APRIL 2015 PHOTO THREAD


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Doing a presentation for a Japanese culture class on puroresu and Japanese MMA and how they are intertwined, was wondering if all you kind folk could help me out with some of the most quintessential puroresu and JMMA photos. Like Kobashi getting back dropped kind of stuff. FMW, Pride, Joshi, all that good shit.

Here are a few. The first is grainy as all hell but hope these help.

Can't go wrong with the legendary Kenta Kobashi:

As someone who works in marketing that Bundy ad is just strange to me. I love King Kong Bundy but he seems like one of the most odd people that you could have as a spokesperson for a computer. Was Hogan or Andre not available? It was probably one of those things where the President of Vendex was friends with Bundy and he thought it would be great to have an ad campaign center around him.

 

 

Bundy actually had a really great look for the period... dude stood out in a crowd, put it that way, so it made sense. How is this any stranger than George Steele doing PC commercials with Tony Randall?

It's an old pic, but calm down with it being from UPW.

 

 

I'm being perfectly calm. I'm simply pointing out the source of the photo. Take your patronizing twattery elsewhere.

Misawa taking a backdrop is absolutely essential if you want to make a solid point about how they take it way too seriously over there.
