All Japan Diaries: Match #134
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Match #134: Joe Malenko vs. Masa Fuchi (7/28/89) Joe knows mat holds. Fuchi is one of the best mid card juniors from 80s All Japan. They hook it up and I watch.
All Japan Diaries: Match #133
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Match #133: Jumbo Tsuruta & Kenta Kobashi vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Stan Hansen (7/15/89) A young Kobashi, future legend of the 90s, is thrown into a tag with the All Japan 80s legends.
All Japan Diaries: Match #132
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Match #132: Joe & Dean Malenko vs. Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers (7/15/89) A bit of American flavor hits Japan as the technical wizards of the Malenko family take on Southern tag team the Fantastics.
All Japan Diaries: Match #131
Tuesday, November 8, 2011

All Japan Diaries: Match #130
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #130: Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Stan Hansen & Toshiaki Kawada (6/8/89) Fun little match as Hansen has the unlikely partner in Kawada to take on the established Jumbo/Yatsu team.
All Japan Diaries: Match #129
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #129: Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Genichiro Tenryu (6/5/89) This is the match that was pegged as the consensus favorite to take #1 going into the decade review. Lets see if this holds up to that standard.

All Japan Diaries: Match #126
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #126: Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Toshiaki Kawada & Ricky Fuyuki (5/20/89) We’re in for a war, and I’ll give you a penny if you can figure out which team is going to be selling for most of this.
All Japan Diaries: Match #125
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #125: Stan Hansen vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (4/16/89) Their 4/86 match was a disappointing double countout. Hansen too the 7/86 match in an improvement that still didn’t blow me away. 10/86 they really hit their stride, as Jumbo beat Hansen in twenty minutes. Now they meet again in 1989, older, wiser, and meaner. Oh yeah, [...]
All Japan Diaries: Match #124
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #124: Masa Fuchi vs. Mitsuo Momota (3/29/89) A change of pace again, as the passionate Fuchi shows up again in our series.
All Japan Diaries: Match #123
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #123: Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada (2/23/89) The rematch. Let’s see if young Kawada has learned his lesson from the last time. Jumbo/Tenryu have tag belts, and Tenryu/Kawada want them.
All Japan Diaries: Match #122
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #122: Yoshiaki Yatsu & Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Toshiaki Kawada & Genichiro Tenryu (1/22/89 TV) A rivalry is renewed, with Kawada taking the slot of Hara. Our first of two straight tags with these two teams.
All Japan Diaries: Match #121
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Match #121: Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada vs. John Tenta & Shunji Takano (1/5/89 TV) Tenta, a bigger belly than before, makes his second appearance on the set in a tag with the tall Takano. I can see this really working with the smaller Kawada. Bring on the Tenryu chops.
BS With Honor #113 (Part 2)
Monday, October 24, 2011
Many current and former ROH wrestlers have used the Best in the World tag, so it seems like an appropriate name for the show which saw Davey Richards’ ascendance to the official summit of the company. As we discuss in our DVD review, there just might be some other best-ofs associated with the show, so [...]
BS With Honor #113 (Part 1)
Thursday, October 20, 2011
We’ve survived Bound For Glory, and it’s back to the familiar topic of Ring of Honor (with a bit of BFG on the side). With one month of television shows in the books, we’re taking an overview of what we’ve seen so far, and looking ahead with a spoiler-free run-down of the most recent set [...]
