JerryvonKramer Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think it was me who nominated him. I mainly just wanted a comment from our resident WoS expert OJ. I saw one match where I thought his character work stood out, even if he wasn't the greatest worker. Kendo Nagasaki is one guy -- other than Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks etc. -- that your average non-wrestling British person over a certain age might know. A bit like how those younger than a certain age might know the Undertaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think Nagasaki's a decent worker both on the mat and as a brawler. His matches in the 70s got a tremendous amount of heat and he had an awesome finisher. But there's guys who haven''t been nominated whom I think are better.

GSR Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 With the likes of Breaks, Cortez, Grey, Jones I could reel off a handful of matches that I would recommend should people want to get into WOS and give these guys a look. Whilst not as extensive, I could do it to a lesser degree with Saint, Haward, Sarjeant and Boscik. I wouldn't know where to start with Nagasaki and can't recall one match I've thought was good.

ohtani's jacket Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I liked his mid-to-late 70s stuff that was on TWC. Both of his bouts against Pete Roberts are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowtobeaMark Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 Just attended Kendo Nagasaki's coming out of retirement/retirement/breaking Guinness World Record match at Croydon Fairfield Halls. I cannot say the match added to his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El McKell Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 I dunno how legit that world record is. I think it’s pretty likely some grimey indie lucha shows have had an older masked wrestler working them. I don’t know for sure but neither do the Guinness record people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowtobeaMark Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 As far as I am aware an adjudicator from Guinness has to witness the record for it to count. Nothing I could see indicated that anyone from Guinness was in attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know for sure but neither do the Guinness record people Is the record supposed to be that he was the oldest wrestler to have a match? If you don't count Mae Young's last "matches", Dory Funk Jr. has Nagasaki beat by a couple of months and I am sure Kojika will surpass both in 2025 or 2026. Also who knows how old Gypsy Joe really was when he had his last match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
