Guest Mole Report post Posted April 23, 2002 I read his book, and I didn't know that he had a good career in Japan. Was he really that good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wolverine Report post Posted April 23, 2002 I liked his style quite a bit. The thing is, his protege, Benoit, took his style to a whole new level, and is actually a lot better than he ever was. Kid and Tiger Mask were certainly ahead of their time. It's too bad their feud didn't last all that long because it was awesome. That actually isn't a bad way to start with puroresu footage, even if it's 20 year old stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Luke Argyle Report post Posted April 23, 2002 Wolverine is correct. The first puro tape I was ever exposed to was the best of DK and it changed my perception of wrestling forever. Still some of the best/most innovative stuff I've ever seen, even if I still don't know what the hell is going on in that 2/3 falls match! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 24, 2002 Dynamite and Tiger basically laid out the groundwork for the junior style that you see nowadays back in the early 80's... *shameless plug* 2 Dynamite/Tiger matches on my server *shameless plug* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 24, 2002 Damn steroids. If he and Benoit ever faced each other, I wanna know when, and if it's on tape, because if I saw that match today, I would just die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wolverine Report post Posted April 24, 2002 I think they faced each other in Stampede when Benoit was just breaking in. I'd guess this was about '86 or so, but I'm not sure. You may want to do a Google search, see if you find anything on their match(es). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
