It's like he hates his body because it't made of flubber.

Toshie Uematsu & Ran Yu-Yu vs. Kiku Kong & Sakura the Butcher

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.
Does Sakura usually do impersonations or was it just an "I'm teaming with Kiku, better do something wacky" thing? Because she's a better Abby in this than the real Abby these days.

Of course she is, the real Abby is in his 70s.
Yes, and he still wrestled in the match directly after that one.

Does anybody have that video where Kikutaro enters a Royal Rumble whilst recording the whole thing with a camcorder? I really want to see that again.

Crosspostin' this from the gif thread:

My first exposure to Dick Togo was this year's King of Trios. Any great shows/matches you can recommend? (He's amazing :swoon:)

Illinois Smith posted:

Segunda Caida has a thing called The Complete & Accurate Dick Togo, where they review matches from his 20-year career, lots of them have Youtube links.

Apart from that, if you like CHIKARA you'll enjoy any match you can find of him in 90s Michinoku Pro. It's all awesome.

Here's some stuff I put on Dailymotion ages ago:
- Sato vs Super Delfin (Mask vs Mask)
- Sasuke, Sato & Shiryu vs Shinzaki, Delfin & Naniwa (Part 2)
- Togo, TAKA & Funaki vs Liger, Hamada & Naniwa
- One of the many crazy epic 10man tags from 1996 (Part 2
- Togo vs Liger in their only singles match ever

Some Youtube links:
- Sasuke, Hamada & Yakushiji vs Togo, Teioh & TAKA (ECW Barely Legal) (Part 2)
- Togo vs TAKA (RAW 1998)
- Togo invades Argentina, carries a low-rent Jack Evans to the match of his life
- Somebody already upped the complete retirement match that all the gifs are from, includes video package & post-match stuff (the same guy also has the rest of the show)

Also, apart from his appearance in CHIKARA, the last year or so of his career had a whole bunch of fantastic matches. Especially his last run with DDT's main belt.

KO-D Openweight Championship matches
- Dick Togo vs Hikaru Sato (Part 2)
- Dick Togo vs Antonio Honda (Part 2)
- Dick Togo vs HARASHIMA (Part 2)
- Dick Togo vs Kota Ibushi (Part 2)
- Dick Togo vs Shuji Ishikawa (Part 2), (Part 3)

SenorLARIATO has taken his talents to Dailymotion, so here's this:


UNION “1…2…3…UNION!”, 03/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

DDT EXTREME TITLE - TLC MATCH;
08. El Generico (c) vs Isami Kodaka


Things to know:
- Generico won the title from Isami back in September
- Isami has since gained the use of a very powerful and awesome special weapon
- Isami is a current BJW tag team champion and regular in their deathmatch division, so a TLC rematch certainly plays right to his strengths

Ibushi vs Generico from last weekend

Kota sure does some crazy poo poo for a guy who returns in this after being injured for 8 months. The part of the intro package where he shows what he's been up to in the meantime (I assume) is wonderfully DDT.

I always assumed that channel was all about them trying to find the next Z! True Long Island Story. 80s Tiger Mask matches in HD were about the last thing I expected to find there, that's pretty rad.

Crosspost from the puro thread:

Here's 5 minutes of clips from a DDT offshoot that took place last March where everyone dressed up as WWE guys.

Features Kiku and Honda as Hogan and Warrior, Okabayashi as Goldberg, Toba as John Cena, Fukuda as Mr. Perfect and I guess Takagi as Vince McMahon at the end.
