I could watch Chono slap the eyebrows off Yamazaki from Downtown for days. If that's all Chono does to the new owner of AJ I'd be happy.

I wish I could find the clip I was watching of Downtown, but it was one of the High School ones, and it involved Riki Choshu and Tenryu pretending to be part of the school, giving presentations, and Tenryu intentionally mumbled and mispronounced everything. Obviously they all laughed and they had to basically call it off because Choshu was properly doubled over laughing and none of them could stop laughing when they looked over at Choshu. He was absolutely in hysterics, tears streaming and everything.

That is even better than I expected it to be. Tenryu's mumbling was just too much to take, respect to the actors there that managed to avoid corpsing, because Choshu was corpsing big time.

The batsu games they do are always laugh riots. When Chono shows up in one and slap somebody's face off their face I laughed forever.

That's the point of the Batsu (punishment) Games. Every time they laugh, they get penalized by getting whacked. In the past they've been kicked or hit in the rear with blow darts, but the most frequent punishment is getting hit with the big latex stick.

It's an annual tradition for this comedy troupe to go through these ridiculous scenarios (usually acting as employees in a hotel, school, airport, spy school, etc.,) in the hopes of making them laugh and get punished.

Because they're not supposed to laugh!!! That's what a "batsu game" entails. "Batsu game" means if you gently caress up you get some kind of embarrassing punishment in front of the whole group - sing a song, get hit, etc. In the case of the New Years one, they're going through those scenarios trying their best not to laugh.

This match was uncharacteristically sloppy and kinda disappointing (awesome finishing sequence though). Still pretty good, but not great.

Also I don't know how I've gone so long without noticing how pretty Okada's dropkick is

Ibushi gets a bloody mouth at some point in the match. I rewatched it and found Okada's dropkick caused it, you don't see it at first then Okada puts him in Red Ink and a trickle of blood drips down his neck while in the submission hold, that's some poetic shite m8.

-There's a lot of good G-1s. I'd say '98 is tops for the first decade, then 2002-2004 are all good.

-NOAH peaked from 2003-2005

-HUSTLE... ummmmm... was never really consistently good. Other than Takada being such an amazing promo that you can enjoy him without knowing Japanese. Seriously the guy is a Hall of Famer purely for in-ring and he turns out to be a way better promo.

HUSTLE probably peaked in 2005, their shows were always hit and miss though.

HUSTLEMANIA 2005 was probably the peak for spectacle, and any match with the FMW guys (Masato Tanaka, Tetsuo Kuroda & Kintaro Kanemura) ended up being fun to watch.

I asked my questions because I was going to make an order there for the first time, although I didn't see that coupon post until after I had placed the order. I probably make another purchase soon, some NOAH and G1.

Honestly, you can probably chart Hustle's best years based on when Yinling the Erotic Terrorist was brought in, to when Akebono hatched from the egg she layed after being impregnated by Muto's green mist... That was the best storyline to ever happen in the company's existance. Except maybe for the last big story of Wataru Sakata versus a robo-Takada called The Esperanza.
