DEAN Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Oh man, this match is great. We forget how great Masa Chono and Koshinaka were. EVERYBODY hates Chono- Koshinaka, Kengo Kimura and his weird ass partner, Fuyuki. The postmatch is awesome. WRESTLE AND ROMANCE~! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I learned that Mr. Fuji's finisher is the Kamikaze Clothesline (looked like a lariat to me but it's cool). Young Dewey Robertson looked good in there, too. Later came the marijuana reefer and nudist camps, and then you start painting your face and ergonomically shaving your hair... - RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I remember seeing the sleeper deal when I first watching in the mid 80s, so it was still ongoing then. That was a crucial part of the angle with Dusty and Lex in JCP when Matsuda taught it to Luger and Dusty was using the Weaver Lock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wrap my head around the allegiances -- Heisei Ishingun are New Japan but not really New Japan, Chono is New Japan but a heel, Fuyuki is WAR but nobody likes him at all (even his lackeys Jado and Gedo probably), Tenryu is WAR and a face even though he seemed like a heel in most of the interpromotional matches, and Choshu is New Japan. It's such a weird mix and when shit really pops off during the postmatch it's the best. Fuyuki doing the Hogan poses made me want the crowd to throw trash at him so bad. It also seemed like somebody really pissed in Chono's cornflakes this morning, because all the kicks were super aggressive, they tried to open up Koshinaka hardway, and the speed he went into that STF... ouch.

Curt McGirt Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Surely this is a lock for going here. Plus I've never seen Asuka in Japan (and didn't even know she worked barefoot). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 She started barefoot in nxt iirc. Then came the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Its more like she started out with shoes then went barefoot after a bit when she started training into the style people know her for. In general though I see people switch around when doing that style. Her protégé, Konami, does the same thing in Stardom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 This one has the actual Yatsu vs Mikel Sicluna match on it. According to cagematch.net, Yatsu's second match was at Madison Square Garden. I'm assuming he was trained in Florida by Hiro Matsuda. Hang around for Stan Hansen vs Bob Bachlund.

Curt McGirt Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 That is such a weird style clash. Sano acts like he's still fighting Liger and Nagasaki just keeps treating the match like he's going up against Wahoo McDaniel at a North Carolina house show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Portland boy who made good! There were always EMTs present when he wrestled in Seattle or Portland in case his opponent needed immediate attention after the dreaded heart punch. Stasiak didn't do much, but he did have that heart punch shit down to a fine art form. In the Northwest the measure of a heel's effectiveness was whether or not the grannies in the front row would try and stab said heel with a hat-pin. Stasiak often resembled a veritable pin-cushion on his way out of the ring via the wrestlers' exit. To this day I'm not sure which was the better place to view matches the Portland Rose Garden or Seattle's Masonic Temple, both were delightfully sleazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
