    I thought it was a cool gimmick myself in that Mutoh/Muta alter ego kinda way. I'm guessing they did probably have bigger plans for it at the start but in the end she'd only bust it out a couple times a year. Haven't seen the match but just knowing AJW in general that was probably the goal. They occasionally liked to book matches in a way whear it was REALLY obvious who the better wrestler was supposed to be coming out of it to put them over, especially the champs and this who tournament was pretty much just an excuse to give the Inoue's a bigger push.
  3. FLIK
    Yeah they were, dunno why but it got left off some results sites that list the card. Hokuto & Shimoda fought Lioness in a handicap match followed by Hokuto & Shimoda vs each other.
  4. FLIK
    Yuki IS Sakie Hasegawa
  5. FLIK
    When put that way, I can't help but wonder how it is Vince Russo never tried to redo this. As a kid, I legit never noticed the weird editing in this with the sky changing dark to light from one moment to the next and stuff.

    Found this clip of Martimes promos and wow, i'll just say that it's def everything you guys hyped it up to be

    Interesting back story to this. After the Jan tag title match W Inoue who were the 99th team to hold the belts at that point vacated the titles JUST so they could win them again and officially be recognised as having the 100th reign. This is the tournament final to recrown the champs.
  8. FLIK
    JGP winner was who traditionally got the year end title shot. Would have been interesting if they'd had Hokuto just leap frog Toyota like that because what do you do then? Hokuto > Toyota 9/2, Toyota still wins JGP 9/3, Hokuto > Kansai for 3WA in Dec. Do you just not give the JGP winner their title shot? If not that kinda naturally would set up Toyota as Hokuto's 1st challenger and then you're faced with either Toyota loses to her again (which probably would have been pretty damaging to Toyota) or they hotshot the belt again with Toyota winning and cutting off the long awaited Hokuto title run. They probably made the better choice avoiding that whole mess Well, after Bigg Egg she didn't really show up again until Arpil for the North Korea tour which is about a 5-6 month absense. Then after that she hooked up with Kensuke. Dunno if she was working house shows or not but by about late July-August she was back appearing pretty reg on the shows that made tape atleast with her & Shimoda getting the tag belts in Sept. Not sure when she officially left but in 96 she pretty much disapeared from AJW after they droped the belts back to W Inoue in Jan and didn't pop back up in Japan until she joined GAEA in Oct. Dunno if she worked any WCW/CMLL in the meantime and i'd assume somewhear in all of this she just wanted a break to spend more time with Kensuke.

    Glad you enjoyed this, it's pretty high up there among my favorite matches. JWP called them "Wild Dress Up Fights", it was the promotion's big signature grudge match, similar to how AJW used the cage so you'll be seeing a lot more over the years (well a lot is stretching since they were still rare but there's several more to come). It's possible but I doubt it. I personally don't think they made that call until after Toyota allready won the belt but i'm basing that 100% on hunch. I mean, Kansai beating Toyota for it makes no sense given the story they'd had of Kansai chasing Aja all that time so I fig they just flash changed it back to Aja just so they could wrap that up. If the plan all along was to have Toyota over Kansai they didn't really need to delay that until the end of the year and could have just done Aja > Kansai > Toyota straight rather then Aja > Toyota > Aja > Kansai > Toyota. Not sure what you mean by didn't have time to make her a challenger. Either way, AJW wouldn't have gone for letting JWP do a JWP vs JWP 3WA match at that time I don't think. The money is in the home company chasing the outsider to get their belt back anyways. Course, AJW were only willing to sacrafice Takako for the cause but still Heh, not even close. Just this year alone you've got 2 more street fights with them. Heck, they're still feuding today. They're kinda like Lawler/Dundee or Sting/Flair or whoever, on & off mortal enemies for all of eternity pretty much. Among a lot of people it is. Personally I think the July 95 match is the far superior one and that would be my pick. This one is on a comm release whear as July is from tv so this is the more famous, well known of their series however.

    No but Ditch said the same thing. Most recent match of his i've seen was from the 1/4/09 Dome show but I don't recall anything one way or the other about it.
  11. FLIK
    Tequila sunrise you have one arm chicken winged and the other in a half nelson. Tiger 85 you still have the one arm in the helf nelson but the other arm is around the chest underneath the armpit. Tiger 85 to be honest kinda looks stupid so I can see why it never caught on.

    Modern AAA was one of my fave promotions in the world back when I still followed it reg. I haven't watched in about a year but that's more due to lack of time then any dislike of the product, i'll get back into it one day i'm sure.

    8/16/2008 Kurt Angle & Shinsuke Nakamura vs Hiroshi Tanahashi & AJ Styles Wow, everything that made the tag the previous night good this match lacked. The wrestling was lazy, sloppy, passionless and uninteresting. They never got the crowd into it outside of a few "ohhh ahhh" cheers for big moves and jesus christ is Nakamura a fucking black hole of charisma. Like if Chono & Ohtani are 10's, id say Tanahashi is about a 6 and Nakamura is like a negative 17 and just drags down every one around him. I've decided he's by far my least favorite New Japan guy. I don't watch a lot of the promotion but i've been making my way through the 08 G1 and he's consistently had the worst match or 2nd worst match at best on each show i've watched. The prescence of a mid carder and the ring skills to boot. He's the poster child for the power good booking and a constant push can acomplish in making a star beacause there's no way this guy would have made it to whear he is if he had to climb the ranks like everyone else and rely on talent to get to the next level.

    Just watched this based on Loss' review. I wouldn't rate it quite that highly but otherwise I agree with everything written above, great match. A flawless example of how to pull off the basic tag match formula. Feels like something every kid in any wrestling school should be forced to watch and try to emulate. Heh, they even got me on 1. After they'd been beating on Bret for a while and he finall reversed the fig-4 on Owen and Bob just comes in and casually turns them back over I coulndn't help but think "you motherfucker, damn" Other random thoughts. I haven't watched any Bulldog matches in a while, i'd forgotten how freakin huge he used to be, geez. Also, Todd Pentingill was surprisingly decent on commentary with Ross, not great or even good but he was perfectly fine at it. Almost all my memories of the guy are as a backstage interviewer and whacky tv host in the studio. I've really missed announcers talking about the "imaginary diagnal line", sad sad day when that fell out of fashion.

    So as kind of a follow up question along the same lines as the original topic. I'm curious how ppl keep track of all the wrestling they watch/own or if they even do so at all? I still remember, things used to be so simple back in the mid to late 90's. All I had were a small amount of home made comps of stuff i'd tape off tv that i'd watch over and over and a tiny handfull of comm stuff, there were only 2 - 3 promotions I had access to and almost all the footage I had took place within the previous 3-4 years tops. Could get by quite well with just a few handwritten bare bones match listings for each tape. Wrestler A vs Wrestler B, maybe jot down if it was a title match or if it was a PPV include the name of it. Now it's 2011, I never throw out any match ever, i've collected 1000's upon 1000's of hrs of footage from well over 100 promotions around the world from the 1970's on with even a few things earlier then that. These days just to keep track of it all I keep all the info in a data base file or rather several of them. Broken down by promotion and including other info such as date, match time, if it's from a big US promotion what show it took place on like RAW or Nitro or whatever, the location of the DVD or tape so I can actually find the damn things when I need to, a personal rating for the match and ocasionally other comments or notes like if it was a title change or had a big angle attatched to it. Not as complicated as it may sound or time consuming and actually helps a good bit making me wish i'd done it sooner as i've got a crap ton of uncataloged stuff still that i'll prob never get around to making much of a dent in. Heck, i've got so much unwatched stuff i've had to make a seperate list just for that
  16. FLIK
    From looking up what little info I could find the entire thing seems to have been a horrible mess with the Ohtani/Benoit match to crown the champ happening before the tournament took place on WCW tv, the tournament itself having no brackets or rules or set amount of competitors with matches hapening at random, and Ohtani losing the belt to Malenko days before they finally got around to announcing he'd won it to begin with. Do have to say though, that watching at the time, having no internet and knowing nothing of the backstage stuff/international results or things being taped ahead it didn't come across as bad as it reads atleast. Honestly my only memories of it are a few of the matches they promoted being a part of it and being 99% sure that Johnny B Badd was either in the tournament or hyped as being in the tournament shortly before he left for WWF.

    Other 1995 worth watching

    FLIK replied to Loss's topic in 1995

    Back to the original topic. Like I mentioned in another thread, the biggest miss to me is easily Cactus vs Tarzan Goto which again, I completely spaced out on bringing up so no one to blame but myself Thinking about it, it may be Cactus' best match of the year and is quite possibly Goto's best ever I haven't sorted it all out yet but just taking a quick glance at what Ginnety posted on the Death Valley boards he appears to have a fair bit of 90-91 stuff we haven't seen yet. TV w Hokuto vs Bison & Nish/Hotta vs Toyota/Yamada 2 out of 3 falls stands out immediatly from jan/feb 90. And a hand held from sometime in 90 (guessing late in the year) that has Kyoko/Yamada vs Bull/Hokuto. There's also that new AJW classics ep that recently poped up with the other Kyoko/Yamada 91 JGP match I really gotta get around to buying too.
  18. FLIK
    A couple of those actually don't sound so bad. I'd watch the ones about Foley visiting amusement parks and the behind the sceens look at the road crew.
  19. FLIK
    Pillman won the WCW light heavy weight title tournament in 91 and the belt got abandoned in 92. Entirely diffrent then the Cruiserweight title but some whear along the way they retroactively combined to two lineages into 1.
  20. FLIK
    8/15/2008 Kurt Angle & Masahiro Chono vs Shinjiro Ohtani & AJ Styles Crazy fun match, AJ & Angle do their usual thing which is crazy over with the New Japan crowd (both really missed their calling being stuck in TNA), Ohtani & Chono have a heated mini hate exchange and both combined bring the charisma of 50 men to this, Ohtani & Angle take it to the mat which looked awesome for the short while it lasted, AJ & Chono is fun for AJ getting punked out. AJ & Ohtani get the mid match advantage and look like they'd have been a pretty swank team had they had more then this 1 pairing, Ohtani's just having a ball in this match dicking around & directing traffic. For the ending stretch they bust out all their sig spots and it ends with the happy signature dueling puro submission spot.

    Best fan insults

    FLIK replied to Loss's topic in Pro Wrestling

    Reading the last few post and the 1st thing that poped into my mind was the time the Dudleys pissed off a fan bad enough he jumped off a balcony and then hopped the rail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyfClBbGstg Sadly that's only the highlight version as the whole rant was gold, if i'm remembering correctly this is the same night someone threw a chair at em. Duds had a lot of moments like that, you could fill this whole thread with them practically, another fave was on the night after they'd allready left for WWF but came back for a surprise aperance in the dying days of ECW and they get in another shouting match with dude in the balcony only this time they just walk upstairs to him only to see him puss out.

    The end of a 2 year journey with Kansai chasing Aja. If Kansai was going to get the belt it HAD to come from Aja, anyone else would have been anticlimactic. A while back I marathoned their whole series and when re-watching this I was really impressed with how much they played off their previous bouts in this. With the 94 set not being out yet ppl going in cold are missing entire middle of the story but at the same time it's not something that's required. This stands alone as an all time great match but knowing the backstory enhances things all that much more. If you watch enough of either over their careers you can start to notice little traits each one brings to a lot of their big matches and this was a perfect blend of their styles. My answer would probably change daily if I had to pick between this and 8/93 as the best of the bunch but either way this is easily my all time favorite singles feud in joshi.
  23. FLIK
    Wow, never knew this match existed. They have a rematch to this in March that I have seen that was really disapointing, good to know this pairing can aparently do much better
  24. FLIK
    If that's the case, I can't think of a reason why UFC would work the # then, not really something that particularly benefits them all that much.
  25. FLIK
    Heh, replace "buy" with "pirate" and "PPV" with "his fight and nothing else on the show" and I totally fall into that catagory. I doubt there's very many others that do tho
