I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I saw my first Danshoku Dino match in person and then went and looked him up on YouTube to see him wrestle a very young Akira Tozawa in 2007:

You wouldn't even recognize Tozawa if you didn't know it was him.

This will forever be the best Danshoku Dino match, because Jun Kasai is amazing.

Also, there's no way this match makes any more sense if you can understand Japanese.

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or the indie thread but Revolution Pro here in the UK have just announced Tanahashi for their October show in London. Unfortunately it's the same day that 4FW in Swindon have Ultimo Dragon and Great Sasuke as part of their joint show with Michinoku Pro so it's a tricky choice

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Revolution Pro also have a little card next weekend headlined by Liger and Devitt with Naom Dar and Takahashi on the undercard. The Uk scene is just amazing at the moment.

Man, even at only 360p, Kasai's body looks disgusting. Does he have a hole in the left side of his back :psyduck:?

I'm gonna have to get down to this, no way in hell am I missing the chance to see Tanahashi live.

PCW have announced they're bringing Ultimo Dragon over to the UK in August and Jushin Liger in November. I know Liger worked CHIKARA recently but how are they both nowadays? Should I be excited or very excited?

Liger's still awesome and a regular part of NJPW's junior scene. Just check out his his BOSJ match against Devitt from last week!

Only thing I've seen Ultimo in lately is in a rudo role in MPro where he mostly punches people and rips their masks. I'd expect a tag match where he spends a lot of time on the apron and comes in at the end to get his spots in.

I'd definitely be more excited about Liger ... But then again I'd always be more excited about Liger if the other guy in question isn't Daniel Bryan.

Yeah, Liger's not quite what he was in the '90s but he's still an excellent wrestler especially when you consider that he's almost 50. A lot of his 2012 BOSJ matches are on DAilymotion and are worth checking out.

Here's a match he worked with John Morrison on his recent US indie tour. His tag match with Quack in Chikara was really fun with a crowd was super hot for him. It's worth checking out if you don't mind the fact that the booking for that match looks like it came directly out of one of Quack's high school notebooks.

Liger is like the Misawa of the Junior scene. He's old, cranky, and gives no fucks.

I'm super jealous you get to see him at the PCW venue(which is a really rad place for wrestling and everyone should buy their DVDs).

Liger also seems to realize that the best thing he can do for the business is use his name value to put people over.

But he's still alive and he no-sold brain cancer, so he's really more like Kobashi.

Yes. To the point where he wouldn't walk down the aisle for Kobashi's retirement because that is an honor reserved for wrestlers.

He never officially retired did he? He just kind of quietly stopped wrestling.

Right. He last wrestled in a 6-man on NJ's 2010 G-1 tour, stopped working out, and focused on his restaurant, which is fairly standard in Japan because there are roughly 3 restaurants per capita in the country.

Colt Cabana on the card too, I doubt it will sell out that fast when it's still 4 months away, I don't think the card at the weekend with Liger sold out and I imagine UK audience is more familiar with Liger than they are with Tanahashi.

Apologies if this is old news, but Takashi Sugiura has gone out of his mind and is going to captain a team (along with Genba and Takayama) in a six-man tag against Atsushi Onita on 7/7. A tornado tag deathmatch. In NOAH.
