Welp, now I'm going to have to go home and try to find my tape with the Honma-Yamakawa matches from '99-'00 on them. And probably find a source for these matches as well. Thanks Ditch :mad:

I just watched the Ito v. Abby Jr. 4 corners of pain match on youtube. And while the video quality is lovely it really doesn't take anything away from the complete insanity of the finish.

I love deathmatch finishes. They're just so...crazy.

Whatever happened to the simpler days of dumping someone into a tank of pirahna?

Naoshi Sano is much in the line of Survival Tobita in terms of being the straight man against odd opponents. He once took a 619 from an 8 year old girl and sold it.

Ventura, Monsoon and Heenan (I think) all used to use "pearl harbour". I would also approve if they referred to cowardly acts and people as "yellow"

That's more referring to a "yellow stripe down their back", as in a chicken.

Okay if nobody can dig this match then I give up

Kaientai Deluxe vs Delfin, Hamada, Tiger Mask 4, Naniwa & Yakushiji, Michinoku Pro October 10th 1996

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NIB0JCEB

One of the definitive puro matches. Lots of fun, lots of action, ridiculously good execution on everything, non-stop pace, it's one of the few matches everyone agrees on.

If people don't like this match, they can loving die.

was that the same parking lot BJW decided to have Zandig wrestle in a burning ring? If you haven't seen the match, its an impressive feat of stupidity.

This?

Anyone have any recommendations for Golden Lovers matches, either DDT or NJPW? I've seen some small clips but I've never seen an actual full match.

Sorry if this isn't the right thread, it seems to be the only Japanese-related thread, not finding anything for DDT or NJPW.

Well, that's not a match I expected to happen.

Also is Jack Cartwheel good? I saw him on the PWG comeback show last year & thought he was really mediocre but he also seems very much like the kind of gaijin CIMA would have brought into Dragongate 10 years ago & who'd rapidly get way better (see PAC & Ricochet for the most obvious examples but honestly that applies to the Young Bucks too)

I think Ricochet is a good comp - I think Ricochet had a better handle on Pro Wrestling than Cartwheel does at this point, but Ricochet was as close to a generational talent in high flying as they come.
