Thread 18116251

good evening /pw/ I am wanting to get into watching japanese wrestling, preferably pre-2010's stuff. I know g1 climax and wrestle kingdom are both great events/ppv's to watch
are there any other historic ppv/events that I should add to my list to watch?
did japan even do big events the same way other promotions did ppv's back in the day or are they more big "shows"?

the lot

That's Razor Ramon Hard Gay vs The Esperanza. The woman on the stage is the reborn former concubine of the fascist leader of the promotion (General Takeda) named Yingling the Erotic Terrorist. What's there not to understand?
