All Japan Excite Series #15


Recommended Posts

I'd be interested in hearing you guys take on NOAH stuff. The level of quality isn't as consistently high, but that's offset by there being a wider variety of guys in the mix. Would be cool to hear your thoughts on guys like Honda, Takayama, main eventer Ogawa, heel Akiyama as champion, etc...

Yeah, early NOAH has a lot of fun stuff (I should know since I'm working my way through it right now), but way less superlative stuff. A lot of the fun for me is seeing the All Japan guys transported out of that ultra-dry environment and into something with more flash and more creative, less Pure Sports-style booking. It's pretty jarring at first to see, for example, Akiyama playing a much more classic pro wrestling heel than you would've ever seen in 90s All Japan.
