Wrestling Dream Battles

Tatsumi Fujinami vs El Solitario (05/10/79 NJPW) : Wow! 10 minutes of aggressive yet sportsman-like chain wrestling. Absolutely enthralling stuff. A technical wrestling fan's dream...I LOVED IT. All Time Classic in my book! This felt perfect to me. If you're interested, MUST SEE. Check out my Cruising the 80's series 👍 Or check out the labels below.

Roddy Piper & Dick Slater vs Ashura Hara & Mighty Inoue (AJPW) : Writing this one for myself like the other one...as it it'll float like a turd in a pool. Still its good to have these up for posterity. Perhaps future generations will find value in this 🤔 In any case, this is a very fun tag match. It is especially true if you're a fan of Piper who provides a lot of the character to this match. I don't know if he did more than one tour in Japan but, his charisma is international. Dick Slater provide the moves as he and Mighty Inoue do some really good stuff for '83. This is not a secret hidden gem match but it is a good time. If anybody reads this and is making a Piper playlist on YouTube, this is a good one to add! 👇👇👇Check out the labels below for more good stuff! Also use the archives to look at older posts. You're missing a lot of good stuff. 

  Zero One Wrestling • Yujiro & Tetsuya Naito v Osamu Namiguchi & Shito Ueda: Pretty fun little match. Simple but effective tag wrestling. Seriously, U.S. wrestling should just aim for this instead of over complicating everything. •Takao Omori v Kohei Sato: I'm not sure how this was edited time wise. Maybe half was shown of 10 minutes. What we got was enjoyable stuff.  •Daisuke Sekimoto v Kamikaze: 7 of 11 minutes. Holy cow! This was a hard hitting yet surprising little sprint. Kamikaze is an excellent mid card bruiser who pairs well with Sekimoto. This was a blast if you like lariats and suplexes! •Ikuto Hidaka & Munenori Sawa v Masaaki Mochizuki & Minoru Tanaka: Junior shoot-style brawl? That's a good way to describe this bout. They were haphazardly kicking each other all match. There's a lot of animosity here. This was really exciting and although a bit frenetic, it sold the hate. I definitely want to see more of these guys squaring off in '08. So it ...

Genichiro Tenryu & Randy Savage vs Yoshiaki Yatsu & Haku (SWS) : Man, this starts off with a bang! A real melee...this was GREAT! Macho's diving off the top & bleeding , Yatsu & Haku are stomping on Tenryu's face like they are trying to stamp out a fire. I LOVED THIS ONE. Haku is perfect in Japan - watch all of his SWS stuff 😄 Tenryu & Yatsu never have liked each other and are excellent foes. When I named the blog, Wrestling Dream Battles, this was the type of match that I was thinking about. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED stuff especially if you're a fan of any of these dudes! Check the pic out, Haku is about to take a flying leap!  👇👇👇 Check out the labels below for more good stuff!

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!

Hey you guys! More Madness! This time we're looking at Michinoku Pro Wrestling in 1999. " Evil" Great Sasuke & Masaaki Mochizuki vs Gran Hamada & Tiger Mask IV (01/10/99 Michinoku Pro) : This was very good, heated stuff! Excellent action when both pairs interacted. I've seen this given 2 stars (**!?) but this is much better than that. 11 minutes. Great Sasuke vs Jinsei Shinzaki (04/27/99): Yes! This was a great match. I loved all of the twists and surprises. Sasuke had a counter or reversal for Shinzaki at nearly every turn. It's probably not as got as their 1994 match but it's absolutely worth your time. Strongly RECOMMENDED Masaaki Mochizuki, Gran Naniwa & Pablo Marquez vs Great Sasuke, Magnum Tokyo & Kendo (04/29) : 10 of 26 minutes. What we get is pretty damn great. Great tag moves, dives & the other good stuff you want from these guys. Very good stuff!  Going to be watching more Michinoku '99. This is really good stuff and hasn...

Randy Savage & Haku vs Genichiro Tenryu & George Takano (SWS) : First off, if you're born in the 2000's or 2010's, all that neon spandex is real 😄 That actually could be bought at a sporting goods store at the mall. Anyhow, we get a heck of a matchup. Takano is just a partner to Tenryu. He is alright here but you're watching this for Randy & Haku vs Tenryu. Randy does so many little great things trying to goad the SWS ace. The action is right in line with what you would see during the 80's with All Japan and you'll get no complaints from me. Haku is a perfect fit for Japan. He stomps Tenryu's head so many times that the Japanese icon starts bleeding ! Yes, from there this match gets great. Randy is loading up punches to the gash. And this starts to get a bit chaotic (good). And then it gets even better when a chair is brought into the mix. From there, things go off the rails and like any good promotion, this sets up more drama & dissension.....
