Steven Regal & Ricky Steamboat put on a masterclass of facial expressions & body language.

One of my favorite matches from 1990s AJPW.

こんな映像初めて見た。記憶にもほとんどなかった試合なので、自分の知らない自分の過去を初めて知るような不思議な感じ😲

A rare TV News segment on WWF popularity in 1985. In addition to stock footage, unseen house show action & locker room interview clips w/ Ventura, Hogan, Piper & Sammartino from 11/8/85 in Pittsburgh, PA. #OTD

Really good match. My favorite Steiner Brothers in WWF match is the RAW title change vs the Quebecers. But this one is a really good match. Heavenly Bodies were terrific

OMG!

RIP & respect to Brad Armstrong (James) who passed away on this Day in Pro Wrestling History, November 1, 2021 at the age of 50 years old. A second-generation wrestler whose career spanned over three decades, marked by technical prowess, family legacy, and unfortunate underutilization by major promotions. Born Robert Bradley James on June 15, 1962, in Marietta, Georgia, Armstrong's entry into wrestling was almost predestined, given his family background. He was the son of "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, a renowned wrestler and promoter, and one of four brothers—Steve, Scott, and Brian (known as Road Dogg in WWE), who all pursued careers in the squared circle. Growing up in Marietta, Armstrong was immersed in the wrestling world from a young age. Trained by his father, he made his professional debut just three weeks after graduating from Wheeler High School, on July 4, 1980, at the tender age of 18. The early 1980s saw Armstrong honing his craft across various NWA territories. By 1984, he had moved to Georgia Championship Wrestling, where he teamed with Tim Horner and engaged in high-profile feuds with Ted DiBiase and Tommy Rich. A notable angle involved Armstrong donning a mask as "Mr. R" to capture the NWA National Heavyweight Championship from DiBiase on February 18, 1984. That same year, he secured the NWA National Tag Team Championship twice—once with his father and once with Horner—showcasing his versatility in both singles and tag team competition. Armstrong's international exposure began in 1986 with a tour of All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), where he competed in a tournament for the inaugural World Junior Heavyweight Championship, reaching the finals before losing to Hiro Saito. The 1990s marked Armstrong's most prominent period in WCW, though it was also fraught with gimmick experiments that often overshadowed his skills. In 1990, he adopted the "Candyman" persona, complete with red-and-white tights and candy giveaways, building an undefeated streak against mid-card opponents. This led to his involvement with The Fabulous Freebirds as the masked "Fantasia" (later "Badstreet" to avoid legal issues with Disney), helping them win the WCW United States Tag Team Championship and the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Championship in 1991. Another masked gimmick, "Arachnaman," drew inspiration from Spider-Man but was swiftly abandoned after Marvel Comics threatened legal action. Armstrong's crowning achievement in WCW came on July 5, 1992, when he defeated Scotty Flamingo (later Raven) to win the WCW Light Heavyweight Championship, the precursor to the Cruiserweight Title. Unfortunately, a knee injury sustained during a Japanese tour forced him to vacate the belt two months later. He remained with WCW until early 1995, then moved to Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW), where he won the SMW Heavyweight Championship twice, and the United States Wrestling Association (USWA), capturing the USWA Heavyweight Championship once. He balanced wrestling with community involvement, working at a health store and volunteering at a Christian school. Tragically, on November 1, 2012, Armstrong was found dead in his Kennesaw, Georgia home after a recent medical visit for an undisclosed issue. Brad Armstrong's legacy endures as a testament to untapped potential in wrestling. WWE commentator Jim Ross praised him as "one of the most underrated all-time greats ever in the business," highlighting his in-ring talent that often went unrecognized amid gimmick-heavy eras.

The realization that every movie Candy was in made that movie exponentially better 👏
