I'm looking for Jun Akiyama vs. Kentaro Shiga 12/7/2002, either the match alone or the show it aired on. According to Cagematch it aired live on NTV so the whole thing should be out there, but I can only find a clipped version on Chinese YouTube. Neither IVPVideos or RudoReels seems to have the show. Any help? Ditch???

Dino summoned all the butts he conquered during his road to Bono but it wasn't enough. Last two serious matches really delivered. Solid show all around. Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Mar 21, 2016 |

In case anyone else was wondering what was going on before the break. dramaticDDT posted:After the match Takagi and Ibushi shared an emotional moment in the ring. Takagi congratulated Ibushi for his return, called him crazy and said he can now do whatever he wants to do. He hopes the Ibushi Wrestling Institute will discover new and interesting ways to do pro wrestling. Ibushi thanked him and said he would like to come back to DDT in the future. He did some backflips for the fans and then left. But KENSO was still there and he wanted to talk to Takagi. He said he came to DDT to chase after Takagi but then discovered DDT is the best and their fans are the best. So he wants to join DDT! Takagi instantly refused and demanded his music to cut off KENSO’s mic. KENSO asked again and Takagi instantly refused again. KENSO asked one more time and this time Kasai stepped in to offer his opinion. Kasai thinks a psychopath like KENSO joining DDT wouldn’t be a bad idea. Takagi thought about it but said no and left the ring to his music while KENSO fainted. Also looking forward to Hirata & Aja Kong's hot date

Ditch posted:I still can't believe that's happening. All Japan splitting twice in the last five years is beyond parody. Now I kind of want to see the Puro family tree and how many times it split off and then sometimes merged back on. JWA splits into NJPW and AJPW NJPW has UWF split off in the 80s, which eventually leads to RINGS, PWFG and UWFi, UWFi ending up back with NJPW. Then there are all of the fake splinter groups NJPW created in the 90s... PWFG ended up leading to Pancrase which creates a lineage that would be impossible to follow from there. AJPW has SWS split off it, then NOAH, then W1, now Akebono. NOAH ended up splitting itself and half of it ended up back in AJPW... with Go eventually back in NOAH and now NOAH is part of NJPW. And there's more and more out there, I just don't want to put any actual effort into this.

The first Tokyo Pro Wrestling also split off from the JWA and eventually became IWE, which then split its roster between AJPW and NJPW when it folded. PWFG led to Battlarts too. Hamada's UWF led to Michinoku Pro which led to Osaka Pro and probably a bunch of other regional groups, and then Toryumon and T2P and Dragon Gate. And there's ZERO1 too.

Yeah I actually don't have a clue about the exact circumstances of MPro's formation, just that it was a lot of Hamada trainees and they pretty much picked up the lucharesu mantle where he left off.

There's also Choshu's JPW that I think was briefly a real group before becoming a kayfabe vehicle for the Ishin Gundan vs. AJPW feud.

Also can link Toryumon to WAR as their president came through there along with Mocchy. Dragon System is such a mess considering how it has really only been three or four promotions with a lot of brands. WAR/MPro/Toryumon Mexico led to Toryumon Japan. TJ had two brand offshoots (T2P/Toryumon X). Then the Ultimo split occurs. TJ became DG with a lot of the older wrestlers and the T2P/TX kids with Ultimo formed DragonDoor with LiveDoor money. DD fails/LiveDoor goes belly up and El Dorado forms with the Aagan Issou guys that got fired from DG. El Dorado somehow exists for a long time, fails and the even smaller Secret Base forms. SB still exists somehow, though its monthly at venues smaller than Shin Kiba last time I checked. NotQuiteQuentin fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Mar 31, 2016 |

FMW to W*ING, TripleSix, Apache, and split into a whole buttload of other dumb stuff post-mortem. W*ing to IWA-J, WAR to BJW , Apache to FREEDOMS. Do we count FMW as a UWF Newborn branch because Onita created it out of spite?

I wish someone would do a history of Japanese indie wrestling. So much interesting stuff there. The big two plus the UWF had a virtual monopoly on men's talent so guys like Onita and Hamada had to resort to a weird hodgepodge of karate guys, luchadors, women and guys who flunked out of the big two's dojo system like Ultimo Dragon and Tarzan Goto. Somehow out of that FMW was able to sell out domes with no TV for a couple of years.
