Acsoridng to the Observer/F4W site TAKESHI MORISHIMA wrestled a dark match on Raw against Charlie Haas. The mind boggles.


This news will really mean something if he drops the belt sooner than later. Then again I'm probably thinking in American wrestling ideas.

Delirious beat KENTA with the Bizarro Driver in a singles match today.

How come there's no :psyduck: emot with a Delirious mask?

That wasn't the most bizarre thing I heard recently about a KENTA match. A friend of mine told me he had a match under 2 minutes against Ricky Marvin that KENTA won with a Punt ala Orton. Has he been doing the Punt a lot recently or was this a new thing for him?

Delirious didn't even win with one of his 3 finishers.

Also, team 3d are the new japan tag champs for no good reason.

They just gained it back in TNA from the British Invasion. It was them or Steiner/Booker or Robert Roode and James Storm.

I think there were two earlier ones too that we just as good. Or well at least I liked them.

That hurts my brain. Marufuji is one of my favorite wrestlers but it pains me to think he would use something as dumb as the australian suplex and win with it.

To be fair its not like TigersMask is a series wrestler. Dude's gimmick was based of the Tigers baseball team over in Japan.


For KENTA I don't have an explanation.

After watch round two of the J-Cup I need to ask, who was that commentator who threw a punch at Dino? Also was it me or did that Slice Bread(forgive I no not the Japanese name) and the Australian Suplex spot look like it was more two botches in a row?

CC is correct. Bret vs Misawa is not good and I know it's hard not to want to see it but it just doesn't work. But it's still better than the Steamboat vs Misawa '89 disaster.

This was The Hitman Vs. Tiger Mask right? I kept seeing pictures around of it and to be honest those pictures are what started my like in the Tiger Mask gimmick.

Did anything actually happen that lead to them breaking up, or was it just both guys moving on?

KENTA and Marufuji's team broke up because they kept arguing over who had better hair.

The answer was Kota Ibushi btw.

NOSAWA, the omnipresent mediocrity, managed to do four crimes within the span of a minute.

He was drunk, and wanted a taxi ride to his hotel. Taxi driver didn't know how to get there (this is common for some reason) so NOSAWA argues with him, gets out, opens the driver's door, pulls the driver out, and starts driving for a little ways until the cops pull him over. So:

-Assault
-Drunk driving
-Stealing a taxi
-And he didn't have his driver's license

Now, let's see if he goes to jail before Jeff Hardy!

Isn't he supposed to have a tag match with MVP soon?

I'm watching a Dragon Gate DVD at the moment (Best of Wrestle JAM volume 1) and there's a three way ladder match between Jack Evans, Genki Horiguchi & Akira Tozawa.

I only know Tozawa from CHIKARA and he looks completely different, to the point I don't recognise him. Can anyone confirm he is the same guy, and the Tozawa name isn't just a gimmick they pass on.

He's had a lot of drastic attire changes. Does he have black hair here?
