dragonzombie Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Muto to become an adhesive of the possible unified wrestling world? Several attempts over decades with other wrestlers have been tried but to no avail. Kaito Kiyomiya and Muto seem to have something brewing match wise. If Kaito could combine Misawa stuff with Muto stuff, he could be even better in the ring. Edited April 20, 2020 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I haven't watched him in a while but he already seemed to be folding under the pressure of expectation and the Misawa tradition. I say let him be his own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian_Waffle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 So the payoff to Ogawa's unlikely late-late-career jr title run was that he finally dropped the belt to his late-career understudy. Who will now presumably drop it to a young guy? Seems like a long series of hoops to jump through before you finally get the title on someone new.

Belgian_Waffle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Also just a couple long-lost gems from Tenryu's 2000s AJPW stuff (watching him punk out Mohammed Yone will probably qualify as essential viewing for a lot of my fellow old grumps around here). Also fuckity fuck fuck Nagai in 2001/2001 should have had a damn main event run: And the finish to this one is hella screwy but everything leading up to it is hurty goodness: Edited April 21, 2020 by Belgian_Waffle Added 2nd match goddammit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Suwama wants to hire the first woman wrestler for his group Evolution. He said we need idol like women wrestlers. In other news, Wrestle Peter Pan 2020 is cancelled. Tiger Mask the first is now better health wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Idol can just mean looks. Or hire Visual wrestlers. It would help increase the male fans (and few more female fans) percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I remember that Muto said years ago said it's prohibited for AJPW to have their own real women's division. In other AJPW news, Jun's guest coach spot at WWE has been postponed indefinitely. And AJPW shows will return on April 30 and May 5.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) NJWORLD just posted Norton Vs. Hashimoto from 98. It was going good until that count out finish at the end.

I vaguely recall either Zach Arnold or Stefan Picksi alluding to the fact it was more that Norton refused to do a pinfall job and they didn't want to have Hashimoto lose another high profile match as he was being "protected" for the Naoya Ogawa feud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Wow, and that’s the outcome they went with. Those two never even went to third gear. Honestly it made Hashimoto look weak falling to a pretty basic move. I mean in theory an avalanche to somebody on a corner post should hurt a lot, but by that time corner post spots were common. It isn’t like the 1960’s where wrestlers barely went to the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
