He was so underused in WCW.

Not sure if many people knew about this, I sure didn't.

Jumbo's son Yuji has a facebook page were he posts all kinds of dope stuff about his pop. Matches, photos and memorabilia. Check it out

He recently posted the Jumbo vs Choshu match that I don't think it was ever online as it didn't even make the DVDVR All Japan 80's set (it wasn't considered that good by the committee)

@stro you might appreciate this more than most

Says a lot about how NJPW views Shibata that they allowed him to take two Ls in ROH. Shame

Breh will never stopped getting punished for leaving. It's a pretty interesting look at the difference in cultures when you see how NJPW has treated Shibata for fukking off to do his own shyt as compared to how WWE treated Brock for the same thing.

He was so underused in WCW.

dude was legit one of my favorite wrestlers....

though I barely saw him wrestle and even more rarely saw him win.

He just..... looked like he should be fukking folks up. And that shoulderbreaker finish looked horribly painful

Billy Gunn says he's been booked by NJPW for the Tag League

411MANIA | Billy Gunn Says He’ll Be Working NJPW’s World Tag League Tournament

– Billy Gunn recently appeared on episode two of X-Pac 1,2,360, here are the highlights…

In His WWE Tryout: “They watched us work, we went into the office and this is when Vince would still kind of talk to you when you’re getting hired. Me and Bart went in there and Vince said, hey we liked what we saw, we’d like to bring you in, and I said to Vince, well Vince I have a job during the week. Can I just do this on the weekend? And he laughed at me and then goes, no I think you’ll be alright.”

On Working For New Japan: “Let’s just put it this way. I am in talks with New Japan. They have this big tag tournament every year, from the middle of November to the middle of December. So they called me and asked if I would like to do it, and of course I jumped at it because there’s not a lot of stuff that I haven’t done in 27 years of working in this industry, most of them in WWE.”

On a Possible WWE Return: “Well I don’t know about that. I started with WWE, I got fired once and came back, got fired, came back, so now I’m fired again. So if you’re asking me, would I like to? Yes, I would love to, because I love to coach. And I love being at the Performance Center.”

Perennial NOAH loser Genba Hirayanagi retired today.

Genba was still wrestling? I guess that tells you how much I've been following NOAH.
