Sabu and Lightning Kid Go Wild for Better and Worse How fucking good was Sabu, man? More than anything, I came away from this match just dazzled by that man. It's no wonder he became such a cult icon, and why Paul Heyman so smartly built so much aroun...

A shot of Kensuke Sasake’s groin from a 2004 NJPW match. He’s wearing silver and red trunks which are modest yet leave little to the imagination. This shot is held for like five seconds on the NJPW broadcast, which is a lot.

Kensuke Saaake puts his dick in Yoshihiro Takayama’a face in a 2004 match.

It’s always β€œwrestling is gay! :)” with a video of some twinks doing stuff, never β€œwrestling is gay! :)” with stuff like this, which makes me sad.

Black Tiger and Jushin Liger Have a Not-So-Friendly Friendly in the 1996 BOSJ Finals The 1996 BOSJ ends with a technically accomplished finals that feels like it's just shy of true greatness.

Just up, the 1996 BOSJ finals between Black Tiger and Jushin Liger … and the β€œrematch” from WCW {Pro} that aired three days later. Two very different looks at two of the greatest to ever lace β€˜em up.

Ric Flair and Terry Funk's First Battle Is Just As Great As Any They Had In 1989 Ric Flair, less than one month into his first world title run, is jet-lagged and in there against a man who'd become one of his greatest rivals.

Also in the offing, an entirely different look at Ric Flair and Terry Funk, as the two legends collide in Japan with Flair’s recently-won NWA World Heavyweight Championship on the line. A 1981 fancam!
