Does anyone know if Hustle Kamen is Kuinshibou Kamen? Mask de No Fear I guess is Yoshihiro Takayama...

[Luds]

This card doesn't look that good to me.

Am I the only one who still cares about title matches?

[edgehead1984]

It does look good, but he lack of title matches is due to the fact that these shows are run by DSE.

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

And you know that I care about the title matches, right?

I just don't believe in having too many title changes.

[Luds]

Very true Hisa, or having 10 titles in 1 promotion... Like Z1

[El Pollo Guerrera]

I see him on the poster, but where is Joe Son on the card? Is he just going to walk out in his thong and sing again?

*shudder*

[edgehead1984]

no, no, no, no, no

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

Mask de No Fear cancelled the card and will be replaced by "Ann Joe".

The complete lineup will be announced on the day the card will take place.

Some pics...

[Luds]

Is this whole costume wrestling getting over in Japan?

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

According to my friends in Japan, both W-1 and Hustle cards were/are silly imitation of WWE.

[Luds]

I see... so the wrestling must suffer...

Sad thing.

[edgehead1984]

Of course... sadly, but it would still be better than McMahonland...
