Finbar Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Naomichi Marufuji v KENTA for the GHC Title Holy Shit! How the hell did KENTA(?) carry on that match after the springboard moonsault to the outside??? He lands throat first on the rail FFS! To still have a fucking awesome match after that is incredible.
raven.flow Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 It's Marufuji that lands throat first. KENTA gets some nasty looking knees to the face as well from what I remember.
Guest Man Of The Millions Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Naomichi Marufuji v KENTA for the GHC TitleOn a couple more viewings, this is actually better than the match in January. Some fantastic stuff here.Match. Of. The. Year.
soretooth Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Naomichi Marufuji v KENTA for the GHC TitleOn a couple more viewings, this is actually better than the match in January. Some fantastic stuff here.That was the first Japanese match I have watched all the way through and I must say it was very good. Please excuse my ignorance but maybe some of you puroresu fans could answer my questions?Why does the ref count in English?What do they have to count up to before someone is counted out (of the ring)?If such concepts exist in puroresu, who was the heel and who was the face? I would guess Marufuji was the heel? Or is it meant to be taken more as a genuine contest between athletes?Alas I do not get the Wrestling Channel on my TV but I would definitely like to see more matches like this so some links or PMs for more of the same would be really appreciated from anyone. Cheers

Cheers, like the fella above i'm new to the japanese stuff and wasn't sure who was who, my japanese ain't exactly great. What an incredible match tho, was well and truely blown away by it, haven't been that into a match for years. Will definately be tracking down some more.
A D STREET Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Why does the ref count in English?Why the hell not?What do they have to count up to before someone is counted out (of the ring)?Japanese wrestling uses a 20 count to avoid count-outs (kinda not aloud) plus they need that time to get back in after some insain outside divesIf such concepts exist in puroresu, who was the heel and who was the face? I would guess Marufuji was the heel? Or is it meant to be taken more as a genuine contest between athletes?The Face/Heel aspect is often played down so to portray the importance of the athletic performance but they do have them.Any other questions for the class?
spotlightmagnet1 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Just quickly, i'm not sure if it been mentioned yet but google videos have the classic Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg match from Fall Brawl 2000 as well as othersjust type in WCW, Scott Steiner or Goldberg
steve rayson Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOuc43JWUYgOn the subject of Pillman, here he is taking on a not quite Buff yet, Marcus Bagwell from a COTC in 1995.Not a bad match.Yeah, this is way back when Bagwell was pretty good in the ring.
Max Power Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Just searched for Steiner and found this instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAA8SlguCGI Career ended.
huss Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 A music video of Takuya Sugi an awesome high flyer from japan, im sure theres more videos of him just search under the many gimmicks he has used over the years
The Cum Doctor Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I am sure he thought it was cool and interesting alright but for joe punter, i.e me, it was a waste of time. At the very least he could have written a short description of what exactly it was so we, the viewer, could make an informed decision as to whether or not to view his clip. I had an idea it was something involving him doing something wrestling related.You're right. Personally, I wish people would stop posting those daft old comedy things on here. I think they're a waste of time.Oh wait, it's only ME that thinks that. Carry on.
NBT Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Why does the ref count in English?Why the hell not?If you're going to answer the questions at least, you know, answer them.Counts in Japanese wrestling are made in English because wrestling was introduced to the country by the Americans in and around the Second World War.
