ayy boy.

Virus/Titan from January, watched it three times already, and it gets better and better:




Virus is the Top 10 wrestler in the world, the guy can do it all. Goddamn, I'm gonna open a lucha thread later:

I don't watch lucha but damn that was awesome and Virus was really impressive. Any other good lucha matches to check out?

This match was from last year, it gave New Japan's classics a run for their money:


Heavy matwork, struggle, tremendous pace... VIRUS!

 

[Pop Tatari]

Another classic match, some of the holds I have never seen before.Thank You for posting.

Check this excellence of pro-wrestling from Virus from back when he was a mini:

Clown, you might know more on this than I so I am asking. Is there any familiar/blood relation between D-Hash and K-hash? I can't find any info on it so I assume there isn't but do you know anything on the subject?

 

[Bort]

Nope, I'm 99% sure. Hashimoto is a common last name over there. It just happened they're of similar age, heh. Daichi is the son of New Japan's most belowed legend ever, Shinya Hashimoto, he debuted in 2010/11, and right off the bat, he was destined to fill his dad's shoes, he's just 21 and already faced some elite puro legends such as Chono, Muto, Takayama, Otani, Sasaki, etc. His contract with Z1 (the fed founded by his dad) expired one week ago, and he refused to sign a new one, he chose to go freelance (a la Takayama, MiSu, etc.), therefore we will see him in almost every fed out there. He said he wants to go overseas as well. Currently he's sidelined with a jaw injury (Tenryu), until June.

I think it's only a matter of time before New Japan picks him and gives him a proper treatment. Sure, it's a GIGANTIC pressure for a 21- year old boy to make a follow-up on his dad's career, but they're gonna try anyway. He even uses his legendary theme song (0:25):




But as of now, Kazuki is way better, more charismatic and just... better overall. Check EVERYTHING from him this year.

All it took for me to get on their bandwagons was the tag match from BJW. Kaz is schweeet

 

[THG?]

Ishii vs. Ibushi is definitely one.
