Head Drop Highlights Vol. 11 (AJPW Clips)

[@SpiralIntoAVoid]

Bless this company for the rest of its existence

[@njm1738]

This is one of the reason why I love puroreso

[@kennythetrend3688]

0:44 I wish more AEW and Indy Wrestlers would no sell more like THIS where they try to get up, but then realize "Oh shit...I just got dropped on my head". Lmao

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

Kyle O'Reilly has mastered that.

[@danielfennessey]

Kobashi: So, I’ve got an idea for a new move. I’ll take a few TD 91’s and suplexes to the floor, in exchange if you wanna take it. Misawa: Sure. How bad could it be? 6:36: how bad it could be. SUPERB Collection mate. Thank you for the epic chapter. I hope they’ll be more puro headroom highlights down the road. You rock exceedingly, Ryan, me old mate.

[@ThunderFilez]

Thanks so much Dan, you're the man! Definitely expect a NOAH Volume at some point.

[@danielfennessey]

@@ThunderFilez OHHH Happy days!!!

[@d.b.2487]

Aaaaahh that first one put me out!!! Damnnnnnn bro! Good content 😅keep it up

[@ThunderFilez]

Lol, thanks man. My buddy BattingHat showed me that clip. About fell out of my chair when I saw it.

[@d.b.2487]

@@ThunderFilez I bet that hurt so badly 😂 Japan is so different with how willing to take a move they are! Love it!!! Do you have any contacts within the biz?

[@battinghat]

Aww, thanks ​@@ThunderFilez 🫶 The head-dropping pleasure is all mine lmao

[@fatboyred]

AJPW was brutal back in the 90s/early 2000s.

[@allmightguy6341]

That Kawada sitout tombstone was disgusting sheezus

[@MUY-01]

3:31 ゴッチ式ィ！！

[@HeavyWeapon858]

2:20 if Triple H really went full heel with the move

[@jabbarmuhammad8804]

Being dropped on your head will knock you unconscious

[@kennythetrend3688]

Does anybody know why some Japanese Commentary always says "Tiga Driva" when it's a completely different move like in the first clip?

[@ThunderFilez]

Pretty sure the announcer said "Tombstone Piledriver". It just sounds similar with the accents.

[@kennythetrend3688]

@@ThunderFilez Ok, didn't hear it at first. I think he said "Pile" which I thought was "Tiga". But I swear there is other instances where they call other moves "Tiga Driva" when they aren't.

[@Jukeboksi]

The Tiger Driver is the move where you lift a guy into a Sitout Powerbomb with the arms tied up. Tiger Driver ’91 drops them on their head instead. Tiger Suplex is a variation on the German.

[@kennythetrend3688]

@@Jukeboksi I know that. I'm talking about whenever any other Powerbomb happens, it sounds like the Commentators call it a Tiger Driver.

[@daltonpinell6251]

Can you imagine if the WWE wrestlers of today went up against guys like Misawa, Kawada and Kobashi back then? None of them (the WWE guys) would've made it back to the states alive

[@allmightguy6341]

i think the former indie guys could stand a chance though. Ricochet, Walter, El Generico, Kevin Steen, Donovan Dijak, Tommasso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Tyler Black, Drew Galloway and Jordan Devlin. I think a younger Shinsuke Nakamura could also survive.

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

You're a liar. If you like Japanese wrestling more, then just say that. But there are plenty of people on the active roster that would do just fine against those legends. 😐

[@Goozero1]

There's a fair lot of wrestlers that's been through CZW and have Deathmatch backgrounds.

[@markbarrow2082]

Many current WWE superstars and WWE Hall of Famers wrestled in Japan back then and in modern times. Hogan would legit wrestle when he would go to Japan.

[@JaitsuStudios]

Don't be that guy. Idiotic "us vs them" mentalities are one of the things that have ruined wrestling over and over. Take your tribalism and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

[@ごっどぶれす]

なんか三沢さんが投げられる場面が多い気がします😢 こんなに落とされてたら首痛めるし切れますわ…😭

[@ThunderFilez]

It happened to him too. All the brutal bumps over the years caught up to him.

[@troylandzerep8045]

wwe is luck the john laurrenities didnt go on full Johnny ace on thrm on his heel run

[@Sienar7]

Misawa DIED from a high angle backdrop that broke his neck, following a career of these head drops. They look cool, but lifes.have been destroyed by these types of bumps. Not worth it.

[@ThunderFilez]

Lifes have been taken by the simplest of moves as well. I agree that there is more risk to this style, but it is their choice to make. I wrestled this style for many years, and feel pain every day because of it. And I don't regret it one bit. Call me crazy, I call it a love for the game.

[@Sienar7]

@@ThunderFilez I totally see your point. Said the same things too. But did Kawada really need to piledrive that guy with his head 2 inches below the safety of his thighs? Did that guy ask him to do that? Owen Hart accidentally did that to Steve Austin and Steve never really recovered from it.

[@Sienar7]

To go against my own argument, it's possible that Kawada didn't mean to tune it quite that far. Accidents happen.

[@ThunderFilez]

@@Sienar7 I'm thinking that's more/less the case. I have yet to see him do this move again, so it very well could have been a one and done kind of thing.

[@Sienar7]

​​@@ThunderFilezFair enough. Those kicks though. Don't think he's worked one in his life. I might be miss remembering, but I think he was once in the ring with young KENTA 20 years ago and... oh boy. 😳. (Best kickers of the 00's and the 90's together).

[@Usedplungerstotheface]

I wish more these guys would make it over to aew I love this style

[@josephrichardson3910]

Add this type of style into the wwe storytelling and would probably elevate it much more. Japanese wrestling I love the heavy hitting and such but the storytelling is what lacks. Great respect to them though
