The Brock squash at Survivor Series and the hoss bomb battle at WM definitely help him, everything else he's been involved with in the past 5 years has been garbage. If we're talking actual matches and not just rad squashes: Goldberg vs Saturn Spring Stampede 1998 Goldberg vs Saturn Slamboree 1998 Goldberg vs Sting Nitro 9/14/98 Goldberg vs DDP Halloween Havoc 1998 Goldberg vs Kevin Nash Starrcade 1998 (which I think is actually a pretty solid match) Hogan/Nash vs Goldberg/Flair Nitro 3/15/99 Goldberg vs Sting Slamboree 1999 Goldberg vs Sid Halloween Havoc 1999 Goldberg vs Sid Mayhem 1999 Goldberg vs Scott Steiner Fall Brawl 2000 Goldberg vs Satoshi Kojima AJPW 8/30/2002 Goldberg vs The Rock Backlash 2003 Goldberg vs Christian Cage Match Raw 5/12/03 Goldberg/Booker T vs Christian/Chris Jericho Raw 6/16/03 Goldberg vs HHH vs HBK vs Kevin Nash vs Randy Orton Elimination Chamber Summerslam 2003 Goldberg vs Naoya Ogawa HUSTLE 1 Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar WM 20 (also I think a pretty solid match even though it was weird as hell and the crowd was shitting on it hard) Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar WM 33

Nah that style was a throw back to early 00s NJ and puro in general and he and Shibata brought it back after it had really dropped off after Inokism bullshit

I think you can be certain she's going to get a million more chances to put on good matches in high profile situations over the next 5 years

Even if it wasn't an audience of one, I think "never look at social media" is probably good advice for anyone in any role on TV

He's also said really all he had left that he wanted to do was work in Arena Mexico and he's accomplished all he's ever wanted to in wrestling and could retire happy after that.

For all your fantasy booking ideas to come true and all bad wrestlers banished to some promotion you never watch

Are you sure you're a wrestling fan?

I completely skipped everything except WK and G1 last year and probably will this year as well. The breaking shows into 2 or 3 things for even non WK events made me not even want to seek out individual matches anymore. Still haven't even seen Ibushi vs Ospreay and I was actually interested in it.

That's the thing, its never in his eyes, he's just adjusting to make sure it is properly feathered at all times

Pants, as it is important not to expose your junk to an opponent and leave yourself open to attack.

1/3/85 Riki Choshu-Animal Hamaguchi vs. Genichiro Tenryu-Motoshi Okuma Bloody Highly Recommended 4/21/85 Genichiro Tenryu-Takashi Ishikawa vs. Animal Hamaguchi-Riki Choshu Highly Recommended 6/2/85 Animal Hamaguchi-Riki Choshu-Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Genichiro Tenryu-Jumbo Tsuruta-Motoshi Okuma Highly Recommended 6/4/85 Genichiro Tenryu-Takashi Ishikawa vs. Animal Hamaguchi-Riki Choshu Joined in progress, bloody Highly Recommended 6/21/85 Animal Hamaguchi-Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Jumbo Tsuruta-Takashi Ishikawa Highly Recommended I have a number of other tags around the same time as recommended. Singles wise, the Jumbo match in the AJPW vs JPW series is the only singles match even in the Archive since 9/26/73 Animal Hamaguchi vs. Mighty Inoue Recommended So it's hard to judge him as a singles guy but he ends up doing much of the work inIshin Gundan tags

Generally unwatchable

Yeah it's been pretty difficult for me to wrap my head around

Lol at billed at 6'6" Luchasaurus being maybe half an inch taller than Sting

Shingo has been such a great addition to NJ.

I didn't think Jericho could be worse and cornier in AEW but returning to a face has proved me wrong.

This whole partnership just ending up being Cyrus getting a new job and Gallows and Anderson jerking off on TNT while Tony Khan buries TNA on their own show for months is really something.

They finally promoted Swann vs Omega and it was on a PIP break and then they didn't mention it once they came back lmao

NJ has had consistent bad and lazy booking for like...5 years, though.

Yeah it's pretty good. Has a lot more energy than Choshu tags had had in quite a while up to that point. As for Killer Khan, the next match is Road Warriors vs Takano/Machine but LOD attacks and bloodies Takano before the match, so Khan comes back out and replaces him in his street gear. After that match, a long post match brawl happens and eventually Choshu comes out to not really do anything but hold a bloodied up Khan in the corner while LOD continues to beat up young boys and officials. Khan then turns on Choshu and double teams him with Super Strong Machine and unofficially joins the Calgary Hurricanes for the next 3 months before forming a team with Terry Gordy for the last quarter of the year and then going to the WWF.

El Rey was pretty cool at first but in the last year it seemed like they'd just air Air Wolf for 15 hours a day and then From Dusk Til Dawn the series in prime time and maybe a LU rerun or ultra cheap kung fu movie before going into infomercials.

Riki Choshu spends 80% of his time in matches in half a scorpion or adjusting his hair

I have it as recommended, but not highly

Counter point just for the sake of arguing: Nothing gets ratings on these tiny ass channels, regardless of content. El Rey had to shut down entirely because they had so few viewers for the entire network.

Rusher from time to time is involved in some really good matches but most of the time he's just kind of there 3/28/76 Rusher Kimura vs. Jumbo Tsuruta UN Heavyweight Title reactivated after closure of JWA in 1973, part of IWE vs AJPW show Highly Recommended It seems to me he has about 3 pretty strong performances a year and the rest he's just a guy filling the card
