Posted February 3, 20178 yr comment_5786998 I cagematched Joe Malenko and noticed these: http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75810&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75811&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75812&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75813&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75814&page=2 New Japan has had about a million attempts at forming subsidiaries (the latest being LOCK-UP, NEVER and NOAH) and one that's basically MUGA/Dradition ten years before that promotion came to life sounds dope. Has anyone heard of this previously? Was it taped? Any good?

February 4, 20178 yr comment_5787128 These main events look awesome. Should send an email to Lynch maybe?
February 8, 20178 yr comment_5787666 With the guys like Bacon & Rigby who came from catch or boxing backgrounds, it has a really weird early ZERO-1 feeling.
July 5, 20178 yr comment_5806175 I got 3 discs from Quebrada: http://www.quebrada.net/videos/Muga1.html This is fucking awesome stuff. If anyone has more 90s MUGA, contact me because I'll pay you in gold. More reviews will come later. So far I watched 2/3 discs, and every single match has been worthwhile. The main events kick ass.
July 5, 20178 yr comment_5806176 I got 3 discs from Quebrada: http://www.quebrada.net/videos/Muga1.html Mike is still selling stuff ? I'm amazed !
July 8, 20178 yr comment_5806545 Yeah, and he even offers downloads! Pretty cool for eurofolks like me who wish to dodge shipping costs. Thoughts on all 3 discs: 1 - the commercial tape: the Takaiwa vs. Shoda (Masada) rookie squash is fun and violent. Everything else is great. This is a keeper for sure. 2 - the 1998 show: I loved this show because every match was a fun, inventive grappling heavy 10 minute match between two young guys/girls and the main event was a hidden gem. 3 - the 1999 show: this is the least of the 3 shows but still fun to watch. Satomura/Kato, the Aoyagi match and the main event were the best matches. Also Kurashima almost killed his opponent in the opener with 2 ganso bombs.
July 8, 20178 yr comment_5806547 Yeah, and he even offers downloads! Pretty cool for eurofolks like me who wish to dodge shipping costs. I spent ridiculous money 17/18 years ago getting tapes from Poughkeepsie to my little town in France so I could watch japanese wrestling. Good for him he's still going on !

Same here although I'm in the States. He was my first place to get tapes/DVDs of puro & joshi. His reviews were always in depth & well thought out. I'll still refer to his site for dates, obscure match participants, show locations, take on matches etc. Its a great resource!
July 17, 20178 yr comment_5807511 Damn, I wanna see pre-Z1 Fugo Fugo. But I guess that the Lancashire stuff is lost.
