and now /wooo/tube is discussing PAAGs

 

[stro]

I'll be straight up, I've waited years for the guy to join our forum, and may have simply begged outright.

A fellow wrestling fan who I've respected for years, and had me legit shook after catching a bullshyt ban on another forum.

I never thought this would happen, and probably have an unhealthy level of appreciation for this moment

I'm thinking about putting together a Jumbo vs Misawa comp. As long as Ditch's site still works when I need it to.

We started out small in here with just a few, now we've got a whole roster of posters. May we continue to grow and spread the good puro gospel to the rest of TSC

Some notes: The Funks trained Jumbo, so that's why there are so many matches involving them. Takachiho would become the Great Kabuki. Dos Caras is Alberto Del Rio's (Mexico's greatest export) father. Rusher Kimura was an invader from IWE, the third biggest promotion in Japan for most of the 1970s, which would do the first true invasion angle in 1981 that inspired the UWF angle, which inspired UWFI angle, which inspired the NWO angle, which inspired...The Invasion.

Many hours of awesome shyt here. Available to download also if you should so desire. All of it is sourced from Ditch's amazing website, but files there are starting to die off and they aren't streaming. So my plan is to download and reup all of Jumbo's work before it vanishes from the web. I'll be starting to put together 1980-1985 tomorrow.

3 Rainmakers

This was Goto at his best, this was the "Ima Kill Yo Ass"Goto

Was fukking Okada up, i wouldn't have been mad at a title change

 

[Silkk]

Wish gedo would hop off Okada dikk & go find a hobby

 

[JohnB]

At this point Goto is better off being on loan having a run for the title at All Japan or NOAH.

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

That 0-7 graphic for Goto should've just had a big ass L over every loss he's taken in title matches



Goto about to commit that

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

RIP Goto

[The Rainmaker]

I failed Okada and didn't see the match live :okabear2: But I was doing... other stuff

Goto better accept reality and get that second fiddle spot in CHAOS Not even your wacky channeling spirit whatever outfit helped you this time.

The Jr. tag team match was fantastic too.

and @The Rainmaker alone on an island trying to understand what the fukk is going on in Dragon Gate :lonelyokada:

More people needs to love stable-based crazy flippy shyt. It feels lonely in here.
