That's the one where they had a battle royal, but the goal was to strip everyone else completely naked.

Ridiculous.

Any Devitt match is a good one, but I really enjoyed the Apollo 55/Golden Lovers match

I have yet to enjoy a single Devitt match. Thankfully, most puro followers have plenty they can name as was just demonstrated. He tries hard but I'm more interested in strikes, hate and matwork than high-flying/athleticism.

I really liked the Tanahashi vs Goto match from last month, maybe it's because I haven't watched Goto in a while though. The new look works really well for him.

Not much.

quote:

Joe Malenko, 56, who worked the tag team tournament at the end of December after being out of Japan for more than a decade, looks to have had the final match of his career at the end of that tour against Osamu Nishimura. He told David Ditch in an interview that after a three-level discetomy in May (spinal surgery to remove a herniated disc), he isn’t saying he’s retired but anything he would come back to wrestling to do would have to be no impact, and there isn’t much no impact wrestling going around these days. Joe is the older brother of Dean Malenko and the two were a well-regarded tag team during a glory period of All Japan Pro Wrestling.

He can be slow. Email him.

As I always say, you get what you pay for. The bottom line is you get the discs eventually and on the cheap.

The dude has gotten a lot of business recently (at least from what I can ascertain from his sale being discussed on a lot of different message boards) so I imagine he's dealing with a large number of orders. He's reliable though so you just have to give him time as I think it's just a one man operation.

He's using the gimmick very rarely, I suspect because 4 is still using it and shows no sign of retiring. 4 has now done far more matches as TM than the others combined... but he's still 'the new guy'.

I mean I get that Tiger Mask is a famous gimmick and all, but I'm amazed by the amount of interest there's been based on that one pic. Especially considering that TM3 was an abject failure (under the mask) and TM4 has been astoundingly mediocre.
