I’m thinking of posting the NJ Diaries I did do (before I quit halfway through the process) as an exercise in writing/editing, so look for a few to go up over the next month (probably one or two today). In the mean time, I’m doing these shorter “Rewinds” to cover anything new I watch from [...]

Match # 17: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Steve Keirn (11/6/80) We saw this one early on (Match # 2). It had a good storyline to a 2/3 falls match, and now the long awaited rematch begins.

Match # 14: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Ron Starr (9/30/80) No idea who Ron Starr is, but he has curly hair and an outfit that can only be described as era appropriate. He looks like a jobber, but there is most likely a good reason this is on the set.

Match # 12: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Kengo Kimura (9/25/80) This seriously has the makings of a mirror match. Go ahead, make fun of me. They both have similar hair, bodies, and the same black tights. I’m screwed here once they start rolling around.

Match # 11: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Tony Londos (9/19/80) I have no idea who Tony Londos is, but if he’s anywhere near as good as Tony Rocco, this match will rule. Random white guy in black trunks meets WWWF Champ AKA Asian dude in black trunks. It’s on.

Match # 9: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Tony Rocco (9/11/80) Fujinami makes yet another appearance on the first disk. Rocco may or may not be British. I’m a World of Sport mark, that’s all.

Match # 7: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Chavo Guerrero (5/9/80) I fell in love with Chavo Guerrero’s work on the Mid South set, and Fujinami has been the darling/revelation so far in the New Japan set. Now they meet up in a WWWF Juniors title match. Consider me hopeful.

Match # 3: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Dynamite Kid (2/5/80) The new WWWF junior champ. Fujinami, takes on a juniors darling in Dynamite Kid. If this is better than the Keirn match I’ll be beside myself.

Match # 2: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Steve Keirn (2/3 Falls) (2/1/80) Stemming off our first match, we get a WWWF Junior Heavyweight Title match between Steve Keirn, and my new favorite to watch, Fujinami. I’m hoping Fuji can pull Keirn to a great match, and hopefully Keirn plays the bigger power guy to the agile [...]

Match # 1: Tatsumi Fujinami & Kantaro Hoshino vs. Dynamite Kid & Steve Keirn (1/18/80) We kick off a whole new Diaries series with a tag of familiar (and one unfamiliar) names. We have a future British Bulldog – young Dynamite – teaming with a future Fabulous One, Steve Keirn. I’ve known a Fujinami since [...]

A new compilation disk has arrived with fun goodies, so I figured I’d post some thoughts on the lot of random matches. Here’s the first…
