DEAN Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Man, this is a tagteam assbeating. Rina Yamashita and Hiroyo Matsumoto must have punched each others grandmas in the face before the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 This is the Marvelous version of the angry woman fight. Kaoru Ito is awesome as the biggest meanest lady whose offense in undeniable because of how big she is. Takuma Iroha is such an odd wrestled. She is an ass-stomper but she always works to the match as opposed to getting herself over. Here she accidentally kicks her teammates more than her opponents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iroha commands that crowd so damn easily. Its amazing and just a bit disappointing having watched Stardom from the beginning and knowing that she would have been ace there years ago had she not left to get even better mentoring under Chigusa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This is shorter than the match I posted in the Wrestling Machine thread. They just fucking lay it in right after Iroha hits the AWWWWWESOME Everest Suplex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched this and really enjoyed it. For context, this match took place on the same weekend Rocky III came out. Edited July 25, 2020 by John E.

DEAN Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Monster Ripper and Devil Masami were an awesome ass stomping tagteam. The Pat Benatar of Women's wrestling, Mimi Hagiwara and Jumbo Hori fight back against impossible odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I don't see how anyone could watch the PR 80s set and not come out of it with the view that Invader #1 wasn't one of the best ever at selling and comebacks. I always kind of wondered what he'd be like into his 50s because his style didn't really require much athleticism. This more or less answers that question even if Bronco can be an absolute goofball, which means that Invader has to take a huge chunk of it.

DEAN Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Iroha assumes the role 2000 Meiko Satomura and Nanae Takahashi and Meiko Satomura asume the role of 2000 Akira Hokuto. And then the other three wrestler and stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It's funny to me that Nagata's strikes honestly sucked pretty bad during his first giant run then suddenly he got old and pow. Boy that match is good fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy that match is good fun. He was also almost always the lesser of the two people in the ring in terms of charisma or likability but I really thought he was a poor man's Akiyama until later on in his career. Despite that, he was in some fantastic matches from 2000-2004. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 He's one of those weird guys where for the longest time (and I'm not sure he ever REALLY got over this because I haven't seen much Japanese wrestling in the last decade) as long as he had someone to hold his hand, he had all the skills to have a great match. But if he had to take the wheel, yeesh. Some of his big matches are indeed very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Nagata is highly respected, and over in that regard, to modern fans--even if he never clicked is a transcendent top guy. (To be fair, New Japan throwing him into shoot fights did him no favors here.) It probably also must mean something that he made the WON HOF on the back of a unanimous Japanese vote, and that Danielson and Regal both cite him as one of their all-time favorites to work with.

I thought it was confirmed back then that Nagata made it in because of the wrestler vote, like everyone who ever worked in NJPW with him voted for him?

That could be it. Essentially, the gist seems to be he's highly respected by those he's worked with. Never quite had whatever it takes to be a transcendent star, but did his best at that level because New Japan needed him to; then, put over Tanahashi when it was time, and worked his way down the card.
