NWA recently announced that it had stripped CMLL of the prestigeous NWA titles in three divisions: Light Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Welterweight.



Many believe that CMLL will ignore this and continue to recognize its version of the titles anyway. From what I've read, NWA Mexico hasn't really run many cards. Who knows when they will actually crown the new champs.

For time being, I will keep the listings as they are.

I was wondering if anyone had the full card results for the following New Japan tours featuring WWF Champions Bob Backlund and Hulk Hogan:

Jun.2/80(Backlund)-Jun.4/80

Aug.22/80(Backlund)-Sep.3/80

Dec.3/80(Backlund)-Dec.10/80

Feb.2/84 (Hogan)
Feb.3/84
Feb.4/84
Feb.5/84
Feb.7/84
Feb.9/84

Jun.8/94 (Hogan)
Jun.9/84
Jun.10/84
Jun.11/84
Jun.12/84
Jun.13/84
Jun.14/84

A shocking story has been spreading among the fans in Japan since an announcement was made by the legendary heel Dump Matsumoto in her own blog (in Japanese).

Apparently, her doctor told her that she only has three more years in her life. No detail was provided in the blog except that she could drink beer twice a week.

Jahno.

Please pray for New Japan legend Kantaro Hoshino, who has been hospitalized since 2009/02/04 due to stroke.



New Japan will be sending the entire profit from selling the T-shirt (pic) to Hoshino.

New Japan president Naoki Sugabayashi visited Hoshino on 2009/03/13 and saw him wearing "Inoki-ism" jersey and using a towel with New Japan logo as pillow cover.

Starring Kenji Sakaguchi, a very popular actor, and his father who is a true puroresu legend.

On 1999/1/31, Giant Baba passed away.

A lot of things in the puroresu scene has changed since then, but there's one thing that hasn't: we still don't have any wrestler who is greater than Giant Baba or Antonio Inoki.

I have a question regarding the title belt Konnan was wearing when he fought Psychosis at the WCW Clash of the Champions in January 1996.

I cannot find a championship won by Konnan that fits for this point of time. The IWAS, IWC and AAA Championships have been won some time later, sometimes just a few days later (according to the information accessable on this website).

Konnan has been announced as "Mexican Heavyweight Champion" and ...

Former IWE star Great Kusatsu passed away on 2008/06/21 at the age of 66.

RIP...
