Video Daze: New Japan 2003-2005

It should come as no surprise that I spend a lot of time searching for wrestling to watch. Many of you do the same I am sure. I'm writing, copy/pasting, having a bunch of different docs open to cross reference what I have, what I've seen and double checking dates. It's kind of its own hobby actually. And this is just for the things I find online. I'm sure the folks that actually post matches are doing the same thing. Anyhow, if you've been reading my original Puro+More blog, you probably know I

Shoot Style Sampling - UWFi & RINGS - 1994

Hi everyone! I'm back with more shoot style wrestling. We're in 1994 and looking at UWFi & RINGS. Yoshihiro Takayama vs Yuko Miyato (04/03) - Man, Takayama has reach! Miyato isn't going to win the striking game. He doesn't really dominate on the mat either as Takayama has a clear size advantage. This was really good stuff and I thought they went home a little earlier than I would have liked. They had really good chemistry and a dynamic fight.  Really LIKED IT Victor Zangiev vs Yoji

Shoot Style Sampling - UWFi & RINGS - 1993

Hi folks! I'm back with more shoot style wrestling. This time we're looking at 1993. Let's get started with UWFi. As a reminder, I'm avoiding the big names like Albright, Takada & Vader since I think their matches have been reviewed in depth before.  Dan Severn vs Yoji Anjo (02/14) Damn was this fun. Severn is way bigger than Anjo and was throwing suplexes. Anjo tried for strikes but Dan was absorbing them. I really LIKED IT Steve Day vs Hiromitsu Kanehara (04/10) - This had a bit

You Might Have Missed: Sabu in Japan!

Good day, wrestling fans!  RVD has posted or re-posted Sabu matches in honor of his late friend. There's plenty of stuff that I'd never seen before or was hard to find or only on compilations etc. I'm going to focus on stuff from Japan since it's been awhile since I've seen Sabu in Japan. Let's do a triple jump dive right in! Atsushi Onita & Sambo Asako vs. Sabu & Horace Boulder (FMW 04/23/92) - I saw this back in 2018 but decided to watch the full handheld. I think my original

Spotlight: Zero One Wrestling - 2004 & 2005

Greetings from the internet! This time we're looking at Zero One Wrestling from 2004 & 2005. It's a grab bag though. There's a few stand alone matches from 2004. I was able to find a full show but only three matches interest me. Also please check out my new blog Wrestling Dream Battles. Just posted New Japan 1995 part #3 up there.  OK let's look at Zero One Wrestling! 2004 Leonardo Spanky vs. Josh Daniels (01/30) - Good back & forth juniors match. Simple stuff and although

Spotlight: Zero One Wrestling - 2003

Hello! Now we're on to 2003 & Zero One Wrestling. I was able to selectively watch a couple shows. Also I will include the WEW matches featuring Zero One wrestlers. This is a doozy of a post. There's lots of quality wrestling here! Read on! Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Vansack Acid vs. Low Ki & Paul London (ZERO-ONE 03/02/03) - Oh yeah! This rocked! This is what the ROH guys were trying to do in tag matches in '03. This had great spots and never over stayed it's welcome. Paul London was e

Shoot Style Sampling - UWFi & RINGS - 1992

Hello! I'm continuing my selective look into 90's shoot style. Seeing as I'm cherry picking and avoiding tags & Takada, Albright, et al. we're starting mid way into 1992 with UWFi. Let's go! Yoji Anjoh vs. Masahito Kakihara (6/28/92) - This is looking to be a shoot style squash match early on as Anjo dominates. Kakihara delivers a gutsy performance. It's like the enhancement talent isn't going to go down so easily. This is a fine example of drama and storytelling in shoot style. This is

Quickie: ZERO-ONE & WEW - 2002

Hello there! We're going to look back at 2002 Zero One Wrestling. This post we're going to be looking at Kodo Fuyuki's post FMW league, WEW, and matches featuring Zero One wrestlers. So it's a WEW post about Zero One wrestlers, make sense? Shinya Hashimoto & Shinjiro Otani vs Atsushi Onita & Great Sasuke (05/05/02 WEW) - An absolute spectacle. You have to know that with Onita going into this. That is what he does. That said, he does a remarkable amount of straight pro wrestling or f

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985 - Final

Hello fellow wrestling fans! We're back for the final installment of Mid South Wrestling for 1985. It's been a helluva project! Definitely check out the previous entries or my entries on G. Badger Puro + More for pre '85 Mid South. Without further ado, let's go! November & December 1985 Ric Flair vs Butch Reed (11/07 ep.#322) Al Perez was a big deal in MS at the time...holding tag titles for a good deal of '85 with Wendell Cooley but I thought I would include this match as a nod to

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985 - Part 4

Hello folks! Let's keep taking a look at Mid South Wrestling in 1985.   September & October 1985 Dr Death vs Dick Murdoch (09/19 ep.#315) - This was shaping up to be a very good match. Bob Sweetan (who is teaming with Williams while DiBiase is in Japan I think) gets involved. He hits Butch Reed who's also at ring side. Sweetan & Doc start beating up Murdoch. Reed comes into help but no good deed goes unpunished. Murdoch thinks Butch attacked him. And that sets up the next

July & August 1985 Ted DiBiase vs Terry Taylor (07/04 ep.#304) 1st match on episode, impromptu match...DiBiase legit slaps Taylor in the mouth!! Hahaha oh shoot 😄 We get a real spirited back & forth match and we get a winner too. Dutch Mantell vs Terry Taylor (07/11 ep.#305) 1st match on the episode.

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985 - Part 2

Thanks for reading folks! This is part #2 of Mid South Wrestling from 1985! April thru June 1985 The Fantastics (Fulton/Rogers) vs. The Dirty White Boys (4/14/85 Convention Center, Tulsa) - This was a great face/heel tag match. Excellent selling from the Rogers, the Dirty White Boys have a great clubbing style, great finish too. They really hooked me with this one! Terry Taylor vs Chris Adams (1985-05-26 - Convention Center, Tulsa, OK) - This was a good match but felt a little

Spotlight: Mid South Wrestling - 1985

Hi there! I'm getting back to Mid South Wrestling. Thanks for following me with the new name & blog title. I've tried to make it pretty seamless. If you're just seeing this now, check out G. Badger's Puro + More for 7 years of old school wrestling reviews. I'm focusing on Japanese wrestling but review American wrestling as well like ROH, TNA, WCW and Mid South Wrestling. So I'm continuing that here so I can continue to entertain & inform 🙂. I am most interested in getting folks hyped on

Spotlight: UWFi & RINGS - Shoot Style Sampling

I've wanted to get back into shoot style for years. Paradoxically, I've wanted to avoid shoot style for years. The reason is that I have a difficult time transitioning back to traditional pro wrestling. It just looks slow or fake after watching shoot style for too long. Another reason is that I don't know if I necessarily enjoy how some shoot style matches are laid out and paced. Somethings are too quick and realistic and I'm unfairly comparing them to a real kickboxing or MMA bout. That or I'm

NJPW You Might Have Missed - 1990

Hi again! If you've been following my Puro + More blog, you've noticed that I've been getting more & more interested in old school New Japan over the years. Well maybe you haven't. I did do a 1984 & 1985 AJPW deep dive and Muto's All Japan but, just trust me! I've found that I really dig New Japan's heavyweight style. It produces a lot of very good to great matches. Occasionally it offers up a classic as well. I think I enjoy it because the matches aren't as long as All Japan's during th

Quickie: ZERO-ONE Genesis II - 09/16/02

Hi folks! Wanted to share a quickie review of ZERO-ONE from 2002. I think most folks might know the Spanky vs Low Ki match but, there's some other stuff worth your time. The main event especially might be appealing. It brings a '89 FMW, '92 NJ Karate vs Pro Wrestling vibe that I know I dig. Let's go! Fugo Fugo Yumeji & Kuroge Wagyuta vs. Kamikaze & Yoshihito Sasaki - Good match! This surprised me. Nice, hard hitting action. Nice way to kick things off! Hirotaka Yokoi vs. Kintar

From the Editor: Picking up Where I Left Off

Hey folks! due to some technical issues with the site, I lost access to my G. Badger account. So I'll be using this new account to continue my blog & post here on PWO. Just wanted to let you know! The Further Adventures of Puro + More... is a continuation of my Puro + More blog than I've been doing since 2018.  Fortunately, my wife had made a profile on here a few years back while I was getting her into different types of wrestling & she was kind enough to loan me her profile.
