Wrestler of the Day - 10/13: Tomohoro Ishii!

Short synopsis for each Wrestler and Match of the Day blogs this week.

Today's Wrestler of the Day is the hard-hitting, "Stone Pitbull" Tomohoro Ishii!

Like Hirooki Goto, I see Tomohoro Ishii as one of the best wrestlers to never hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Ishii is also a guy that the late great Bruiser Brody would be very proud of, due to he notable brawling style. What baffled me about him at first was not necessary his skill set, but how he was being used in New Japan Pro Wrestling. He was an undercard guy at best, which caused him to gain a cult following of fans. The cult following resulted in his pushed, and as you can see in the picture above, it worked out really well. Ishii is now a four-time (and current) NEVER Openweight Champion, which was his first major title with the promotion. Thankfully enough, his status in NJPW continues to rise, and now he has two 5 Star Matches to his credit: one against Katsuyori Shibata (2013) and another underrated wrestler, Tomoaki Honma (2015).

Here's one of the 5 Star Matches I mentioned, where he faces off against Tomoaki Honma back on February 14th, 2015.

Wrestler of the Day - 10/3: A.J. Styles!

I apologize for the lateness. Weather's been really nerve-racking down here. Just going to make these next couple of posts short and sweet.

Today's Wrestler of the Day is "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, whom I believe has been on the top o his game every since his departure from TNA over a year ago. Now, he is one of the best gajins of recent memory, and he is a member of the global phenomenon known as The Bullet Club. With two reigns as IWGP Heavyweight Champion already under his belt, what is next for "The Phenomenal One"?

Here is a classic encounter in New Japan Pro Wrestling, when he faces of against Tetsuya Naito from this year's WrestleKingdom 9!

Match of the Day - 9/17/2015: The Young Bucks vs. Time Splitters!

Today's Match of the Day is another junior heavyweight tag team match of New Japan Pro Wrestling. I don't know if I am very obsessed with these matches, or if these guys continuously put on classic matches. Either way, the match of the day goes to: Bullet Club members Matt & Nick Jackson of the The Young Bucks vs. Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA of The Time Splitters! This match took place at the New Beginning in Osaka on February 11th, 2014. This match greatly shows that these two teams are not only two of the best teams on the planet, but individually some of the best high flyers in the business today. Enjoy this one, folks. You're gonna be in for a ride!

This highly-acclaimed match  was awarded 2014 Match of the Year by Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter. If ya ask me, this match not only cemented A.J. Styles' overall legacy as a wrestler, it also cemented him as a top gajin (foreign wrestler) in Japan. Oh, and we cannot forget the always incredible Minoru Suzuki, who - to his credit, has continued to be a top contender for every other major title in and out of New Japan Pro Wrestling. This is truly pro wrestling at its finest. Enjoy!

Wrestler of the Day - 9/15: Shinsuke Nakamura!

I'm adding new components to this blog, because quite frankly, I'm tired of seeing just results to the same weekly shows every week. JEEZUS. Today, I begin my first "Wrestler of the Day" blog. Although I would like to post for every single day, I know that if time doesn't persist, then there will not be one for that day. In this particular post, I will provide a short synopsis of the wrestler (or tag teams) and a match that greatly depicts their awesomeness. Ready? Okay! 

Today's Wrestler of the Day... none other than the "King of Strong Style" himself, Shinsuke Nakamura! 

The ever electrifying and eccentric Shinsuke Nakamura has been a prominent figure in Japan's Puroresu for the last decade. Whether it be putting on 5-Star Classics against the likes of Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi and Kazuchika Okada; or bringing the relatively new IWGP Intercontinental Championship the prestige it has today. Nakamura continues to amaze audiences with his killer Strong Style trademark and undeniable charisma across the globe.  

Here's one of his highly acclaimed matches, where he defends the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Kota Ibushi on January 4th, 2015 at Wrestle Kingdom 9.
