If it's 10 years from now, nobody from Baba's AJPW other than Fuchi will still be wrestling. I'm probably most excited for the Hansen/Baba hologram match. Oh shit, I just noticed it's Tiger Mask II in the 2nd match. Another hologram?! Hold up whaaaaa? Guh? And who is gonna do the job? Are they gonna fight to a DDQ as if it was an '80s match? Also, WTF is this card anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I posted about this weeks ago. It wasn't a hologram but a video of an old match on the screen. Few matches are in the 2021 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Muto office: Muto said he wants to go 90 mins with Go. And talked about more women fans increase into NOAH and whatever about being sexy in the ring or something. DDT: Kobashi teached Endo the Kobashi fist of youth. Other news: The old versions of the All Asia tags now "True All Asia" will be defended by Onita and Fuchi. Onita said the older belts are cooler after he stole them.

Spontaneous Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Muto talking about being sexy in the ring just reminds me of when the Great Muta's mist impregnated a woman in Hustle. Is there a reason every promotion feels the need to have a women's division now? Not knocking it, just some seem very ill equipped to do so.

dragonzombie Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Women can be cheaper to hire plus fans of women wrestling may show up and increase attendance. So far only AJP and RJPW are adding women to their respective promotions but slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/3/2021 at 10:03 PM, The Natural said: I agree. Gave both *****. Sasaki/Nakajima vs. Kobashi/Shiosaki was my 2005 MOTY and that was a deep year. Watched Kensuke Sasaki/Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Kenta Kobashi/Go Shiosaki from NOAH, 5th November 2005 back. I stand by what I said. It's the 2005 MOTY. A year with: Spoiler Petey Williams vs. AJ Styles vs. Chris Sabin. TNA Final Resolution 2005. AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels. TNA Against All Odds 2005. AJ Styles vs. Abyss. TNA Lockdown 2005. Kenta Kobashi/Go Shiosaki vs. Genichiro Tenryu/Jun Akiyama. NOAH, 24th April 2005. Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero. WWE Smackdown, 23rd June. Batista vs. Triple H. WWE Vengeance 2005. Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome. ECW One Night Stand 2005. Kenta Kobashi vs. Kensuke Sasaki. NOAH Dome Show. *****. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles. TNA Sacrifice 2005. Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe. TNA Unbreakable 2005. *****. James Gibson vs. Bryan Danielson. ROH Glory by Honor IV. Bryan Danielson vs. Roderick Strong. ROH This Means War 2005. Bryan Danielson vs. Roderick Strong. ROH Vendetta 2005. Sabu vs. Abyss. TNA Turning Point 2005. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe. TNA Turning Point 2005. ***** It's a match I've always loved as veteran goes against veteran, protege vs protege and rookie tried to hold their own against the experienced vet. It's also in my top 30 list of the Greatest Wrestling Matches of All Time, just sits outside the top ten.

dragonzombie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Sounds good. But the match will most likely be around 25 to 50 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Kobashi suggested new KO-D belt to Endo, Endo said Kobashi said to him the belt looks "dull" as in color has faded and has aged as in wearing down. Endo said he would like to make a new KO-D Belt out of pure gold. Edited February 9, 2021 by D.Z 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDT is marketing both main events and the all women match in media more so than the other matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Man, that whole "Jay White Leaving" angle turned out to be a wet fart, didn't it? Unless I missed something he pretty much just came back without so much as a gimmick adjustment. I wonder what that was all about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I guess he can't leave all of the Omega aping in the past.

It was interesting to see the paths both have lead since then. I gather NOAH had a comeback year with Go Shiozaki as GHC Heavyweight Champion last year. Only NOAH 2020 match I watched was the staring contest one with Shiozaki which I fell asleep at the 20 mimute mark. I have no desire to go back to it. Any other recommendations? Last NOAH show I watched was Final Burning 2013 when the legendary Kenta Kobashi retired. Edited February 9, 2021 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last NOAH show I watched was Final Burning 2013 when the legendary Kenta Kobashi retired. I would recommend Shiozaki vs Nakajima, vs Sugiura, and Nakajima vs Kiyamiya from the N-1 Final. Kenoh vs Kiyamiya and vs Sakuraba are fine, nothing great. Go loves his long matches. I suggest skipping the first 30 minutes of Go vs Fujita, the last half is great stuff. It felt like such a grind by the end but as someone who has worked retail before I was extra sensitive to the pain that comes with standing in one spot while people glare at you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
