DEAN Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Greatest beginning to a match EVER! Yumi Ikeshita and Judy Martin are the fucking Minnesota Wrecking Crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 These are some interesting looking finds from my search for the red red krovvy -- to no avail, even though Rusher's one of the participants. I'll leave 'em here instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of in college, my girlfriend had a roommate who was a Japanese exchange student, now the exchange student's buddy was also an exchange student and after like 2 weeks in the states she went and got a perm and was super pumped about it. This was in 2004 BTW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Joyce Grable is the Terry Funk of women's wrestling. She is all over the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Lucy Kayama has a powerful perm, but NOTHING compares 2 Yumi Ikeshita's. It IS 1980, after all. Kayama does try to match ikeshita's ROUGH TACTICS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 GOD DAMN THIS MATCH IS AWESOME. The Jumping Bomb Angels brawl like motherfuckers against Bull Nakano and Condor Saito. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Monster Ripper and Devil Masami in a chain match. It looks like the both blade but nothing comes out. But still, quality ass stomping, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Goddamn this is some big boy wrestling. Takayama and Misawa from 2001 figure out every way they can think of to throw a knee or an elbow, and I'm here for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 This match is amazingly good. Dynamite Kid lays it in. Buddy Rose hangs with him technically. Buddy Rose was so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Chris Dickinson vs Brett Ison. (Have you ever seen a Dog Collar match, where they worked so stiff that they break the chain? Because Brett Ison and Jesse Butler did. But you need IWTV to see the pro-shot version. The match is on YouTube, but it's filmed on a phone and double letterboxed down to where you're watching a postage stamp sized screen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Devil Masami is aligned with the lunatic gaijins and gets a singles match with the petite queen, the Pat Benatar of Women's Wrestling, Mimi Hagiwara. Devil starts off by establishing her biker chick cred by chasing Mimi with a pool cue. Mimi responds by punching Devil in the face. 80s Japanese women's wrestling is the best Russ Meyer film ever made. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Main event is Jumbo Tsuruta/Genichiro Tenryu vs Harley Race/Nick Bockwinkel. I’m not sure I know what a Wrestling Machine is but these four guys gotta count, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 On that note: Main event is Riki Choshu vs Rick Martel. It’s the battle of the Ricks! Choshu apparently knows that people will start suplexing each other on their heads in a few years and wants to get ahead of the game. Undercard may have another contender or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I got a lot of the '85-'86 Japan TV from Lynch way back when specifically to watch more Riki in AJPW. I have no recollection of that match and Rick Martel has become one of my favourites over the past 5 years or so. I need to watch that when I have time to fully appreciate it. Thanks for posting that one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I finally saw that one last night. I loved when JBA would get pissed off and hyped up to deliver ass whoopings to Condor and Bull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I can only handle about 5 minutes of pure marking out at one time, these days. This match (which I believe - sadly - is their only meeting) provides almost precisely that: Dick Togo vs Negro Casas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think this match was the first building block of Chigusa's booking idea of how awesome "a young unstoppable superstar has to face and beat the old guard" angle is. This is way more intense than a face versus face match should ever be. 4:27 is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
