I only knew of Pitbull due to beer commercials. So I should know Bad Bunny from commercials with Snoop Dog? Is Bad Bunny Martha Stewart with a mask?

Riho has had star power and the ability to pop a crowd since she was 10 years old. She grew up, kept her charisma and can now wrestle main event style. Her story is seeing her grow over the last decade. It is wonderful to see her on US TV now. I paid to go to a DDT sub-promotion show just to see her a couple of years ago. I would watch her even if she was in one of the Vince leagues, like Kushida and Io and AJ.

I can't think of a good way to beat Aja on this side. I'm cool with a rematch of 2018 OZ match of the year with 2018 MVP Shida. Announcer guy didn't know who Tommy is. WTF? VENY/Asuka is billed as a genderless wrestler in Japan. Seeing four all action matches in just over one hour made for a great show.

It looked like Kenny grounded his club in a hazard. Call the USGA rules officials. He is now 100% heel after that.

Which led to Baby Bono being hatched from Yingling's egg. Therefore The Great Kabuki became Akebono's grandfather!

I read that as train wreck in my mind. My mind is probably right.

There was discussion here about DQs and count outs recently. The chokeslam from Archer to Kingston is the kind of move that could end the match by count out with it not being considered BS. Kingston look dead.

I was responsible for scheduling and documenting required training at work. The corporate lawyer had online training every other year from Law.com. Sounded very official to me.

That movie showed up on my cable when I searched the program guide for lucha a year or two ago. Dark, dirty and hopeless atmosphere was captured in the movie.

The article does mention that it was previously a Yamashita Book Store. Hopefully a new book store takes over the location as before.

I'm retired and can watch wrestling all day (at night I watch home team sports). I DVR WWC Puerto Rico, Lucha Azteca CMLL, MLW, Impact Xplosion, NXT, AEW, IWS, and ROH Classics every week. I stream most of the full cards shown on Samurai TV and GAORA Sports excluding Dragon Gate, DDT related and am a year behind on NOAH. Sometimes online current stuff from AAA and CMLL. I will admit to much of it as background while I am online, reading or have music on. I go to GCW shows in NJ and Lucha shows in NYC. I see 20+ shows in Japan in around New Years and Golden Week. I'm enough of a regular at the restaurants of Kyoko Inoue, Great Kabuki, and Genki Misae that they know Ka-to san by name.

I think that I remember when 1* was average and 2* was good in his ratings. Now it seems like average gets 3* and it goes up from there. Beer reviews are also on the zero to five scale. There are so many beer reviews where the description is of a bad beer yet the rating is like a 3.2. The purpose of modern wrestling is to keep you from changing the channel when there is a commercial break. I grew up when the purpose of TV was to get you to buy a ticket to the real wrestling card at your local venue. I still have a hard time with TV drawing more fans than regular house shows. TV is full of promos, skits, and bullshit. Whatever happened to a card with an opening match through a main event? That's why I watch more wrestling from Mexico and Japan. Gordi-san, If I ever see you again we must drink some sake together. I don't remember if I had to catch the Shinkansen or if I went to meet my Osaka friends after we were at Osaka Pro, but we didn't go drinking. I've lost contact with my Osaka friends, half of them were my senpai and might be dead by now.

Is Madusa driving that??

Brutal, brutal!

I remember when Battle Royal matches were pushed as the most dangerous match of the year because you had to be thrown over the top rope to the floor to be eliminated. At that time throwing someone of the top rope was an instant DQ. Then the "his momentum carried him over" started. Now the bump means nothing and Battle Royals kind of suck.

Are current NOAH shows still on G+? The NOAH website has no link to G+ that I can find now.

I always see this and don't know what is meant. Both are solid. Cable is woven from wire and rope is woven from string, yet when I get close to a ring the ropes are rubber hose, possibly wire reinforced.

DQs and count outs are fine and should be used to show that there are rules. Double DQ and count out finishes are horrible.

70's - 80's WWF prelim wrestler Sylvano Sousa passed away from Corona.

Dewey Donovan. He was Gage's manager from the CZW early days. Shows up with him sometimes. My guess would be only on shows that are driving distance from South Jersey.

I was at Kyoko's old bar one night when Takako randomly showed up with her tiny 5 lb. dog in her arms. Takako was very friendly yet chill. Kyoko is always super genki, never chill. Of course it was a fun night. At the time I think that the NEO girls were kept alive by all of the drinks being bought for them at that place. Wrestlers drinks were 1000 yen and I'm sure that Kyoko gave them a cut.

Vince Jr., he wrestled so I can pick him. Killed the territories and now most every English language TV show is patterned off of his crap. Hogan for being the face of bad cartoon wrestling. Buh Buh Ray Dudley for being a dick. I left murderers and criminals out of this (kind of).

Again with the Arena Mexico low blows?

Double fuck Eric Bischoff.

Japan used to have beer vending machines everywhere. They automatically turned off late at night. They were in every train station and at random places with the rest of the vending machines. They have been mostly pulled in Tokyo. I think that they are only in front of liquor stores and in hotels now. I remember buying a half gallon jug of beer out of a machine. I guess that the old answer to the question of "can't underage kids buy beer from them?" of "they're not allowed to" really wasn't true.
