February 12, 20187 yr comment_5832091 Baba had to have known when he brought the R&Rs in that there was no way Hansen was going to sell for them. He should've just brought in Morton and had him team with Jumbo or Tenryu.
February 12, 20187 yr comment_5832116 I'm gonna catch up on the stuff I need to watch, meanwhile if you had me I'll send you here Kenta Kobashi vs Takao Omori https://youtu.be/TRGaunXSSkk
February 12, 20187 yr comment_5832119 Astro Boy, that was a good match between Scorpio and Necro. I liked that they worked more of a Scorpio paced match and the fact that Necro could grapple with him. This was good
February 13, 20187 yr comment_5832150 Just wanna give a heads-up that I'll skip this week since I got a truckload of work ahead of me. I'll try to still review the match that was given to me last week.
February 13, 20187 yr comment_5832200 I'll have my review up this week, but I'll be traveling a ton next week and should probably skip this one.
February 13, 20187 yr comment_5832217 For you, SPS, I picked Kazuo Yamazaki vs Norman Smiley from the UWF (11/06/1988) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojVKp88T_Yc Finallt got my review up a day late, http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/41119-kazuo-yamazaki-vs-norman-smiley-uwf-061188/ here were my thoughts overall, "Overall a good but not great match from the early part of Newborn UWF. Norman was obviously not experienced in this style but made an effort to use his english pro wrestling style as realistically as possible and the crowd really seemed into him as they popped quite a bit for his offence. I'd give this match *** and it's a good match that's not too long by Newborn UWF standards so it's a solid way for a wrestling fan familiar with the likes of a Norman Smiley but not with UWF to get their feet wet and check out the style and work from that group." Thanks again to SirEdger and I look forward to the next one. Overall a good but not great match from the early part of Newborn UWF. Norman was obviously not experienced in this style but made an effort to use his english pro wrestling style as realistically as possible and the crowd really seemed into him as they popped quite a bit for his offence.

February 14, 20187 yr comment_5832276 Word. I'll have my review of last week's match up tomorrow. If no one jumps back in tomorrow, just gimme a week off. Ain't no thing, I'm still down for the project. Tomorrow's my only day off in the space of eleven, though.
February 14, 20187 yr comment_5832277 For Matt d I have decided to go with a match from noah last year between marufuji and kaito kiyomiya a big hope for Noah's future and at the time of this match just 1 year into his career. It is a match between the older ace at the end of his tenure as top guy and a young boy. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/36925-naomichi-marufuji-vs-kaito-kiyomiya-noah-012117/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=At9B4o4E0jQ
February 14, 20187 yr Author comment_5832293 Far out of my wheelhouse. Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks. You haven't been with us all that long, so I only have some sense of what you've seen and what you haven't, so here's something from my wheelhouse, but set in Japan. It's slightly JIP after the entrances, but you only lose two minutes. Terry Funk vs Nick Bockwinkel (07/12/1983) http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/34313-terry-funk-vs-nick-bockwinkel-ajpw-071283/

Your match is -- Terry Funk vs. Virgil, NWC 10/7/95 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8shykrinpoY&t=1006s Very few things excite me more in wrestling than watching Terry Funk in something I've never seen before, so thank you for this. That was a wild brawl and fun ass fuck to watch. Commentary was top notch too. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/41126-terry-funk-vs-virgil-nwc-21195/

February 14, 20187 yr comment_5832321 My match assignment from southofheavy was Masahiro Chono and Sabu vs. Tatsumi Fujinami and Junji Hirata in a SUPERHARD SYNDROME match from the 1/4/95 Dome show. We get off to a hot start with a Pearl Harbor job from SabCho, and Sabu hits a nice crossbody off a chair on the entrance ramp. Things settle down after Sabu accidentally dropkicks Chono. I enjoyed Chono and Hirata being dicks to each other (I especially liked Hirata putting Chono in the STF). But Sabu was mostly useless and looked lost whenever he didn't have a chair at his disposal, although I did get a kick out of Fujinami showing absolutely no respect for his offense. There was a spot near the end when Sabu legdropped Hirata through a table (or tried to at least-damn those unbreakable Japanese tables) only for Hirata to get up like nothing had happened. I don't know if he was supposed to roll out of the way and mistimed it or just felt like no-selling, but it was pretty funny. SabCho picks up with win with a chairshot followed by a Yakuza Kick. Pretty middling overall. Still, good on Sabu for getting a Tokyo Dome payday.
February 14, 20187 yr comment_5832343 Alright for dawho5 since from a quick browse of his profile seems to have seen a bit of everything, I have chosen a match I really enjoyed just for the novelty of seeing it in their WWF years of Bret Hart vs Dynamite Kid from 09/14/85, it was on one of Bret's DVD releases a few years back. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31v8pq
February 15, 20187 yr comment_5832384 I've just been hit with a big project at work, and I better step aside from the game for now. Matt D, I think you have an extra person? They can take my spot. Rah and I have not exchanged matches yet.
February 15, 20187 yr Author comment_5832398 southofheavy, you know your schedule. If you want to pair with Rah, great. If not, I'll double up gladly. Let us know. If we don't hear by tomorrow morning, I'll pair with Rah too.

(With all of two data points), I much prefer old Marufuji to young Marufuji and Kiyomiya feels like someone to watch (not that I actually watch anyone from NOAH, but hey, maybe I should). Thanks for this.
February 15, 20187 yr comment_5832405 Kronos sent me a match via PM. I'll gladly take it on in the interrim.
February 15, 20187 yr comment_5832419 Tim Evans, here's something that popped up in my Youtube feed recently. Match date is 3/26/17.
