Apparently Johnny Ace has been divested of his backstage duties and is now just a guy who sometimes appears at house shows to get pinned by the faces?

Wrestling New Classic opening for 9/20.

Highlights the barbed-wire board match between Team AKIRA vs Team WNC. WNC has some of the best music and video packages in the world, they're almost as good as the WWE's.

Nozaki Nagisa.

More or less, he said no one scares him in the company more than AKIRA and Kana. Apparently this includes Super Leather & Dave Finlay.

Nozaki's debut was cracking me up, because she was half-assing kendo stick shots while trying to keep her alcohol in the cup.

Yesterday, fellow goon Breadnought and I went to see the NJPW ROAD TO DESTRUCTION show in Niihama. We got to see Alex Shelley, Low Ki, Rocky Romero, Lance Hoyt and DH Smith. Also Nagata got beat up and thrown into our chairs. It was pretty loving awesome!

AKIRA is one of those older dudes who probably wants to die in the ring like Missy and Kana got herself over by being a pretty Japanese girl who stiffed opponents and talked all sorts of poo poo. She also threatened to kill Serena Deeb (or was it Syuri?) with a katana during a feud.

At least when Finlay kicks your rear end, you know there's a rational human being just doing his job. When Akira was feuding with that metal hand guy, he pulled out all his hair, painted his head white, and attacked him with a sword. Kana has the crazy eyes when she gets mad. Taijiri is right to be nervous around them. :ohdear:

Well, the sword was suppose to represent her passion, and it's a pun on her name but it doesn't really look as great when in the same promo you're screaming at the top of your lungs that you're going to kick someone's face off.

What kind of wrestler is Tanahashi? I saw him wrestle last week and he seemed like a pretty bland face. Does he have any standout feuds? Special highlight reels? Anything of note other than the air guitar and the fact that he got stabbed by an ex girlfriend 10 years ago?

IMO Tanahashi is either totally bland or awesome, with the awesome being few and far between. Fantastic athlete, hard worker, but isn't violent the way great Japanese heavies tend to be.

And it'd probably STILL be a 4-star match, and end in a brutally stiff lariat.

Boco_T: Mar 12, 2003; la calaca tilica y flaca

I only had a few minutes so I watched the first 3 matches on the docket there.

vs. The Destroyer was hilarious and Hansen was blonde with a goatee. Destroyer rules so I loved this.

Second match is literally a jobber squash. I didn't know they actually had those in Japan.

Hansen vs. Baba is weird. Baba's arms are like twigs at this point and none of his offense looks believable on Hansen's monster body. Still an important historical match for Hansen, but not really good.

Excited to watch the rest of the tape.

# ? Sep 26, 2012 02:17

Paper Jam Dipper: Jul 14, 2007; by XyloJW

The Destroyer definitely rules. My favourite 60s/70s wrestler by far. Only Bock compares in my book.

New Japan has decided that indeed, it is a good idea to take money from people willing to give it to you. Their next PPV, "King of Pro Wrestling" on October 8th will be broadcast on UStream. The PPV will cost $25 US Dollars.

The card:
Tanahashi vs Suzuki for the IWGP Heavyweight Title
Nakamura vs Goto for the Intercontinental Title
Karl Anderson vs Okada
Makabe Inoue vs Sakuraba Shibata
Naito vs Yujiro
Tenzan Kojima vs Archer Smith for the IWGP Tag-team Titles
Kota Ibushi vs Low-Ki for the IWGP Jr Heavyweight Title
Alex Kozlov & Rocky Romero vs KUSIDA & Alex Shelly for the IWGP Jr Tag-Team Titles
Nakanishi, Nagata, & Strongman vs Yano, Iizuka, & Ishii

That's a loving stacked card. Now who wants to watch an iPPV at 9:00 EST Sunday morning?

It's ... Not? I mean, the Shibata / Sakuraba team is nice and random but other than that it's mostly the regular roster. Unless you think a card is stacked if it has Alex Shelley & DH Smith.

Should be a fun show as usual but you can pretty much bet on nothing big happening two months before Wrestle Kingdom.
