Kang Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) I remember that day. Shiraishi had some ideas to turn AJPW into a Royal Road/Shoot/Inoki-ism hybrid. I used to read his blog in Japanese He really killed off AJPW's Pro Wrestling Love Era momentum. Masa Funaki and more criticized or disapproved of Shiraishi ideas and knew Baba certainly wouldn't want the "Pro Wrestling is the strongest" approach in AJP.

Kang Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Another tag for the NJPW/AJPW show...Tana and Kento vs Jake Lee and Sanada. More announced people in what matches in link below, lot of intermixing unlike the NJPW/NOAH show. We will see if NJPW protects AJPW unlike NOAH. https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/4068533/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 I know NJPW has started doing the occasional ref stoppages in their matches again, even if the injuries are legit like Ibushi. (Okada vs Ibushi G1 finals last year.) To write men off the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
