    Just an awesome match. I loved the simple, basic NJ style. The story of veteran Riki fighting for a last piece of glory is perfect.

    That was cheesy as hell, but it was part of wrestling's charm. A thing that is lost today. Who the fuck came out with this idea though ? Windham was pretty out of shape, and he really didn't do anything worthwhile before getting into Blackjack mode. Yeah, I'm the only person who loved the New Blackjacks...

    This reminds me how much I used to adore RINGS. The most beautiful wrestling matches I've ever seen come from this promotion. Selling is not an important part of the style, I guess it takes some time to get used to it. It's really a different kind of wrestling, but it's wonderful when done by guys like Volk Han, Khosaka or Tamura.

    Flair was awesome during that time. Really the last time he was the great Ric Flair to me. In the ring he wasn't all that but as a whole, Flair in 96, until the nWo really took over, was awesome. An both women were just smoking. It's so tragic how they ended up dying...

    Woman looked ridiculously hot. Flair along Woman and Liz was so right on every level.

    Meanwhile, the Godwinns were feuding with the Smoking Gunns... No wonder why at the time Nitro seemed so major league compared to RAW.

    Self hatred. That's also why he hates wrestling as a whole I guess, because when you think of it, the best US wrestling comes from the South (Mid-South, Memphis, Crockett). No ?

    Good Hollywood Hogan match as far as I remember. He could be so much fun with a guy he had good chemistry with (as opposed to that godawful Giant match as Hogg Wild).

    One character was Russo ? Amazing, I never knew. Which one was he ?

    I loved the Model gimmick. Martel wasn't given very much opportunity to shine with it, but he also said in his shoot interview that although he loved the gimmick, his mind wasn't focused as much on wrestling at the time, as he was getting into real estate business. Lance Storm on WOL (and the context was, Lance was bitching about poorly written movies) : "Porn is like lucha, it doesn't need too make sense".

    Pro-wrestling as figure skating already exists. It's called ROH. Anyway, it's a stupid idea. I would guess Mike Oles would like it (yeah, I'm showing my age).

    The two things I remember about Kanako Motoya (or Kana Mizaki), is that she was a good matworker, and that was she hot as hell. JWP was such a great little promotion.

    I should have known.

    Schiavone and Jesse are my favourite WCW announcing pair. I never really felt he gelled with Bobby right from the get go, but it's a damn shame that Schiavone became so loathed during the Monday Night Wars. I love Schiavone/Jesse too. The problem is that Heenan really didn't care during the Monday Night War days, and it showed. Tony worked much better with Dusty or Jesse. Once he stopped caring and became cynical, Tony got bad, but it's stupid to remember him only for his last few years. At his best Tony was excellent.

    I was about to ask the same question. Very underrated worker, and no, he never got his dues, and never got the push he deserved in the US. What are you watching from Perez : Japan, PR, US ?
  16. El-P
    Tony Schiavone's last line is simply one of the best ever, and the delivery was perfect. Before he got disgusted with WCW, Schiavone, at his best, was a damn good wrestling announcer.

    Yes. She was quite good in the '93 interpromotional stuff I've seen. But she wasn't in any of the highest-profile bouts, and JWP is much much less watched than AJW. The few I've seen from Mighty Inoue from the late 80's early 90's was quite good. Talking about JWP, Commando Bolshoi is a damn good worker that was considered a dud because of the clown gimmick. But she's quite the trooper, and apparently was still a quality worker in the 00's from what I heard.

    This lawsuit craze is so retarded.

    Joshi has been pretty much forgotten as a whole. I never was under the impression Bull was underrated or anything. I always heard of Bull as being as great if not better than Aja. Ditto for Ozaki, who's been pimped nonstop for ever. I can see why people would not like Masami much because of her late SuperHeel antics, but anyone who's seen Devil even as late as the early 90's knows she was awesome, not to mention her 80's work. Kyoko and Kansai have been pimped as great workers forever too. Yagi is not exactly the lost 90's super worker, as she was always referred to as a great worker, it's just that people didn't pay attention. The last lost great worker of joshi puroresu was Naomi "The Bloody" Kato. No one watched Jd'. Really, as far as joshi worker go, Kandori fits the bill perfectly, she was way better than she was pimped to be in the late 90's when I got into puroresu (the opposite of Hotta). Cuty Suzuki was much better than she was ever given credit for. Asuka has been exposed years ago as a sometime spectacular (in a highspot sense) but formulaic, spotty and selfish worker. One day I'll watch joshi puroresu again. I guess.

    Holy shit, that's pretty heavy. Hopefully Saturn turned his life around for good now, but hearing how you can fall off the cliff so easily is pretty scary. Glad the man is alive and getting well.

    When did Vince take over Montreal from Dino ? Was that an important market as well ?
  22. El-P
    Superstar Billy Graham, JYD were pretty shitty workers.

    I think Gorilla called Carlos Colon a youngster too in the Rumble 93. Of all people, Gorilla screwing up with Colon's legacy ?

    The "guys with ridiculous names with no cool nickname" of the late 2000's is way more annoying. I miss wrestler's names being Greg "The Hammer" Valentine or "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

    Interesting observation.
