In the tradition of Kev's Log and the random match thoughts, I figure I'll also keep my thoughts to a thread. I watched a whole assload of puro this weekend and most of it was boring except a couple NOAH matches.. One was Liger vs Makoto Hashi which got insanely crazy as it went on, and KENTA/Marufuji vs El Samurai/Wataru Inoue. Inoue previously didn't wow me but man he is a future star. And El Samurai does all the little stuff so awesome.
Also I got to watch some joshi from March '04, I haven't seen much new stuff so it was cool. Things that stuck out most is there's a whole ton of cute japanese workers... I was wrong when I said Jill Love ws the hottest valet, it is EASILY FRANCOISE, who made a guest appearance on an AJW show (i guess she's usually in Osaka Pro?).. Good god she is hot. Third, SASORI is AWESOME. She is a skinny, bald, japanese chick with a tattoo of a SCORPION COVERING THE TOP OF HER HEAD. I looked everywhere for a pic but I couldn't find one...
Anyway:
ALL JAPAN Pleasure 6 taped 4/13/04 aired 4/20/04
Tokyo, ZEPP Tokyo - 1500 fans
Running time: 2 hours?
They call this the "~Pleasure 6~"... Hehehe freaking weird-ass japanese translations...
Nobukazu Hirai & Hideki Hosaka & Taichi Ishikari vs. TAKA Michinoku & Taiyo Kea & GENTARO 6:52 of 12:41
Boring.. Taka is a slug of his former self. He's running this heel faction called "RO&D", I think it's a bunch of big heel guys like Jamal (from Rosey and Jamal in the WWE) and Taiyo Kea.. Kea is goofy looking.
Arashi & Gran Hamada vs. BLUE-K & Ryuji Hijikata 3:17 of 8:44
Man Arashi is out of shape (but stiff) and Hamada is SO OLD. Hamada still does a good looking tornado DDT. BLUE K is doing TAKA's moves, he was wearing a jacket so it was hard to tell if it was TAKA under the hood. Fast forward at your leisure.
Takao Omori & Masa Fuchi b Tomoaki Honma & Kazushi Miyamoto 12:58
Honma and Miyamoto are a tag team called "Turmeric Storm". Kaz looked pretty good, he did most of the bumping. Fuchi is old, Omori looks like a japanese Eddy Guerrero and he's pretty good. Match was EHHHHH
CHAMPION CARNIVAL - BLOCK A: Kaz Hayashi vs. Jamal 10:56
OK... WOW! I'm not saying this is a GREAT match but man it totally exceeded my expectations.. Jamal was freaking GOOD. He sold his knee great, and he was an awesome bad ass... He didn't do any of that WWE 'stand and look at the crowd after every move to fill time" crap that I hate. Jamal was yelling "f**k!" all the time in this match, and when Kaz busted out a back heel kick he yelled "MUZZAf**kAAA!". way behind Kaz and the nearfalls were all bought into. Good match!
Also, Kaz's tights say: "NOT GUILTY".
;D hahah crazy f**kers.. The best was when Jamal came out, he posed on the ramp EXACTLY like HHH and spit water! When he came to the ring, he didn't do the HHH apron spit, but he did turn to that side and do the HHH pose.. hehehe...
More as I watch...
