Is Tanahashi any good? I've honestly never heard of the guy before TNA decided to bring him in for Sunday.

What are the best resources to use for following present day puro? Are Japanese workers inherently more talented than American workers? It seems like some hardcore puro fans act as if anyone overseas is the perfect offspring of Benoit and Angle, but guys like A-Train - who was pretty much poo poo on when he was in the E - are able to be gainfully employed in the bigger name promotions. What gives? Who were the ten best puro workers in 2005?

Ditch posted:Way to take a lot of things out of context. I certainly wasn't trying to do that, nor was I trying to trash puro, it was a legitimate question I had given my minimal knowledge of puro. Thanks for the information, Ditch. Your columns are one of the few reasons I go to InsidePulse.

I just wanted to say that your look at HUSTLE was pretty awesome. I had heard about them but had no idea what they were about at all. It's also good to hear that Rosey's going to be in Japan. Since I'm a slight mark for the big guy, I have to ask: how big of a push do you think he'll get?

Chief Rebel Angel posted:I had no idea Japan's drug laws were so strict. And I thought we were bad enough here in the US. Van Dam and Sabu are lucky they work here. Heh, ask Paul McCartney about Japan and marijuana. I don't really understand what caused their hardline stance, but drat do they hate the reefer. Great to hear Kenta's doing well though.

Paradol Ex posted:You know, Wrestlehut should really start its own website for columns and recaps. There's a lot of talent round these parts. There was going to be something like this about a year ago, and then Evil Angry Cat was eaten by dingoes or something  I'd love to see one actually be launched and maintained, but it smells like another Goon Project to me.

According to Wikipedia, Gordy didn't want to job to Hogan, but Hansen was cool with it. Speaking of Hansen, I just saw his 1990 match with Steve Williams. Decent old-fashioned brawl, but I marked like crazy for the first lariat I've ever seen Hansen do. Holy poo poo that is awesome.

Saw this in the last Wrestling Observer and had to repost, just because it seems so ridiculous.quote:There is an idea for a new form of gimmick match on a show on 8/13. The idea is it would be a match with Kenso vs. Takao Omori. There would be five other wrestlers who are the allowable interferers. Please hide this issue from Vince Russo. The idea is the five allowable interferers all get to come to the ring for 30 seconds, bringing any weapon they are able to bring with them, and use it on either guy or both guys if they wish. The interferers would enter like a Royal Rumble, at specific intervals one minute apart. But they have to leave and they can’t win the match.

If it wasn't for Goldberg, "The Jackhammer Smasher" would be a great and stupid finisher name.

Akebono was always used well and was a unique performer in NJPW. I don't think him leaving from his current position in the card is a positive move.

Ditch, do you have a spreadsheet for 1980s or 1990s puro matches like the 2000s one? edit: and/or something including joshi? Punch McLightning fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Apr 18, 2016 |

MassRafTer posted:Ditch's archive for older stuff. http://theditch.us/chron.html Ditch‘s stuff is great. Does anyone have resources for ‘19 NOAH? Cagematch seems to follow Big Japan and All Japan (at least for Champions Carnival) pretty close. I think with the Dragon Gate and joshi resources above, that should cover most of it.

Hello. I'm looking for assistance filling out the field for this year's WH-128. If you can suggest people from Japanese promotions that aren't New Japan, that'd be really helpful. The thread is here. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3900148&pagenumber=1

Schneider Heim posted:Can I ask for a brief description/writeup of AJPW, NOAH, and DDT? I'm interested in their styles and direction, compared to, say, NJPW. The most I know is that NOAH broke off from AJPW, DDT does a lot of weird comedy matches, but that's it. GWB broke down All Japan about as well as you can. I just wanted to add that I’m watching the main matches from the Champion Carnival this year and they had so many great matches. I’m having a blast watching the highlights of the promotion.

I decided to try to watch some of the key BJW matches this year, and I just noped out of watching Takeda vs. Sakuda. Just don't need to see anything shoved through both of someone's cheeks, no thanks. Punch's eternal war with finding out if I like death matches may be over.

GEORGE W BUSHI posted:These are voted on by Internet smarks. If you did a similar poll in the US, AEW/NXT/NJPW would dominate despite Raw/SmackDown getting better attendance numbers. Is Dragon Hate widely looked down upon in Japan, though? I’m not going to fix that autocorrect, because I now want a stable called Dragon Hate.
