Great fuck in the sky! And I'm only 53 seconds in. 0_o

 

[fennec fox]

That makes me want to watch wrestling.

 

[Biff Hardbody]

TM and DK are my favorite juniors ever. They fucking rule so hard. I am glad at least some people here appreciate them.

 

[karasu]

you got any more stuff like this?

 

[Biff Hardbody]

Unfortunately, no. TM and DK are one of a kind. You can find classic WWF stuff on Kazaa, but nothing I've seen like these guys.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Damn i only saw Dynamite Kid when he was with the British Bulldogs I Never knew he could pull off shit like this. WOW.

 

[Ripclawe]

[Brian Fellows]

Damn those guys are craaaaazy.

 

[Triumph]

Holeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee shit.

Makes me almost want to cry, thinking about the shit that masquerades as wrestling these days. I would pay $50 for the opportunity to see what Dynamite in his prime and Chris Benoit in his could do. Just the one match, and I'm pretty sure it would be more than worth the money.

 

[Minotauro]

Awesome, awesome shit.

While we're on the subject, who was Tiger Mask during that period?

I also want to echo Duke's statements. Watching RAW and then watching some of those clips make me feel sick to my stomach. Man, I really need to get back into puroresu. Anyone have any hints on where to start?

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

They sure dont make them like they used to.

and man its no wonder he is in a wheelchair now some of those shots...urgh

 

[Kintaro]

Awesome, awesome shit.

While we're on the subject, who was Tiger Mask during that period?

Satoru Sayama. The original Tiger Mask. His bouts with DK were so ahead of their time it's not even funny.

TM II - Mitsuharu Misawa (who goes on to arguably become the best all around wrestler in the world...ever. Edit: Actually, I'd make him second. Jumbo Tsuruta is #1)

TM III - Koji Kanemoto who is DAMN good Jr.

TM IV - Complete mystery. Born in Michinoku Pro, his real name and such has not been released. He's just Tiger Mask. Currently in NJPW doing VERY well.

Cool. Thanks for all the great info. I assumed the guy in the vid was Sayama. It was either him or Misawa and he seemed to be a bit quicker than Misawa is.

 

[shoplifter]

Sayama was just fucking amazing back then. Hell, he was still on it at that Michinoku/WWF/ECW show they did a few years back in Japan.

 

[Biff Hardbody]

What have you seen? I dropped out of puro for awhile, I'm mostly on an older WWF kick right now. You know, Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Rick Rude ecd. They aren't puro Gods, but that's not what I want right now. Like you and others, I'm burnt/grossed out on todays product.

Anyhow, I'm unsure of who the top dogs in puro are now, but there are some kick ass All Japan tapes I used to watch. Giant series '99, Kenta Kobashi: At my best, anything with Vader in All Japan, Best of Misawa volume 1 is great (Has some TM tapes and his stuff against Gordy, Kawada).

I've watched and rewatched this hilite so many times....I hear some people call their matches sloppy, and the old NWA fans really seem to have a hard on about dissing Sayama...but for my opinion, a good TM/DK is one of the best matches you'll ever see.

Back when I watched puro regularly, I watched stuff like this. As far as I can tell, AJPW is in much worse shape than they used to be. They have Kawada and Muto but it seems like NOAH took the majority of their top tier guys--Misawa, Kobashi, Akiyama, etc. Other than NOAH, I think NJPW is supposed to be pretty good. There also seems to be a lot of overlap between them and MMA--shit, Fujita is their heavyweight champ. Other than NJPW, there are a lot of worked shoot feds making waves.

A few years ago, I was also a big fan of Toryumon. Do you know if they are still one of the top junior indies?
