The longest roh show I went to was glory by honor 7 which had something like 5 title matches two 30 minute intermissions and a really long war games match. I got to see my hero kensuke sasaki wrestle though so everything was worth it. The longest wrestling show I went to was this most recent wrestlemania where me and my friends accidentally showed up early because we forgot about time zones and then we got trapped in the death line for a train, we just eventually walked through the rain up Paterson Plank Road until we found a gas station and took a $140 uber from there. The experience itself was a little over 12 hours but we watched Chase Owens try to carry up way too much Mediterranean Food through the hotel and that almost made it worth it.

Make young was absolutely as bad as moolah. She lived with her for the majority of her later years in life and was as big a part in squashing womens wrestling out in the US as Moolah.

The Young Bucks and Ohno were doing Mocap for a couple of the games in the last few years. I remember the SAFETY OF THE MOVES being totally ridiculous at times. I think it was either 12 or 13 that featured a Package Piledriver which was a package piledriver setup, but then delicately dropping the wrestler on their chest instead of their head.

fatherofmustard posted:What led to the decline in popularity of women's wrestling in Japan? it was a combination of a lot of things, lots of splinter groups popping up which caused the fan bases to dilute and stars leaving/retiring young because of archaic rules and policies some of the bigger promotions had (a common one was being forced to retire when you reached the ripe old age of 26), but most importantly the japanese economy took a horrific hit in the 1990s and money in the joshi feds were some of the quickest to dry up, AJW, the main joshi promotion, seemingly overnight losing nearly their entire roster and a key tv time slot on local television. this probably wasn't helped with the rising popularity of UWFi and pancrase, which led to pride just basically taking over wrestling's spot in the culture popularity wise.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Double-post, but what the gently caress? Taker gives Triple H a stinger with the Tombstone, so everybody else is now prohibited from doing piledrivers...except Taker. And Kane. this is like when billy kidman, known fucker-upper of the shooting star press, crushed chavo's orbital with a shooting star press and wwe in retaliation banned the move from everyone except kidman. then when paul london started using a 450, vince fined him because he was told "no more shooting star." london explained he did a 450, not a shooting star, so vince's solution was to ban that move too.

anarchy pro out of austin runs The Mohawk, a fairly small and outdoor concert venue. wrestlers used to be able to do dives and flips from the balcony but the owners don't let that happen anymore since they can't afford an ambulance on standby.

i was watching an old roh dvd (ring of homicide 2) and saw daizee haze vs billie kay. this was over 11 years ago. who are some other wrestlers that had some pretty obscure beginnings in semi major feds (roh, pwg, tna, etc) that wound up later getting a wwe main roster spot?

if you're okay with goin through the back catalog njpw world is a good investment but they don't have any scheduled shows for the next few weeks due to covid concerns, iwtv has a lot of unique content and you get access to black label pro, beyond, chikara and more.

BodyMassageMachine posted:The Wrestling What-If thread got me thinking: what happened with Chris Hero/Kassius Ohno? Dude went from Indy Darling to Hopeful NXT prospect hampered by injury/fat, back to grizzled Indy Darling, back to NXT gatekeeper? he's quietly transitioned into more of a coach/trainer role with NXT and gets a good enough salary to not have to keep up the hustle of working indies anymore. He was most recently wrestling for NXT UK which im sure was just something he requested so he could remain a global guy and whenever NXT Japan starts up i would not be shocked to see him as one of the starting players for that.
