I cagematched Joe Malenko and noticed these:

New Japan has had about a million attempts at forming subsidiaries (the latest being LOCK-UP, NEVER and NOAH) and one that's basically MUGA/Dradition ten years before that promotion came to life sounds dope. Has anyone heard of this previously? Was it taped? Any good?

Yeah, and he even offers downloads! Pretty cool for eurofolks like me who wish to dodge shipping costs.

 

Thoughts on all 3 discs:

 

1 - the commercial tape: the Takaiwa vs. Shoda (Masada) rookie squash is fun and violent. Everything else is great. This is a keeper for sure.

 

2 - the 1998 show: I loved this show because every match was a fun, inventive grappling heavy 10 minute match between two young guys/girls and the main event was a hidden gem.

 

3 - the 1999 show: this is the least of the 3 shows but still fun to watch. Satomura/Kato, the Aoyagi match and the main event were the best matches. Also Kurashima almost killed his opponent in the opener with 2 ganso bombs.

I spent ridiculous money 17/18 years ago getting tapes from Poughkeepsie to my little town in France so I could watch japanese wrestling. Good for him he's still going on !

Same here :) although I'm in the States. He was my first place to get tapes/DVDs of puro & joshi. His reviews were always in depth & well thought out. I'll still refer to his site for dates, obscure match participants, show locations, take on matches etc. Its a great resource!
