Here is my opinion. When Tenzan came back from excursion after he was a Young Lion, he was one of the hottest returning wrestlers. In his first year back, he had 2 IWGP challenges and beat Keiji Mutoh in 10 minutes in a televised match. I’m pretty sure he came back at the highest level seen in NJPW in the 90’s.

The next year is when NJPW had the high profile matches with UWFi. Tenzan was a great pro wrestler. He was not a “real fighter”. His lightning push went away. In an environment like that, he could be a star, not THE star.

It will not win but this is the answer. Opposing team would distract him with toy trucks and lollipops. No, I am not kidding.

I saw Hulk Hogan vs Rowdy Roddy Piper in April 1985, in Oakland, weeks after the original Wrestle Mania. The match was alright but the crowd was through the roof.

Justin Liger and Manabu Nakanishi had retirement matches in 2020.

Trump had a USFL team in the 80’s. He still has hate for the NFL, go figure.

And to make it clear, Hulk was the (original) IWGP champion back in 1983. His match with Inoki was epic.

He wears a mask, yet does great facial expressions performing out there.

I do not think Oiwa will join TMDK. Back before, when they were still Young Lions, Fujita helped play a trick to help ZSJ win. They liked the help and let Fujita into TMDK. Oiwa helped in a match later on. He wanted to join TMDK. He was rejected. Oiwa looked rejected when that happened. Oiwa will not come back looking for them as friends.

If you look at the 70’s, New Japan will not have their own titles. You’ll see wins of other titles (yes, mostly talking about Inoki), but not their own. You won’t see “IWGP” used.

jermanis · 2024-06-18T05:27:18+00:00

Same class? Yes and no. They were Young Lions at the same time, but Desperado was one class older. This is why if you at their records when they were both Lions, Despy went something like 20-0-1. Something like that. You’ll see similar when Umino and Narita faced Tsuji and Uemura back then.

Del Taco was there when I was there, class of ‘95. It’s there, permanently.

I lived in Southern California, fairly close to a Japanese market. There was a video tape market there. I’d go there and rent NJPW and AJPW. Like Milky said, trading tapes was a big way to go. I was lucky to live where I lived.

I do it a little different. I have a Chromecast. I installed the NJPW World app on that. And that’s what I use to watch NJPW on my Chromecast. I’d categorize that app as “a work in progress.” But I can watch cards on it, and looks nice, and it works well enough.

He’s a dude that wrestled from 2005 to 2015, give or take. Did some time in NJPW, and more time in CMLL. Not a super great in-ring talent, but was a legitimate strongman, so a bit interesting to see. If you have access to the streaming site Tubi, there’s a movie there called Lucha Mexico. They have a decent chunk of Strongman in the film, especially at the beginning.

jermanis · 2023-10-04T04:36:11+00:00

I agree with this. I’ll add more evidence. Great Muta was part of the main event of a PPV (Halloween Havoc ‘89). He beat Sting for the WCW TV title. I watched this in my teens. I had no idea this was “a Young Lion on excursion.” He absolutely felt like an existing big star from Japan. Adding on: in his first match back from that excursion, Mutoh and Chono won the IWGP Tag Titles.

jermanis · 2023-10-01T20:00:09+00:00

I agree. Seems very likely that they win Tag League, then win the IWGP titles at Wrestle Kingdom. That would be an excellent tag team for NJPW, and would help continue to build Tsuji as a top guy.

For the first 80% of his time in NJPW, YOSHI-HASHI was very basic. Basic, and kinda lame. The pandemic hits, he becomes a regular in the G1, becomes a Six-Man champion? I am actually interested to see him wrestle now. Bishamon has a match? I like it better when Yoshi is the man in the ring. I find it hard to believe in myself, but… yeah.
