Wrestling Dream Battles

Shinya Hashimoto vs Shiro Koshinaka (08/06): joined in progress but really good stuff. 8 of 12 punishing minutes. And a bit of post match melee as well! Jushin Liger & Tatsumi Fujinami vs Pegasus Kid & Jim Neidhart (08/06): Very fun, all action tag match. The teams were excellent pairings and everything felt really good although I can't recall if they teamed before or since. Liger was in the ring for his team a majority of the time so, you can't go wrong there. 10 minutes of excellent tag wrestling 🙂 08/11 Shinya Hashimoto & Osamu Kido vs Shiro Koshinaka & Kengo Kimura (08/11): 10 minutes of chaotic wrestling goodness. Akitoshi Saito & Aoyagi are at ringside and are jacking Hash & Kido up! Dusty Rhodes is in the stands (in official context) and is enjoying this one.  Super Strong Machine vs Arn Anderson (08/12): Good meat & potatoes wrestling by two of the best big enforcer type wrestlers, in my opinion. Big impact moves at the end. Nice stuff at 8 ...

Jumbo Tsuruta & Giant Baba vs Mil Mascaras & Dos Caras (AJPW 08/24/78 - 08/25 TV) : 2 out of three falls. First fall is longer, technical and exciting. Jumbo & Dos Caras are featured most. Second fall is quicker with Baba getting chippy and Mil responding. Big moves from the masked brothers. Third fall is even quicker and we get the conclusion. This was such an easy match to enjoy. Exciting, technically oriented wrestling done in the NWA style. Big Recommendation!

W*ing Kanemura vs Masato Tanaka (FMW - 08/02/97) : Electrified Barb wire match. 13 minutes of death match wrestling done right! They had a great match and worked in some nice spots with the gimmick. They weren't crazy with most just being whipped or knocked back into the stuff. Personally, I think taking the turn buckles away from these two hurt what could have been... you're taking away Tanaka's Frog splash & tornado DDT as well as W*ing's senton splash. Still great stuff and Recommend it to fans of either! 👇👇👇 Click the labels below for similar stuff. Check out the most popular posts too!

Tatsumi Fujinami vs Greg Valentine (NJPW 08/13/82) : Fujinami vs Valentine in '82? Hot damn! Sign me up! And this absolutely delivered! Both guys were beating the sweat off of each other. The Dragon used his drop kicks but Greg was definitely "The Hammer." He was pounding Fujinami with elbows, over hand chops & clubbing fists to the sternum. To make matters worse, Dick Murdoch was his ring second. The Texas red neck wasn't shy about interfering (but not too much). I LOVED this match. A near classic battle! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for fans of either. 👇👇👇 Click the labels below for more 1980's wrestling recommendations!

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Prince Devitt (08/12/10) : G1 match. Wow! Holy cow, that was a great little match! Nice wrestling to start. Tanahashi works Devitt's leg which they actually come back to later (although wish they would have revisited in the final third). Great finishing stretch nonetheless and an excellent wrestling match. RECOMMENDED I'm still working on my New Japan 2010 project. If you missed it, check out my look at 2010 Best of the Super Junior Tournament . Click the yellow text and it'll take you right to it 👍

Go Shiozaki vs Austin Aries (6th Anniversary - 02/23/08): Holy shit! This was awesome! Aries knows how to work with NOAH guys. The size difference made for some fantastic counters & reversals. The story is the smaller Austin chipping away at the larger Go. I'm glad that they don't pretend that Aries is the same size as the NOAH native. But don't misunderstand, they still beat the crap outta each other! This is exactly what I hoped for with this bout. It's a hard hitting match with great, great pacing. It's a match that reminded me why I love ROH. And this one is a classic - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 👇👇👇 Click the labels below for more stuff you'd like!
