Wazzu posted:I don't like the move, I think it looks like rear end, but it's a pin that does no damage to the opponent, you need to win with it occasionally so you don't look retarded. Have you realized that some pinning moves aren't exactly used to damage but rather trap an opponent

Kotaro Suzuki out for ~6 months with ACL/MCL damage. Kobashi out for an unknown time with a lumbar sprain. Akiyama likely to retire this year due to back and elbow injuries plus an unknown emotional trauma

If Marufuji needed to use a flash pin, why not use THE PERFECT INSIDE CRADLE! It is perfect!

Sayama having two students do tiger gimmicks isn't THAT bad. I mean there's what, four or five ants in CHIKARA.

I suppose I can live with Black Shadow, Tiger Shark, Super Tiger II and First Tiger Mask all on the same card. I was just disorienting because I'd see the mask and automatically assume its Tiger Mask. before anyone asks: RJPW "REVIVAL", 10.12.2009 The opening match features two new and very unassuming looking guys beating the absolute piss out of each other. IIRC the finish was a kick to the mouth.

Are 3D even popular in Japan? What's up with their markish desire to never be pinned there.

Can you guys suggest some Osamu Nishimura matches? I was watching Fujinami & Nishimura vs Shiazaki & Misawa from 2007 and enjoyed Nishimura's work in that match. Anything I should check out (preferably when he was in his prime)?

After watch round two of the J-Cup I need to ask, who was that commentator who threw a punch at Dino? Also was it me or did that Slice Bread(forgive I no not the Japanese name) and the Australian Suplex spot look like it was more two botches in a row?

-Nishimura: vs Takayama, G-1 2002; vs Akiyama, G-1 2003; vs Minoru Suzuki, 1/4/04; vs Fujinami, September 2006 -The announcer was Kotesu Yamamoto, ex-wrestler who does a lot of work with the New Japan dojo. Kobashi is off the next tour after surgery to fix to nerve damage around an elbow that was effecting an arm/hand, but the surgery might not be enough to fix it. NOAH

It was a combo three-company event: Big Japan, DDT and Kaientai Dojo. It was those wrestlers, plus some of said wrestlers coming in under multiple gimmicks, plus some D-grade indy guys, and last but not least Tajiri.

Over at F4W they are posting scans from a lot of old Puro Mags. They've posted some really great ones. I am going to post them in this thread instead of the picture thread because hey. Here are several random scans throughout the entire thread.

"September 28, 1997 at Korakuen Hall, Hayabusa would team up with Mitsuharu Misawa for the first and only time of their careers in All Japan. They would face off against Jun Akiyama and Satoru Asako with Hayabusa getting the pinfall victory over Asako after hitting Asako with a Falcon Arrow and following it with a Fire Bird Splash. After the match, while all four of the wrestlers would show respect for one another, Akiyama would hesitate to shake Hayabusa's hand and when finally doing it, would not even look Hayabusa in the eyes and walk away immediately in a disrespect towards Hayabusa." I had no idea until I was prompted to look it up after seeing the scan. I don't think it was taped. There's a ton of K-Hall shows that weren't taped/aired from pre-split All Japan. Stuff like Misawa getting pinned by Patriot. Real shame. Also, that "GET" thing has to do with Kobashi's team with Ace and Patriot, after he split with Misawa but before Burning. And that's the context of Patriot pinning Misawa!
