Grimmas

Who said anything about money? I said career longevity. Yes, money (and the more important part here, security) is part of that, but not all of it. It sure as hell beats prostituting himself in high school gyms for $50 a shot like a weathered old gigolo, which is probably what he's doing now. "The Wrestler," anyone? Sabu made his choice, he cared more about something else than money and career longevity. Who are you to tell him he made the wrong choice? Do you know if he's happy or not happy right now with his life?

I ended up not tweeting this, but this is my thoughts: I am really glad and love that you folks love NJPW as much as you do. However, if you tell me 6 different times in 2 years that you just saw the greatest match in history, I'm not going to believe you. People would have you believe this run of NJPW is the greatest run of any company in history. Even 90's AJPW they were not turning out the new greatest match ever 1-3 times a year.

Has Roger Ebert ever gave a movie 6 stars or 6 1/4 stars? Just curious. At this point Dave is just trolling.

I forgot to mention that. What a Joey Styles "OH MY GOD!" mind-blowing revelation. And how fucking dumb was Sabu for not embracing that. I get that he probably didn't want to "sell out" and "become a WWE cartoon" but he was getting up there in years. Sometimes you have to know when to make the transition from "badass" to "sports-entertainer." George "The Animal" Steel and The Bushwackers both did it, and it added years to their careers. If what Bruce said is true, then Sabu is a schmuck and a mark for himself. I never get this attitude? We are going to chastise everybody who doesn't do something they don't want to do, because they could had got money? Money isn't everything.

LA Park should be the front runner of Flair/Thesz WON Award if these two matches happen.

Full previews coming soonish. With fictitious histories, since AJW wasn't around in this universe.

Thanks for your kind feedback. It's now time to announce the whole card! Memorial First Gong: Japan vs The World June 28, 1986 in Tokyo, Japan Kourakaen Hall Will feature a one night eight person tournament to crown the first WWA Champion.

However, Gonzalez is the top star in Mexico. Lioness Asuka vs Sherri Martel w/ Bobby Heenan Asuka is one half of The Crush Girls and quite popular with the young girls of Japan. Martel is a member of the Horsemen and brings with her the best manager in wrestling and a will to win no matter what.

There will be two bonus matches. The Red Tyhpoons (Kazue Nagahori & Yumi Ogura) & Jumbo Hori vs Velvet Mcintyre, Debbie Combs, & Desiree Petersen Plus The Jumping Bomb Angels against The Glamour Girls in a match that could steal the show. If you can't be there in person, remember to tune into "World Wonder Ring" on Fuji TV to see the results play out over two weeks. After that, the full show will be released on video for you to rent from your local store!

Im glad they did the tribute it was great to see some japan Benoit matches. Pardon? You are glad they did a tribute to someone on the day they murdered their family, because you got to see some puro?

Oh shit... we do!

JR has found me a Knockouts Lookbox Challenge from TV and we will watch that. I hope it's the same one. Either way, I assume it would qualify!

Sherri Martel will not be coming to Tokyo alone. She is bringing with her the manager of Champions Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Heenan says the Horsemen collect titles and the WWA Title will be no different. The Crush Girls of Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagayo have entered the tournament as well. Two of the top talents in Japan, whether fighting together or alone. One more name revealed is Monster Ripper from Canada. The most powerful name yet in the tournament. Memorial First Gong June 28, 1986 in Tokyo, Japan Kourakean Hall Tournament to crown the first WWA Champion: Japan: Jaguar Yokota, Lioness Asuka, Chigusa Nagayo, and one more Canada: Monster Ripper America: Sherri Martel w/ Bobby "The Brain" Heenan Plus two more international stars Also featuring a tag match between The Glamour Girls and The Jumping Bomb Angels.

Business man Graham Stevens was touring Japan in 1985 and went to a local indie show where he saw Japanese women's wrestling for the first time. He was blown away by their skill and talent and knew that their talent needed to be shown to the world. A promotion relying on women was unthinkable, but Stevens dream was become a reality. Enter GAEA Wrestling, named after the Greek Goddess of the Earth. GAEA has found a TV deal on Fuji TV to air "World Wonder Ring" starting Wednesday, July 2nd. VHS video tapes of major shows will distributed both in Japan and in the United States, as GAEA will feature wrestlers from both countries. GAEA will make it's debut on June 28th at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo with the Memorial First Gong. That night will include a one night, eight women tournament to crown the WWA Champion (the World Wrestling Association will be the governing body of GAEA). This tournament will include 4 wrestlers from Japan and 4 wrestlers from around the world. The first two announced being Japan's Jaguar Yokota and America's Sherri Martel. More entrants will be announced later. Also on the show there will be a tag team battle between The Jumping Bomb Angels (Itsuki Yamazaki & Noriyo Tateno) and The Glamour Girls (Judy Martin & Leilani Kai). More exciting news will be released shortly!

I'll let you know if there is a blood feud coming. Roster, schedule, info coming soon. Probably going to start late June, so I can watch some of these women I haven't seen much of.

Let me know roster rules and I will put together a roster.

It's going to be in Japan, as a home base. Already talked to SirEdger about some talent. Just really a deal with you about Sherri, because I don't think there is anyone else I actually need. Sherri I only need for my debut show, at least for now, unless something comes up.

Women wrestlers active in 1986: North America: Luna Vachon Joyce Grable Debbie Combs Jeanne Kirkland Candice Pardue Lola Gonzalez Velvet McIntyre Candi Devine Wendi Richter Judy Martin Leilani Kai Sherri Martel Penny Mitchell Judy Martin Monster Ripper The Lock Sue Green Peggy Lee Leather Desiree Pettersen Susan Sexton Japan: Jaguar Yokota Lioness Asuka Chigusa Nagayo Dump Matsumoto Itsuki Yamazaki Noriyo Tateno Aja Kong Bison Kimura Akira Hokuto Yumiko Hotta Bull Nakano Condor Saito Devil Masami Crane Yu Mika Komatsu Ykari Omori Yumi Ogura Kazue Nagahori Jumbo Hori Shinobu Kandori there may be more, but that is the stand outs.

Here you go! https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/wbt9 The Golden Grahams are here to talk the Extreme Elimination Chamber, as requested by Steve J. Rogers at prowrestlingonly.com. We can talk about your match by requesting it there, or @StevenGrahamTWS on twitter. A match that sunk a brand, we talk about the match plus CM Punk, TNA history, politics, and we have a power outage. This show is a clusterfuck, just like this match?

Would love to see that Jesse.

Are any women being used? Bomb Angels? Judy Martin? Sherri? What would I be looking at?

Those does not seem like demands Bryan would have.

Any chance you folks want a women's promotion running? I was going to do an other booking thing, but Gordi said I should return here instead.

I always wanted a MITB winner to earn a title shot on their own, so they could have a ppv headlined by the MITB essentially getting two shots in one night.

Same issue here.

Nope. It actually happened, what do you nope? Do you mean you weren't, because you are not all people?

I saw it was confirmed live.
