This second installment of the "weekly round up" came up sooner than I thought, with me only having two entries to show for this week. Then again, I've been distracted with other things that have slowed down my process of being able to sit and type out my $0.02 on something. I do have some other entries in the works that I hope to be finished with sooner than later, though. Until then, get all your brainbustering questions and commentary in.
SephirothX (04/09/2009)
Taker vs HBK was the best match of the night and argueably one of the best Wrestlemania matches of all time. The rest of the PPV was kind of eh. The two other bright spots were the money in the bank match and the legends match.
Money in the bank was a display of great althetic ability from a number of guys, but the match left a sour taste in my mouth because CM Punk won it. The guy who put argueably the least amount of visible effort into the match walked away with the victory, when is WWE going to realize this guy is just a poor mans RVD?
The Legends match was promising mainly because of Ricky Steamboat and Roddy Piper. Piper brings a chaotic humor to the match that kept it entertaining, and Ricky looked like a wrestler who never left the ring.
On a side note, I wanted so badly to see Cena NOT walk away with the belt. This guy is argueably the most forced talent to come along since The Ultimate Warrior and has argueably less talent. When is McMahon and WWE management going to realize that the fans just arent going to cling to him like they did Stone Cold or The Rock? Hell, Cena now gets twice as many boos as he did a year ago... and did you hear the crowd jump on him at the Hall of Fame ceremony? Cena is far too much of a PG Rock/Austin hybrid that is forced down our throat. Not to mention I'm sick of him constantly trying to prove he's better than The Rock, since Rock took the advice of Flair and Foley and moved on before the business caught up with him.
I think CM Punk needs to add atleast 10 more spots to his moveset for him to be considered a "poor man's RVD". As for Cena and him being forced talent like Ultimate Warrior, I don't think Warrior got such mixed reactions from fans like Cena does, I mean in reality John Cena is the one being screwed here with the way he's being booked. Had this been a time when WWE had competition I would think he would have had a better build-up and even then if he did and still got the same reaction that he does now, he would more than likely been fired after having been repackaged atleast 5 more times.
Teen Idol (04/09/2009)
As long as Cena is still around, I REFUSE to watch WWE again.
If you do that, U CAN'T C HIM.
Haxan (04/09/2009)
Great recap. You keep making refreshing my memory as to why I don't watch wrestling anymore save the very rare occassion that I check out TNA to see Mick and The Dudleyz. Please tell me that the Dudleys... ahem, that Team 3D are still heels there. That's the only way that they shine. Though never as bright as when they ruled ECW with an iron cheese grater.
Ah, memories. I once went to an ECW show and the Dudleyz got the crowd so fired up that I swear that a riot was just about to erupt. Yet, they managed to keep the show going without even threatening to cancel it if people didn't settle down. I totally fucking miss those days. Fucking WWF, er E.
As of now 3D are faces, actually. I kindof prefer it over watered down heel 3D and I also like how TNA uses them with their NJPW working agreement, I'd still like for them to go back to their old heel ways of spitting on and calling fans inbreds or threating them to come to the ring and fight them.
Endstiem (04/09/2009)
I'm disappointed Orton/Triple H sucked - because the feud has been good in my opinion.
Yes, though the build-up is about all they did right. I mean, you really thought the match was going to end with both of them being a bloody mess, but it's not 1998 anymore.
norm9 (04/09/2009)
I watched Raw the next day, and they showed a rematch of the dark match at Wrestlemania- Miz Morrison versus The Colons.
Watching it and seeing how great they are as wrestlers and storytellers made me even more pissed off that Kid Rock played decades old songs instead of having them wrestle.
I had forgotten all about that and that Kid Rock performance was so bad. As for the Colons, they're fluid in the ring and are probably the best tag-team WWE has right now and I mean actual tag-team, not two singles wrestlers put together because they have nothing for them to do or are trying to build them up. Speaking of which, that's exactly what they're doing with Morrison, I can see him being something of a Rick Rude-esque type character in the future, the rest of the guys like Primo and The Miz will probably be turned to lower card guys, like Chavo Guerrero. I do see Carlito possibly being a mid-carder with a few pushes here and there, like Matt Hardy.
leftoversmack (04/09/2009)
Taker vs HBK should have been the main event. It was all down hill from there. As always HHH gets another boring main event all for himself. The man's been stale since 2002. Also I got excited when Cena's old entrance music hit. I thought he was finally going to be interesting again but that was too good to be true. CM Punk's another one that has potential to be interesting but WWE just seems to book all the faces wrong these days. The fans want edgy, exciting characters, why can't they realize why Austin was such a big hit.
I really don't see anything getting more edgy, more exciting or wrestlers working to their full potential until WWE gets some kindof competition.
norm9 (04/09/200)
The Legacy idea is great, but all three of the guys are being systematically buried like nobody's business. And with Batista back, Ted and Cody are definately going to go the route of Kane (losing week in week out).
I was also disappointed that in the Diva match, Mae Young got no recognition at all.
Finally, Natalya is one of the top five women wrestlers, but she too is going the way of Kane. I just don't understand the creative team at WWE at all.
I can actually see both Ted and Cody being higher up on the card, though ultimately to end up being fed to Triple H. I think they'll end up doing something with Natalya sooner or later, if not, then she'll need to find a way to make herself look more like Michelle McCool or Maria so WWE's creative team will give her a push. Though it's still kindof sad to think Kelly Kelly gets more air time than her.
TheToiletDuck (04/10/2009)
I wish Rey would go back to his question mark costume from WCW.
At this rate, I'd just like for Rey to go back to wrestling in his WCW style. Though it will more than likely never happen, what with him being such a high investment. I'll have to settle for Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne until they do the same for him.
Bar none the best wrestling games to be released on a hand-held console and it's not just because of the wide variety of wrestlers and fighters or because the CAW mode is awesome or because of the different match types and choice of audience to cater to, but just the fact that you can have such lengthy realistic matches anywhere, being that it's on a portable console. That may not sound like much, but coming from a person that's played loads of different wrestling games on Game Boys that had nothing but very, very simplistic gameplay, Fire Pro 1 or Fire Pro A in Japan, was almost too good to be true. The main focus of all Fire Pro games has always been to make a game for only the most die hard of wrestling fans it seems, I mean, would a run-of-the-mill casual fan of Monday Night wrestling ever wonder the difference between a Clothesline and a Lariat or the difference between Strong Style and King's Road?
Without having to really spell it out for you, the gameplay really is that good. Every character has a unique moveset that is corresponding to their real life maneuvers, you have your weak attacks that you can hit at any given time of the match to mild attacks that'll take some wearing down to be able to execute and finally your most hard hitting attacks, usually a signature move/finisher. I also like how this game incorporates a breathing feature that your wrestler needs to do during the course of the match so he doesn't tire himself out. Though there are some limits here, there aren't any weapons under the ring or on the outside to use against your opponent, you're also pretty much out of luck if your character has been warn down to the point where it's visibily difficult for him/her to breathe and you get caught in a submission anywhere away from the robes. This is seen in every Fire Pro game, so you'll mainly have to rely on taping the direction pad along with B and A buttons as fast as you can. Visually the game isn't anything special, but then again the Game Boy Advance wasn't ever the most astonishing in the graphics department, you'll also be disappointed if you want to see flashy entrances.
For everything the game lacks in some of the visual departments, it definitely will make up for in the gameplay department and if that doesn't smooth you over, the Create-A-Wrestler or "Edit Mode" mode will, if you've played any Fire Pro games from before then you already know how indepth this can get, it also comes in handy if you're not very familiar with most of the foreign wrestlers or if you want to add in some more modern day ones. There's also the Management Of The Ring mode, only playable in the Japanese release of the sequel: Fire Pro Wrestling 2 or Final Fire Pro Wrestling - Yume no Dantai Unei! in Japan, where you basically take on the roll of a promoter and booker taking on task such as selling merchandise, scouting new talent, setting up matches and getting money for putting on good events as you compete for popularity and notoriety against other promotions. Unfortunately this mode isn't in the American release of Fire Pro 2 and if you do get the Japanese release, you're going to need to get a text based translation for all of it if you can't read the language. Thankfully one of the things that carried onto the games despite region differences was the audience appeal or "evaluation" of matches, where you try to put on a match in the certain wrestling style for a satisfaction rate after your match is finished.
Strong Style Plenty of submissions and stiff kicks to get the match going, hitting finishers/strong moves during the course of the match aswell. Strong Style audiences usually like to see calculated submission finishes or even a KO finish or rather a "CRITICAL". Keep the false finishes epic, just try not to over do it with them here, the key is to have a strategy with wearing down your opponent. Best referee for this style: Tiger Hattori (Panther Tottori) Best wrestlers for this style: Riki Choshu(Hurricane Rikimaru), Yuji Nagata(Yujiro Sakata), Tatsumi Fujinami(Fighter Yamato), Masahiro Chono(Violence Kouno)
King's Road Hardest hitting style in Japan, try to beat the ever loving shit out of your opponent here with slams, stomps and chops. Though it's not all about seeing how many piledrivers and powerbombs you can get in, you'll want to start with a slow build up before letting yourself go all out with tons of false finishes and turnbuckle Super-Suplexes or Brainbusters. Best referee for this style: Joe Higuchi Best wrestlers for this style: Kenta Kobashi(Keiji Togashi), Toshiaki Kawada(Toshiee Kazama), Genichiro Tenryu(Thunder Ryu), Mitsuharu Misawa(Mitsuhide Hikawa)
Showman Mainly what people who watch TNA and WWE are used to, matches are based heavily on having character and charisma, lots of taunts and a nice slow start without too many powerful slams in the beginning before kicking the match into high gear. Usually a single finisher will put an opponent out here. Best referee for this style: Earl Hebner (Lark Kestler) Best wrestlers for this style: The Rock(Joe Morici), Stone Cold Steve Austin(Steve Steel), Sting(The Spike), Ric Flair(Killa Kalani)
Stoic Like an intensified Strong Style, but more centered around less irish whips and more knockouts and submissions, it's best if the rules for a victory are submission only. Best referee for this style: Mr.Soranaka (Mr.Mizutaka) Best wrestlers for this style: Karl Gotch(Carlos Klauser), Gary Albright(G.O. Bright), Alexander Otsuka(Hercules Ohtsuki), Akira Maeda(Akira Saeba)
Lucha Libre Plenty of high flying spots, anything ranging from off the top rope moves to suicide dives onto the outside along with lots of reversals and armdrags. You'll also want to try to not over do it with the insane high risk spots, but still keep them consistent. Best wrestlers for this style: The Great Sasuke(Blade Hayate), Ultimo Dragon(Azteca Dragon), Mil Mascaras(Maschera Condor), Negro Casas(Black Chaos)
Hardcore No barbwires or steel chairs here, but there is an exploding electric cage in "Death Match" mode, basically try getting your opponent as beaten down and bloody as possible. If you're not into the Death Match mode, try setting up a regular match was falls count anywhere and no count outs. Best wrestlers for this style: Atsushi Onita(Katsushi Okita), Mr.Gannosuke(Mr.Ashiya), Sabu(Tattoo), Abdullah The Butcher(Abdullah Danger)
Freestyle This is the MMA audience, where basically anything goes, though it's best to play it under the "Gruesome" mode. Keep in mind Irish-whips won't do you any good here and neither will fighting on the outside. Bringing in a more Showman, Lucha Libre or Hardcore wrestler here will usually result in you getting beaten rather quickly. In the American version of FPW2 your only option is to hold a Gruesome mode in a ring similiar Pride FC and the current AFFLICTION promotion, however in the Japanese release matches in this mode are all held in an caged octagon similar to UFC and WEC. Best fighters for this style: Kazushi Sakuraba(Kazuki Makurada), Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira(Centaurus Bohemia), Ken Shamrock(Kein Harock), Bas Rutten(Bos Docken)
Other than the American version missing the Management Of The Ring mode and replacing it with an "Ironman Mode" to unlock hidden wrestlers aswell as the steel cage octagon ring missing in the American version(the closest thing to it is tweaking the rules of a Death Match), it's also missing a few MMA fighters that the Japanese game has, though it's mainly a handful of guys from Pancrase and RINGS, aswell as a few of the American wrestlers are missing in the Japanese version, so unless you're more into the MMA aspect of the game, I can't see why you would want more than the other. Not to mention the MMA mode or rather Gruesome mode doesn't seem to have rounds, like in the later Fire Pro games for Dreamcast and Playstation 2. This game still blows all other Combat Sport games out of the water and it's definitely a title you can put hours upon hours in and not get tired of with the modes above and match types like tag team and Battle Royals, mainly because it's engine is much more alike the newer Fire Pro games than the older ones for SNES and NES. Granted, anyone who is relatively new to the series will probably have a bit of a hard time understanding the timing behind grappling and such, all I can really say is start off with an easy difficultly until you get the hang of it or suffer being an eternal Fire Pro jobber.
It's no secret that this year's Wrestlemania was probably the weakest since WrestleMania 2000, having both just felt like a special episode of RAW and not like the biggest PPV in Wrestling. Actually, the should have renamed this "RematchaMania" since all but two matches were infact rematches, one being the worst Money In The Back with these ridiculous highspots that I already counted on seeing, but not to the point where they were near death like Shelton Benjamin's. The other being Jericho VS the Hall Of Famers, actually everything in this match was going swell, more than swell when Ricky Steamboat got in as a matter of fact, I really got into it when he started hitting his trademark armdrags and the like, but the entire match went down the tube when Flair stepped in and Mickey Rourke accepted Chris Jericho's post-match challenge. I suppose that was a "WrestleMania moment", a very shitty one at that, nothing against Jericho's work ethic but he was built up as being a pretty big deal of a heel, having punched HBK's wife and then tormented these legends and now he gets knocked out like a jobber by an ex-boxer turned actor who looked like he was dressed up as an Undertaker cosplayer?
"Who booked this shit?" is what I kept asking myself, checking dirtsheet sites on any news if Vince Russo had left TNA. I'm not even going to bother talking about the Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal match either, since that was just a botch after a botch, thankfully Santino or rather "Santina" made a piss break match into a comedy match you wanted to see through, which got me thinking about how much back pain Santino must be enduring from these Months of carrying the entire DIVA's division. I was however pleasantly surprised with Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy's match and I don't care for either of them, I also liked that Matt finally got new ring attire. The match itself was something of a spotfest aswell, with the whole "Extreme Rules", but then again it's been these two's bread and butter. Moving on to Rey Mysterio VS JBL, which started off a bit odd what with Rey coming out with a Joker themed ring attire, complete with a green wig. I understood when he dressed up as Flash or even back in the WCW days when he had the Spider Man inspired gear, but Joker from the Batman series isn't exactly a good guy, go figure. Before I could fully take in Rey's attire, the match was pretty much over, basically another WrestleMania squash match with Mysterio winning the Intercontinental Championship from JBL, along with JBL announcing that "he quit", which is funny since a day or two before so did Taz, so that means a seat in the commentator's spot for Smackdown is open. Connect the dots.
Onto the best match of the night: The Undertaker VS Shawn Michaels, I didn't expect anything but a great match from these two, since they always deliver on WrestleMania. However, some of the spots here where pretty brutal looking, especially Taker's suicide dive onto a camera man, unfortunately the camera man didn't really break his fall and Taker did something of a head dive onto the outside mat. The match basically went from a nice steady build up to some pretty awesome spots to finishers being accompanied by epic false finishes. It'll probably be their best match of this year, which might sound a bit silly since it's so early, but then again this is the biggest event WWE has. Which brings us to a match for the marks out there or the loyal Chain Gang soldiers, I've said it before on how Edge isn't anything impressive to watch unless there's tables, ladder and chairs involved, Big Show will probably have a good match a year and John Cena is, well, Cena.
Put all three of them together in a match and you basically get WWE Universe fanatics screaming off the top of their lungs for Cena being Superman during the final minutes of this match. Speaking of Superman, Triple H VS Randy Orton for the no-longer-spinning-bling'd out-WWE Championship was the main event, in all fairness the match did have some pretty nice psychology and some pretty alright spots, but if you weren't screaming "SAME OLD SHIT" over and over at your TV screen or tearing your hair out by now after having spent 50$ for this then you're probably not watching the same PPV. What more is there to say? Triple H wins, killing off all the steam Randy Orton had as he was working towards being possibly one of the greatest heels in WWE history, coming fresh off terrorizing the McMahon family by delivering skull crushing punts to Vince and Shane's head, aswell as RKO'ing Triple H's wife as he struggles with being handcuffed to the ropes, just think of what could have been with giving Orton the strap again. Oh well, I guess we'll have to endure another few Months of this feud not really going anywhere aside from making Triple H look unbeatable whilest they prepare Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr for the same fate.
Weekly round up.
I haven't been too much of a lurker on this site anymore, I usually post my entry and take off, though I've been trying to change that and with that being said I should be more interested in the feedback left on my entries. Granted, with Wrestlemania going on I was a bit distracted with getting this done on a Sunday. Eitherway, get all your inane questions in.

"If any of you gents have an early production Dreamcast, you should get your hands on Giant Gram 2000. It's basically All Japan's last wrestling game before Misawa, Kobashi, and Akiyama split and created NOAH. It has all of them plus Kawada, Hansen, and Giant-o BABA!"
I haven't been able to play the first Giant Gram and Giant Gram 2k, I don't know what's the different between them either other than maybe a few more characters, possibly. The game does look awesome though, a bit more cartoony than the others aswell.
Mushman (01/20/2009)
"...great video posted, I do love wrestling fro the NOAH promotion, makes the farce that the WWE has become seem childish in comparison. NOAH has some of the most brutal wrestling matches I have ever seen, and no one even bleeds in them!
I seriosuly doubt meatheads like Batista and half of the other new WWE wrestlers could last 10 minutes in the ring against an excellent, incredible wrestler like Jun Akiyama. Glad you are a fan of NOAH! :D"
It's actually from a supercard/tournament called WRESTLE-1, tons of guys from different promotions like NOAH and ZERO-1 get thrown into it. I like NOAH the most since they carry on the King's Road style that All Japan Pro Wrestling used to have before the split. Regarding WWE's talent, I think there's alot of great wrestlers there that are being held down or watered down for whatever reason, not to mention WWE's target audience is TV-PG now.
michiyoyoshiku (03/29/2009)
"You know King has alot of KENTA's moves"
I think King ututilized alot more of Tiger Mask and Great Muta's moveset, really. Not to mention, KENTA's entire moveset usually revolves around stiff kicks, I don't know King for doing too many kick based moves.
"OH also Wolf wasn't in Zen Nihon Prowrestling, he was in Giant Gram."
I think you're thinking of a different game, the one I'm referring to is an arcade game called "Zen Nihon Pro Wrestling Virtua" that has Wolf.
SephirothX (03/31/2009)
"So which game would you recommend more? SvR09 or LoWM?"
Based on modes and match types, I'd go with SvR09, gameplay isn't bad either, probably the best the game can get since HCTP. I'll have to get the full LOWM game to really make a choice though, to some extent it just feels like more of the same, but I'd probably pick it over SvR09 just based on the controls that seem much more fun and the whole old school feel. I would say nostalgic, but then again I wasn't alive to see most of these wrestlers in their prime.
There's apparently some friction between Randy Savage and Vince McMahon, though it's not clear, some say it's because of a relationship Macho Man had with a very young Stephanie McMahon.
Artemus (04/03/2009)
"I have yet to play a Fire Pro wrestling game... Should I get the one for the PS2 or what?!"
Try to find yourself a Game Boy Advance emulator and get ahold of the two Fire Pro Wrestling GBA games, see how you like it. The learning curb will take you a while to get the hang of, but after getting passed that you won't be able to put it down if you want realism, it's about as realistic as you can get for a wrestling game. If you like it, look into getting Fire Pro Returns for the PS2 or the updated 3D Japanese Fire Pro game: "King of Colosseum".
Some of you might have heard about Fire Pro Wrestling's developers SPIKE releasing a new Fire Pro game for the PS2 and XBOX 360 called "Fire Pro HD" aswell as a "Fire Pro Collection" for the Wii. I mean, the news of this new downloadable game made it all the way out to Japan aswell as garnished the attention of a few popular game forums and flooded the entire Fire Pro Club site with new users egger to know about the upcoming game. Finally after a two and half week of FPW fanboys getting no sleep trying to dig up more information aswell as adding features to their FPWHD wishlist, the jig was up. You may start thinking to yourself that it's the Fire Pro fanboy's fault for being so gullible to this news out of the blue, but the entire fabrication was done by a trusted 'veteran' from the Fire Pro Club forum, on April 2nd one "SonnyBone" finally revealed it as an "April Fools" joke and explained his intentions to a world wide web full of vehement FPW loyalist.
So was is wrong? I'm going to ahead and say he knew very well what he was doing and knew it was going to explode once he had brought it to the stage, I mean, even the Fire Pro Club site had a subforum made for the "Fire Pro HD/Fire Pro Collection" games that were supposedly coming out in the near future. To top it off, instructions on how to play these games, now I would be enraged had I gone and purchased some Microsoft Points in Yen, along with modding my Wii or Xbox 360, voiding the warranty and maybe even breaking it in the process just to play some imported game, that turned out to be a hoax. With all that being said, did I believe it? Sure, I mean he looked like he had all the proof in the world, but I was still in a "I'll believe it when I see it" state of mind. What turned out to be a joke now was turned into the beginning of a Fire Pro fanatic's revolution, with an ideology based on realistic wrestling games and demand towards SPIKE to actually make the game a reality. So if any of this actually pans out and SPIKE sees what kindof huge fanbase they have in the FPW series, then maybe it was all worth it, until then I guess we can all laugh at how we were duped.
I knew that the Japanese were into watching insect fights were a spider will eat the face off of mantis, so it only made sense that there would be a game like Mushi King. Apparently it's pretty big in Japan, I don't know if it's the new Pokemon but the kids sure seem to cling onto it. From what I've gathered, it's a card and video game based game, where you slide a card with a barcode across a slot on an arcade cabinet. What happens next is you basically play a Rock-Paper-Scissors game as a beetle against another beetle, rock being hit, paper being throw and scissors being pinch. After giving the Nintendo DS variant of this game a try, I wasn't surprised to see all the characters being big eyed anime kids, but I was a bit surprised that said beetles you battle with are just that, beetles. Meaning that they aren't made out of glossy metal with rocket guns sticking out of their shell nor do they look cute, they are actual beetles. Granted, I only played through a few battles in the game since I can't read Japanese and was basically skipping through cut scenes and conversations that were probably packed with tons of useful information from a happy-faced character and a so-called "Professor Nebu".
So the first handheld installment of the Mushi King series "Kouchuu Ouja Mushi King Greatest Champion e no Michi" wasn't doing it for me in terms of enjoyment nor was it impressing me much. So I figured I'd give the sequel simply titled "Kouchuu Ouja Mushi King Greatest Champion e no Michi 2" a whirl. To my not-so-surprise it was basically more of the same, with more features and smoother graphics. I'd give the latest Nintendo DS Mushi King game a try aswell, but it's pretty pointless unless I spring for the cash to have the pluggable slot bundle shipped to me from some pricey distributer and I really don't like this game enough for that. To top it off, the game is also an anime series in Japan, now you might be asking yourself why you haven't heard of it or why hasn't it been brought to the US. Apparently the American version of it is called "Dinosaur King", basically the same deal as it's Japanese masterclone, only with Dinosaurs, since American kids don't care about a Rhinoceros Beetle's quick striking power and would much rather have a big scaly, sharped tooth Raptor as their character of choice, who could blame them?
Hmm...
I'm still wondering why I haven't stumbled across the cartoon show or the Dinosaur King arcade cabinent anywhere nor seen young children running around with barcode laden cards, trying to battle eachother while hovering over their Nintendo DS. Speaking of which, I also got ahold of the Dinosaur King Nintendo DS game aswell, which was more of the same with a feel that reminded me of Earthbound or Pokemon games where you'd walk around from town to town encountering enemies and people to battle with. Overall still the same game, but instead of small puny beetles, you get big vicious dinosaurs, not to mention now I can read the text and figure out what's going on. All I can really say is if you like extinct reptiles and a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, you might find this worthy and maybe even addicting.
After reading all this you're probably wondering what any of the above text has to do with wrestling. So before you go and check if you're on the right blog, I'll explain that apparently Japanese wrestling promotion NOAH have latched onto the Mushi King franchise and gave Kotaro Suzuki a gimmick based on the game, calling himself "Mushi King Terry" and even wearing a mask and ring gear with the Mushi King game logo design imprinted on them. There's also his arch nemesis named "Mushi King Joker" who Ricky Marvin will sometimes wrestle as, who ironically held the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles with him once before. So the gimmick can't be all bad if it's bringing in some younger fans to the stiff and hard hitting wrestling that NOAH produces, but with the Professor Nebu fleshed into being to accompany Mushi King Terry to the ring and the backstory behind it all with having been 'created' by Prof. Nebu and brought to the wrestling ring, it does seem a bit too cartoony for this promotion. It's still not as bad as what other wrestling promotions have done for some publicity.
