>>5330220Huh, '84 is far, far earlier than I would've imagined for that kind of stuff, that's crazy. I'll definitely look into it! It looks like I'll have my hands full for this week, but I should find the time to at least do the first one until next week.
If you weren't here the week I did that, you might enjoy Minoru Tanaka vs. Takehiro Murahama. It's an early 2000's NJPW Jr. bout but everything you wouldn't expect from that description. They do ultra tight shoot-style wrestling with tons of mat work that eventually morphs into a mix of that and a more traditional Jr. match, then ends with a hardway from shoot headbutts. Super cool stuff. I'm going to try to make webms of one of Tanaka's old BattlARTS matches for tomorrow because I ran across it tonight. Seems fitting enough, and having only done one of his matches seems like too little.
