Few days ago there was a discussion about iconic phrases said during matches, answers were the likes of Shawn in Flair’s retirement, Hashimoto in the G1 against Choshu, Choshu January 1986, Bubba ray to Taz etc and IMO, this moment is worth the mention: The last struggle of Moriyama. #WrestleSky 🤼‍♂️

Hajime Moriyama vs Takeshi Ono (Fu-Ten 1/30/2011) 🤼 The return of Moriyama to the ring -after recovering from a broken jaw that kept him out for months- which happened to be his retirement! Takeshi Ono decided that night to give his opponent a proper send off, and by that I mean on a stretcher.

When you watch early Yamamoto stuff and the way he was presented compared to how his career went after Tamura’s arrival then yeah, no wonder he tried to kill him in every match they had! Hell people should be thankful he didn’t load the gun after this. #WrestleSky 🤼

‏Akira Maeda vs Yoshihisa Yamamoto (RINGS 12/16/94) Magical night for Yamamoto where his determination for greatness won the crowd to a point they booed their Ace! A night Maeda brought reality back to by reminding everyone that generation shifts doesn’t come easily. #WrestleSky #RINGS

Dick Vrij vs Willie Peeters (RINGS 12/7/91) 🤼 While Vrij was an absolute monster, The way Peeters appreciated the fight with a courageous reckless style made the match for me and for that crowd who went nuts for him. Some glimpses of future MMA main stream figures. RINGS MOTY. #WrestleSky

28 Years Today, Taue & Kawada vs Akiyama & Misawa (AJPW 12/6/96) 🤼 A masterpiece in tag team wrestling from the golden era of Kings Road. The Kawada’s Punishment butterfly effect and its direct ties to this match existence and reputation today is worth studying. #AJPW #WrestleSky #GME

Andrei Kopylov vs Volk Han (RINGS 3/5/93) 🤼‍♂️ Rough night for Kopylov, he entered with a shoulder injury that Volk targeted, kept searching for solutions whether by taking a southpaw stand during striking or shifting focus to the mat but Volk’s hunger for revenge was too much. These two are a blast.

35 Years Today 🤼‍♂️ , Genichiro Tenryu flew before the bell towards the 51-year old then Giant Baba, leaving us with a shocking scene that will be immortalized in memory! A master class from Baba in working over body limitations, One of my all time favorite AJPW matches. #WrestleSky #AJPW

Volk Han vs Andrei Ruminezei (RINGS 1/23/93) 🤼 After a great year in 92 as a super rookie, Volk started 93 with a bang against an opponent who I don’t have much knowledge about but surely was skilled and made Volk dig deep. Very underrated bout and one of RINGS best ones at that point imo.

Yuki Ishikawa idolized Inoki, did his moves, wore similar gear and adopted his philosophy until he created his own vision giving us some of the greatest wrestling ever is the form of Bati-Bati. Idolizing inoki is about creating your own identity & leaving a mark, not just repeating a phrase. 🤼‍♂️
