This is the premiere edition on AXS. Hiroshi Tanahashi welcomes us the program. He’s said to be a one-of-a-kind talent, but doesn’t tell us he’s the champion and face of the company, which I suppose would come across as kind of douchey. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NOOBS WATCHING AT HOME WHO DON’T KNOW? He talks about his two biggest opponents over the last several years: Kazuchika Okada and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Your English-speaking commentators are Mauro Ranallo and former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett. Ranallo might just be the new Mike Hogewood of HDNet wrestling. Where do they keep finding these guys?

MATCH OF THE NIGHT~! PURO STYLE~! Takada/Maeda v. Fujiwara/Yamazaki from 9/1/87!
Team UWF has exploded! This is during the UWF invasion of New Japan that inspired the WCW/nWo angle in 1996. Yoshiaki Fujiwara and Kazuo Yamazaki were part of the invasion, but now they have left the UWF crew and vying for the IWGP tag team titles held by Team UWF leader’s Nobuhiko Takada and Akira Maeda! If you’re NEW to Japanese wrestling, expand your horizons and check it out!
More Nitro and Raw ’97 recaps coming tomorrow!

I am totally in the mood for some puroresu.
The Owen Hart YouTube Mixtape (Part 1)
Anyone who uses Dailymotion anymore knows they have constant commercial interruptions and I just don’t want to put you through that in order to enjoy this edition of the mixtape. I’m sticking with loyal YouTube that doesn’t succumb us to commercials for wrestling matches because no one can become a partner unless you own the material. Anyways!
So Owen Hart wins by a landslide. Not surprising, but no one even came close. Read the rest of this entry
