I think Angle can take time off ala Michaels, heck maybe less time, and be fine. Bret will never be able to return, Dynamite after a certain point was the same and he was going at like 20% by the end.

Angle needs career ending fusion surgery.

Hey Ditch, could you do something about the links to your archives on Inside Pulse? I'd like to read your old stuff without having to go through all the other columns. Great work, by the way. I'm not usually one to read online wrestling columns, but I've found your writing to be really entertaining and interesting.

Mighty Agrippa posted:What's Kenta's Touch the Sky? It's his flying leap punch after running into and back off of the ropes as his opponent is on his tag partner's shoulders with a comedown like the doomsday device (ie, victim flips over backwards off the partner's shoulders). Also has been done with the opponent on the top turnbuckle I believe. Image (couldn't find video) will probably help you understand that jumble of letters:

I think the NOAH booking board (with Akiyama helming it now, it seems) already has long-term plans nicely laid out for the young stars to truly rise up, wouldn't be surprised if they took some pointers from Baba's booking. I'm looking forward to the title defences, definitely. Marufuji has not dissapointed me this year so far. And it will be cool to see what kind of character Akiyama will develop after this. Ultra grumpy Akiyama, please!

They never cared about it being a 'recognized world title' like US indies do. At the same time, the tag titles and both junior titles have been defended overseas in the last two years, which is much more than any other Japanese promotion has done.

Ditch posted:http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/articles/50966 I think the biggest news about that match was that Marufuji was dishing out shiranuis and superkicks like they were his entire moveset for the second half of the match. In addition the "perfect inside cradle", due to the way the arm is locked, appears to make it impossible to have both of the opponent's shoulders on the ground in a proper pin so when the referee was counting the pin it looked like Akiyama's other side was in the air.

Maybe it's him shouting Viva la Raza while hitting a springboard frog splash, maybe it because how the announcer pronounces and always says his full name. I just can't qualify it. Seems at least solid in his perfomance even though this week was the first time I saw a match when he actually got a pin rather than being pinned.

Ditch posted:Enjoy some tunage: Generic Puro music causes nostalgia for childhood time spent playing F-Zero so it will always be far better. And Kobashi's themes are all great. On Marufuji with the GHC, what if they work his matches like the Kobashi one? If you keep him working over a bigger man's weak spot it keeps his usual offense from looking as weak and overcomes the size difference. Plus the Kobashi match was pure awesome so if he did more of that I'd be all for it.

Marufuji needs to find a way to add credibility to tricksy-ness. Just getting cheap wins after taking the 'easy route' to avoid getting killed doesn't come off well for a big Japan fed's champ.

So now that the GHC Tag Titles have been vacated, what do you fine upstanding folks all think will happen? And more importantly, will the new champs still have to ASK for title defenses?

PUT THE GOLD ON MORISHIMA. ALL OF IT. NOAH's tag division really needs a lot more love. There are plenty of unexploited pairings big enough to draw interest either as Budokan semi-mains or mid-size show mains. With Wild II, KENTA/Marufuji or KENTA/Shibata, Misawa/Ogawa, Taue/Sano, 'whoever the junior tag champs are' (Sugiura/Kanemaru at the moment), Takayama/X, Akiyama/X, etc, there's enough for a division with 4-6 title matches a year easy. They just need to be more willing to, you know, friggin' book it. WTF Kobashi & Akiyama?
