Kronos Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Sez you. I like Hansen crushing puny humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 And I respect that. Here he is crushing entire style of pro wrestling. That is pretty impressive when you think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Baba had to have known when he brought the R&Rs in that there was no way Hansen was going to sell for them. He should've just brought in Morton and had him team with Jumbo or Tenryu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkookypunk43 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm gonna catch up on the stuff I need to watch, meanwhile if you had me I'll send you here Kenta Kobashi vs Takao Omori https://youtu.be/TRGaunXSSkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkookypunk43 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Astro Boy, that was a good match between Scorpio and Necro. I liked that they worked more of a Scorpio paced match and the fact that Necro could grapple with him. This was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Just wanna give a heads-up that I'll skip this week since I got a truckload of work ahead of me. I'll try to still review the match that was given to me last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'll have my review up this week, but I'll be traveling a ton next week and should probably skip this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 For you, SPS, I picked Kazuo Yamazaki vs Norman Smiley from the UWF (11/06/1988) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojVKp88T_Yc Finallt got my review up a day late, http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/41119-kazuo-yamazaki-vs-norman-smiley-uwf-061188/ here were my thoughts overall, "Overall a good but not great match from the early part of Newborn UWF. Norman was obviously not experienced in this style but made an effort to use his english pro wrestling style as realistically as possible and the crowd really seemed into him as they popped quite a bit for his offence. I'd give this match *** and it's a good match that's not too long by Newborn UWF standards so it's a solid way for a wrestling fan familiar with the likes of a Norman Smiley but not with UWF to get their feet wet and check out the style and work from that group." Thanks again to SirEdger and I look forward to the next one. Overall a good but not great match from the early part of Newborn UWF. Norman was obviously not experienced in this style but made an effort to use his english pro wrestling style as realistically as possible and the crowd really seemed into him as they popped quite a bit for his offence. I'd give this match *** and it's a good match that's not too long by Newborn UWF standards so it's a solid way for a wrestling fan familiar with the likes of a Norman Smiley but not with UWF to get their feet wet and check out the style and work form that group.

Richeyedwards Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 For Matt d I have decided to go with a match from noah last year between marufuji and kaito kiyomiya a big hope for Noah's future and at the time of this match just 1 year into his career. It is a match between the older ace at the end of his tenure as top guy and a young boy. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/36925-naomichi-marufuji-vs-kaito-kiyomiya-noah-012117/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=At9B4o4E0jQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Far out of my wheelhouse. Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks. You haven't been with us all that long, so I only have some sense of what you've seen and what you haven't, so here's something from my wheelhouse, but set in Japan. It's slightly JIP after the entrances, but you only lose two minutes.

Your match is -- Terry Funk vs. Virgil, NWC 10/7/95 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8shykrinpoY&t=1006s Very few things excite me more in wrestling than watching Terry Funk in something I've never seen before, so thank you for this. That was a wild brawl and fun ass fuck to watch.

NintendoLogic Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 My match assignment from southofheavy was Masahiro Chono and Sabu vs. Tatsumi Fujinami and Junji Hirata in a SUPERHARD SYNDROME match from the 1/4/95 Dome show. We get off to a hot start with a Pearl Harbor job from SabCho, and Sabu hits a nice crossbody off a chair on the entrance ramp. Things settle down after Sabu accidentally dropkicks Chono. I enjoyed Chono and Hirata being dicks to each other (I especially liked Hirata putting Chono in the STF). But Sabu was mostly useless and looked lost whenever he didn't have a chair at his disposal, although I did get a kick out of Fujinami showing absolutely no respect for his offense. There was a spot near the end when Sabu legdropped Hirata through a table (or tried to at least-damn those unbreakable Japanese tables) only for Hirata to get up like nothing had happened. I don't know if he was supposed to roll out of the way and mistimed it or just felt like no-selling, but it was pretty funny. SabCho picks up with win with a chairshot followed by a Yakuza Kick. Pretty middling overall. Still, good on Sabu for getting a Tokyo Dome payday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Alright for dawho5 since from a quick browse of his profile seems to have seen a bit of everything, I have chosen a match I really enjoyed just for the novelty of seeing it in their WWF years of Bret Hart vs Dynamite Kid from 09/14/85, it was on one of Bret's DVD releases a few years back. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31v8pq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've just been hit with a big project at work, and I better step aside from the game for now. Matt D, I think you have an extra person? They can take my spot. Rah and I have not exchanged matches yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 southofheavy, you know your schedule. If you want to pair with Rah, great. If not, I'll double up gladly. Let us know. If we don't hear by tomorrow morning, I'll pair with Rah too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(With all of two data points), I much prefer old Marufuji to young Marufuji and Kiyomiya feels like someone to watch (not that I actually watch anyone from NOAH, but hey, maybe I should). Thanks for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
