And since the overall project is obv. dead, can someone move the thread to the main forum and just change the title to "All Japan Pro Wrestling (1995-) or whatever?

12/8 & 12/13 with the Super J and the RWTL Final in the middle on 12/9 is wild

God, the RWTL really ended up being a mess, huh?

My plan, after finishing the '95 RWTL tour, is to announce Panasonic buying 49% of the company, effective the start of the Champion's Carnival. Guys who get signed will be ones who, in some way, fit "All Japan"-- either they were there in reality or they just have the intangible. The inactive (in game) promotions will be sorted to a degree, with some still operating silently but AJ taking the obvious #1 spot nationally.

Thanks, and any input is genuinely appreciated. I have a lot of ideas but that doesn't necessarily mean that any of them are good.

Robbie Brookside & Alex Wright are just mine now, sorry, I don't make the rules. But yeah this is gonna be weird, there's going to be a good amount of reader input on who should be in.

Guess what? I'm going to try to revive this independently.

Loved this match. Just brutal as hell.

Bodyshots are the key to my heart and there's a LOT of them here.

The only match that I can find Fujiwara having in '99 is a super-weird NOW match with him teaming with Araya & Takashi Okamura against Dragon Master Nagasaki/Mochizuki/Tenryu.

Tenryu doing "Why are you hitting yourself?" with a chair on Abby is great. Any Tarzan-Tenryu interaction is gold.

Apparently Baba thought that he was the most natural bumper/seller of any gaijin he ever booked.

The Akiyama/Misawa-Brian Dyet/Kobashi match was not a holy grail match by any means but Dyet has to be the most obscure wrestler to ever main event an AJPW show and it's great that we have the footage.

I don't think "contextualizing stuff with something else from 30 seconds before" is overthinking.
