Ok, All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling had its final card back in April this year, and I'm sure many of you have already read this on other websites, but I'll post it anyway since this probably indicated the "real" end of the promotion.

RIP - Kuni-san
Kunimatsu Matsunaga, the last president of All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, committed suicide around 6pm on 2005/08/15 by jumping off from the 7th floor of a building in Tokyo at the ...

I'm interesting about 8 fighters from 1980s, who supposedly come from Soviet Union: Victor Zangiev, Salman Hashimikov, Chimur Zarasov, Vladimir Berkovich, Andrei Sulsaev, Habiel Victachev, Wahka Eveloev. I tried a search on the web, but find nothing except their PPV/Supercard matches and titles, nothing concrete about them. , Hashimikov was IWGP World Champion, so he should be famous. Can anyone provide some info about this guys? They were legitimate Russians? At least they used more ...

I added "this day in puroresu history" on puroresu.com. Please check it out.

Not much info yet (especially title changes) but will be adding more.

I hope you'll like it.

Im working on some edits of 80s All Japan wrestlers and New Japan wrestlers in Fire Pro Advanced 1 and 2. I would really appreciate suggestions of who to make and what their special and favourite moves should be.

I could really use some info/moves for these guys (maybe pictures also)

I was always led to believe, from copious Internet reports, that during his New Japan debut match, Vader defeated Inoki in under three minutes.

So I finally got to see a match from that time period. It is definitely Vader and Inoki. I was informed it was their 12/27/87 encounter. According to purodvd.com who sells the event (see screenshot <a href='http://www.purodvd.com/njpwclassics111504.htm' target='_blank'>here</a>), I do indeed have the right match (you can see screens from the ...

I was wondering if anyone has purchased the Best of Inoki compilation tape series from goldenboytapes.com. I would like anyone whose purchased it or has seen a lot of the matches on it to review it for me and others who have not seen much of Inoki, and were interested in the comp.

Looking at your site here for the IWA (IWE) title I see this:

Superstar Billy Graham 74/08/16 Denver, CO
Mighty Inoue 74/10/07 Saitama

How did the site come up with the city, that I see this everywhere on the net?

I have this for my record book of Billy. Granted I know this tour is not complete as I am missing a few dates. But my question is on the city itself for the title ...

I saw this match last week. It was one of the best I've ever seen. Not sure of the exact date, but it was great.
