    General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

    I mean I don't wind myself up about people doing business - it's where the money comes from to make this leisure stuff - but as much as HHH comes off much better than 20 years ago, I've always assumed he wouldn't have gotten over the essential politicised narcissism that drove his whole in-ring...

    Last Wrestling Match Watched 2.0

    Watched 6-3-94 last night. It really is so good, even if the big chase thrills can't last once you know the results. The only niggle, I think, is that this is one of the most obvious instances of Misawa deciding eventually he isn't going to sell anymore, aka Supermanning. He's less extreme about...

    Owen Watches Kyushu Pro

    This weekend's shows are going up on YouTube from tomorrow so I'll get out the recap for that at the end of the week, probably. Just really reliably entertaining wrestling.

    Hello!

    First time on a wrestling *forum* in decades. I was active for a few years on SmarksChoice back in the day, but have only recently really gotten into watching prowres regularly again, rather than occasionally with friends. Happy to be here!

    Owen Watches Kyushu Pro

    Kyushu Pro Wrestling 16/03/2025 and 30/03/2025 – REVIEW What’s Going On? I watch a lot of classic wrestling – it’s my main interest in pro-wres – but had come across Kyushu Pro (KPW, not to be confused with KSUWF) a couple of times, I think initially by seeing that’s where TAJIRI now...
