WRESTLING ON THE INTERNET NOT FROM THE NOW

[DEAN]

Teen Akira Hokuto vs Teen Manami Suzuka!  The lighting is like a Kiss concert!  GET UP!  EVERYBODY GONNA LEAVE THEIR SEAT!  GET DOWN!  EVERYBODY GONNA...leave their seat?

Because i was talking about this match to my middle sister (she is the middle child, middle girl, and older than me)

[Death From Above]

So the other day I posted a Bestia Salvaje vs Negro Casas match I thought was great. I mentioned it to a twitter acquaintance that loves Casas and he asked if I'd seen "the La Fiera match". 

I have now and goddamn it's pretty great. 

[DJ Hero Morganti]

So i am rewatching Kobashi/Sasaki and I forgot Kobashi does a fuckin slingshot plancha. Sasaski does a fuckin Top Rope Rana.

This match is bonkers. Yup Bonkers.

Enrique Torres is awesome. I am waiting for you all to discover Billy Goelz. 

[paul sosnowski]

Do you know of any other Enrique Torres matches that are available?

[ohtani's jacket]

No, unfortunately. 

[Death From Above]

Not enough blood for the FREAK thread, but a plenty good match between two absolutely gnarly guys that will do anything to win a fight.

[Curt McGirt]

This is a nice, hostile interpromotional tag. As much as you miss Shibata, you will be reminded that you miss Morishima maybe more. Kota is missing like 30 pounds of Midbreath enhancement too.

I thought of putting this in the clubbering thread, but it’s too long. Also the Wrestling Machines thread, but I don’t have the patience to counter any Suwama nay-sayers. So I’ll post it here.

All of it is great: ending is dynamite.

Two weeks before Mike Awesome won his first ECW World title in front of 6,000 people, he had his second ever singles match in All Japan against Kenta Kobashi in the Budokan at the last Summer Action Series show in front of 16,000.

 

[Doragon]

The Sandman vs. Jason Knight 03/25/95. W*ING.

 

[DEAN]

Asuka when she was an out of control wildchild against Emi Sakura.

 

[Death From Above]

Atlantis vs La Sombra, mask vs mask 2015. 

Super cool screencap, lol

[Control]

Since Dick Togo is back in the news:

 

[Doragon]

Richard Slinger/Wolf Hawkfield vs Gedo/Jado (All Japan May 1st, 1998)

 

[Curt McGirt]

That Togo/Honda retirement match is GRRRRRRRREAT. 

[Curt McGirt]

Too random to not post. Andre/Wagner Jr./Bammer vs. Canek/Fishman/Villano III.

[Jiji]

Wait, Antonio Honda wasn't always a comedy dork? I don't like this development.

[Curt McGirt]

Yeah, he was surprisingly solid on the mat when he wasn't throwing "Italian Powder" in people's faces and saying "fuck" all the time.

[Doragon]

Kensuke, Yamazaki, Hirata, Iizuka VS Muto, Tenzan, Sting, Wallstreet '97.10.10 [New Japan VS nWo Japan 8 Men Tag Match]

 

 

[Jiji]

Did Mutoh forget his tights? How long did he rock that look for? Also that's the most Sting-looking I've ever seen nWo Sting look.

[Doragon]

Very briefly. Not sure if it was all taped before switching to the pants.

[Death From Above]

Nick Kozak & Dean Ho vs. Mr. Fuji & Gypsy Joe Rosario (1972/04 07)
