Here's a really novel thread with 10 matches from French wrestling in 1957

So if you want to see something firmly outside of the modern wheelhouse this seems like something.

Strong recommend. This stuff is wild and you don’t need to watch very long before you get the flavor.

Corgis love bread. And Puro


Remember this thread? Well, Coronavirus is still going on so why the hell not?

Someone on the AJPW Reddit has linked to their Dailymotion account where they've uploaded all but 2 of the AJPW Triple Crown Championship matches

https://www.reddit.com/r/ajpw/comments/i4ujux/every_ajpw_triple_crown_match_ever_minus_2/

Why is this cool? Well it's a belt that's been won by some of the all time greats: Jumbo Tsuruta, Genichiro Tenryu, Stan Hansen, Mistuhara Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Terry Gordy, Vader, Steve Williams, Toshiaki Kawada, Akira Taue, Keiji Mutoh, Satoshi Kojima, Kensuke Sasaki, Minoru Suzuki, Shinya Hashimoto, Jun Akiyama, Kento Miyahara. And while a lot of the footage is easy to find out there, especially the 90s Four Pillars stuff, 2000s post-NOAH split AJPW is incredibly hard to find online, & AJPW.tv only goes back to 2018 I think. But as awesome as all this is (& it is) they haven't been uploaded in any real order. But he's helpfully put up playlists by year: https://www.dailymotion.com/sugarlipsjohnson/playlists from 1989's first match, Jumbo Tsuruta vs Stan Hansen all the way to Suwama vs Shotaro Ashino from June this year (he's not uploaded Ishikawa's title challenge yet but that's easy enough to find if you're a completionist)

The missing matches are the 29th June 2014 Takao Omori vs Suwama match which is the only Triple Crown match not filmed as far as we know & one of the missing matches is the 1st half of Minoru Suzuki's 29/8/10 defence against Suwama because the uploader had some problems with Kaze Ni Nare but here's the full match: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x17mzr9

So I know what I'm doing instead of anything useful.

It's been a year, we all still can't do anything outside unless you live in Australia or New Zealand or Vietnam so hey, time for another dumb of free wrestling

https://twitter.com/KVR216/status/1354251867908431876?s=20

Osaka Pro is a Japanese indie company that mixed high flying action with comedy wrestling who ran largely in Osaka. A big influence on Chikara. Founded by Super Delfin who you may have seen in his New Japan appearances (he was in the first Super J Cup & the first Best of the Super Juniors), he had spent the 90s mainly wrestling for Michinoku Pro who were focused on running mostly in Tohoku. Anyway, there's an awful lot there to dive into.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Probably worth mentioning Colega Pro Wrestling here.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbvjqykwRnW1qsAAjAlzUhQ

They have only been running shows for about a month, but in that time they have uploaded seventeen full shows to Youtube, ranging from an hour and a half to two hours. The shows are pretty good quality puroresu and feature people like CIMA and the rest of Strong Hearts alongside The Bodyguard (although they also hired noted creep Dylan James). They seem committed to a schedule of six shows a week, which is a hell of a lot of wrestling to put out for free.

Colega is also a good place to see those Osaka Pro wrestlers. The Dylan James thing really sucks because before that they'd built up a good Western fanbase who were really eager to promote the hell out of them and the YouTube chat was always top fun and then they really lived up to their "This is Pro Wrestling" mantra. The saddest thing is that the first show after the Dylan James thing, Yunamon and Minoru Fujita showed up in the chat obviously expecting that same banter that had been in the earlier shows only to find it dead.

They've also found themselves in some dumb Twitter drama with Ancham so gently caress them.

Wasn't sure whether to post this before, since the thread was a few pages back, but if it's back up on the first I'll post it here:

WWE had my original newLegacyinc Watches Wrestling Archive page taken down. Because I'm spiteful, I immediately reuploaded everything onto a new Archive page that you can find here:

https://archive.org/details/newlegacyinc-watches-wrestling

You get 36 different wrestling shows with the gang at newLegacy providing commentary including WrestleKingdom 11, 12, and 13, WCW Spring Stampede 1999, Mania 36 Nights 1 and 2, and a ton of others.

If any of you guys have any requests, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to update them.

They stopped booking her and then unfollowed her on Twitter so she ended up really confused and sad because she thought she'd done something wrong

That's AEW Superstar Peter Avalon's former championship tag team partner Nick Lovin to you!

Jokes aside, cool to see he's still going. e: Without having put on an ounce of muscle since he posted here to boot! :v:

If you haven't seen this match between Danielson and Hero from PWG, it's free on Highspots now and you really should watch

(Bad news, it's Excalibur and Joey Ryan on commentary. I'd forgotten that)

Its a loving great match, probably the best non-Guerilla Warfare match in company history

I finally got around to watching a match forums user GEORGE W BUSHI mentioned in passing a while back and wanted to share with you all, Konosuke Takeshita vs Yuni from DDT in January 2019. It's the Ace of DDT, and one of the most talented wrestlers in the world, against an 11 year old girlboy. It's so much fun, Takeshita is such a shithead to the oppenent he so clearly outmatches it's kind of baffling he's the whitest of whitemeat babyfaces at the moment when this is just below the surface. Also features a real solid looking Kamigoye from Yuni, as well as a variety of nice looking diving attacks. It's one thing to have a match with a sex doll (Yoshihiko), you don't have to worry about hurting it to get into the right position, it's another when you're a full grown man trying not to hurt a child as you put together a performance. Watch the match, it's only 15 minutes.

Yuni is a boy, but yeah Takeshita as a shithead heel is where he shines the most.

DDT just put up his match with Maki Itoh on YouTube from around the same time where he did the same bully gimmick and it's so good

Yes, it's a playlist of every 2002 ROH show. Someone has uploaded 2002 through 2008. Pretty rad.
