Let me know if you find it. I'd like to send him a fruit basket.
Man, I can understand why people would not like Tanahashi due to booking, but if you just look at his performances in a vacuum, he's really fucking good at what he does. Everything is just perfectly fluid and his timing is impeccable.

Ok guys, need some more matches to put on the list for my friend. Remember, he wants entertaining matches and stiff stuff, so give me some recs!
You can witness the wonder of The Young Bucks.
And it's all free this Friday on http://rohwrestling.com/tv/current
Don't miss it, fans.
The thing with Tanahashi is how the internet portrays him. He gets labeled as the NJPW version of John Cena but people fail to see he lives up to main event status. Dude can adapt to any match like a sponge and make every wrestler look good...compared to Cena where it's hit and miss....mostly miss :/

Sony are mainly worried about money. The major cinema chains refused to run the movie so they were going to lose out by pimping it out next week in 7 tiny arse theatres. Releasing it VOD means losing a shitload of cash on it too, especially since people are saying the returns from that would be less than just shelving it and taking the insurance payout.
Plus if they did release it and someone was killed, even if it was just some nutjob unrelated to the hackers/NK, the public image of Sony would be fucking destroyed.

Sorry, bro. Here's a rainmaker gif I just made to cheer you up.
You can see this and more in the NJPW: Road to Tokyo Dome review I just wrote and published. It's right here:

Go fuck yourself.
Okay, I dig Honma's headbutts. Just really damn funny. Reminds me of Santino.
Assuming Honma did it first.
This is absolutely stupid and life threatening to his health. I cringe to see his MRI in a few years.
He does it every match. He also usually does 2-3 (sometimes more) falling headbutts. You'd think after all the guys that had serious issues after doing the diving headbutt as a regular move that he'd go full bore like he does.
I feel like the diving headbutt really isn't dangerous unless you make it dangerous. Like you'd have to be enough of an idiot to smash your head into the mat for real. I assume most people don't do that.
I've heard it causes neck problems, which I believe. But I don't buy that the headbutts cause CTE and make people kill their family or whatever.

Honma's voice is already fucked up and destroyed you think he would leave the neck up alone
It's not the smashing your head into stuff that is the problem. It's the rattling caused by taking the bump over and over. Your brain is bouncing around in your head every time you take that bump, no matter how safely you take it. And he does it ALL THE TIME. He's done it to the floor before.
Wouldn't that also be true for any top rope bump though? Or is it just that most guys don't bother putting their hands up when they do it?

But according to the law of pro-wrestling, if you aren't white, you have a hard head gimmick. So he's fine.
Considering that Honma comes from a deathmatch background, I don't think he's much on playing it safe.
It's a stupid bump and a stupid move even in kayfabe. Why would you do a headbutt to the shoulder from the top rope? Almost anything else would be more effective and safer. A stomp. An elbow drop. A knee drop.
On a related note I feel bad for Fandango getting stuck with a top rope leg drop. I guess as a total jobber heel he has the advantage of not having to do it much. But that's got to fuck up your tailbone short term and probably your spine long term.

At 16:36, Lex Luger vs. Buff Bagwell is the longest match from Starrcade 97. What the fuck?
I've been catching up on some old Stone Cold podcasts and he mentioned something that stuck out to me. He said that WWE has always been a promotion based on a single babyface that basically carried the company. Everything revolved around the top babyface and everything else was basically secondary.
On the other hand, NWA was a "heel" promotion, where the heels were the top dogs and the faces were always fighting to try beat the heels. Considering the time Dusty Rhodes spent in NWA, I think his booking philosophy for NXT borrows a lot from that concept. That's why we see the champs almost always become heels, and why R:Evolution wasn't allowed to have a "happy" ending. I wouldn't say that that's necessarily the only reason why I enjoy NXT more than WWE, but that booking style avoids the pitfall of having the same babyface winning the same types of matches the same way for an entire decade.

Rude can destroy a mans soul just by giving him the perfect smarmy look, before flexing the great body in the world right in their face.
Damn I miss Rick Rude

That kind of booking is usually so the babyface can get the all important "you deserved it" title reign instead of just having placeholders until the top guy wins it back

First time I saw him doing it I thought "if he keeps doing that, he won't be able to walk by the time he retires".
I think I pinpointed the exact moment Marty's life went wrong
When Double A decapitated him.
I love the post decapitation celebration

Arn Anderson looked like the meanest high school shop teacher you've ever seen, but at least he didn't hide behind a vest.

You can actually see Marty hit rock bottom.

Remember when they re-hired Marty Jannetty in 2006 for the ECW relaunch then they fired him because he fucked up again, but he SWORE for six months that he was still under contract and they must have gotten him confused with The Boogeyman's release because his real name was Marty Wright? He held on to that story forever.
We tried giving North Korea democracy with the slow burn method of giving them professional wrestling, but it looks like that hasn't worked. Time for the old fashioned way if "sanctions" don't work.
You know, if he doesn't defect again.
No, I don't. I thought the last time they hired him was for the HBK/Kurt feud and he was going to stick around for a while, but ended up not being allowed in some of the states they travelled to...
Come on, even Scott Hall is allowed in all states.

Nope. That motherfucker had a Rigmas jacket!
Arn kinda looks like Kevin Steen here, but classier. And not dressed like a shitty backward wrestler from the 90s.
no hams tho

What was Arn like outside the ring? I never really looked into it, but from what little I've seen he seems like a pretty nice guy
