finish in this match where she eats a Kudo Driver and lands on the side of her neck.

And that was after being Irish Whipped chest first into barbed wire and Power Bombed onto the ouchey side of a steel chair.

The vidcap alone endears one to look back fondly on the Megumi Kudo / Shark Tsuchiya FMW feud.

Speaking of horrible women's wrestling in FMW, was Bad Nurse Nakamura ever in anything good in that fed?

That fucking Preston Quinn vs. Memphis Mofo match was the fucking tits!

Just noticed that dig at Mr Pogo from Dean, he actually had some fun matches when he came back. I want to say he had a solid chain match with Ricky Fuji, Onita FMW I think it was in, Ichiro Yaguchi, Leatherface and a bunch more with others I can't recall.  Oh and that weird match against Shark Tsuchiya in IWA Japan, which is on one of the "best of 2001" VHS tapes and can be found on MuttonAndTheHam's youtube channel. Wish Lynch knew some one who whent to  all the IWA Japan shows, bet there's a bunch of tapes and later DVD-R's that were only sold at those shows. ( there's certainly some DVD-R releases )

Honda had a very strange career. He was legit just awful from most of what is on tape in the 1990's and seemed like a total waste of a space. Even in early NOAH there's... not much there. Then in 2003 he burst into a series of really good matches basically out of nowhere. starting with the GHC title match with Kobashi (which was panned as an idea before people saw it because he'd basically never done anything). He was already getting older for big matches at that point but had a nice period. It kind of makes you wonder why it took so long.
