It's basically wrestling legend and former head of PRIDE Nobuhiko Takada under an evil, M Bison type gimmick. In storyline terms, Nobuhiko Takada recruited his friend General Takada to destroy Pro Wrestling. So Takada's monster army, consisting of shoot fighters, brain washed wrestlers and various monsters, took on "Captain Hustle" Naoya Ogawa and his brave pro wrestlers. In a more recent angle, Takada bought HUSTLE (For 100 million monster dollars), which is why he is now President. Out of the ashes of the HUSTLE army, "Hustle Resistance" Wataru Sakata now leads the forces of good against their oppressive ruler. HUSTLE is great.Takada also takes on the role of The Esperanza, a dangerous robot 'based on' Nobuhiko Takada's fighting style. Except it's got a laser beam as well. That one got blown up, but an even more powerful robot debuted on the last show, called Takada Shogun (Again played by Takada). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 9, 2008 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2008 PWTorrents give you about 2-3 weeks to sort out the ratio. Just make sure when you've finished downloading, you leave it seeding until you've uploaded as much as you downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was reading Batista's book (I know...) and he talks about a cock-up during one of his flights (this is how little of a career he has, when a tale about a flight getting his seats wrong is a chapter in his autobiography) anyway, he says regularly himself and Booby Lashley (who he was travelling with) order two seats to make it easier for themselves and whoever they'be sat buy.I've a question, did Kevin Von Erich really request a payday for working an event in '93, that (everyone else worked for free) was in benefit of his brothers (Kerry) children? Or is that some form of Urban Legend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members The Ratt Posted January 10, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2008 Has Rey Mysterio ever been a heel during his career? I'm not to familiar with his career in Mexico but thinking about his time in ECW, WCW and WWE he has always been portrayed as a face as far as I can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 What's the full story behind the WWF's referee strike a few years back? Who were the replacement refs brought in? I know Steve Lombardi was brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to familiar with his career in Mexico but thinking about his time in ECW, WCW and WWE he has always been portrayed as a face as far as I can rememberI am not sure if he was classed as a heel or a tweener, but in late '99, through to 2000 he was part of the Filthy Animals as well as the New Blood. Being WCW, I don't even know if they had a clue if he was face, heel or neither during this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you don't speak Japanese, right? Is there somewhere where you read about the angles online in English or something?Well, wrestling message boards that don't actually treat knowledge about wrestling as a kind of disease have threads on HUSTLE where you can glean details, but a lot of this stuff is easy enough to follow just by watching the shows, I find. But I will plug a recently opened English HUSTLE fan page that could be the business if the guy running it keeps as up to date as he has been so far.

I don't recall who they were, or what they did next.Anybody? Thanks.Not sureabout the Maestro, but Symphony also played the role of Ken Shamrock's sister Ryan in the WWF in 1999. In a weird twist, she wound up dating Ken for a while after he refused to do an incest storyline between the two of them.She also played the role of Aleesha in the early days of TNA, and was also in AAA last year.
