Are they somehow better at doing quick camera zooms at the impact moment, or do I like it just because it isn't WWE?

They're better. Just in that clip the shot is tight on Inamura until he picks up the other guy, then it zooms out to show you all of them and what they're doing. It then zooms in as they do the move but it's faster than WWE, not as chaotic, and is mostly to focus on what you need to focus on. It then quickly pulls out as it makes sense to show more of the frame in anticipation of the pin and count.

I'm short, WWE uses zooms to put an emphasis on a move by going "look how chaotic this looks! It's crazy!" while that zoom put an emphasis on it by making it the only thing they show you. The zoom cuts out anything you don't need to see and shows you the move, the thing you're supposed to see.

It's incredible to see that Kobashi is still able to walk around and live a normal life after the bumps he took over his career, especially when the the person giving the bump is a stark reminder on how badly wrestling can grind down a body

That's some serious yikes. I guess after blows to the head like that it might be easy to forget you're not actually trying to kill each other. It's a vicious cycle.

drat, I knew Eddie had a bit of a run on the Indies in 2002 (including winning the IWA-MS Heavyweight title in an excellent Three-Way Dance against Punk and Rey), but I didn't know he had a run in New Japan.

Also, I would assume the Black Tiger standing on the ring apron is Silver King rather than Rocky, right?
