Differ is always silent. Worst venue in wrestling history.

Kawada's run after the NOAH split up to 04' has become underrated imo.

Differ is what non puro fans think is the usual ''japanese'' reaction to matches, just total silence mostly.

I'm going to revist the tags and singles with Tenryu and the Sasaki match soon. Remember loving the Hashimoto match in 04, though I recall some problems with it.

You gonna have fun revisiting that Kawada run. I checked it a couple of years ago for the GWE project and it held up nicely. I still love the Hashimoto match, a lot of people find it overrated but as a stan of both guys, I've always felt satisfied with what they did, specially considering how hurt they were.

:lupe:Brehs is Takayamania up? I want to be all in on the fukkery before ALL IN comes on:banderas:

Not yet in the usual sites at least.

The VK guy has Meiko vs Dino and the latest All Japan show with Zeus vs Shuji, Kento vs Hino and Nomura/Aoyagi vs Omori/Kodaka :ehh:

Actually now I think about it I don't recall having problems with the match but OTHER people did. :patrice: I had it top 5 for the 04 project Ditch ran many years back. Remember the selling was off the chart.

Are there other must see matches around the time frame? There's the Nagata tag match of course. Was there a decent Muto match around then?

Yeah, the Mutoh match is worth a look. Kawada does his best to make him look great. It's not as good as Tenryu/Mutoh but there's no wonder why people were going :ohhh: at Mutoh's renaissance with the new shining wizard gimmick after those matches.

The Kojima match from 01' is also dope imo. Just another good chapter of the NJ vs AJ feud.

I think Ditch has a really fun tag in Korakuen with Kawada facing Tenryu and Fuchi. Can't recall the date though, but it should be praised as a good match in that site because that's why I saw it :heh:

The Ogawa match in Z1 is :banderas: up until the end, as with most good Ogawa matches.

And of course, Kawada vs Shibata :lawd:
