Yes. But then he came back as a ghost that only Sanashiro Takagi and Dino couldn't see.

Just a little update from me... Got a new puro source so I'll be getting all of the new titles. Top quality, HD sources to DVD in what appears to be flex mode (fills the disc to max the quality out). Recently added: BJW 2012-12-12 Death Vegas (upgrade) DDT 2013-11-02 Michinoku Pro 2013-11-04 JJJ Series (2D) NJPW 2013-11-06 Super Junior Tag Tournament (2D) NOAH 2013-10-25 Global League (2D) NOAH 2013-10-27 Global League (2D) NOAH Di Colosseo #544 Wrestle-1 2013-09-08 Raising An Army (2D) More BJW, NOAH, NJPW coming soon, as well as Stardom. Running a 25% off sale until Wednesday, so you can get these all on the cheap (hoping I can regain my costs) by entering 'november' at checkout. I'm putting a lot of these on Google Drive so if anyone wants them digitally shoot me an email. I don't have a new digital system in place (yet, we'll see) but can offer them on a case by case basis.

I did a double take when I saw the date, myself. Amusingly, the rest of the tournament will come after. Not sure when, but next couple days or so.

This is from a few days ago but I didn't see it posted. 11/21 AJPW show at Korakuen. Apparently drew either 468 or 615 depending on the source. Can they really even stay in business at this rate?

AJPW's owner seems like the type who will double down before he gives up completely. Looking forward to a purchase of NOAH.

The pic probably is unfair as Ditch said, but even at the more generous estimate that sounds really bad. NJPW sometimes runs really small buildings but they almost always seem to either sell out or come very close to doing so when they run Korakuen. Hell, DDT almost always seems to draw 1k+ at Korakuen according to cagematch and also did much better for their big show at Sumo Hall.

Lineup for the December 7th Taue retirement show courtesy of the Observerquote:The complete lineup for what is the promotion’s biggest show in a long time, including a number of older legends from the 80s and 90s, has Super Crazy vs. Pesadilla, Mohammed Yone & Atsushi Kotoge vs. Daisuke Harada & Hitoshi Kumano, Yoshihiro Takayama & Hajime Ohara vs. Kensuke Sasaki & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya, Maybach Taniguchi vs. Katsuyori Shibata, Akira Taue & Takeshi Morishima & Takashi Sugiura & Genba Hirayanagi vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Tatsumi Fujinami & Masao Inoue & Kentaro Shiga, Jushin Liger & Tiger Mask defend the GHC jr. tag titles against Yoshinari Ogawa & Zack Sabre Jr., Taiji Ishimori defends the GHC jr. title against Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Mikey Nicholls & Shane Haste defend the GHC tag titles against Naomichi Marufuji & Katsuhiko Nakajima and KENTA vs. Yuji Nagata for the GHC heavyweight title. They also announced Harley Race would be coming in his role as the figurehead member of the GHC championship committee. It’s the first time Race has come to Japan since the 2004 show at the Tokyo Dome. Looks like an interesting show.

The latest Observer says AJPW's latest semi major show in Nagoya drew 1,700 which was considered pretty good. NOAH after a run of decent numbers seems to be back down.

Tenryu wrestling in someone else's retirement match in December 2013 is never going to make sense.
|
# ? Nov 28, 2013 08:27 |
Somewhere in a nearby parallel universe there's a reality where NOAH didn't go to poo poo and Misawa is still alive and him and Taue wrestle card-opening comedy matches well into their 60s.

Taue visited Kawada's noodle shop as part of the promotion for the retirement show and Meltzer thinks he'll make an appearance.

Does Kawada himself make the noodles? I'm not a noodle-eater, but I couldn't pass up Kawada noodles.

On December 6, 1991 the match of Giant Baba and Andre the Giant vs. Abdullah the Butcher and Giant Kamala II took place. Does this match exist in full anywhere and how do I see it?
