I'd probably say below Gordy/Hansen at least, off the top of my head. Hansen had a lot of tag partners though.

It's hard to compare anything in modern puro with what came before. Bad Intentions isn't really a draw, but then no tag team is anymore. They aren't busting out MOTYCs, but they aren't put in a position to.

Maybe. I'm down on NJ and NOAH heavyweights as a whole so it's hard to tell whether it's the opponents or them. I didn't see the tag vs Kojima & Maff, which was supposedly far superior to their other tags on the NJ Invasion tour.

That site is awesome, thank you. However, I think something got lost in translation with that article, because

quote:

Mick Foley is younger than me, and he wrestled against me many times as Cactus Jack, in IWA-Japan about 15 years ago. He is a great wrestler.

I'm guessing Kikutaro isn't 47 years old.

Kikutaro is one of the best comedy wrestlers of all time. Hell, he might be THE best. I also loved his ROH match against Necro Butcher. "You're making me wrestle HIM?

Kana has had the same "Man groping Kana" match three or four times, but I think Kikutaro did it first.

Wikipedia might not be the best source when it comes to Japanese wrestling, but he's listed as 34 there, as well as on the Japanese Wikipedia.

Also, Kikutaro has done several matches similar to the one he did with Kana. Any time he's in a match with a female wrestler he does that.

I loved what he did in the New Year's Indy Bash recently. He just carried around a flip camera and recorded the whole thing in-ring, occasionally stomping someone that was down and filming Dino grabbing someone's crotch.

I think it's more Kana wanting dudes to do that spot, than Kikutaro constantly groping girls.

Nothing beats the Shirai Sisters/Kenny Omega & Michael Nakazawa from last summer though. By the end of the match Mio lost her top, Io lost her pants, Kenny lost everything but his underwear and one sock and Nakazawa was buttass naked.

I guess Nakazawa being buttass naked isn't a surprise to anyone though. He seems to alternate shows with Dino.

HUSTLE is a lot like Raw: some good, lots and lots of filler and crap. But sometimes the crap is good. It depends in part on 'when' the shows were. Circa 2005-2007 is good. 2008-2009, not so much.

edit: Kikutaro *has* been around a while, but I don't think he was ever in FMW as Wikipedia claims. Definitely not older than Foley like he says in the interview, I'm sure that's a mistranslation.

I think the best/funniest instance of that for me was during the his match with Ebekkosan (Ayako Hamada) against Momoe Nakanishi and Kuishinbo Kamen on Momoe's retirement show because it resulted in Takayama coming out and booting him in the face.

I looked through the most complete FMW result site and his birth name doesn't pop. He wasn't Kikutaro or Ebessan on the hardcore circuit. Also, the best puro profile site only has W*ING mentioned. So I'm leaning towards W*ING.

The earliest cagematch entries for him are from IWA in 1996 and a bunch of those matches were indeed against Foley.

One year it was a masked indy nobody. This past NYE the object of his affection was one of the few openly gay Japanese wrestlers (Shinobu). Both were prolonged and, um, quite a bit more explicit than normal... maybe he figures he can shove his hand down a guy's tights if it's after midnight?

Dino is like kevin steen and Giant Tiger. He isnt gay but does stuff to entertain. Thdre are a few gays on the DDT Pro roster but none of them openly gay

If gou thought the New Year's stuff was gay, MEN's Teoih's "Men's Club" is going to blow your mind. Or load, if youre into it for that
