Sure, but Fujiwara and rarely if anyone worked the schedule Ric worked, so that's not really a fair comparison...

This was OK at best. It's Otani coming in as an invading vet. from ZERO-ONE to take on a young inexperienced homegrown Sekimoto. Otani is pretty fantastic at bullying the young punk around, but that's about it for me. The finish felt rather abrupt to me, also.

[1998-02-03-BJW-Indy Hyper J Tournament] Yoshihiro Taijiri vs Gedo
Edwin replied to Loss's topic in February 1998
This seems overly critical and the bolded part in particular is the exact opposite of what I'd expect to read. I'd expect this deal would be more appreciated and less criticized. While I don't buy this as a MOTYC or anything, I think this is really good. Tajiri's selling and Gedo's armwork are quite excellent and it's refreshing to see Jr.'s work this style instead of going balls to the wall. -
[1998-02-03-BJW-Indy Hyper J Tournament] Yoshihiro Taijiri vs Minoru Tanaka
Edwin replied to Loss's topic in February 1998
This pretty much summarizes what this is, so this isn't really anything mind blowing that you should go out of your way to see. -
Not from the 90's, but there was a sleazy indy in the mid 2000's called STYLE-E. If I recall correctly, a lot of the guys were Kiyoshi Tamura trainees. They ran shows at a really small venue and a lot of the guys were U-STYLE workers who would face pro-wres indy guys. Ken Ohka from DDT and Union was a big invading heel there along with Masa Takanashi and Takahiro Abe from DDT when he was just a rookie and Isami Kodaka when he was just isami from Union. Kazuhiro Tamura was their ace for some time and that's where Masashi Takeda, who went on to become a death match worker, got his start from. Kyosuke Sasaki from U-STYLE was one of their open weight champs.

I hadn't seen this in about 7-8 years and I just re-watched it and its still pretty great. I’ve been a big Masao Orihara fan since I first saw him tear up Gosaku Goshogawara in FMW as Gekkou in the 90’s. Here he puts on an amazing show. He usually works as a bully Jr. heel in Japanese indies, but here he works entirely different as he mostly takes a pretty nasty beating from Takeru. Takeru drops him with some pretty nasty powerbombs and suplexes and gets busted up pretty badly in the first couple of minutes. This is honestly the Orihara show with Takeru just coming along for the ride even though he more than holds his own. Really good match.

Keep Styles, Nakamura and Bryan on SDL and bring over the Miz and make Styles and Bryan vs. Nakamura and Miz.

This. That promo was great. She has been fantastic tonight.

Breaking up the New Day will be problematic as they will find a way to bury Big E instead of giving a big singles push ala Rusev. However, keeping them together and just pushing Big E would be perfect. They also make them ton of cash in merch. sale, so I'm sure they won't be breaking them up anytime soon.

How are the SDL ratings doing? If they're struggling and the RAW ratings are on the up or at least doing better than the SDL ratings, I can see them keeping Bryan around to boost them up. If Bryan goes to RAW, who comes to SDL? Reigns?
-
MOTYC on paper right there.
-
What is your opinion of Zack Sabre Jr. and Marty Scurll? That will tell us if your posts are worth paying attention to. J/k. Stick around and don't take it so seriously.

https://twitter.com/ALL_IN_2018/status/983476155838853120 Okada will be on this show.
-
Pretty sure I mentioned in the WrestleMania Weekend thread -- I went to a ton of shows last year and the ROH show was by far the worse, so you're not alone.
-
That leaked script was legit. They got every detail down. This has been a great show, by the way. The best RAW I've seen in a long while.
-
Yep.
-
"Two sweet woop woop."
-
So the Miz to SDL to continue the DBryan feud and KO and Sami to RAW as they lost their jobs on SDL?
-
NWJ coming up... Sigh...
-
Yikes, that wasn't good for Alexa. She drops the title to Nia and then eats the fall clean against Ember in her debut... While MICKIE JAMES was right there.
-
I'm PWO's sole Ember Moon supporter, I think. I approve.
-
I saw a ton of his early PROGRESS matches and they were pretty forgettable.
-
lmao @ Ronda truly being an inspiration to little girls. I fully support Ronda using the armbar as a finisher and the flying armbar as her big match finisher though.
-
If Marty Scurll wasn't a Bullet Club, no one would talk about him.
