Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[The Intergalactic Koala]

couldnt agree more. my favorite match of the year.

I still get chills from that stare down before the match. I swear Shibata was one of the reasons why I got into NJPW. Dude personify everything I love about puro wrestling from his basic attire, his don't take no shyt attitude, and his storytelling in the ring. Dude makes you believe that wrestling is real because he would die in the ring to prove it. When I found out breh was on the shelf for probably good, I just can't get back into NJPW like I used to regardless of it's boom period. Sure, Naito, Tana and sighs.....Omega are thriving but they are not Shibata. They don't have the fighting spirit of Shibata, or the aura of Shibata.

It was just recently that I watched Choshu's retirement. January of 1998.

Who knows what Jun Kasa's demented ass will do to get that W


I hope Taka disrespects the fukk out of Choshu so we can get a goof fukery sequence

Man, Okada/Shibata was clearly better than all 3 Kenny/Okada matches. A completely different level of storytelling and emotion.

Same reason that Sasha/Bayley in NXT is always referred to as the pinnacle of women's wrestling in WWE when the match Sasha and Becky had in NXT was far better. A rivalry will always be marketed over a single match.
