I feel like Singh either made the right friends In Japan or was supremely over there because I've never seen him have a good match or gotten any impression that he was a compelling promo. Tiger Ali Singh might have been worse.

Venomous posted:One more match worth a look from that year, and idk why it isn't on World. Rick Steiner and Scott Norton vs. Keiji Mutoh and Hiroshi Hase for the IWGP Tag Team Championships from November 5th 1991. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x38elou Is that the one where they debuted the double team top rope DDT

Takuan posted:Allegedly Halme sucker punched a potentially drunk Norton, knocking him out. This supposedly led to him getting jobbed out before quitting the company in 1993. Starting poo poo with Scott Norton seems like a monumentally lovely idea.

Shiki Dan posted:So, uh, I guess this is kinda random and out-of-order, but I just found this match and figured this would be the place for it: I'd think the simple reason was they all speak English and they all happened to be there. If you wanna see really wacky teams, look at random WAR or FMW cards from the mid 90's where you have matches like Bob Backlund, Mil Mascaras, and Jimmy Snuka vs. The Eliminators (Saturn and Kronus) and Hector Garza or Horace Boulder (aka Horace Hogan), Tim Patterson, and Negro Casas vs. Atsushi Onita, Tarzan Goto, and el Hijo del Santo (which got 5 stars from Meltzer!) Like that's some Battlebowl poo poo, but with a 6 man setting and no particular reason to do the match. Japan has interesting philosophies when it comes to gaijin, and it's not unheard of in some companies for debuting guys to get placed high on the card as a test, Jericho alluded to this in his first book.

Aesop Poprock posted:Great thread. I’m a little late getting through it but in case no one else mentioned it, you’d said you hadn’t heard much of Buzz Sawyer so here’s Cornette with some pretty good stories of how insane and unpleasant he was Buzz is the fuckwit who ripped off Taker when Take was trying to get trained, right?
