Image of masked pro wrestler Ultimo Dragon with Tinieblas and Tinieblas Jr., holding Alushe, 1991
Ultimo Dragon posing with Tinieblas and Tinieblas Jr., holding Alushe from Dragon's EMLL debut late 1991. Photo is from an issue of Weekly Gong dated 12/19/1991, caption states the match was on Nov. 22nd. Hard to find more details on this online.
Also, I'm realizing now that Alushe became KeMonito!
Spent the last few days catching up on some acclaimed New Japan matches from this decade I had skipped over. It was mostly vapid and soulless, so I decided to spend the last hour watching some stuff from late 00's/early 10's and OMG WHAT HAPPENED?! How has it gotten SO much worse
happy 15th anniversary
This pic has huge 90's video game ad vibes
Listening to Cornette go over the Observer awards and actually said fucking hell out loud when he questioned HIROSHI TANAHASHI having charisma

The WWE main event scene is as stale as it's been since the late 90's. Same select guys on top, with others allowed to hover around them, but never truly break into their elite club. Rotten.
Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan won the Rumble matches - both were the betting favorites
The closing fireworks display was probably the same cost as all the added fighter bonus payments introduced by the UFC this year
The fashion of 1986 Jim Crockett Promotions
More 1986 Crockett fashion
a very subtle plug
At Raw in Belfast and OMG the pacing is going to kill me
Survival Tobita wearing his famous t-shirt that reads: HE IS VERY DIE HARD! HE’S JUST JAPANESE ROCK ROCK ’N’ ROLLER! HIS REAL NAME IS MASARU TOBITA. KNOCK OUT ALL ENEMY! ATTACK ALL MONSTERS!
HE IS VERY DIE HARD!
HE’S JUST JAPANESE ROCK ROCK ’N’ ROLLER!
HIS REAL NAME IS MASARU TOBITA.
KNOCK OUT ALL ENEMY!
ATTACK ALL MONSTERS!
It sure was Gypsy Joe.
Pete Gas gets suplexed on his head by Bull Pain. Why didn't William Regal tweet about *THIS*!?!?
It's weird constantly seeing people who know better talk about how and why Anthem "bought TNA." They did not. They foreclosed on Impact Ventures when Dixie defaulted on Anthem's loans to TNA, giving them the company per the terms of the loan agreement.

I think it's time to ask Cagematch and wrestlingdata why they are HIDING the fact that The Mountie and Abdullah the Butcher wrestled Carlos Colon and Marty Jannetty on February 14th 1993?? What else don't THEY~ want you to know??
PORK CHOP CASH
When my wife asks why I just took $60 out of the ATM:
If you're a TV/pop culture nerd, this Cynthia Littleton piece in Variety is a must-click: She's compiled dozens of vintage ads from the trade, hyping everything from Kukla, Fran & Ollie and Columbo to The Sopranos and Freaks and Geeks. This is the good stuff. variety.com/gallery/tv-a...
Since 2023, Keiji Muto in NOAH, Sting at AEW Revolution, and NJPW today for Tanahashi all absolutely crushed the retirement show. 3 incredible events. Just mind-boggling how WWE screwed it up for Goldberg & Cena.
jeremy strong in springsteen: deliver me from nowhere in a yellow turtleneck and glasses
jeremy strong in the springsteen movie looks like they made an oscar bait minions adaptation
Folks
Three images of Bobby Davis in-ring giving advice to his man, Gorilla Monsoon. The caption reads: "The prize in Davis' stable is powerfull Gorilla Monsoon. The talkative Davis discovered the Manchurian giant last year and feels he has a champ."
Bobby Davis managing Gorilla Monsoon 🤼
The prototype of the wrestling manager, Davis very much patterned the slick, motormouth style that influenced the Heenans, Harts and Heymans of the wrestling world in later years and would be more well known, if not for a lack of footage. Ahead of his time.
I'm not sure there's anything in all of pro wrestling that hits quite like that moment where Yoshiaki Fujiwara has had enough.
TV literally just has sports and wrestling lol
The Shape of Water
Sting's going to have the best retirement in US pro wrestling history isn't he?
