• 5-Star BOOK Reviews: Toshiaki Kawada’s Autobiography, Part VII

When we last left Toshiaki Kawada he had just experienced one of the highest of highs and lowest of lows all within the span of seconds: he had just pinned Misawa clean again to win the Triple Crown only to realize he would have to vacate the title soon afterwards due to injury. But his […]...2025
• 5-Star BOOK Reviews: Toshiaki Kawada’s Autobiography, Part V

So after being treated like dirt as a high school wrestling trainee, like dirt as an unremarkable and forgettable rookie in All Japan, and like dirt while being poorly used in three different promotions in three very distinct territories in North America, Toshiaki Kawada returns to wrestling in All Japan…where he is promptly treated like […]...2025

• 5-Star Match Reviews: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Kenta Kobashi – AJPW January 19, 1995 (30-Year Anniversary Review)

I was originally going to post this yesterday but got sidetracked with other stuff. With lots of great matches happening in past years ending in “5” – 1995, 2005 and 2015 – I figured this would be a good opportunity to revisit some classics from previous years to see how well they hold up. And […]...2025

• Davey Boy Smith Jr. wins prestigious AJPW championship in Japan

@NatbyNature It is a prosperous time in the busy landscape of professional wrestling.

Smith challenged champion Yuma Aoyagi at Giant Series 2024 in Sapporo, Japan on November 4. In a hard-fought battle (full mat...2024

Shinya Hashimoto vs. Toshiaki Kawada AJPW 2/22/04 ER: This is the definition of Dream Match wrestling with actual, real purpose and incredible execution. Beyond being one of the biggest one-off dream matches in wrestling history, the fact that both men worked the exact brutal match that everyone viewing it as a dream match would want to see just cements its legendary status. Hashimoto beat Gr...2023

• Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay’s 6-star match at Forbidden Door is unforgettable
This wasn’t just wrestling, it was performance art. Forbidden Door 2023 was everything wrestling fans could have hoped for. Last year’s edition of the AEW x NJPW cross-promotional show fell flat, largely due to injury and circumstance. This year the dream was delivered on, and in its wake we’re left with the realization that Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay gave us one of the greatest matches in the h...2023

• Five Years of Found Footage Friday: EARLIEST KOBASHI~! KAWADA~! A SAWYER~! A MICHAELS~! ARAI~! SATO~!
MD: We started this on May 25, 2018 given the weekly footage we were getting from the WWE Network and the wellspring of handhelds that were popping up from Japan ebay. Somehow, amazingly, we've kept it up for five whole years, at least three matches a week. It went from being New to being Found, but that's more for the alliteration than to smooth the possibility that some of this stuff had been ou...2023

Rusher Kimura vs. Carl Fergie IWE 6/6/81MD: It's always fun to see a journeyman overachieve in another country. You can think of Jim Dillon in the Maritimes (not that we have that footage) or the Rock 'n' Roll RPMs in Puerto Rico (that we do have and it's fun). Here, it's Carl Fergie - fresh off a midcard run putting guys over in Mid-South and on his way to do the same in Crockett - in a main even...2023

Benito Gardini/Al Williams vs. Cyclone Anaya/Walter Palmer NWA Chicago 5/26/50 MD: This was a delightful 27 minutes, with some clipping, but you get so much of it, you hardly care. My buddy Ohtani's Jacket got here first and said I'd love Gardini, and guess what, I do. He likened him to a 1950s Porky, and I can see that on appearance and over the top antics, but, of course, with a deep Italians st...2024

• Eddie Kingston’s journey in Japan is the best thing in pro wrestling

This would put a smile on anyone’s face. AEW’s Eddie Kingston is a polarizing wrestler. The 41-year-old from Yonkers, N.Y isn’t blessed with eye-popping muscles. He doesn’t look like he was carved from marble by a renaissance master. The man is a true throwback to an era where it was okay to look like an everyman if you could make up for it with the biggest thing modern wrestlers lack: Personality...2023
