Pro wrestling history nerd, gay metal head, and lover of classic All Japan Pro Wrestling. Not as old as you think, not as young as I look.
Some fun commercials featuring Giant Baba (he even sings in one). The first one has been stuck in my head for about an hour lol. @EvL_1235 @TENK0JI @roylucier @FatherofPuro
He absolutely was. The complete package, at just the right time in history. @YujiTsuruta
Jumbo Tsuruta has often been called the ideal King's Road wrestler; he had the size, he had the power, and he had the agility.
A historic show, with Bill Watts and Jim Crockett teaming up, running Dallas, and essentially telling Fritz Von Erich "we're not friends anymore". Soon Watts and Crockett would no longer be friends.

This is a top 3 Misawa match for me. Unbelievable match. 1/20/97 and 4/15/95 are the other two.
Mitsuharu Misawa legendary Triple Crown reign in 1994 ended in a legendary match vs. Steve Williams. This may be the loudest fan reaction to powerslam you've ever heard. Oklahoma StampedOOOOOOOOOOO!!! #ajpw #三沢光晴 #スティーブ・ウィリアムス
My two favorite wrestlers of all time.
#OnThisDayInWWE 25 years ago: The legendary Gordon Solie dies, aged 71 “He could call a match like no-one else” - Dusty Rhodes “No-one had a bigger impact on my announcing career” - @JRsBBQ "Fans trusted Gordon Solie" - @Fgbrisco
Quite possibly the greatest announcer of all time, and second only to Lance Russell as far as my personal favorites are concerned. I wish more announcers in wrestling would try to live up to his example.

Right? Lol. I remember when I first realized that. Could've given me a million guesses as far as who his last opponent was, and I still wouldn't have guessed right lol.
Giant Baba's last singles match being against Rip Rogers is so crazy
Look! It's a baby pre-gimmick Great Kabuki as Giant Baba's second in this match <3
There isn't a more thoughtful, kind & respectful person that talks about wrestling on the internet than Matt. He's the best of us. Ask Tony about him.
You promote whatever BS deathmatches you want. All the light tubes, broken glass, barbed wire, and fire will never be as crazy to me as the footage of this moment is.
One of the most memorable angles ever in wrestling-Jos Leduc-The Blood Oath! @ShaneRu1558 @TonyKhan @SeanRossSapp @tonyrichards4 @buzzbaker @jwnoble @GoBigBluesBros @KySportsRadio @kevinmcguffey @MasanoriHorie
Édouard Carpentier vs Steve Stanlee, courtesy of Maple Leaf Wrestling! Édouard’s wrestling style takes a lot of inspiration from his gymnastics career!
There's also this color version from Scott Bowden's page. (RIP @TravScottBowden)
