Just kick him and let him fall through the board instead of putting yourself through it. Plus, it looks stupid. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kick him and let him fall through the board instead of putting yourself through it. Plus, it looks stupid. Well, as a storytelling device in Pro-Wrestling, the 'Move that hurts me almost as much as it hurts you' is a way of telling the audience that your desire to hurt your opponent is greater than your desire ti protect yourself. Plus they probably wanted to make sure the board would break, and hitting it with two bodies simultaneously is a good way to do that. In kayfabe, the Side Russian Legsweep is one of the higher percentage moves out there. Think of all the matches you've seen where someone went for one. How many times was it blocked, or reversed? Not too many. Dolph Ziggler is an idiot for inventing an easier to defend version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason we don’t get more is because New Japan only partially owns their video library. A lot of it I believe is owned by the networks that aired those shows originally.

Jiji Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 And what of all those commercial tapes? Are the companies that produced those still around? Was it VIC or something like of was that the All Japan company? But the above shouldn't matter because World is either co-owned or co-operated with TV Asahi anyway afaik.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It also could be that the guys behind the scenes are too busy producing modern footage, that they are gladly letting the old stuff fall by the waste side. But I do believe some of it is legal issues. Remember New Japan still uses their own commentary team for shows that air on Samurai TV. That’s why sometimes you see Milano talking, but you can’t hear the words coming out of his mouth. Or how about the J-Sports shows? You can watch the rematch of Tanahashi Vs. Nakanishi for the IWGP Belt, but you can’t watch the match where Nakanishi first beat Tanahasi for it because I believe that was on J-Sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 That's because Samurai TV isn't involved with World though. TV Asahi, who owns the large majority of NJPW's archive (pretty much everything from '72 through the majority of the '90s and even then Samurai TV didn't get NJPW footage until well after AJPW started airing shows on the channel IIRC), co-owns the service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Don't forget, wrestlers can request their stuff not be on the service and they have to comply by law. I'm sure that applies to foreigners too. Imagine if Kenny Omega told them to take him off the service. THE RIOTS.
