As many of you know, I love Japanese Wrestling and I have for a long time, and my favorite time was in the 90s and early 2000s of AJPW. Why? Because there were a lot of great matches in that time frame alone that will outdo most of today's wrestling and had some the best storytelling ever seen. That isn't the point fo this thread though. The point of this thread is to explore my favorite style of Wrestling. King's Road. I recently found this guy's YouTube videos that explain some of the most important matches that defined this style of Wrestling. I hope it better explains it and i hope you enjoy.

I've been increasingly more interested in getting into All Japan. It's just a shame that the stylistic variation in Japanese wrestling is basically non-existent outside of Dragon Gate employing the hybrid lucha style. Everything else is basically New Japan Strong Style, which is entertaining but I think All Japan's style was stylistically more entertaining to watch.

How about pro Noah? Your fascination still real?
