Awesome August: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Prince Devitt

-

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

Zero One Wrestling - 2007 - Part 1

Happy New Year! If you follow me on PWO then you know I have an interest in Zero One Wrestling. In my own wrestling research, I've found it difficult to get a good read on the promotion. Cagematch has a couple reviews here and there. I would say there's only one person on there that I trust their opinion and taste. So I thought I'd check it out myself by going through what's available online and cherry picking matches that I think look good. Originally I was going to watch a few matches per show but that was way too much. Again, if you've read my other posts here or on PWO, grandpa bought a bunch of DVDs that he's gotta watch. Good news is that I do have a DVD for Zero One and will be covering that later. So I can justify watching a some other stuff online. Anyhow, let's start 2007 Zero One Wrestling! Mammoth Sasaki & Daisuke Sekimoto v Ryoji Sai & Yoshihito Sasaki (01/19) - 15 minutes of hard hitting, fast paced wrestling! My favorite pairing was S...

Bull Nakano in the 1980's

I really dig Joshi puroresu from the 1980's & the 90's. Bull Nakano is one of my favorites but, I never got to see any of her work in the 80's. I started at 1990 with her feud with Aja Kong & Bison Kimura. It's been a long time coming but I finally got to check out the beginning of her career. In the interest of getting a good sampling, I opted for more matches rather than all of the very best bouts. But to make time, I chose matches 15 minutes or less. The exception is the 04/08/86 match which I have on DVD. Everything else I found pretty easily online. OK let's go! Bull vs Yumi Ogura (03/17/84) - Bull is not yet corrupted by the evil forces of chaos! She looks like a normal, unassuming girl here in 1984 and goes by her birth name, Keiko. How sweet! See pic below. But all's not as it seems. Keiko already has a nasty streak. She's biting Ogura and throwing away her ring seconds when Ogura is trying to recuperate on the floor.  Itsuki Yamazaki & ...

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!

April Anarchy: Devil Masami vs Chigusa Nagayo - 04/15/87

Devil Masami vs Chigusa Nagayo (AJW) : This was a great match with high energy & high intensity. It begins with a technical orientation but escalates into a power battle as Devil takes over. This Crush Gal won't quit and rattles Devil with great suplexes and pinning holds. Masami gets frustrated and brings out the weapons and introduces a bit of anarchy into this April match. At under 15 minutes, I give this a Strong RECOMMENDATION as two of the best ever go at it. 👇👇👇Check out the labels below for more. Also look for more April Anarchy matches to come!
