Death From Above Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Since it was just up in @Dolfan in NYC's Wrestlemania review thread, why not? Bell to bell Big Smash wrestling. Batista is really the rare breed who could actually stand there and exchange bombs with Taker and it results in a pretty great chemistry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw of video (via the suggested video panel) of them just chilling on like Miwa's Youtube page. Being a weirdo, I follow Yasha Kurenai's YouTube channel and two weeks ago she had a ZOOM with Shark Tsuchiya. Which I was happy to see since Shark's Wikipedia entry stops with having her lower leg amputated because of diabetes and her being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She looked like Shark, which made me feel better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BohsJohnny Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm surprised that Matt D hasn't posted this here himself but good lord this match is as good as it looks on paper. Murdoch and Kurisu is a dream match I didn't know I needed till I saw this. The match would probably qualify for the blood and clubbering threads too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah, I can't claim great genius on that find. I was looking through match listings to make sure I wouldn't miss anything in 89 for the AJPW project I'm doing, came across that, realized it was in some of the usual places and boom. It was crazy it wasn't readily available. It was actually #64 on the Other Japan 80s project so the board at one point knew about it. 63 was Carlos Plata/El Doberman vs Mighty Inoue/Mach Hayato ( 11/1/1980 ). I wonder how that holds up.

Matt D Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Rabbit hole: The talk in the gif thread made me go back and wonder what I saw in the one Nitro in Boston I saw as a kid, and I wasn't super impressed by the c-players. That made me check other things I might have seen if I had been there in 97-99 at other times. That made me wonder when I'd have to be at a WWF show to see Negro Casas. In all of that, I discovered this result: Super Astros - 2/14/99: El Merenguero & El Torito defeated Negro Casas & Miguel Perez Negro Casas vs minis. Has anyone ever seen this? Even if it's five minutes, that sounds tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still a good match but not Negro Casas vs a Mini, so I am crestfallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawada's Cobra Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Currently watching 96-99 Japanese indies and some one posted this, fits right in with what I'm watching and after all these years I still enjoy the hell out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Roy Lucier is doing it again folks. "Been looking for this for a LONG time, and magically it was in this AAA TV pile I just got. This is the IWC event at the LA Sports Arena with CMLL in 11/95. This was after they discontinued their relationship with AAA." CMLL in Los Angeles (November 25th, 1995) (handheld) 1) Migra I/Migra II vs Mexican Blanco/Súper Diablo (Erin O'Grady/Crash Holly) 2) Los Brazos vs Apolo Dantés/Pirata Morgan/Satánico 3) Silver King & Vampiro vs Head Hunter I & Head Hunter II (Head Hunters had already lost the CMLL TAG belts, but CMLL had told IWC they'd get them back by this time so the match was promoted as a title match. Hunters did not win the belts back, but brought him to the ring and this was presented as a title match. Silver & Vampiro won by DQ (foul), so were announced as new champions) (notes from LuchaDB) 4) Atlantis/Héctor Garza/Pantera vs Eddy Guerrero/Emilio Charles Jr/Felino 5) Máscara Año 2000 vs Rayo de Jalisco Jr (IWC Heavyweight title match) 6) El Hijo Del Santo vs Negro Casas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobholly138 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Bit of story to understand the vid. Shane was suppose to fly into Gulfport MS,which is like 30 minutes from Kiln MS. Shane instead flew into NOLA. So the ringide camera guy had to speed from Kiln to NOLA and back. Shane got there about 8 minutes before the vid starts.
