Cruising the 80's: Killer Khan & Tiger Toguchi vs Dusty & Murdoch - 04/09/82

-

Killer Khan & Tiger Toguchi vs Dusty Rhodes & Dick Murdoch (NJPW): This starts as a good joined in progress tag match. I preferred Tiger & Khan as they were doing some different moves including the under utilized double scoop slam (Strong BJW should have used that one). Where this gets really good is on the floor. Things quickly escalate into a bloody chair swinging brawl. THIS is what you want! If this would have been one of Dusty's Bunkhouse Brawl matches, this was have been awesome. It's only 1982 so we don't get that but savor what we get with this. It's a good time and 8 1/2 minutes.

Cruising the 80's: Tenryu vs Ueda - 07/22/82

-

Genichiro Tenryu vs Umanosuke Ueda (All Japan) - I promise I'm not going to focus only on guys like Ueda & Tiger Toguchi but, damn! These guys are really overlooked and deserve your attention. This bout is a blast, for example. Tenryu takes Ueda's kendo stick right from the start and is cracking him over the head with it. Then these two are just smacking each other around with chairs and fisticuffs for 5 fevered minutes. Next, the camera man wildly spins trying to capture a younger Tiger Jeet Singh rushing to the ring. He attacks Tenryu and only then does ref Joe Higuchi end the match in a DQ 😆 It should have been thrown out from the start! Haha, I'm glad he didn't though! Both guys are bleeding . Tenryu is bathed in the red stuff. The match itself is 5 minutes but the other 6 minutes of 11 minutes is unhinged fighting in the ring, in the crowd and on the way to the locker room. 👇👇👇Click on the labels below for more reviews you might enjoy!

March Mayhem: Dragon Gate vs ROH - 03/30/06

Hi folks! More mayhem and a little bit more of March! We're looking at the Dragon Gate Challenge show from ROH Wrestling from 03/30/06. Ryo Saito vs Jimmy Yang - Very good Jr. wrestling at the ROH speed. It was very enjoyable and an easy watch for any modern wrestling fan. Cool ass finishing move too! AJ Styles & Matt Sydal vs Dragon Kid & Genki Horiguch i - Holy snap! I've seen this a few times and it's still some badass stuff! AJ just muscles the Dragon Gate guys. It looks so uncooperative and great. This feels like a match instead of a routine. Additionally this fight told a story and actually felt like ROH vs Dragon Gate since both teams were baby faces & popular. This one remains a classic  to me. CIMA, Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino vs Austin Aries, Roderick Strong & Jack Evans - This was crazy 80 mph wrestling. The finishing segment was straight bananas. But it's not a complete sprint as Blood Generation slowed it down to let everyone catch the...

Roddy Piper & Dick Slater vs Giant Baba & Genichiro Tenryu (AJPW) : JIP, 6 minutes of super fun pro wrestling action. Hot Rod & Dirty Dick Slater are a great high energy team. They worked so well with Baba and made him look great. Dream pairing with Piper vs Tenryu, we get a brief but satisfying segment with them. And the last couple minutes are awesome with the finish being frenetic and very clever. Go watch this one!! 👇👇👇Check out the labels below for more good stuff! Cruise on through the 80's!

March Mayhem: Sekimoto vs Ishikawa and more - 03/31/15

Hi folks! Wrapping up March Mayhem with a full show review of BJW 03/31/15 . •Yuko Miyamoto & Abdullah Kobayashi & Jaki Numazawa v Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei & Toshiyuki Sakuda - Fun comedy match. I'm guessing Yuko Miyamoto earned a night off. •Masato Inaba & Kazuki Hashimoto & Masaya Takahashi v Tsutomu Oosugi & Hercules Senga & Heddi French - This was a quick, fun all action match. I feel like it was edited down a little bit. Tsutomu Oosugi & Hercules Senga were impressive. Have to keep my eyes open for them in other BJW shows. •Kankuro Hoshino v Ryuichi Sekine *Barbed wire Board Barbed wire Weapon Death Match* This starts out with them wearing kick pads wrapped in barb wire. There's a bat and a chair wrapped in the wire. Plus there's barb wire boards in the corners. This is an easy recommendation! Both guys did an excellent job with their move selection and pacing. Eleven minutes of death match wrestling... emphasis on wrestling. They u...

Early 2000's Puroresu You Might Have Missed

-

I haven't seen it all but contrary to popular belief, early 2000's Japanese wrestling doesn't suck. Is it different than the greatest decade in modern wrestling (1990s) ? Yup but there's plenty of great wrestling to enjoy. I think the inter-promotional stuff is very interesting and although it would stay a part of puro, it was best when it was fresh & new. You might be familiar with a couple of these but there's a bunch that I think flew under the radar or have been forgotten about: Curry Man, CIMA & Super Boy vs Minoru Fujita, Shiryu II & Jody Fleisch (M-Pro 12/21/99) A few days short of 2000 but I'm counting it! Akitoshi Saito & Jun Akiyama vs Takao Omori & Takashi Sugiura (06/16/01) NOAH Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Jun Akiyama (07/27/01) NOAH Jado & Gedo vs The Great Sasuke & Tiger Mask IV (M-Pro 08/19/01)  Kentaro Shiga & Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Naohiro Hoshikawa & Tatsuhito Takaiwa  (ZERO1  09/15/2001)  Naomichi Marufuji vs. Naoh...
