NJPW Wrestling World In Tokyo Dome 1997 - 04/01/1997

Junji Hirata, Manabu Nakanishi, Osamu Nishimura & Satoshi Kojima vs. Kazuo Yamazaki, Osamu Kido, Takashi Iizuka & Yuji Nagata A cool collection of midcarders with a few high profile names (at the time) like Hirata and Yamazaki. Nakanishi look funny in this era of his career. He’s shed the singlet but now looks like a lumpy Hiroshi Hase cosplayer with his long hair. The match I saw was a clip version because the new NJPW World site is absolutely shocking. But I didn’t expect much regardless. It’s like previous openers at the dome. Maybe more pro-style than the last but it was a decent in and out match to get these wrestlers on the card. **1/2 Koji Kanemoto vs. Super Liger Oh yes, the infamous Super Liger gimmick. Jericho isn’t my favourite wrestler but he didn’t deserve this. Not everyone can be a mask wrestler and Jericho really isn’t and was never skillful enough to be that. There is this innate skill that’s needed. Not even his opponent could do it. But regardless, this isn’t...

Bret Hart vs Ric Flair - WCW Debut

Bret Hart vs Ric Flair - WCW/nWo Souled Out 1998 - 24/01/1998 This was an outstanding way to put over Bret on his debut in terms of actual wrestling. The fans aren't hot for this, in a typical in-out sort of way. They are kind of invested but don't make much noise, possibly because of audio issues. But nevertheless, Flair does a terrific job is making Bret seem always better than him while a finding tricks to put a chink in Bret's armour as to keep this competitive enough for a semi main event. Bret completely bests Flair early on, overcoming all the little things Flair usually does to establish dominance. Bret works with a meanness. He's not afraid to slap Flair in the mouth, play a little dirty or throw a punch or two. Flair works the leg as does Bret but ultimately Bret kept getting the best of Flair until he beats Flair with tue Sharpshooter. It's a simple match. Not much drama or electric dream match atmosphere, but the great, earnest fundamentals and strong ex...

NJPW Fighting Spirit 1997 - Day 10 & Day 11 (Kimura/Fujinami vs Muto/Hirata & Otani vs Liger Classic)

Koji Kanemoto & Shinjiro Otani vs. El Samurai & Jushin Thunder Liger - NJPW Fighting Spirit 1997 - Day 10 - 08/02/1997 Now this is the Juniors at their best. Fast paced, intense wrestling. Forget the tedious grappling matches that no one cares about, this is where the division shines. It’s certainly where El Samurai shines. The match begins with an aggressive lock up between Liger and Otani, setting the tone for the match it’ll be before Liger and Samurai take control. They are solid, fast and mean on top. Liger even taunts Kanemoto in the corner while he works over Otani. Very heelish, but Otani and Kanemoto work with the same tempo. That’s what I like about New Japan in this era. There is no clear dynamic between face and heel. It’s a lot more blurred in the more general cases. Everyone is nasty. It’s just a matter of who is more popular. The match progresses further when Otani, who is all bloody in the nose throws Liger into the crowd and teases hitting his swan dive bu...
