• AEW Five Fingers of Death (and Friends) 5/25 - 5/31
AEW Collision 5/30/26Konosuke Takeshita vs Daniel GarciaKonosuke Takeshita is a very special wrestler.While size is relative when comparing modern wrestling to the wrestling of old, Takeshita clearly jumps off the screen. Whether due to sheer height or the combination of size and his theatrical presence, he towers over opponents in a way that most current wrestlers do not. When it comes to his ath...2026See more AEW Collision news

• 5-Star BOOK Reviews: Jumbo Tsuruta’s Books, Part XIII (FINAL)This is the final part of my Jumbo Tsuruta books coverage which will cover remaining parts of Tsuruta’s 1999 book Jumbo Tsuruta’s Natural Power Strengthening Bible.

Abdullah the Butcher vs. Hiroshi Wajima AJPW 1/2/88MD: Abby had bigger fish to fry. His eyes were on Jumbo and Baba. Wajima was just a guy he had to babysit here. I'm not going back to see if this did ratings or not but I bet it did even as Wajima was less of a TV draw than he'd been the year before. I'll be honest. I started my AJPW chronological watch with 89 in part to avoid the guy. I kind of ...2025See more All Japan availability report

• One-Post Complete and Accurate Bockwinkel vs JumboMD: Back in November 2022, I was doing fairly detailed bullet point write ups of AEW TV over at DVDVR. I think maybe it was a little bit easier to do that at that point of the pandemic, I don't know. I had no intention of writing up the Death Triangle vs Elite series though, so I decided to counter-program by going through all of the singles Bockwinkel vs Jumbo matches we had on tape. These are mo...2024Read about Death Triangle injury status

AEW Collision 2/24/24Bryan Danielson vs Jun AkiyamaMD: One of the last couple of times I discussed Eddie Kingston, I waxed poetic on how I can write about him as if it was all real, that I barely even need to go into mechanics or subtext, because the text itself is so rich and immersive. I mentioned at the time the one other thing that popped off the top of my head as something I could do that wit...2024See more AEW Collision injury report

• (Almost) 5-Star Match Reviews: Vader vs. Jun Akiyama – AJPW New Year Giant Series 2000As I work my way through my Jumbo Tsuruta books to get those reviews going I figured I’d pivot for a moment to a match that kinda involves Tsuruta in spirit by way of Jun Akiyama. Though much smaller than Jumbo, Akiyama shared many similarities with him. He was an amateur wrestling standout, loved suplexes, […]...2025Check it out Jun Akiyama -

Jumbo Tsuruta/Akira Taue/Masa Fuchi vs. Mitsuharu Misawa/Toshiaki Kawada/Kenta Kobashi NJPW 3/3/91 MD: Oops, this one's on me guys, sorry. There was a big dump of handhelds that came into the community back in 2018 and it was a lot to parse through.

• Jumbo Tsuruta – The First True Ace of Puroresu
When Jumbo Tsuruta passed away in May of 2000, my first response was, “Oh yeah… That’s the guy who unified the Triple Crown Championship in All Japan before Stan Hansen beat him for it.” More than 20 years later, the ignorance I displayed in that moment still repulses me. Shortly thereafter, I was taking a […]...2023See more articles All Japan

That brutal war carried All Japan until Tsuruta’s unfortunate and premature departure and while it went on All Japan was white hot. This match also includes something unusual as far as All Japan classics are concerned: Akira Taue as […]...2024Read about Mitsuharu Misawa -
