Main >> Commentary >> October 22nd, 2001

Hello to everybody. Well, I guess its time to update my commentary. Last time I talked about the young boys in Osaka Pro., now I will talk about the rest of the crew.

SUPER DELFIN - Well, he is probably the most famous wrestler in this promotion, since it is his company. He has been wrestling for years in Japan and he wrestled in Mexico also. I use to watch tapes of him a couple years ago, not thinking that I would ever have a chance to wrestle him. He is probably one of top mask guys in Japan, where you have Super Delfin, Lyger and Dragon Sauske. If it wasn't for Delfin, I would have never gotten the chance to go over there. He had the final say on whether to bring me over or not. They took a chance at me, I'm not sure why, but I know I was the first American they brought over. They have used a couple guys from Mexico though, since Osaka Pro does a lot of Lucha style. I wrestled Delfin in tag matches and six mans but never in singles, so hopefully next time I will get the chance to do that. It was weird since I use a lot of his moves here in the US, I had to change a little bit of my offense. So I just want to say thanks to Super Delfin for the experience and I can't wait for next time.

TAKEHIRO MURAHAMA - This guy is impressive, he is a shootfighter. He has only been pro wrestling for a few years and has made the transition from shoot fighting to pro wrestling with no problem at all. Actually, I just watched a match with Murahama vs. Tanaka in New Japan, which was one of the best matches I have seen this year. He still shoot fights every once in a while. He would always make me laugh when I would always catch him reading a government book. He would say I like to read about government. He spoke very little English. I remember one time we ended up in the arcade and he was drinking a little and he found this boxing arcade game where you would have to put on these boxing gloves and he was going nuts with the gloves, like he was fighting for real. I had a couple tags with him and a singles, which was an average match, but next time it will be a lot better since I know what he likes to do.

EBESSAN - You have to see this guy wrestle, he is really good and is so funny in his matches, you cannot keep a straight face. Everytime we wrestled it was so funny. I even had to steal a few spots he does. Ebessan is the one guy that was pushing for me to come over. He spoke very good English, because he wrestled in the US before. I'm trying to get him to come over so he can wrestle me in the NWA. He can do comedy, he can mat wrestle and he can fly if he wants. So Ebessan, I know you are a big fan of the Internet, so if you read this you have to come to my house very soon, ok?

KING MANDORA and Z MANDORA - These guys are the heavyweights, but move like cruiserweights. I wrestled Z-Mandora on Samurai TV and it wasn't the best match, but you can't have great matches every time. He is very agile for being a heavyweight. I was surprised when he hit me with the moonsault, because it wasn't as stiff as I though it was going to be. He does like to be a hard hitter though, but that is the Japanese style. King Mandora I did a few spots with, I think in tag matches. He can speak really good English also.

KUISHINBO KAMEN - The Crazy Man as I call him. Him and Ebessan usually either go against each other or tag since they both have clown gimmicks. They do all kinds of comedy in their matches. They have probably wrestled each other over 300 times. I went to Kushinbos wedding party while I was there and I didn't know the Japanese get really crazy when they drink at parties. He like stuck his whole head in to this bowl of cabbage and just started going nuts. The best was that he said he was leaving the party, then he came back with his clown outfit on. He got Kushinbo chant then.

MIRACLE MAN - He's mostly a flyer, he does some crazy moves also. I had a couple matches with him a singles and tags and sixmans. He's pretty funny sometimes, when he picks on Tigers Mask all the time. His character I think comes from the comics.

TSUBASA- He is really good, he knows more Spanish than English since he also trained in Mexico. He is really good. I had a really good match with him. The only thing I messed up was the dragon screw, which was my fault. He did it so fast, I didn't time it right, but other than that, it was probably one of my favorite matches there. He is really good at putting matches together and making it flow just right. I did a tag against him too, but I am more of singles wrestler than a tag.

BLACK BUFFALO - He is Tsubasa partner, together they are INFINITY. He is great at making a match. I was the big babyface against him. He does a character from the baseball teams. He been around awhile, also he spoke some English so it was easier to have a match with him. When I left they just lost the tag belts and they were in a group with Gamma called FLUXXxx.

Gamma - He is Osaka Pro Champion. He started out with Taka Michinoku in Michinoku Pro. He has the best build in the company, he is jacked for a Japanese guy. He does a lot of great moves that you would think he couldn't do. He likes to ground wrestle at first, but he is also the monster heel in the company, so he has to rely on heelish type moves.

FRANCOISE - This girl is the manager of FluXXxx, she is a Japanese actress and looks unbelievable. She spoke perfect English, so we would always hang out because it was an easy conversation. I will post a pic of her soon. I told her if she came to the US, she would be a big star. You will see what I mean. She is probably the coolest chick that I have ever met in the wrestling biz. She doesn't wrestle, though she wants to learn. Hopefully she sticks to managing, there is no need for her to break any bones.

She is a big movie fan also. I made sure she saw Gladiator and of course she loved it. Maybe one day she will come to Atlanta, I hope.

OSAKA FANS - These fans are great, the best fans in the world. They love the wrestling part of the biz and appreciated the work. I got all kinds of gifts from the fans, which was cool, because that never happens here in the US. For once in my career I was actually over, unlike in WCW where nobody gave a rat's ass. To all Osaka Fans, thanks for the memories, I will come back soon. ICHIBAN.

Since being back, I have made my return to NWA GA with vengence. I did a run-in with a Super Demekin Mask on, screwing Dango over and just letting people know I am back. I did match a with Caprice Colman which was good match, but I did not get my way, so next time he is a dead man. Lance Dreamer decided to get in the ring with me and he felt the wrath of the "Atlanta Driver" The latest victim was Lazz. He felt how it was to be streched and then hit with Atlanta Driver. Next on my list is Jimmy Rave. Oh yes Jimmy, you better come with your boots tied and ready to wrestle, because I have got you and your belt November 3rd in Cornelia, GA. Your title is on the line and if I get my way, that title will be leaving with me. This is no joke, I'm not playing around anymore Jimmy. You have got something I want and I will do anything, and I mean anything, to leave with the NWA Wildside Junior Heavyweight Title.

Till next time,
Jeremy Lopez
