Shane Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not a match, but I wasn't sure where else to stick this. This channel has a playlist, broken out by year (starting in 1984), of commercials featuring wrestlers. There's a bunch of Event Center-type rundowns mixed in, but it's mostly commercials. They hit most of the famous stuff, but there's also a bunch I've never seen before. A good number from Japan as well. Turns out that Inoki will shill just about anything. The entire playlist is a fun watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Andre the Giant & Big John Studd & El Canek vs Antonio Inoki & Seiji Sakaguchi & Kengo Kimura - 30 may 1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Why was Studd masked and still announced as Big John Studd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 From Japan "The ring name remains the same, but Andre the Giant, who was in conflict with Stud at WWF at the time, also participated in the league match, avoiding photos of the two teaming up in Japan being reported in the United States. Therefore, he covered the mask and played as a mask man." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Ugh, I am consistently aggravated by that no-selling gooniebird Inoki. Any top pushed owner of the company who has given up even the pretense of selling in their matches really gets my goat - Big Daddy, Bruiser, Wanz: I am looking at y'all.Be more like Lawler, guys. We might have known what was what, but he at least made it a contest. You can make money w/o stroking your ago at the same time. At least my man KN got paid... - RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. That ain't Antonio, but I do respect Mr. Baba for stepping aside and moving himself to an appropriate spot when the time came -- better for business all around. Inoki charisma, legend and cult of personality may have benefited him, but there has been a lot of damage surrounding him along the way. - RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yeah, not a criticism of Baba. Just an example of how different those two were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's in Choshu's World Japan promotion, btw) Shit, I just realized that MAGMA gave us the only opportunity for Vader and Tenryu in the ring together. Did that happen? EDIT: no, but they gave us an (untelevised?) Vader & Dick Togo vs Road Warriors match. Edited June 16, 2021 by Control 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Anybody remember the debut of Val Venis (AKA Steel in Mexico)? No? Well here it is, and boy does he screw it up. Not only does he have a stiff-ass Scorpio clearly calling the match for him but he has the charisma of a brick. The whole match he just eats shots too; at one point there's a spinkick from Scorp that sounds like somebody hit a homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody has a ton of signature moves and they bust out all of them just about, and are stiff as possible while doing it. Plus it's NJPW vs. HUSTLE in Korakuen so the crowd is losing it the whole time. If you need a mood-booster today, watch this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
