Para mí, hubo cuatro orquestas supremas en el 'boom' de la salsa: las de Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Larry Harlow y Willie Colón. Barretto era el mayor y murió hace 20 años. Harlow se nos fue hace cinco. Palmieri, el pasado. Colón era el más joven. Nada queda ya.

34 years ago today - Kenta Kobashi vs. Stan Hansen
Hidden gem! Great match with a perfect start and finish. This is HOW veterans should promote new stars. The final Lariat is one of the most beautiful in history...

31 years ago today - Kenta Kobashi vs. Steve Williams
Absolute, undeniable masterpiece. The first time Kobashi challenged Triple Crown. Steve was one of those who immediately recognized Kobashi as a star

Lance Storm calls the MJF, Mark Briscoe and Hangman Adam Page segment on AEW Dynamite "fake and stupid"
"My issue is that it comes off so incredibly fake. In storyline, this is airing live on TV while this guy threatens attempted murder.
"If a competitor at Wimbledon grabbed another competitor, doused him in gasoline, and told the opponent in the finals that they had to play with their non-dominant hand 'or I'm burning this guy alive,' the network would cut the cameras, they would evacuate the stadium, they would call in SWAT and police.
"Wimbledon wouldn't then sanction the match where the other guy has to then play in the finals against the guy who threatened to kill a person, with his non-dominant hand - 'Well he agreed to it, what can we do?'
"It's just so fake and stupid. You can't buy in anymore. It's supposed to be a live sporting event and, 'Oh we'll just air this potential murder. Briscoe might get set on fire. And since Page agreed with it, well, those are the stips.'
"And the stips don't make the match better. It creates an opening for a bunch of BS finishes."

Lance Storm on Mercedes Mone holding so many championships:
"I think there's a younger generation that just thinks, 'More belts, more belts, more belts, everything's great, she's got 27 belts'.
"But I think there's people like you and I who... belts are supposed to be prestigious, and an AEW championship or a Ring of Honor championship has a degree of prestige, but if you've never heard of the promotion, never heard of the belt, never heard of the woman she defeated, then it just starts delving into comedy.
"Or at least the lesser belts bring down the ones that are supposed to be important, because when you come out with 10 belts, if you think they're all equal, chances are the two or three important ones get brought down to the six or seven less important ones rather than the other way around.
"If you can't actually name the championships, it's like, what do they mean?
"But I think there is a younger generation of fans that just think more belts is better. If the company has 57 belts, then that's awesome because 57 people get to have belts - or Mercedes gets to have 25 of them."

este tema, por dios. la elegancia del barroquismo melancólico orquestal del Hollywood tardío de los 60 dentro de la mejor balada de la última década, statement estético total; abran otro disco con una canción así o no vuelvan.

Kiyoshi Tamura x Kazushi Sakuraba. As UWFI enters its final months, two of the legends demonstrate the incredible level of dynamism & technical precision the shootstyle has reached since the formation of UWF a decade+ earlier. (5.27.1996) 🌟
WHAT THE HELL! Stan Hansen going CRAZY after shoot kick to the head from Tenryu
Upon regaining consciousness, the madness began! Hansen violently attacked Tenryu and beating literally everyone, while Gordy tried to calm him down

los discos de Stevie Wonder deben enseñarse en los colegios; un adolescente que sabe lo que es el groove —y lo experimenta— vive distinto, piensa distinto y anula gran parte de las posibilidades de caer en la timba, no avivo más.
