I don't really wanna discuss religions on this forum, but I believe this is not to start thread/discussion. Just an info for an additional content on this website. Stan "The Lariat" Hansen wrote a testimony of faith in Christ for my website.

Click <a href='http://www.puroresu.com/wrestlers/hansen_stan/testimony.html' target='_blank'>here</a> to read.

I'm looking to eventually pick up some older puroresu and I was wondering what would be some recomended matches from the late 70s to the late 80s that would be worth picking up. I've got Maeda vs. Fujinami from '86 and some Jumbo/Tenryu stuff on my list, but not much else. Thanks in advane.

Can someone explain the fued to me? Who was involved? What were they fueding over? Exactly how did it change the face of puroresu?

You gotta understand some of Japanese culture to understand the feud.

In Japan, politics and seniority is usually more important than skill and knowledge. ...

Does anyone know of an accurate account of the WWF Women's title history?

So, FWA is the biggest in UK right now. I hear that the long-lived All-Star Promotions started recognizing FWA's Bristish Heavyweight title. However, according to <a href='http://fp.wrestalliance.plus.com/britishtitlehistories.htm' target='_blank'>this site</a>, a group called "The Wrestling Alliance" is claiming the lineage of old All-Star titles.

Anybody can explain this confusion in detail?

Hi

I am looking for title changes that were overturned or ignored.

for example

1] Hulk Hogan won the AWA World Heavyweight Title from Nick Bockwinkle and the decision was overturned because he threw Bockwinkle over the top rope during the match.

2] Chris Jericho wins the WWF World Heavyweight Title from Triple H but Triple H complains about a fast count and forces referee Earl Hebner to return the title to him.

3] Chris ...

Does anyone know which title is currently AAA's main title? I thought it was the IWC title, but now I'm hearing it's the UWA tite...
