This time I'm building a bump freaks compilation and I'm coming up short on obvious names. Who am I missing? Pat Tanaka and Ubas/El Puerto Ricano were the first two names not already mentioned that popped onto my head. Man...Tanaka would throw himself into the most routine looking back bump, just to make every move look that much more devastating.

odessasteps Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I just watched Tanaka in JCP tv match bumping around for the Russians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 There's that one Ibushi match where he gave Kenny Omega a top rope to concrete floor Huracanrana as well. Or the fireworks deal. Which wasn't a bump, but was an example of crazy dangerous thing a wrestler did for no apparent reason. You want death match bump freaks too? Masashi Takeda has landed on some pretty horrifying things over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've reminded of Tetsuya Naito vs. Kota Ibushi from NJPW Dominion 2019 which went too far for me: Ibushi/Naito matches push the limits.

Zimbra Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 One thing I was thinking of is that the 90s All Japan guys took some fairly horrific drops on a regular basis, but I don't really think of them as bump freaks in the same way I do others and I'm not entirely sure why.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me somewhat sad, being something I've hoped and dreamed would happen for years. They'd have all been fed to Lesnar to make him look strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being on the main roster might actually help him in terms of finding an actual character to work with. NXT did him no favors in that respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, my excuse to post my favorite random Superstars match from the 90s...1-2-3 Kid vs. Pat Tanaka. I'm almost positive this is the first time in WWF that someone took a sunset-flip-powerbomb to the floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She blocked me on Twitter a while back because I pointed out that her views about how NFL players shouldn't kneel during the national anthem were borderline authoritarian. Or it might have been because I told the guy who was white-knighting for her that she wasn't going to fuck him. It's hard to say. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of his, but I can’t see Brock giving him any offense at all. Now if it had been Keith Lee I would’ve felt more confident in that prediction you made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I ever noticed until this rewatch just how close Tanaka’s head would have been to the legs on the railing. I’d always focused on the idea that his head was probably beyond the mats when he took the bump, but man...that leg is jutting out just inches away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I remember seeing that when it happened, watched it with my dad. I still remember him laughing his ass off afterwards. I remember a rumor that the Road Warriors were under the masks. I don't care if it's true or not, because it will be true for me no matter what.
