Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[The Rainmaker]

The brutality of that match . Suzuki was killing Kana. Even his partner tried to stop him. Can get a little uncomfortable to watch.

 

[Konnan]

Yo wtf

He beating a woman like that

I hope he next on the Styles Clash botch

 

[TrueEpic08]

So just wants people to ignore it I guess.

Tanahashi's never heard of "if it bleeds, it leads"? His argument is basically the equivalent of pissing into the wind.

In addition to that, you'd actually want to cover up behavior like this in some way? Wait, don't answer that...

 

[Da_Eggman]

Geez that bytches twisted smile at the end was pretty disrupting

Seeing how fukked up japan is she prolly become a huge draw now

That's what realistically should happen in a man vs women wrestling match. Those shots aren't even that serious, i'm sure shes ok with that and proly planned it with him plus Suzuki is a former mma athlete he has to look legit and cant let a girl punk him like that. Puro ain't the same as that american wrestling, they treat it as a sport.

Kana isn't afraid of men. Just today on her show, she challenged KENSO for his Gaora TV title, and he apparently accepted after being kicked in the nuts.

Hope she wins. KENSO sucks.

With the stuff we do know, from Gaea Girls, deaths in training, hazing etc, I dread to think of the stuff that has been covered up over the years

Yoshiko has been suspended indefinitely and stripped of the title, match is now a no contest (not that that even matters). The people at the top of Stardom are also taking a 30% pay cut for three months.

Yasukawa’s nose and cheek bone were broken, and she was diagnosed with a concussion due to shaking of both retina. They also stated that her left orbital bone was fractured

Yoshiko speak on microphone, and she say “i’m sorry for this incident between me and Yasukawa, i try to be a professional at this time and ready to get punishment from this company.”

Just because Puro is stiffer than American wrestling doesn' tmean you should bash a bytch head in

It's on her I get it because that's how she decided to make a living but gotdmn

Joshi is even stiffer than puro as most joshi companies train girls to not sell strikes unless they're stiff. Plus, if you peep the gif she didn't cover up until like the 6th slap. Again, MiSu's rep is as a legit killer, he kills his heat if he has a chick in there eating his shots. She's putting herself over by eating the shots, he's gotta protect himself. Thems the breaks

 

[TheDarceKnight]

The picture doesnt look nearly as bad as the video though so at least the picture is somewhat tame

That was my thought

Can you expand on this?

Can you expand on this?

Gaea Girls is a documentary that follows a group of young wrestlers training to debut in a joshi company, just has a ton of brutal training like this:



Whole thing is on youtube I think. There's also other videos that show how violent the AJW training was in the 90's.

Sasaki was allegedly involved in an incident that lead to the death of a younger wrestler in the NJPW dojo:

In an incident in the New Japan Dojo in 1995, he was blamed for the death of a trainee, Hiromitsu Gompei. According to the book, Ring of Hell, he suplexed and worked over the trainee, who he thought was not making enough effort. No charges were ever brought against him.

I believe there was at least one other death too but I can't think of the details right now.

And Ring of Hell has a ton of other horrible stories of the hazing that was carried out in the dojo. Just a different way of doing things. So all this was late 80/90's so i was just wondering at what dirt there would be from earlier on.

 

[Da_Eggman]

To be fair ring of hell has no proven sources

It's like the ultimate horrible shyt rumors book

Fun and interesting read but I took everything with a grain of salt

Thou that part is believable since the New Japan dojo was like a crazy boot camp from hell
