We’re back to Korakuen Hall for the second of three days of the Fantasticamania tour – this time we’re looking at the Saturday show.
The annual Fantasticamania collaboration between New Japan and CMLL continued, with the first of three broadcast shows on Friday.
We’ve barely touched upon lucha libre on this website, for no good reason apart from “I’m just one man” and “there’s barely enough hours in the day”! However, in the name of variety, I’ve managed to get hold of CMLL’s 83rd Anniversary show from last month. Here, I’ll be taking a look at the Aniversario show, through the eyes of a total rookie to the lucha libre scene…
It’s that time again, as we continue our search on the world wide web for the freely available gems of matches that can provide a quick distraction from what the current wrestling scene. This week, most of our action comes from the United Kingdom, featuring a British legend and a former TNA champion.
If you’ve been keeping score, we’ve been watching a fair bit of Japanese wrestling. Indeed, the Dragon Lee vs. Kamaitachi match from the New Japan/CMLL jointly-promoted “Fantasticamania” show on January 24 has been one of our favourite matches of the year so far. This past Friday night, back in Mexico, they went at it again… did it match their efforts in Tokyo?
As a wrestling fan, one of my personal goals for this year has been to broaden my horizons away from the current-day WWE product. Whilst the in-ring product isn’t bad (and with the quality on the current roster, how can it?), the creative tied to those matches can often be deflating. So, to provide some variety, I’ll be trawling the internet and reviewing random matches from around the world (as opposed to entire shows).
