Did anything actually happen that lead to them breaking up, or was it just both guys moving on?

They moved on as much as anything. I'd say the big turning point was Marufuji winning the GHC title. I'm thinking the last time they teamed was May '08 vs Kobashi & Kikuchi, and they weren't doing much together between there and going back to vs the Briscoes in ROH.

That makes me sad. I was hoping in the whole NOAH/NJPW thing we'd see them in a match on the same team.

Yeah, Joe ruled it. Clip Collections Not sure how many of you only look at what I post here and don't really visit the sites. There's lots of material I come across that's good but is either a) One spot/moment b) A sequence c) A good finish d) Something that isn't part of a match So I decided to post .rar files of short and short-ish clips. Here's the first of each, and if you want more go to the bottom of this page: http://theditch.us/misc.html I'll be posting a new one tomorrow! Clip collection 1 http://theditch.us/puroset1.rar This is really short, mostly just bumps and spots. The first one has a lot of things I culled from the 'net but later ones are almost entirely from my own caps. Big clip collection 1 http://theditch.us/bigstuff1.rar Stuff that's more in the 30-60 second range, mostly sequences. Match finishes collection 1 http://theditch.us/finishes1.rar When the last 1-5 minutes are great and the rest is forgettable, it goes here. Dick Togo vs Great Sasuke! Sawa and Takayama throwing punches to the face! And needle thingies to the forehead in Big Japan

Awesome idea! Everybody should download those and watch all of them. But everybody especially should download the first one and watch baskick, superj947 and, uh, the aptly-named takadawtf. (Should point out that I couldn't get gansobomb, kobashi or td91 to play.)

Because I started reading it a few weeks ago and have been very impressed by what I've read, particularly the archived post you referenced a bit ago where you predicted NOAH's downfall pretty much to the date. You and Meltzer are the only two opinions on Japan that I respect. Sadly I haven't had a chance to watch all the Destroyer stuff yet. Here's to hoping I find the time this weekend.

By sites I mean theditch.biz, .com and .us, where I've updated one of them daily for years. If VLC player won't play something, try downloading Media Player Classic, which is good with .wmv, .asf, .ram and .rm files.

I gotta think it's their June 1995 title match. They didn't wrestle very many times. It isn't from the '94 dome show, and I doubt very much it's from the March '95 title match, and I think that's it for the period when Toyota wasn't in her skinny young phase.

Andre versus...? Andre vs ???, New Japan June 1st 1979 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C4MYERFO It's supposed to be Andre vs Fujinami, but that changes and we get A Suitable Replacement. 1979 Andre is really awesome. I mean if you can even stand to watch Andre vs Hogan from WM3, you'll love this.

Ditch posted:Andre versus...? Downloading now, super excited! Unrelated, but why in the hell did Hiroshi Hase only get one IWGP title shot ever? He was over, he was great in the ring, and during his match he got the crowd 100% behind him against golden boy Hashimoto. He should have at least gotten more shots, let alone the title itself.

Hase had the misfortune of being the #4 man in his generation group, and #5 by the time Choshu started pushing Sasaki. When you need to give title shots to the Musketeers, Choshu, Fujinami, outside wrestlers and gaijin every year, Hase tended to be left behind. Plus he didn't get many big singles wins. By '95 he was on the outs. tzirean posted:EDIT: Oh, my. How have I missed this one? ----------------- G-1 participants: 1. Togi Makabe 2. Hiroshi Tanahashi 3. Hirooki Goto 4. Manabu Nakanishi 5.

Dragon Gate had their annual biggest-show-of-the-year at Kobe. Top two results: Shingo beat Hulk in a hair vs hair match Yoshino beat Yamato for the title, in what I'd consider a semi-big upset

The Abby match from the DG PPV has one of his opponents coming to the ring in a wheelchair and Abby still looks like the least mobile guy in the ring.

G-1 schedule was announced. Block A: - Togi Makabe - Hiroshi Tanahashi - Manabu Nakanishi - Karl Anderson* - Toru Yano - Tetsuya Naito - Naomichi Marufuji - Strong Man* Block B: - Hirooki Goto - Yuji Nagata - Wataru Inoue* - Giant Bernard* - Shinsuke Nakamura - Yujiro Takahashi - Go Shiozaki - Satoshi Kojima I put a * next to people who aren't wrestling round-robin matches on the last day and thus have no chance of being in the final. Final is on the same day as the last round robin matches.

It was kinda... eh... back in 2003. Makabe vs Tanahashi on the last day should decide block A. Nakamura vs Shiozaki seems likely to decide B, though Kojima vs Goto could as well.

If Nakamura loses vs Makabe, I doubt he'd be in the final. I'm thinking Tanahashi vs Shiozaki 3 as the final.

I would love to see Kojima vs. Tanahashi in the finals. It sounds really intriguing to me, and Kojima hitting a lariat on Tanahashi's injured jaw would probably rule.

I just can't get over the fact that he's a former strongman competitor, so his ring name is STRONG MAN. That's so genius and awful at the same time.
