  1. I enjoyed the show. I can see people having a problem with the choices being limited to the roundtable but it's happened with other year in review shows I've also heard. It's based on preferences. But one thing you can't deny is that 2015 was a really good year in wrestling. Also, Steven - Where did you get that music? It's fascinating to me. It's Japanese R&B can't put what subsection of it is.
  2. She's been the one Joshi wrestler that I've dived into deep since I started going back and finding as much older Joshi as I can. OJ is the best guy to talk to in terms of promos since he lives in Japan. But from what I've seen of her, she's a heel to the AJW roster when she comes back from Mexico in 92 but stands up for them against the outside women. She beats up Yamada before and after the Finals of the Fuji TV tournament against Aja and Bull but tags with Bull when they go face Combat and Kudo at the FMW show. She's a dick to Mima Shimoda when they win the 3WA tag titles by taking both belts. So it goes like that from what I see. And I haven't seen a match with Kansai either.
  3. I've seen this thing about AJ going back to his TNA days when they used the NWA World Championship. Hell, the first time I saw him on those weekly PPVs all I kept thinking about was "Who is this little guy with the NWA World Title?" But it all goes away after you watch him and the casuals will get over it as soon as they see him on Raw. The guy carries himself as a star. People forget about Daniel Bryan when he debuted that he looked small but once he gained weight and grew the hair, he was fine. AJ having long hair helps him cause if he had the same look as he did in 2005, then he's small.
  4. I feel the same way about Chi Town Rumble. You can sit someone down who is a new to wrestling and it will give the viewer everything they wanted to know about Steamboat vs Flair in a concise time. With the two others, I ranked Wrestlewar above the Clash. The Wrestlewar match gives a sense of desperation for both guys that I didn't feel in the Clash match given you add the judges at ringside (I know they were meaninglessness at the end but it helped build up the match). Clash was the best worked match but the poll asked for favorites so I went with my favs.
  5. Watching the stuff on the Network made realize they were a good team. Plus it inspired my avi. Jesse Ventura having the balls to wear a Malcolm X hat in THAT promotion will always stick with me.
  6. It was more 50/50. I went through the Ring of Hell Thread a couple of months ago cause I read some chapters of it during a weekend and it was back and forth on what was truth and fiction. I voted no btw.
  7. When and where did this happen?This happened in 1995 on one of those local indy Feds in the 90s that got TV. The historians on the board would much more than I would about it. I've heard about in the past but last year was the first time I saw it. http://youtu.be/kyXn24iAVYY
  8. Jim Neidhart dressing up as a Klansmen and beating up Virgil. No matter if you like or dislike Virgil, any person who is flicking the channel would automatically think a KKK member is beating up a black man in a wrestling ring.
  9. Just looked through her blog yesterday for an update and it looks like Hokuto is in good spirits but she is completely bald now. If you look through the pictures of her blog, she posts selfies of her bald but most of the time she wears a beanie. http://s.ameblo.jp/hokuto-akira/ Her announcement had to be huge announcement because I saw that the press conference she had with Kensuke is over a million views on YouTube.
  10. And this list was great for me since Modern Joshi has been another blind spot for me. I haven't gotten through all of the Joshi matches on this list but I've been entertained by most of them and your reviews have helped a lot. Hope you saw Meiko vs Io Shirai World of Stardom Match cause that was really good stuff.
  11. The matches do change on house shows but they do mirror a lot of the stuff that make TV afterwards. Just seeing fan cams of stuff like Owens vs Ambrose with Ambrose jumping over him to counter the power bomb or Cody Rhodes doing the moonsault off the cage against the Real Americans and then doing it on Raw weeks or months later (those are examples that come to my mind but there are others). Guy develop chemistry and you start it on the small shows and adjust for TV. I'm not asking for them to do silly spots that I've seen on fan cams but at least they can do have some single matches on the house shows before they do a 15 minute match on Raw.
  12. That is a valid point about them getting to practice at the Performance Center. However, you would think that house shows would compensate for the lack of time, right? For the most part, these two get put in tag matches or multi man matches for the house shows. Whereas the top guys and even the midcard guys get a decent amount of singles matches on house shows and get feedback from the agents on the road.
  13. I said this another forum but I will say it here also. So according to Cagematch, the Raw Becky vs Sasha match went 15:40 which went longer than the main event and the semi main tag match only went a minute longer. I want to know who gave them the green light to have that long of a match. I'm biased because I am a Sasha and Becky fan but I didn't think the match was boring. It had its fair share amount of awkward and clunky moments but I didn't think it was boring. It was in the ** range but they pulled out new spots and sequences for TV. That said, I'm baffled that they got 15 minutes with no build and no future implications storyline wise. They had to know the crowd would've turned on the match.
  14. David Falcon's website might help you out. http://falconjoshi.blogspot.com I read that Kimber Lee vs Sonya Strong from the latest House of Glory was good but I don't know when HOG releases shows. Maybe some other Stardom USA matches cause I only saw you review one match from the tour.
  15. With Breaking Ground looking oily and out of focus, the footage looks like it was shot at a certain frame rate and they made the show in a different frame rate. They probably shot some of the stuff at 24 fps and they edited the show at 29fps.
  16. Would love to hear that show. I'm biased towards Liger (hence my name). My personal goal is to look at his Mexico stuff before this thing is over because he liked working the style.
  17. Yes you're right it being a year. The most logical thing coming out of Mania was thinking Reigns would chase him over the summer but that didn't happen.
  18. I will echo what a lot people have said before: if the Rollins cash in doesn't happen, Brock vs Roman is a better match. With Sasha vs Bayley, it was completed storytelling. Beginning, middle and end. We even got the rematch out of it. Can't say that about Brock vs Roman and I'm losing faith that WWE won't make that match again even though they should immediately. In the moment it got good shock value but it feels more like a swerve just to do a swerve.
  19. I'm pissed cause I just watched some it yesterday.
  20. I'm praying for you to get through this. My grandfather had cancer twice and he's still here. You just have to fight and I have confidence that you will win.
  21. They were doing that with the Florida footage that saw during the Flair vs Dusty Rivalries Show. I was highly disappointed when I saw that they ripped the Mid Atlantic films from YouTube for the Flair vs Steamboat episode. They should just pony up with the money get those reels Cornette has cause those films holds up lot better than than regular broadcast footage. It takes longer to digitalize with those reels but it's worth it cause tapes deteriorate.
  22. Finally joined Twitter and my handle is @TheJML_
  23. This does come off as dismissive and that Dave is too much in the wrestling bubble. I bet Honma's alleged Yakuza ties were not brought up either.
  24. Does anyone have a transcription of what Dave said? I'm not a subscriber so I don't know how he said it. I'm not defending him at all cause he's messed up before with him justifying the n word as a wrestling term.
