Much Appreciated. One of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and one of two people that were really successful with two completely different gimmicks. Everybody knows the other one.

I am not sure about the NWO idea was taken out of Japan. Where did you get this from? The NWO started in WCW, then there was an NWO Japan after that. But you said the idea was taken from Japan. Not sure if that is true.

World Cup of Wrestling was Starrcade 1995.

I think it was for the Wrestle Kingdom 3.

Really? DC has been upper-midcard for a while now

erick bischoff said it in the rise and fall of wcw dvd

he took the idea from japan

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

from wikipedia

The nWo storyline was an idea WCW Executive Vice President Eric Bischoff came up with after attending a New Japan Pro Wrestling show. He wanted to do an invasion-type angle where WCW was kayfabe being sabotaged by another wrestling group (initially insinuated as being the WWF, since its founding members had previously wrestled for the company). The nWo was originally portrayed as a separate entity from WCW (often, propaganda-style vignettes and product commercials concerning the nWo were preceded by an "interruption in the feed", and a voice proclaiming, "The following announcement has been paid for by the New World Order").

Just funny seeing Hogan actually wrestle for once.

THis is a GEM

I remember him...he was like a japanese golddust. lmao.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Japanese Goldust? How because of the face paint? Come on now. Don't disrespect Muta by comparing him to Goldust.

yo that match is hilarious, bob sapps move-set is 

and the flying headbutt at the end and then muta blows him up from the ramp

 

[GL Rayner]

Great Muta is def. one of my favorites of all time. The Dream Match in Japan where him and Sting teamed up and wrestled the Steiner Bros. was a Classic

Muta vs Liger

legendary match.

I'm not gonna lie though. I was always more of a AJPW fan than NJPW. Even my SN is a riff off of my main dude Toshiaki Kawada, Dangerous K

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Ah DangerousG, that is cool we have a Kawada fan on here. I got into AJPW late. But the head drops over there were way too much. I was like.......................when I got around to those.

Speaking of All Japan, how many of these matches have you seen?

I've seen the majority of the early 90s matches on that list. I have a bunch VHS tape sets of that era from back when tape trading/buying was still cool.

And yeah...the head drops are a little tough to watch, especially now with what happened to Misawa. I still haven't gone back to watch any of his matches since.

 

[tommy wong]

the bumps dudes take in japan are redic, still doin drivers n all that
that burning hammer compilation on youtube is gnarly

Man Muta was my dude back in the day..When I was little I used to yell out "MUTA" right before I'd try to moonsault my wrestling buddy..
