20 years ago Saturday,
@HAGENKI1
became an overnight sensation by going to the finals of El Numero Uno 2003. I spoke to him, and countless others, about his career, his legacy, and The Backslide From Heaven. Give it a read.

This match doesn't have the legacy it deserves because it's been sitting behind a paywall for a decade and now the owners of the footage see no value in it, but truly one of the great indie matches of all-time. A dream match that delivered on every expectation.

Everyone that praised that McAfee/Vince interview should be reminded of it constantly and routinely mocked
I said this at the time, but the people chanting "Thank You Vince" and glamorizing his career earlier this year were going to look really, really bad because the stuff we know about Vince is likely the tip of the iceberg.

THIS MATCH - the hidden gem of 90s MPro. Possibly the greatest hidden gem of 90s puro, in general. A near-perfect match with some of the greatest to ever do it. If you've never seen it, you need to change that.
The Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, Gran Naniwa & Masato Yakushiji x TAKA Michinoku, Dick Togo, Shiryu & MEN’s Teioh. Another scorcher for the Michinoku Pro crew in Battlarts during a year they’d produce incredible tags across multiple promotions. (1.21.1997) 🌟

Not the first one to bring it up, obviously, but I'm routinely saddened by the outright racism that the non-US wrestlers on the AEW roster face. An all-too-normal part of the anti-AEW discourse.

A career of failure should not override a few quarters of success. Roman Reigns is not a HOFer, and his looming induction into the Hall sets a scary long term precut.
@WONHOFTracker
"Roman Reigns, one of the most visible stars of the century, has failed upwards his entire career, and now he's at risk of being recognized as a HOFer."

(

@WONF4W

When Reigns gets voted into the WON HOF (it’s a when, not an if), it will represent such an abject failure by the voting pool. If he were voted in this year, he’d be the biggest mistake since Nakamura. A complete misunderstanding of what the Hall should represent.
Dave Meltzer says that Sami Zayn is currently the biggest TV draw for WWE right now (bigger than Roman) and that the company made a mistake not putting the titles on him at last night's PPV.

It's such a shame that the worms-for-brains wrestling media has convinced an overwhelming majority that matches like PAC/Gravity don't have a place on TV. That didn't need to serve a greater purpose. It was excellent for what it was.

Today marks 25 since Susumu Mochizuki debuted. Arguably the most consistent high-level wrestler in the world during that time period. One of the greatest to ever do it and forever underrated.
