MOTHERF***ING BURNING HAMMER!!!
The J-Mann's weekly puro wrestling report

I'm back! I am the J-Mann, Josh Haggard, and it's time, it's time, it's...not Vader time. He's got a broken arm. What it *IS* time for is for me to get off my lazy ass and write the weekly run down of the latest news from Japan, and, of course, my opinions, that nobody seems to give a damn about. I'm going to pull a Barker and say this out loud: I LOVE E-MAIL. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, SEND ME E-MAIL. DO SO, NOW. Just say "Hi Josh!", or ask for porn, or whatever. I don't care. Just do it. For more Puroresu information, multimedia, live pay per view results (certainly not as good as your God's, CRZ's), and archives of my columns, check out www.j-mann.com (that is, if Mr. KZim is kind enough to link me up. Thanks Chris!), or your local public library. And now, back to the Reading Rainbow...

I'm about to run down the CRZ style nicknames of all the All Japan guys that I'm going to use, so pay attention! Some of them won't have their names by them next time. Now, finally, to the column:

Good lord! All Japan is the Titanic and THE STANDARD BEARER OF FUTURE GENERATIONS, HEAD DROPPER EXTRAORDINARE, AND MR. TIGAAAH DRIVAAAH, MITSUHARU MISAWA, is a frickin' iceberg! The following wrestlers are following Misawa out of All Japan, and into his group, tentatively named NOAH: As reported before, ORANGE CRAZY KENTA KOBASHI, as well as NODOWAMAN AKIRA TAUE, are gone, plus these 25 men: BLUE THUNDAA JUN AKIYAMA (he's also a BIG name), LITTLE MISAWA YOSHINARI OGAWA (a fairly big name, he was Misawa's partner), "NO FE-AH" TAKAO OMORI & YOSHIHIRO TAKAYAMA (AKA No Fear, these two were #1 contenders for the tag titles), IT TASTES LIKE BURNING KENTARO SHIGA (a member of Kenta Kobashi's Burning stable), MITSUO MOMOTA (he was mainly a booker), RUSHER KIMURA (a long time AJPW mainstay), HARUKA EIGEN, TSUYOSHI KIKUCHI, SATURO ASAKO, MASAO INOUE, I HATE JUN IZUMIDA, THA SHOOTA MASAHITO KAKIHARA (a member of Misawa's Untouchables stable), TAMON HONDA (one half of the All Asia Tag Champs), YOSHINOBU KANEMARU, DAISUKE IKEDA, "JOBBED TO STAN HANSEN" TAKESHI MORISHIMA, MAKOTO HASHI, MASAMICHI MARIFUJI, ALMOST ORANGE CRAZY KENTA KOBAYASHI, TAKESHI RIKIO, and, finally, "Blind" Mighty Inoue, who will join the group as a referee. This means that only the following are still employed by AJPW: MR. GANSO BOMB TOSHIAKI KAWADA, KICK START MY HEART, DYNAMIC DUDE JOHNNY ACE (who I will touch upon in a moment), KO'd STEVE WILLIAMS MIKE BARTON, Giant Kimala, HWEEE STAN HANSEN, 2COLD SCORPIO, GLASS JAW STEVE WILLIAMS and MASANOBU FUCHI.

Now, about KICK START MY HEART, DYNAMIC DUDE!: Apparently, he was backstage at WCW Nitro on Monday. Rumor has it that he was just helping book Nitro, with Vince Russo taking some time off, but he may be joining the company to wrestle. He worked for WCW in the early 1990's, forming the Dynamic Dudes...<shudder> with Shane Douglas. I wouldn't mind seeing him in WCW, he's an excellent worker and could make a great U.S. champ. Johnny invented the "Ace Crusher," which is known to American wrestling fans as the Stone Cold Stunner or Diamond Cutter. I'd love to see a feud between Ace and DDP, battling over the rights to the Ace Crusher/Diamond Cutter. Ah, hell, I'd just like to see Ace in America.

Ahem...More on AJPW (most news nowadays revolves around them), AJPW and NJPW may have come to an agreement for a talent exchange. What this means is, AJPW gets to use some of NJPW's big stars on their tours, and NJPW gets to use AJPW stars, specifically MR. GANSO BOMB. Also, it seems that BALD MONK-Y JINSEI SHINZAKI (you may remember him as Hakushi in the mid 1990's), MR. LIAR ATSUSHI ONITA (a big name Death Match star in Japan), as well as TARZAN GOTO are willing to help All Japan get through the tough times, with most of their talent heading out.

AJPW continues along the downward spiral, as they lost their TV slot to Misawa's new group, NOAH. AJPW has partnered with Nippon TV (N-TV) for 27 years. The final show will be June 21st, 2000, and will be a 45 minute special.

Well, I'm outta here. I may be stealing Pat Barker's job with a tape review pretty soon. Until then, this has been the MOTHERF***ING BURNING HAMMER!!!, and I'm out.

Later,
