E.K’s Wrestling Place

 This show is the next show to take place in the new Tokyo Dome. The reborn UWF is our next promotion to run the Dome. Maeda had recently left NJPW again after another falling out with Management and continues to push the envelope on what wrestling can be. Tatsuo Nakano vs Shigeo Miyato Really frantic strikes out of a clinch to begin. The mat work is not either mans strength however the strikes out of a standing clinch is quite excellent. This is very much shoot style, two guys going for legitimate techniques centered around pro wrestling ideas and is done quite well. The standing work and grappling whilst standing is definitely the highlight of this match, whilst the grounded work is kinda just there. They do it cause they feel they have to. Miyato knocks downs Nakano but Nakano is able to meet the count but is quickly downed again in a flurry of action; is able to keep fighting through but Miyato finds a nasty variation of a half crab. Miyato is now the one to be knocked down by ...

 This is a card I saw a friend on Twitter mention wanting to find and I saw three of these matches and just knew I needed to watch and review it, boy am I glad I did.  Tengu Barron Tengu Kaiser vs Munenori Sawa Naoki Ueda Quick opening between Ueda and Tengu with holds traded, before the other the other Tengu tags in and is taken down by a shoulder block and a dropkick. This match is quite clipped but what is shown is pretty good all around. Tengus win after a splash by the red one. Get around 2 minutes of a 13 minute match. No rating due to it being that severely clipped. Koji Kanemoto Ryusuke Taguchi vs Shota Takanishi Tatsuhito Takaiwa Taguchi does a taunting dance as he is introduced that got a chuckle from me. Takaiwa and Kanemoto are jawing before the match as the old NJPW Jr. stalwarts begin this match. Incredible mat work, followed by heavy ass chops as expected. The mat work is beyond crisp and I could watch these two wrestle for eternity. Kanemoto is an ultra dick a...

  This is my beginning of covering the famed UWA promotion.   November 3rd 1991. Opens with an announcer welcoming us to the arena before cutting to Alcatraz and Maria Teresa Medina giving us the black down of the card. Villano 1 Villano IV Villano V vs Black Power Rambo The England One of the Villanos and the England to start with llave work. The mat work is quite excellent as one would expect. Fully llave as it should be. Villano I I believe know in as is Rambo who quickly powders to the outside. Black Power and one of the Villanos working quickly now picking the match up off the mat before Rambo is tagged back in. Rambo is fantastic here however the Villanos as a team are fantastic eventually winning fall number 1 via role up. Continue to work with Rambo before Power tags in now to work over a Villano who quickly moves to the outside allowing another Villano to knock Black Power out of the ring. I enjoy all 6 men's work in this match. They are working quick after starting o...

Hi, This is my list of the top matches not from WWE/AEW of the week. I do allow myself to have ROH matches on this list just do to how little recognition it does get despite being a quite good product if a hair lacking. (Not listed here but do highly recommended the Adam Priest Workhorsemen vs Sky team match from the honorclub episode this week.) There are spoilers ahead, a ton of spoilers if that bothers you I do recommend just scrolling to see the match-ups and going to watch them then coming back. This will be a weekly article that I will be doing every week. Last week was truly a busy week with a ton of awesome wrestling.  10. Dream Star GP Day 7: Chika Goto vs Mayu Iwatani This match was in Chika's hometown meaning the crowd was red hot. Whilst Mayu is the icon and will be cheered a majority of the time this match was not one of them. In response Mayu worked this one leaning heel. I really enjoyed a more dominating Mayu when the audience wants nothing more then for Chika to w...
