@Armando316 I Agree Bro, However over the last few years I have found myself watching wrestling 10- 20 years ago, not only for nostalgic purposes, but the Level of competition was higher, Much more technical, Belts meant Something, Stars were properly built and even the commentary was so much better.
I wonder how Kawada would have done in the US ? A great team was Kawada and Tenryu even though Misawa and Kawada had more success.In some of the shoot interviews they said Misawa's forearm were thunderous.
@MegaDarkangel13 Yes,if i think "Pro-Wrestling" i think "Misawa-Kawada";but if i think "Undertaker-Michaels" i think "entertainment-wrestling";it's different. But i have to agree with what you have said.
@CODEBREAKER1988 Quite the opposite, it is really easy to find Japanese wrestling on TV in Japan. There is a subscription service titled "Samurai TV" which broadcasts daily shows of almost every major promotion including indies and New Japan still airs to this day on major network TV Asahi.
@kimbob5 Misawa and Kawada went the same high school. Kawada always adored Misawa. Interestingly, Misawa regarded Kawada as a quite bother. Misawa didn't like Kawada because Kawada 'talked too much'.
They're more worried about their own country. They've kind of hit a wall in terms of popularity. DGUSA just announced a TV deal for TFN but that's a channel nobody has. You'll be able to purchase the DGUSA PPV on September 4.
But yeah they're just not concerned about America at this time.
Had it been me,I would have demanded the ref remove Kawada's boot and inspect it to make sure he wasn't using a loaded boot ala the Grappler #1. . . . and while the ref is distracted,throw salt into the eyes of Kawada. As far as Misawa,people only truly die when you forget about them,with him,think that will be impossible.
Somebody used highlights of this match to Puccini's Un Bel Di Vidremo, and it was 1 of the most awesome combinations I think I've ever seen. After seeing it, I had to see this match at all cost, lol.
sorry but i have to disagree with you. DRIEVN was absolutely amazing and the bonus matches were freakin crazy! but the best ROH dvd would have to be supercard of honor 2 .WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOOWOWOWWOWOWOOW! i would probably say that the best WWE dvd ever is the ultimate flair collection,best of bret hart and the rise=fall of ECW! WAT ABOUT U? ps i could not watch some of the ppvs this year!
o hi again. UM NO! the main title matches are CRAP! the only good match is taker edge and that will be 3 3/4 at best! NOOOOOOOOOO! for free i would watch it
TO BE HONEST? i thought that TNA were going to lap up all the glory again.but by letting mexiico win it plays to their advantage because it keeps AAA and CMLL happy and so they can have a alent exchange. really i wanted team japan to win.DID U SEE YOSHINO? HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHHHIT WAT A TALENT! and the leg drop on daivari was awesome. DO U THINK I AM RITE ABOUT TH ETALENT EXCAHNGE?

And the best womans match ever by a landslide is akira hokuto vs shinosu kandori. again on veoh. please watch these matches and then tell me if ur opinion has changed
um sorry i was asking livinglegend1204 but since ur insight is good i would love 4 u to join the discussion. do u belive that the kobashi vs misawa 1/20/97 match blows away any kobashi/kawada matches?
those r very good maches but im nt sure about best ever! Have u seen pycosis vs mysterio bash at the beach 96? I think that is the match that I would place 11th. chck it out on dailymotion. u wont regret it
o cmon! cactus triple hhh is the best hardcore match ever! FINE THEN! if ur going to push me then instead i would add the RWTL 96 finals. im nt sure wat other match
This match is one of two matches in contention for best ever. The only other one in it's league is Flair vs. Steamboat from Wrestle War 1989. It's a toss-up depending on your personal preference. But still, *****+
mate U R SUCH A FUKING LEGEND! I MEAN U FUKING ADDED FREAKIN MISAWA VS KAWADA 1994!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUK!FUK! BEST MATCH EVER! I WOZ WONDERING IF U WOULD REPLY N TELL ME WAT UR 10 BEST MATCHES EVER WOULD BE. THAT MEANS SINCE WRESTLING BEGAN. PLEAZEPLEAZE.

Kobashi vs Misawa NOAH 2003 MY FAVORITE METTING BETWEEN THE TWO. Do u agree with some? IF SO PLEAZE TELL ME N TELL ME UR LIST!These r all *****+
Yeah I agree with most of those. I can't really give you a list of my top favorite matches because I've seen thousands. Off the top of my head the last match I really thought was 5 star actually belonged to Morishima & Bryan Danielson in the first match. Though on DVD the crowd sounded low/dead ROH had some huge audio problems in manhattan for a while, and in reality the crowd was just amazingly ELECTRIC throughout the whole thing. Great match, Great crowd, Great everything.
