Ebessan & Ebekkosan vs. Kuishinbo Kamen & Momoe Nakanishi - Momo Racci Final, 1/7/05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWKHCyWfiw4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTeY5Hkw4os http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEvDDMZ1fXU Comedy match obviously and it owns like pretty much any Ebessan/Kamen match. THRILL~! at learning Ebekkosan's SECRET IDENTITY~! Also, watch the post-match shenanigans for a very special guest! Oh and also Ebessan is a giant perv. Momo Racci Final was Momoe's retirement show and she wrestled the both opening (this match) and final matches on the card. Fun fact: Her first and final matches in her career were both against Nanae Takahashi (they're pretty much BFFs and Nanae's practically an aunt to Momoe's kids).

Toshie Uematsu & Ran Yu-Yu vs. Kiku Kong & Sakura the Butcher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82bVnIBAsds I like how Ran can't keep a straight face at all throughout the match. The slow motion part is the absolute best outside of maybe Hirota's agility and balance in a fat suit.

Mr. Carlisle posted:Woah, Tatanka was in WWE in 2006? He basically spent most of it on Velocity and in the midcard and from what I remember was in "cranky old man" mode where he'd do lots of stiff-rear end chops and poo poo. It kind of ruled until they decided to turn him heel with the always-a-winner combo of a losing streak and having him blame racism. He requested his release not long after the heel turn iirc.

And no, Chii's not a kid (she's like 20 or 21). She's just really, really, really short. Suben fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Mar 18, 2011 |

Lucasar posted:Oh man I love it when you post this stuff. Most of them had a prop or weapon when they came to the ring. Was that a stip? I'm guessing a lot of them were just goofy gimmick references like Chii having a megaphone because of her tendency to basically banshee shriek. Or Sayaka Obihiro's keyboard probably being a reference to the fact that 19 O'Clock Pro Wrestling (a sub-brand of Ice Ribbon that she was the centerpiece of before her injury) streams their weekly show on Ustream. Kind of wish the listings in the description were in order of appearance though because even with it I still only knew who a few people were either because I knew them already or they were pretty easy to figure out. Also Kikutaro filming everything on his phone while wrestling is great.

Manic_Misanthrope posted:Chikara's weekly podcast thingy decided to let Christmas come early this week with "that" 4 way match at King of Trios 2009: El Generico vs Nick Jackson vs Jigsaw vs Kota Ibushi That's a pretty awesome match but is Jigsaw as annoyingly indytastic as he comes off in that video? Between the tattoos, pants and using joshi/puro finishers as mid-match nearfall moves he seems like he stepped right out of 2002. Also, the ending seems really rushed and a bit anti-climactic.

Seeing his name brought up in another thread made me wonder if anybody has that video of Ricky Reyes drunk and shouting things while a bunch of ROH guys (Joe, Punk and the like) egg him on. I remember it included things like Reyes challenging someone to a push-up contest and the declaration "Ace Steel is the fuckin' man!"

Since I mentioned it in the Raw GDT right before it closed figure I'll post here what FLIK describes as "bizarre rear end AJW training footage" from their TV show. It's really not an exaggeration at all. This stuff gets kind of weird and brutal and you'll probably be uncomfortable at certain points! And I'll just copy/paste FLIK's posts from the DVDVR boards to give actual context and poo poo. First up, 1990 AJW Training Montage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQpiZLZh8fo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrXI53S9srw FLIK posted:Starts off so nicely with the girls taking a nice cruise on the ocean, little do they know it's a cruise to HELL mwahaha... And 1991 AJW Training Montage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz9viqb2FnI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqVmDUZEIq8 FLIK posted:This time, most of the lower & mid card AJW sekigun roster goes to train with a loving Karate master on the beach Also, the 1991 tryout sessions! Man, look how many girls showed up for that and realize that'll probably never happen again since this was about the height of AJW's popularity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVM_qiOEkHg

Tsukushi vs. Tsukasa Fujimoto - IW19 Title http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5cMc8jPDZ0 It's a fun, if kind of sloppy, little match although it's about the best you'll get considering Tsukushi's a 13-year-old girl with about a year of experience. Fujimoto heels it up in that she seems to get a kick out of beating up a kid and Emi Sakura completely loses her poo poo on commentary when Tsukushi manages a successful dragon suplex; also Gentaro is one of the other commentators. Anyway, a little background I guess. 19 Pro is a sub-brand of Ice Ribbon that exclusively airs their shows live on ustream a few times a week at 7 PM JST (hence the name); they usually keep each show up for a short time after it airs as well although they're not archived. Anyway this was the finals of a small four person tournament to crown the innagural Internet Wrestling 19 champion. This was 19 Pro's first show back after the earthquake so all four participants (Tsukushi, Fujimoto, Mika Iida and Mochi Miyagi) were from areas most affected by it. The title has a couple rules as well: all matches will have a 19 minute time limit and in case of a draw the champ retains, the champion can choose who they want the challenger to be and when/where the match will take place and any match for the title will be streamed on 19 Pro's official ustream channel. Tsukushi chose Emi Sakura as her first challenger and the match is going to be taking place Sunday at 2 PM JST or about 1 AM EST. So if you feel like watching something at one in the morning on a sunday, well here you go. http://19pro.ne07.jp/ gently caress that was a lot of words for a dumb, short match.

The very beginning with Chii and Kasai and then later on the giant rubber ball are hilarious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pddY3EUu8P0 Sean O'Haire vs. Crowbar from WWE Velocity. The real highlight of the match is Tazz's insane, rambling, nonsensical commentary. "The guy in the ring right there you have had a match with, Crowbar." "Yes but not as Crowbar, he was under a different name. Just like you when you were on Tough Enough... well you were the same name, well actually you were a different name but that's another story." "What the hell are you talking about?!" I have no idea but that was a drop toehold by CROWBAR!"

I'm assuming he probably wasn't that great and given that he was already in his late 30s WWE might've thought it was better to cut their losses. I've always been curious how dark matches like this wind up a.) getting out and b.) why they're recorded by the hard cam almost like a TV match.

Since I nominated it in the MOTY thread, I'll toss up the Youtube link for it for others to watch. Tomoka Nakagawa/Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Chikayo Nagashima/Sonoko Kato, OZ Academy Tag Team Championship http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedRPo6RAvE Sadly since it's a TV airing it's clipped (I think about 8 minutes or so are chopped off) but still. And since I'm not up on my OZ Academy storylines I kind of lack context although from what I figure (going by the opening pacakge), the story is it looks like Jungle Jack 21 beat the champs' team so Nakagawa demands a title match and pulls the old "I'm staying in this ring until I get what I want" deal.

Man, I've spent various times last night/today going to youtube to watch old Beauty Pair/Jackie Sato/pre-Jaguar era AJW stuff and I've come to three conclusions. 1.) It sucks that this stuff is both hard as hell to find and apparently only exists in low quality (video quality, sound skipping, etc) VHS form. 2.) It's nowhere near as technically sound as anything that came post-Jaguar but it's fun as hell. 3.) Mami Kumano is AWESOME at heeling it up and being crazy and trying to murder everyone so here is some Mami Kumano completely ruling. Also fair warning, like I said the quality is crap (hello synch issues) and also they're pretty clipped (basically any time there's a crowd or announcer shot, it's a clip). Mami Kumano vs. Tomi Aoyama, 1979 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxaXXHLvX3I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN19HDhw0Lw Mami tries to kill her with: scissors (I think), a chair, fruit (!!!) and just plain strangulation. Aoyama busts out Shelton Benjamin-style leaping at one point and also a giant swing that would make Claudio proud. Beauty Pair vs. Monster Ripper and Mami Kumano, 19?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMFBFZcqPX4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxsJaEoLK8c Basically school girls screaming for their heroes, Ripper and Mami being awesome and killing refs and pretty girls. Also, sound synch issues out the rear end (at LEAST a good 4 or 5 seconds behind what happens). Put the year as unknown because while the description says 1978 that can't be right because Rhonda Sing didn't debut until 1979. Suben fucked around with this message at 03:36 on May 1, 2011 |
