Dai Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 What was the deal with Alrbight then? Everyone only seems to talk about his UWF run, and in all these years Ive never heard anything about his AJPW run, which suggests it wasnt up to much. Looking at his Cagematch, he was wrestling the main men in AJPW in the mid to late 90s, which surely should have produced some great stuff, yet its never really talked about. You'd think wrestling people like Kawada in 95 would produce something memorable, but seemingly not. Speaking of alternative realities, Ive just seen that in 1995, Albright and Hansen's third tag partner was RVD. Something extremely surreal about that visual.

Never seen any of his All Japan stuff but I’m in the mood to give some of it a watch now. And yeah, RVD in AJPW is something I always forget about. It’s that period in his career after the WCW ‘Robbie V’ stint but before his ECW run that’s always been a blind spot for me. Here’s Kawada taking his head off from that time period though… Edited March 31, 2024 by wandshogun09

Id be more than happy to pay a monthly subscription for that, rather than dig around my external hard drives for a pixelated .wmv file of the matches.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 31, 2024 Paid Members Posted March 31, 2024 I don’t even know. I’d guess a lot of it’s on YouTube so I was just gonna watch some stuff on there. These matches were easy enough to find… vs Kawada in October 1995; vs Misawa in March 1996;

There is a collection of Miracle Violence Connection tag matches. Reddit usually has links to other sites or external hard drives for AJPW. Just google All Japan Reddit and best matches or something of similar ilk. Edited March 31, 2024 by TheBurningRed
Dai Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 Cheers lads. Will definately be watching some MVC over the next few days, and Ill give those Alrbright matches a gander in a bit!

The TV network owns the rights to the footage and hasn't shown any interest in making it available in any way.
