And if we're talking Hashimoto, his rivalries with Tenryu and Yamazaki are required viewing too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtDBnQCTlRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw4qS4iJ9Vg

Oh, and in addition to non stop FMW revivals or reunion shows they're getting a ECW one as well: quote:The next show has been set for 10/10 at the Shinkiba 1stRING called “Tokyo Gurentai One Night Stand”. NOSAWA mentioned names like Sabu, Raven, and Sandman are in works to be on the show. Thauros fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Some interesting stats from the guys running the Voices of Wrestling twitter about Korakuen hall shows. July 15, 2015 there’s already been 99 shows ran at Korakuen. In 2010 there were 112 all year. NJPW ran 19 Korakuen shows in 2014. By July 15, they’ve already ran 16.

Loads of local talent, indie wayfarers staying there for longer stints and the occasional big name for a larger show. If you're in the area around the 15th, you'd get to see Jun Kasai, Takashi Sasaki and Minoru Suzuki appear on their huge card. They also put out their show info in English and accept US Dollars for ticket sales. If you like watching indy wrestling, go and see their shows.

It's cool how much indie work Minoru Suzuki does while being a full time guy for either NJPW or NOAH. I'd love to see some US indie bring him over once, he'd be perfect for just about any one regardless of style.

From DDT's August 6th show: 3. Antonio Honda defeated Transparent Mel Gibson with a Backslide Pin (22:15). "Antonio Honda entered Shin-kiba 1st Ring today to face one of the toughest challenges of not just his career, but of his entire life. Transparent Mel Gibson flew into Japan on his transparent private jet to answer Honda’s challenge and the two went face to face in the ring as the live commentary team talked about Gibson’s movies. When Honda took control he drank from a bottle of whiskey and began impersonating Jack Nicholson’s character from Easy Rider. Gibson fought back until Honda started Hulking up. Honda applied a Guillotine Drop and told the ref to ask if Gibson would submit. Gibson yelled “Freedom!” Honda let Gibson go and talked about watching a match from a college wrestling club called HWWA. In that match a young wrestler named Harley Rape was fighting the Invisible Man. The point of the story is Honda learned that every person has their struggles, even invisible people. Honda invited Gibson to dance as Leonard Cohen’s “Bird On A Wire” played over the speakers. The two danced together until Honda hit Gibson with a cheap shot and pinned him with a Backslide. They still hugged afterwards."

It might not air at all and certainly won't be complete. But that sort of match is why DDT's Beer Garden shows during the first week of August are one of the best live experiences in pro wrestling. And tickets are super cheap and wrestlers cook food!

DDT is just the best. Has anyone ever suggested DDT to Steve Austin? Because the "Steve Austin reacts to Dramatic Dream Team Show" should be a thing that's real.

One of my favorite beer garden clips that I can't ever find anymore was when Honda was dressed up as Onita and someone else was Terry Funk and they did their exploding no roped barbed wire match but the explosions were streamers and the wrestlers made the explosion noises.

 Oh, and Union Pro is apparently shutting down after their Anniversary Show in October. I thought they were just a DDT sub-brand but STRIGGA told be they had become more independent.
