I used to love this stuff. Would study it like some study roto-league baseball. Was a local expert in the art of Japanese wrestling, technical submissions and the WWF Intercontinental belt. Could not be swayed from thinking Dean Malenko was under-appreciated and deserved a better push.
Sometimes, I miss it – not for the pomp and storylines as much as for the technical and behind-the-scenes aspects of it all: the classification of terms, the organization of skills, the characters fitting together and moving around like party members in a game of Final Fantasy.
Other times, I take a look at that sentence I just wrote and realize how big of a dork I really am.
Stinko Malenko was old before he was even born. Who cares about 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation wrestlers?
Just kidding. I think about wrestling a lot. I used to rent all of the old Wrestlemania and Survivor Series videos from the video store in Fargo. Pretty much weekly. I miss those days.

No “magistral cradle” or “enziguri”?
@Mike – I did the same thing. I used to have a collection of old Royal Rumbles – I thought they painted the best picture of each year’s roster. You’d see dudes that you’d never seen before nor ever see again.
@John – Trust me. The list could have been a thousand (and one) moves long.
LOL.
You’re so face.
Huge dork.
