Oasis is kind of a representation for a lot of 90s alternative rock that should be going in and isn't, especially when they fall all over themselves to induct any 70s hard rock band they can. But yeah, as a hall of fame it's a joke. I like the actual museum aspect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted May 10, 2024 Report Share Posted May 10, 2024 I recently saw a cool picture that had Sid about to powerbomb Davey Boy Smith and at the same time, Owen was trying to counter with a sunset flip. Does anyone know what match this pic came from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cad Posted May 11, 2024 Report Share Posted May 11, 2024 Sounds like the finish of their match at King of the Ring 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmare007 Posted August 8, 2024 Report Share Posted August 8, 2024 @Matt D I'm fairly certain Danielson read your review of his match with Ospreay and had this to say about it (32:34 mark if the link doesn't start there).

Ricky Jackson Posted August 14, 2024 Report Share Posted August 14, 2024 Yeah, I'm pretty hyped for that. I've finally dipped into classic Joshi the last few months and absolutely love the wild 80s brawls with Dump, Bull and co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohtani's jacket Posted August 16, 2024 Report Share Posted August 16, 2024 On 3/18/2024 at 9:47 AM, ohtani's jacket said: @Matt D I don't know where else to put this, but I checked out your new 70s Joshi on Wednesday series and it says Mach Fumiake was a mainstream star when she joined All Japan Women. I don't believe that was the case. She did reach the final of the Star is Born talent show, but she wasn't scouted by any of the agencies. She didn't fit the image of what the agencies were looking for in an idol at the time. Momoe Yamaguchi, the second place winner at the same contest, went on to become one of the biggest J Pop stars of the 70s and was exactly the type of girl the scouts were looking for. After she failed to be scouted, she initially gave up on her singing dream and focused on sports instead. It wasn't until two years later when her older sister found an AJW recruitment ad in a magazine and encouraged her to try out. As far as I'm aware, she had just been living an ordinary Japanese junior high school life prior to becoming a wrestler. Her stardom came from becoming a popular pro-wrestler. I could be wrong, but that's the info I have. FWIW, I watched Bull Nakano interview Mach Fumiake and Mach confirmed all of the above. I'm hoping Bull interviews some more of these 70s wrestlers. She did one with Mariko Akagi that was quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strobogo Posted August 24, 2024 Report Share Posted August 24, 2024 Japan truly wild as fuck to have 80+ Dory Funk Jr. who has looked 80+ for 35 years and stage four cancer patient Osamu Nishimura in an exploding barbed wire death match in 2024, AND it was the longest match on the card.

strobogo Posted August 24, 2024 Report Share Posted August 24, 2024 Somewhat related, is the Ricky Steamboat final match in 2022 with FTR available online at all? Or anything from that card? Surely it was an IPPV that has to exist somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted August 30, 2024 Report Share Posted August 30, 2024 Going to live wrestling for the first time in eight years to see Virus and Hechicero tag. I would not have guessed 8 years ago that my next show would have been a New Japan one. Weirdly, TMDK will have been on both shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted September 4, 2024 Report Share Posted September 4, 2024 I'd really like to be able to give both TNA and NXT a shot these days but: 1. Hate the announce teams for both shows. Just constant yelling and noise. 2. TNA's production for in ring stuff is so much lower rent than the vignettes and stuff they do. They can't even get straight cables for the ropes like it is 1983 NWA shows. 3. NXT seems like New Generation era shit in front of an even smaller ECW arena crowd but in like...neon and zoomers. Related to production, god damn across all shows in WWE I've never seen such weak ass strikes and very blatantly missed punches and kicks. Maybe Dunn going with his shitty super cuts and zooms shit was because no one in WWE can throw a decent punch or kick. When stuff looks that bad on TV, hard to imagine how bad it looks to the live audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted September 4, 2024 Report Share Posted September 4, 2024 Worked punches seem to be a lost art across the board. I can't think of anyone who's debuted in the past few years who does them well. Also, selling for them is half the equation, and no one seems to know how to do that anymore either. I saw an interview a while back where someone said the rash of black eyes and bloody lips and the like in WWE was due to a Vince McMahon directive for wrestlers to cover up when someone throws a punch, which leads to people laying it in more than they would otherwise and accidents from having a smaller target. Look at how Bob Cook's opponents sell for him. You can't sell a punch properly when you're covering up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a--c63oWxic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted September 4, 2024 Report Share Posted September 4, 2024 I remember when Jarrett came back to have a mini feud with Elias and EVERYONE on the timeline was gushing about how fucking awesome his punches were. Mind, I don't even think he's in the top tier in that regard, but still he's way above the average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
