I've never seen a good Davey match where he was being hand led by a world class talent like Dyno, HBK, or one of the Hart Brothers. He was clumsy, mess up spots all the time and was only over cause he was buff and marketable to the British fans.

I like Kaz Hayashi. I'll check that match out sometime.

Seriously. Watching Hayashi/Minoru and it's pretty fucking awesome.

that match really is awesome. All Japan and NOAH have the best Jrs division IMO

Trust me, watch ANYTHING that has to do with the junior title in the past 6 months and you'll be amazed.

I heard Marufuji/Kondo was one of the best matches of last year and Fuji/Hayashi is a runner up.

His last few years in All Japan are pretty much the only Dynamite matches I don't jump through a hoop to watch since he was fairly broken down at that point.

I still think Davey Boy is wrestlings greatest fluke.

So DK could have been in NWA/WCW in 89?

....when Flair was having classic after classic with Steamboat and Funk? He could have had another one with Dynamite? Fuck man.

**McQueen** · 04-21-2009, 12:11 AM

Yeah or so he claims. Flair never called him back and when Dyno made an inquiry Flair made up what sounded like an excuse but given how fucked the WCW managment was at the time its believable.

**Derek** · 04-21-2009, 12:11 AM

Fuji/Kondo was pretty damn good. Normally I don't care for Marufuji and his constant use of flashy moves, but Kondo was able to mesh with his style and the result was pretty damn good.

Both NOAH and All Japan Junior Divisions have been great the past six months. It's a shame they got The lazy Tiger Mask holding the belt in NewJa.

Would Flair have really called him tho? I mean, wasn't that Dusty's job?

Edit: Oh wait, no. Dusty was fired in 88. I guess I mean wouldn't it have been whoever got Steamboat to come in's job?

I think they might have run across each other at a bar. I'd need to reread that part of his book.

He also said Terry Funk (being a friend of Stallones) tried to get him an audition for the part of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV but never got a call on that because he was percieved as too short for the roll.

true, but still...besides NO LIMIT, NJ's Jr Division sucks balls. They can't depend on Kanemoto and Liger all the time

That's true.
