Jenalysis Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 So stoked to see Muta near here in three weeks. No idea if he's in action or not, but he'll be here. (He's the major star at Wrestlecade) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 So, are there any good Tenryu matches during his stint in NOAH? I always looked at his Misawa singles match as the moment he got too old. Mostly because Misawa seemed intent on elbowing multiple concussions into his aged noggin. However, I may be missing some thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian_Waffle Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 In light of his impending retirement, just figured I'd pose a question with lots of acceptable answers: Who, in your opinion, was Lyger's best opponent? Much as I love the Benoit matches, my favorites were always his big 96 and 97 title matches with Ohtani. There was a chemistry between the two of them that really warranted a longer feud with a more definitive conclusion but I also realize they were making room for Takaiwa (hmmm) and Ka Shin (HMMMMMMMMMM...). Anyway yeah who's yer favourite guy he fought a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Kanemoto and Ohtani. Black trunk dickheads. Sano's two classics are great but it's just the two big matches and not much else as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Dylan James is out of the tag league, which sucks, but Jun Akiyama is now tagging with Joe Doering, which is awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Shota started his excursion in RevPro and he has new gear: Also has NJPW and "shooter" logos on his kneepads and a jacket. Edited November 10, 2019 by Archibald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlack83 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Big Japan is starting a 6 Man Tag Round Robin at the end of December. Opening night has Sekimoto/Zeus/Bodyguard all trying to pick up Ryota Hama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he bought an already existing promotion for Miyako Matsumoto. It will have its own style and be separate from the rest of DDT and it's satellites since this was more of a personal purchase.

Kang Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 He bought the rights. Was a splinter fed of Ice Ribbon and then for a while the secondary brand of Ice Ribbon, then shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I assume he will use it to indulge his propensity for drag and wrestling the women. I assume Takanashi and Owashi show up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Important, I think, bits were: 1. They are in talks of bringing more NJPW guys to CMLL in 2020. This likely has to do with NJPWofUSA being more of a thing now so once their USA tour wraps some wrestlers might go for a week or two to CMLL. Or something like that. 2. NJPW would be interested in bringing some CMLL talent for more than just a tour here and there. I guess they might want to use Titan as a semi-regular guy? 3. This might be lost in translation, but Sugabayashi said that he hopes that Kawato can become a star in CMLL before he returns to Japan. Now, I might be reading too much into this, but considering that Kawato has close to zero chance of becoming a star in CMLL... to me it kinda hints that NJPW are not really happy with his performance and he is going to stay in CMLL for a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Poor Kawato. He looked to have all the potential in the world before his excursion. Exquisite selling and fire. His techniques were of course simple but performed at a very high level. But he has to go play rudo oriental in Mexico because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevendaughters Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Liger's best opponent in my humble opinion was Mad Bastard Sasuke, but Otani, Kanemoto, and Sonmurderer all good shouts. I thought he had good matches against Taikawa/Black Tiger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian_Waffle Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Even his final "major" feud against Kikuchi and Kanemaru was phenomenal. Don't think anyone besides Lyger ever had so many memorable rivalries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several Japanese performers have had really good stints in CMLL. Everyone of them nowhere near as good as Hiromu, but most were able to carve a niche in the company. If Kawato can’t do it, then he has no hope to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The street fight with Jado and Gedo against Kanemaru, HIDO, & Kuroda is so damn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
