Anyone know the reason why there is this big New World Order nostalgia fad in Japan at the moment? And could Scott Hall and Brutus get a payday?

Nash worked an All Japan show in September, teaming with Muta. Possibly that + the arrival of Norton (?)

Onita vs. Akebono [Aug. 2012]

Sasuke vs. Onita [1994] Images may load slowly.

That game of death looks like some next level shit, are those forks in that box?

Yep. Them's forks.

Some more from Sasuke vs. Onita (2003)

Don't worry Richie, action shots are almost impossible to capture well from DVDs / mpegs & I only get about 1 in 10 of the pic's I actually want. Had a go at the Pogo/Matsunaga incident, using every trick available, but they still aren't great. The first few are from Matsunaga's Korakuen Hall balcony dive. Not sure how many times it's been done, but not many. The last one I saw was from Kyoko Kimura. His may have been the first.

Aja Kong from AJW Cage Death Match 1991

Back in about 1995 when Eurosport used to show NJPW wrestling, I remember watching a Pegasus Kid/Chris Benoit match and distinctly remember Benoit doing his diving headbutt off the top rope to the floor. A friend of mine swears something this stupid would never have happened and that it must have come to me in a dream.

 

Anyway, while I can picture the whole situation now, I can't for the life of me remember who Benoit's opponent was. Does anyone else remember this happening and even better, know if the match in question is on YouTube?

Pegasus Kid vs. Liger - no date

It looks like they faced each other around 6 times between 1990 & 1993 in Japan. This match was in Tokyo Ryogoku, which narrows it down a bit.

The Great Muta 'attacks' Akira Hokuto. She gives him a Northern Lights Bomb & gets the mist in return.
