Way better than anything over here in the US, right? You could probably book a Sharmell v Morasca rematch in Japan and that would get at least 4 stars despite being basically the exact same (hideously bad) match. I wonder who wouldn't be able to get a 4 star out there.

Lots of people... because they can't wrestle any worse than 4 and a half stars. ;D
But yeah... I can understand why people have a use for star ratings for wrestling matches, but I personally don't have a use for them. If I enjoy the match, then nuts to everyone else who says otherwise.

It is really crazy how Meltzer gave so much of the same guys in AJPW in the 90s 5 Star ratings and so forth.
You'd think they slipped him some money or so forth.

Eh, I barely keep up with wrestling over here anymore. I don't really want to look at any international products.

Either that, or he was just a mark for Mitsuharu Misawa. Eh, I barely keep up with wrestling over here anymore. I don't really want to look at any international products. I've been trying to expand my horizons somewhat recently, myself. For example, over the last month I've picked up a few SHIMMER DVDs. They're the highly-rated all-women promotion. And it's given me a bit of perspective and comparison between the SHIMMER women and the WWE Divas... I mean, the best matches at SHIMMER can be comparable to a good-to-great TV match by the men on RAW, but the matches earlier in the card aren't really that much better than most Divas matches. Then again, most people are already expecting the SHIMMER match to be good and the Divas match to be bad, so they'll see what they want to see to suit their opinion going in.

Currently, only thing I watch is old stuff on DVDs or Netflix. Probably not changing that any time soon - WWE I have no interest in, while for TNA I most of the time just forget to give it a look because I don't really care that much. Then there's indy stuff which... Yeah, no.

When I am done with watching every match on that list, I will probably get back to collecting old WCW and ECW PPVs. Stopped at 1996, but there is still a lot to get.

Not to mention Kawada.
I am currently in that part of the list and believe me, it is so good when somepony else like Stan Hansen, Steve Williams etc. appears as a relief from the norm.

I think when I am done with this, I will say that I prefer the North American style to the Japanese style shown there.

I tried watching Japanese puroresu some time ago, but couldn't get into it. Maybe I just didn't watch the right matches.

Oh, those Crusaders. Soon they'll get a cutie mark in failing to get their cutie mark.

Next time, they should try for a planking cutie mark. Safer to do

Knowing how this was the closest thing they could do for skydiving, not very well I'd take it.

I wonder if their destiny gets warped as well in the final.
