Did Samoa Joe have any other notable matches in Japan other than his match with Misawa in 2007?

Is BJW still around? Their 15th anniversary tribute video popped up on my recommended videos to watch and I'm pretty sure that this year is their 20th anniversary.

Are there any FMW stars still around? I'm assuming Onita still does the occasional show.

I don't know what's going on in this video except that Hayabusa walks into a ring, the first time since 2001 I think.

My sister-in-law just let me know that Giant Baba and Jumbo Tsuruta are among the candidates to be the namesakes of recently discovered exoplanets.

That's really cool. I hope those are the names they go with.


I think it's safe to say that Hayabusa got a lot of people into puroresu.

Onita the triple crown champion in 2015? It's possible I guess. What's next, him defending the belts in an exploding barbed wire match?

This sucks a lot and Minoru Suzuki's tweet about it is just ripping my heart out :<

Do you have a translated version?

I posted this when it happened last year but I don't know if everyone saw it. It's really emotional for anyone who was a Hayabusa fan:

This was always one of my favorite ECW matches:

Horrible news obviously, especially since he seemed to be doing pretty good in recent years.

According to @reaonjp Onita scheduled a press conference for tomorrow, wouldn't be shocked if it's some sort of FMW memorial show.

Did this press conference happen?

Hayabusa always talked about having one more match so it's not out of the realm of possibility. I don't think it could've been anything more than someone laying down and Hayabusa pinning them though.

Good scapegoat for close down another FMW revival no ones been going to see.

Has FMW or ECW had more revivals at this point?

AJPW was successful and relevant at one point. I don't think you can say either about TNA.

Is there a dedicated DDT thread? I saw this and wasn't sure where to post it:

Tracy had some fantastic matches in AIW. He had one with Michael Elgin which blew my mind.

I haven't watched any recent NOAH. Are there any free matches on youtube I can watch to get an idea of what it's like now?

the best analogue for NOSAWA is your average indie guy who starts a godawful promotion+training school so that they finally get booked, even if only by themselvs.
