Overrated shit
>>16684918If by "overrated" you mean "top shelf".
No one cares about this shit except autistic Gen x and older ass millennials who watch KOTH and Beavis & Butthead LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>16684918Not enough headlocks for ya?
Only two photos of Akira Taue exists, and this is one of them
Naw these are goats.
>>16684918Could you handle being a triple Janetty that Taue was? He had a nice career sure but he was still far overshadowed. >>16684988Is this the other one?
>>16684918This got the woodditardcord fuming
>>16684918nah
...for India? Yes.Go back to your cow dung flinging activities
>>16684918>>16684947>>16686150why do e-drones always hate on other wrestling?
It's no accident that the people making fun of 90s AJPW have never seen itIt's impossible to hate if you actually watch it, so that kind of takes the sting out of shitposts like OP's because you know he's just some seething bait poster and he has no actual opinion on it.
>>16684918>He say you brade runnah
>>166849182 seconds of the worst pillars match is better than anything AEW has ever produced
>>16684918this is the only good japanese wrestling that is worth watching actually and i really fucking hate japan as a country and their culture sickens me
>>16687092preach brother
I still don't understand how AJPW did tag team wrestling so wellI fucking hate tag team wrestling, I really do, but the AJPW tag tournaments and finals are just long ass singles matches that somehow involve 4 guys. They never feel spotty or rehearsed or overly coordinated. They're just good fights in a slightly different format.
>>16686597i don't hate it a lot of it is just boring but that's normal i guess. highs and lows. It's similar to someone talking about the attitude era or something and you watch it and realize that the show is actually filled with matches like the headbangers vs. DOA
>>16686597I think it's possible to dislike 90s All Japan if you're really into storylines, promo battles, and whacky characters rather than the wrestling itself. But I agree with you that anyone that appreciates the wrestling, from any era, should love 90s All Japan. I'm not a big fan of modern indie style with all the gymnastics. I don't like Ospreay for example. I think the Young Bucks are an embarrassment. I'm more of an old school fan. But I love 90s All Japan. And likewise, I recognize that fans of that indie stuff I don't like, who love Ospreay, also love 90s All Japan. It's just impossible to hate if you actually care about in ring work, regardless of what sort of style you're into.
>>16687179Bring back long block/reversal sequences like this instead of "lol finisher reversal spam" at the end of every match.
>>16687179Have you ever watched old tag team wrestling from the 80s, like for example the Hart Foundation or the British Bulldogs or the Steiner Brothers?
>>16684918What indie wrestlers are these?
>>16687227I have but it's not quite the same either. The match the clip I posted is from is like 45 minutes long and the tournament finals are treated like huge accomplishments equal to any sort of singles title or tournament.AJPW did two tag tournaments every year and they always did huge business somehow.
>>16687250they did only one tag team tournament the real world league in from late November till early December which is still happening every year, as a huge 90s & 80s All Japan mark I can't think of what the other yearly tag team tournament they were doing? Did you maybe mix it up the Champions Carnival but that's a singles tournament
>>16687250Oh yeah I'm not trying to say it's the same, just very different from the way a tag team match is worked in the modern era.
>>16684918>>16687179Where's the best place to watch the AJPW tag tournaments from the 90s? Are they even available?
>>16684918why do americans pretend they watched this shit
>>16687338https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqzG15CnLZ0bqUeijNkCvdIKUMg34dCbA here you can find pretty much all the legendary tag team matches that they ever had
>>16687277I thought they had two sets of tag titles and did a tournament for both, the world tag and the asia tag
>>16687397they had or still have two sets of tag team titles but only one yearly tag team tournament
>>16687365Thank you
>>16686597>>16687201AJPW wrestling isn't anything special.
>>16684943>>16684969>>16686521>>16686526>>16686597>>16687179Wrestling is fake no matter how many indie vanilla midgets are doing flips and kicks and fake finishers for an hour now take the wrestling fig out yo bussy, playa
>>16687666It was special in the early to mid 1990s. These special periods never last too long for a wrestling promotion, but I don't know why you want to deny it.
Stan Hansen, Dr. Death and Tenryu's Jannetty carried these dimeless shitters.
>>16684918Misawa is the best wrestler I’ve ever seen. I have no idea what anyone else is talking about.
>>16688218He was amazing. DESU, I like Kenta Kobashi and Jumbo Tsuruta better among Japanese workers though.
>>16684918nah. it was pretty good.
>>16684918I love watching Misawa with my pants off
>>16684918>hating 90s AJPW
>>16687827Ok but I still want it to be good.
>>16684918Three Musketeers of Fighting Spirit > Four Pillars of Heaven
>>16689868nah
>>16684918kek weebs thought they can just spam ratings thread to slide this and make themselves feel better if they don't see this thread on the top page LMAO
>>16687827You're from India. Your opinion doesn't matter LMFAO
>>16684918What I don't understand is that Kobashi is still alive and well and he doesn't do much or even get talked about at all yet he's supposed be the best of the four pillars? I don't get it
>>16688218>Misawa is the best wrestler I’ve ever seen.If there's someone to lead him, like hansen and terry gordy
>>16684918Misawa & Kobashi for me is like 90's Ospreay. Great potential to be a top babyface if being led by the likes of Hansen & terry gordy but when left on their own devices it's terrible
>>16692226ok fair but you left out Kawada who carried Misawa to the best matches ever
>>16690986nah we're mad Meltzer pretends some lightweights flipping around is equal to Hansen vs Kobashi
>>16692263>Kawada who carried Misawa to the best matches everThe no-selling after being dropped on their heads, the endless elbows you call that best matches?
>>16684918Don't know or care who this shitter is but one Japanese wrestler who I thought was cool was this big fat guy in ROH in like 2007 or so. Almost made me search out more Japanese wrestling but the rest were all little manlet shitters.
>>16692301none of that happened, thats New Japan cosplay youre thinking of
>>16684918these guys and cena all have 5 star matches yet nash and angle don't. doesn't make sense
>>16692310https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTz9jNJZg9Qmaybe get a clue instead of being a faggot, i know thats tough for you
>>16686669kek
>>16691911Hansen and Misawa didn't have very good chemistry. Of the Four Pillars, Hansen had the best chemistry with Kawada.
>>16689202I think that's fair. There's something marvelous about watching Jumbo, like an athletic guy that's still built like that. And he could pop any crowd just by looking out and raising his arm up in the airprime Jumbo vs. first run Brock Lesnar is my freakshow dream match
>>16691389he's not well, he was at a show last year and came into the ring. he can walk but barely and he looks like he's lost braincells, last years of inoki vibe
>>16684918Wait are those 4 different guys? I shoot thought they were all just Misawa with different hair. Fucking asians.
>>16684918Fags aren't allowed on the king's road anyway. Fuck off.
>>16684918Tell me you have shit taste without telling me you have shit taste. Maybe puroresu isn't for you, anon.
>>16684918For fucks sake watch kobashi vs samoa joe RIGHT NOW
>>16692717wow you're so cool and edgy bro
>>16692701Please don’t say this.
