Gambit from the X-Men posted:well....... I had completely missed how Misawa died. Jesus loving christ. quote:On June 13, 2009, Misawa teamed with Shiozaki against GHC Tag Team Champions Saito and Smith in a title match at Hiroshima Green Arena. The match was supposed to last 37 minutes, but around ten minutes before the scheduled finish, Misawa took a back suplex from Saito.[3] Misawa was motionless, and referee Shuichi Nishinaga stopped the match.[3] A doctor in attendance attempted to perform CPR, but was unsuccessful, and Misawa's body discolored as emergency medical technicians attempted to revive him with an automated external defibrillator.[3] Misawa was taken to the Hiroshima University hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:10pm JST,[2] at age 46.[4]

Suppose it doesn't help matters that Taue is so strangely proportioned making suits difficult

Baba had them min/maxing their strength training, essentially 90% of their training would be towards their necks.

Suppose it doesn't help matters that Taue is so strangely proportioned making suits difficult It was also just how he walked. Taue needs a stick, Kobashi doesn't look too bad considering his knee surgeries, Kawada didn't really seem to be limping And yes, I think how he stopped carrying around that mass almost as soon as he called it quits.

Bonk posted:Back around '00-'03 or so, I got really into buying from tape traders. Since I had never had access to puro before, I asked the tape guy I knew to just fill up 3 extended play VHS tapes with as many Four Pillars matches as he could fit. Dude did me a solid and put all the 5* matches in the highest quality for no extra charge. Yeah, that's how I got back into wrestling in the mid 90s. Bought some tapes from a guy in the Netherlands, initially just some WWF poo poo but he soon started recommending stuff he thought I might enjoy, and sending in free bonus tapes of ECW and AJPW stuff. God drat those were good times, just watching wrestling with my brother and some friends while eating too much candy and drinking soda.

People critiquing AEWs one woman seent made worse when that one segment is trash. Dave going full straw man well if you care about women so much name the STARDOM roster. gently caress that.

why doesn't Dave Meltzer, AEW booker, put more women's matches on the show he regularly says needs to do a better job showcasing women?? instead he's telling us to watch a different promotion. not a good look OR sound business strategy, imo

SMH for Dave not even mentioning the real big women's show, today's Darejyo EXTRA. Emi Sakura's free class showcase which includes a dropkick contest. Meltzer barely cares about women's wrestling. Shouldn't even be trying to talk smack. fez_machine fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Oct 1, 2022 |

I'm fairly sure that complaining about WWE etc. on an internet forum in the last 30 years has always had a high likelihood of someone chiming in saying you should watch or check out puro.

Trying posted:It's Darkstar! Darkstar is the poster you are alluding to. Nah Darkstar just can’t stop watching WWE despite themselves, there’s another poster who used to buy women shoes and then posted a rant about how Awesome Kong needed to hurry up and get over her miscarriage so she could get back in the ring. That’s the worst women’s wrestling fan.
