Good God Almighty !!!! I've wrestled before and there is no way in hell I would do a dropkick from the top rope to the floor taking a back bump like I believe was Toyota did there ! How that didn't knock her soul out of her body I will never know . She was one tough wrestler .
When you realize she has held her own with the likes of Aja Kong and Bull Nakano (two other legends of joshi puroresu), you realize just how tough a competitor she really is...and then you learn that the last time she wrestled Aja (for example), it was 2017 and both ladies were in their later 40s...and they still were able to tell a hell of a story in the ring. Just so you can tell them apart, Manami Toyota is wearing the black singlet and was the one using the straightjacket bridging electric chair pin in the later clips (that's the best explanation of that maneuver that I can attempt, lol).
@@dylanconnelly9845, PCO is already past that point...not only has he been wrestling since 1987, he's been doing it with 50% (at most) of his vision (a pellet gun accident at age 12 caused him to lose sight in his right eye). Many of the bumps he's taken over the years would've been hell with full vision...and he's doing it with no hesitation.
@@AlsebraAs a person with very bad eyesight on only one eye since birth, I can tell you that's not how it works. If your healthy eye has 100% vision on it, you can see everything just fine and read small font, drive, etc. Your eyesight doesn't get magically worse when you close just one eye, doesn't it? The only nuisance in life is watching movies in 3D, because that trick doesn't really work for people like us.
ok i don't mind the big dives onto a crowd of wrestlers but my god 9:16 just seeing them group up for it and watch Cartwheel do it at the same times takes you and some of the magic out of it
The gimmick of the whole match was every single move being a canadian destroyer. It's quite a stretch to assume there was any magic in that match to begin with. Apart from the ref doing it and Gringo Locos beautiful execution of the manoeuver that ended the match.
Can we all agree that the Canadian Destroyer, or Destroyer in general, is the most overused, pointless move in wrestling these days? I’d say it’s surpassed the super kick by this point. Literally EVERYONE does it, they never finish the match and have become transition spots that mean nothing.
I mean it's common and it's really exciting move but people do use it over to much but it's better then just getting drop kicked or super kicked the Canadian destroyer just shows a little more athletic in indy wrestlers but that's just my opinion
I love almost every one of these spots but I hated the destroyer ending from GCW, the first five destroyers all looked vicious but I hate the spots where they have like 10 dudes all huddle up for a big dive, they just end up looking awkward no matter how good the dive or spot into it looks, the huddling just looks so out of place in a match
Josh Matthews is singularly the worst announcer in pro wrestling. He always managed to make other mediocre commentators sound like relatively seasoned veterans by comparison.
Maybe these days...but Mark Madden, Jerry Lawler, and a few part-timers (the likes of Magnum T.A. and Stevie Ray, for example) have him beat hands down. When Tony Schiavone is at a loss for words, you know it's bad.
0:14 no man that small should be able to make that loud of a thud i mean damn that thud was so loud there's reports that it was heard all the way in japan 😂😂😂
That poor asian girl never got her receipt. That missile drop kick to the floor was all first move adrenaline. I broke my arm with a top rope guillotine leg drop on my first ever offensive maneuver in the ring, its a real thing.
NGL, some of these spots cause me legit fear for the future health and safety of these “boys and girls.” Getting slammed onto ladders, thumbtacks, chairs, tables, barbed wire, glass and the hard right angle of the ring apron…YIKES! Great respect over here, from a lifelong wrestling fan with living memory of Terry Funk (RIP), Bruno Sammartino (RIP) and Nick Bockwinkel (RIP) as NWA, WWWF and AWA champions respectively. Take care of yourselves, you crazy kids! Okay?🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I never know if Manami Toyota is that good at playing me, cause in all her clips it's always like "i'll potato everyone fucking hard but I better not get any receipt" IDK . I can't see how she can land some of those moves safely
You literally see her take bumps on her neck all the time for her opponents. In this video you see it. She gives and she takes. That's just how they were back then. Still are in some aspects.
@@bdwjforever6980 then she's very very good, cause she gets me fooled everytime, almost googling "was she dangerous?" lol. I know now when I see those costumes and that quality i'm like "awww shit they're about to go hard". that's when they're the best right? when you're not sure anymore what's real or not. Thanks for answering bud.
