A Look at AJPW's Champion's Night ~ From The Land Of Triple Crown Unification Flight To The 50th Anniversary

A Look at AJPW's Champion's Night ~ From The Land Of Triple Crown Unification Flight To The 50th Anniversary

On June 26th, All Japan Pro Wrestling will present their Champion's Night event at Ota City General Gymnasium, a venue where they previously unified the NWA International Heavyweight Championship, the NWA United National Championship, and the PWF World Heavyweight Championship into the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship, All Japan's current top prize back on April 18, 1989. The event will feature four title matches, a different style fight, a memorial match paying tribute to one of All Japan and wrestling's all time greats, and more. Being an All Japan fan and with not enough people talking about it, I figure I go through all the matches, their background, and my thoughts on them along with who I think will win. By the way, if anyone is interested in this show or current All Japan, AJPW.tv offers current shows at around 900 yen and about ten dollars after taxes. It doesn't have the classic 80s and 90s stuff but still has some gems going back to the early 2000s.

Blue Oyster Cult: Veteran of the Psychic Wars

Blue Oyster Cult - Burnin' For You

Almost forgot but Happy 40th Anniversary to the Blue Oyster Cult album Fire of Unknown Origin. The last to feature the original lineup before drummer Albert Bouchard left.

【自作】スコット・ノートン テーマ曲

Off by a week but Happy 60th Birthday to one of New Japan Pro Wrestling's most successful foreigners and the only full time member of the nWo and nWo Japan: Scott Norton. Not only an underrated wrestler but it gives me the excuse to play Sammy Hagar's "Winner Takes It All".
