Advertising Where You Didnt Think Theyd Put It?
Chigusa comes out and on her cape is NEO GEO SNK, this is in 94 when she was returning to the ring, so its really cool they got her to help advertise them. I dont know how much of a fighting game fan she was though.
Any places you wouldnt think youd see an ad for gaming but then you did?
And I thought North American wresting had become really cheesy. That match was painful to watch for all the wrong reasons.
If youve never seen Japanese wrestling before, or Joshi for that matter, I dont know how to really explain stuff really. Go watch this match http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w1byzpTuiwOriginally Posted by Gamevet
It's just so cheesy, that I can't watch it. It's like watching 2 cosplay people in a wrestling match; I can't do it. I can't watch Mexican wrestling for the same reasons, because everyone is wearing those stupid masks. Then again, I quit watching WWE wrestling in the 90s', when Vince turned it into back stage soap opera and less about wrestling.
Sorry!
Back to the subject. I believe I've seen Playstation logos while watching K1 matches held in Europe.

Different countries, different cultures, those Japanese women wrestle better than most American male wrestlers. And theyre not in cosplay.

Of course they're different countries. Those Mexican wrestlers all have to jump off of the top ropes and do those crazy acrobatics. It gets old really fast.
It's much like Cosplay. The chick came into the ring dressed like a mech and the other looks like some wizard from Final Fantasy. It not much different when the Great Kabuki (80s) came into the ring and spit green juice in peoples faces like he was some twisted version of a Ninja. Those chicks wrestle like those dudes in back yard wrestling. It's horrible to watch and I see very little that would make it much better viewing than your average North American wrestling match from that era. It almost a bad as GLOW that was on ESPN in the early 90s.

I'm a huge wrestling fan (I even review the Ring of Honor shows for another website), but I can't stand Mexican wrestling, or lucha libre as it's called down there. It's nothing but acrobatics, almost more like gymnastics than wrestling. It doesn't help that my Spanish is horrible so I can't really understand what the hell is going on.
i really fucking regret this god damn thread
The thread is cool. I was just pointing out that the wrestling in that video was horrible. It was interesting to see her (it) wearing a cape with SNK on it.
Why? I've found it rather amusing.
When I said they dont cosplay I meant female japanese wrestlers 99.9% of the time. maybe some will for liek halloween, but honestly, Ozaki always wore that red outfit in the 90s.
How can you look at it and not see that it looks alot like people that are dressing up for cosplay?
I have never seen an American female wrestler enter the ring looking like she came out of a comic book or videogame. The woman featured in that video, did not look like they came into the ring to wrestle. They looked like they were ripped right out of a videogame of comic. Those costumes looked very much like someone that would show up at a Comic-Con event.
Thats because America isnt as creative of a country as Japan. Also, where do you think anime/video game creators get fashion ideas from? Theres more to Japan than anime/video games. Those women are extremely talented, Chigusa has more talent in her pinky than all US female wrestlers combined and half the males too.
Ozaki always wore that, she is a somebody, so she dresses the part. Again, DIFFERENT CULTURE, so without going on about her dressing like a Final Fantasy character and not taking her seriously, look up what stuff is like over there. And Chigusa doesnt look like a mech.

Please don't sound like a weeaboo.
Isn't that the audience that would watch that crap?
I found it amusing at 17:55 when the one guy is about to get slammed off the top of the cage, and he points to the cage door being open so the ref can come close it before he get slammed.
That ship sailed a long time ago.

No way, I'm happy you shared that find with us.
Too bad I can't think of anything really helpful to contribute at the moment. Billboards, tie-in merchandise, I think everybody knows about that stuff so I won't bother.
