Look at that sweeping shot along the apron dude. Something about it so cinematic, fantastic stuff.
18 years ago today - Josh Barnett vs. Kiyoshi Tamura The opposition of sizes was pretty the main story of the fight. Josh using Capture Suplex, Akira Maeda signature technique, is a great reference on which he is trapped #田村潔司 #ジョシュ・バーネット @JoshLBarnett

Terry Funk RULES!
Stan Hansen x Hulk Hogan. An audience recording captures their non-televised first singles meeting in Japan at Korakuen Hall. (1981) 🌟
Ricky Steamboat x Bret Hart. One of the greatest matches in Boston wrestling history between two wrestlers in the “greatest of all time” discussion. (3.8.1986) 👑👑

I suppose one day Tiger Mask vs Dynamite will feel dated, but 42 years on and it's still fire.
47years ago today: Terry Funk defeated Jumbo Tsuruta in a 2 out of 3 falls match to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in Kuramae Kokugikan! #ajpw @TheDirtyFunker @davemeltzerWON

@TimHornbaker Well said, Tim. I’m looking forward to Corey Santos’ book on Jack Pfefer.
@TimHornbaker Agree! We're living in a great period for fantastic books about wrestling history - all made possible by dedicated readers who support those projects
A book more than a decade in the making. Must-read for anyone interested in pro wrestling history. Londos is one of the greatest stars in the history of the business and definitely has a story worth telling. And I can't think of a better guy to tell that story than Steve Johnson.
Update: @McFarlandCoPub is publishing The Golden Greek, my book on the life and times of Jim Londos with a foreword by @JCLayfield. At @TNTHOF a few years ago, @JRsBBQ called Londos the man who saved the wrestling business. Stay tuned.
