Nina und Lotta werfen die Taue aus und berichten von ihrem jeweiligen Urlaub. Während Lotta in Paris Badekappe trug und täglich 10kg Gebäck verhaftete, rannte Nina vor Wachhunden davon und trank literweise Raki. Die Schwestern sind unversehrt wieder zurück gekommen, das liegt vor allem an ihrem tollen Freund*innen.

Mitsuharu Misawa. Toshiaki Kawada. Kenta Kobashi. Akira Taue. These were All Japan's “Big Four” during of the 1990s, the four most influential players of the decade. English-speaking fans in 2021 have more and more often been referring to these four wrestlers as AJPW's “Four Pillars of Heaven,” and recently, the term “four pillars” has turned into hip new short-hand for “top four wrestlers.” What's ironic about this is that “Four Pillars of Heaven” is actually a mistranslation of the word “shitennō” (四天王). In colloquial Japanese, they're often referred to as the shitennō of AJPW. Shitennou is a common Japanese phrase to describe the top four people, places or things within a set context. In modern English, we often share our “Mt. Rushmores” of wrestlers, the top four of (fill in the blank); “shitennō” in Japanese works the same way. So, the phrase “Four Pillars of Heaven,” which is now an accepted addition to the pro wrestling lexicon, was actually born out of a mistranslation and misinterpretation of the the original kanji characters. Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper break this down in more detail while giving the overarching backstory behind Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi and Taue. They also discuss at length how important Stan Hansen was during this period, and how important his relationships with each AJPW shittenō were.

Taue is probably one of the most enthusiastic breeders I've had the pleasure of visiting with.

Phil talks with Alan Counihan of the Pro-Wrestling torch about the nasty fist fight between Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue. We talk about the 4 Pillars era of All Japan, the weird Kawada US and Canadian excursion and much more

A very special episode of Maybe Not Taue. Steven Graham is joined by Kadaveri (he/him) each countdown their top 25 lists for 2021. A quick apology as there was some recording issues, and there is extra talking over due to that.

Another gap is plugged as Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (simoncross3) travel back to All Japan. The six-man tag matches between Tsuruta-gun and the Super Generation Army were maybe what made the LMTYS hosts fall in love with All Japan wrestling, so this being a prequel to that rivalry, with Jumbo's previous great rival Tenryu leading his army of disciples, including a young zebra-print wearing Kawada, against Taue and his top two lieutenants, including the always welcome return of the Shithouse himself, Masanobu Fuchi!

WH Park welcomes Jamesie (The Boots and Trunks Podcast) to the Long & Winding Royal Road.

This match is considered by many experts to be the greatest multi-man match in not only All Japan history but all of professional wrestling.

Der TAPp Podcast mit Cedric, Max und Simon Max & Simon, Simon und May, Max +Simon, Simon / Max - all das sind Möglichkeiten, die Namen zu verbinden, doch wie gut funktionieren diese beiden Pioniere in einer Bonusfolge über, ja liebe Zuhörer, Taue? Man wird es nie erfahren... Außer natürlich man hört hier jetzt mal die Folge an, ne? Über den Verbleib von Cedric haben wir übrigens keine klaren Informationen, Gerüchten zufolge ist er in Mexiko verschwunden. Er soll der mit einem mysteriösen Schlagschrauber in der Nähe der Grenze gesichtet worden sein... Wir würden uns über Hinweise zu seinem Verbleib freuen, schließlich ist Cedric ja eine wahre Content-Kanone!!!!! OHNE DEN LÄUFT HIER AUF DAUER GAR NICHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Und in Mexiko, da soll es ja echt gefährlich sein. Das ist das Revier von dem neuen Drogenboss, man nennt ihn auch El Chapo 2.0, doch seine Feinde kennen ihn nur als EL KNATTERINO. Mit seiner brachialen Schlagkraft verbreitet er Angst und Schrecken und soll schon so manche unwillkürliche, explosive Stuhlgänge ausgelöst haben. Wir hoffen trotzdem noch aufs beste, aber ich persönlich hab Hage schon fast abgeschrieben... Naja was soll's bis nächste Woche und wehe einer schaltet nächste Woche nicht ein dann komme ich persönlich mal vorbei hier!!

Diese Woche lenkt Jakob den Kahn, während Alex' Lethargie die Wellen bildet, die die sichere Überfahrt gefährden. Weil Comedy das Holz ist, aus dem das Boot mit einem scharfen Hauch von Ironie geschnitzt wurde, war der Schiffsausflug, der diese Folge bildet, eventuell schon zum Schiffsbruch verurteilt. Die Fähre soll noch ein paar Jahre halten…. Hätten wir die Taue, die das Segel, gewoben aus Ideenreichtum und Spontanität, auf Spannung halten, im Vorhinein viel dichter Knüpfen sollen? Hätten wir die Verzierungen, die die Außenseite Backbords schmücken und unsere persönlichen Erfahrungen und Ängste enthalten, dort anbringen sollen? Ein Risiko? Ein Schiff zum Bruch verurteilt… oder die Zukunft für Millionen Geweih-Hechtschleimfische, Seesterne und Tiefseegorgonien, die unser Wrack vor der Küste Barbados, das die Podcastlandschaft darstellt, mit Leben füllen werden? Doch das Holz, aus dem das Schiff gemacht ist, ist nicht wichtiger als der Wind in dem Segel. Ich hoffe jemand findet diese Flaschenpost, die man in anderen Zusammenhängen wohl Folgenbeschreibung nennen würde. Mir gehen die Kommata aus… ich werde unter Deck gehen und mit einem Messer das mein Verstand ist aus Kartoffeln die die deutsche Grammatik symbolisieren neue schnitzen und unseren Vorrat aufstocken. Aus der Ferne höre ich „Mann über Bord“. Ein Rettungsversuch hat keinen Sinn. Sobald er sich in dem Netz aus Metaphern und Sinnbildern verheddert ist er verloren. Unser Schicksal?

In this episode we pick up pretty much where we left off in Chapter I. Genichiro Tenryu is the new AJPW Triple Crown Champion, but his feud with Jumbo Tsuruta continues. How does it end and where do we go from there are the big questions we answer in this outing. The Four Pillars of Wrestling also make their first appearances in our story and we chart Mitsuharu Misawa’s life up until May of 1990. What elements of his upbringing drove him to wrestling greatness? What obstacles did he overcome? And who helped him along the way? All of these things and much more are covered in Chapter 2 of King’s Road: A 90s All Japan Retrospective. In addition to the context and background information discussed, we also take a look at the following four matches: Tenryu vs Tsuruta 10/11/89 - Triple Crown III Tenryu vs Tsuruta 4/19/90 - Final Outing Tiger Mask II & Toshiaki Kawada vs Fuyuki & Yatsu 5/14/90 - The Mask Comes Off Misawa, Kobashi, & Taue vs. Jumbo, Kabuki, & Fuchi 5/26/90 - New Generation Emerges Missing Pieces - Genichiro Tenryu left AJPW after his defeat in April of 1990 at the hands of Jumbo Tsuruta to be the spokesmodel for Megane Super - an eyeglass maker in Japan. However, the company seemed to have a dual motive in hiring Tenryu as they would launch a wrestling company shortly thereafter - Super World of Sports. The SWS was founded with the motto “Straight and Strong”. Megane threw a ton of money around to recruit wrestlers - mostly from All Japan - in an attempt to form a legitimate threat to the other big two - NJPW & AJPW. They even had a short-lived partnership with the WWF and promoted 3 shows at the Tokyo Dome with Vince McMahon’s company. SWS would not last and became a victim of both the economic downturn in Japan and perhaps their own overreach. Tenryu would go on to found another company - Wrestling and Romance, better known as WAR. Eventually he found his way back to All Japan and enjoyed quite a bit of success in his late 40s and early 50s capturing both the IWGP Heavyweight title and then the AJPW Triple Crown twice more. Horst Hoffman was a journeyman wrestler in the truest sense of the word. Born in Germany, he spent most of his early career wrestling in his homeland and honing his considerable technical skills. Hoffman caught the notice of fellow European Billy Robinson and found his way to the AWA for a time where he competed in upper mid-card and main event matches. Hoffman has been described as a shooter and his eventual exposure to a wider audience provided all the evidence one needed to apply that appellation. When he made his Japan debut in 1972 for International Wrestling Enterprises, it’s possible that an 11 year old Misawa first became acquainted with him, though he would go to even wider exposure in Japan when he began wrestling for AJPW in 1975. He competed at the highest level for the promotion notching victories over the Destroyer and Pat O’Connor and engaging in main event contests with Jumbo Tsuruta and Giant Baba. His final recorded All Japan tour came in 1977 when he teamed with Billy Robinson in the precursor to the Real World Tag League. They finished in the middle of the pack with 7 points. A minor figure in pro wrestling history by today’s standards, he was no less incredible in the ring and is highly esteemed by his peers and fans alike. If nothing else, he provided inspiration to a young Misawa when he needed it most and an older Misawa would pay a suitable tribute by adopting his ring colors and tights. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:10:00 Tenryu as champ 00:11:00 10/11/89 Tenryu v Tsuruta Triple Crown 00:17:00 Where next for Tenryu? 00:17:42 4/19/90 Tsuruta v Tenryu Triple Crown 00:24:00 Sayonara Tenryu 00:24:26 Where do we go from here?

Hauch der Vergangenheit Aufgeladen in den hohen Norden Teil 13 In diesem Podcast sprechen wir darüber, wie wir unseren Hund nach einem nassen Regenspaziergang trocken bekommen. Wir erleben, wie man wegen Sturm Lastwägen an den Boden der Fähre mit Gurten sichert, besuchen das verlassene Fischerdorfmuseum des Dorfes A und reisen in die Vergangenheit der unterdrückten Fischer, die in winzigen Hütten hausten… Wir blicken durch die Bretterritzen einer Scheune, erkennen ein paar der alten, kleinen norwegischen Nordlandboote. Ruder, Taue, Netze, alles, was das harte Leben der Fischer ausmachte, liegen herum oder hängen an den vom Zahn der Zeit gealterten Holzwänden. Das Leben eines Fischers war äußerst beschwerlich und trotz großer Fänge reichte es meist geradeso aus, um zu überleben… Viel Freude beim Reinhören. Hier geht´s zu unseren weiteren Plattformen: Blog: https://denis-katzer.de/de/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tanjadeniskatzer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deniskatzer/ Link zu unseren Büchern: https://denis-katzer.de/de/shop/itemlist/category/97-buecher Mit unserem Lebensprojekt „Die große Reise“ möchten wir als Botschafter von Mutter Erde ein Zeitdokument unseres Planeten schaffen. Wir wollen einen Gegenpol zu einer Welt bilden, die sich jeden Tag ein bisschen schneller überholt. Mit dem Motorrad durch Indien, zu Fuß und mit Kamelen durchs Australische Outback, mit dem Fahrrad von Deutschland in die Mongolei und nun die längste E-Bike Expedition der Welt, sind nur einige der vielen Expeditionsreisen. Bisher 444.000 Kilometer ohne Flüge, über 11 x um die Erde / einmal zum Mond und darüber hinaus. Das ist die bisherige Bilanz. English Touch of the past Charged to the far north part 13 In this podcast we talk about how to get our dog dry after a wet rain walk. We experience how to secure trucks to the bottom of the ferry with belts due to storms, visit the abandoned fishing village museum of village A and travel into the past of the oppressed fishermen who lived in tiny huts ... We look through the cracks in the boards of a barn and see a couple of the old, small Norwegian Nordland boats. Oars, ropes, nets, everything that made up the hard life of fishermen are lying around or hanging on the wooden walls, which have been aged by the ravages of time. The life of a fisherman was extremely difficult and, despite large catches, it was usually just enough to survive ... Sorry, this podcast is at the moment only in German language. Have fun listening With our life project "the great journey" we want to create a contemporary document of our planet as an ambassador from Mother Earth. We want to form a counterpoint to a world that is overtaking itself a little faster every day. By motorcycle through India, on foot and with camels through the Australian outback, by bike from Germany to Mongolia and now the longest e-bike expedition in the world are just some of the many expedition trips. So far 444,000 kilometers without flights, over 11 times around the earth / once to the moon and beyond. That is the balance so far.

In dieser locker-flockigen Folge unterhalten sich die beiden Frostbeulen Timothy Trust & Martin Sierp über den Schnee von gestern und heute: der Murmeltiertag, Fleischbällchen, der 52 Freunde Zauberkongress, merkwürdige Reaktionen von Zauberern auf ihre eigenen Tricks, „Sein oder nicht sein“, der Haargel-Fail, Probleme & Poesie mit Masken, „Ich werde wie meine Mutter“, Helena Zengel, die Meisner-Schauspieltechnik und natürlich das Wetter und die Jahre 78/79.

Seit ich in die Stadt gezogen bin, vermisse ich den morgendlichen Blick aus dem Fenster. In Ehreshoven waren da eine Wiese und der Wald und mitunter der Morgennebel, aus dem nur die obere Hälfte der weidenden Rinder herausschaute. Und da war der Morgentau auf den Blättern, Halmen und Zweigen. In der Stadt bemerkt man ihn kaum. Außer vielleicht als Schleier auf der Windschutzscheibe, der mit einem Scheibenwischer-Wisch schnell entfernt ist. Für den Propheten Jesaja gleicht das Kommen des Gesalbten Gottes dem geheimnisvollen Kommen des Morgentaus. „Tauet, ihr Himmel von oben! Ihr Wolken regnet herab den Gerechten!“ (vgl. Jes 45,8) Der Tau fällt im Dunkel der Nacht. Keiner sieht ihn kommen. Wenn der Tag erwacht, ist er da. Nur die Wachenden, die Frühaufsteher, die den Tag erwarten, erahnen etwas von seinem Kommen. Der Tau ist unendlich zart und fein. Er gibt der Schöpfung Glanz und Frische. Er legt sich um sie wie ein Kleid, in dem sie schöner ist denn je. Der Tau hat seine Stunde. Mittags ist von ihm nichts mehr zu sehen – auch wenn er noch in der Luft liegt. Wer den Morgen verschläft, sieht ihn nicht, noch die von ihm verwandelte Natur. „Der Heilige Geist wird über Dich kommen“, sagt der Engel zu Maria bei der Verkündigung. So wie der Tau: in der Verborgenheit, unendlich zart und zu seiner Zeit. Im Deutschen haben wir das gleiche Wort für das Kommen des Morgentaus und das Schmelzen von Eis: tauen. Gott wird ein Mensch wie wenn es morgens herabtaut. Ich bin bereit für Ihn, wenn ich auftaue und mich erweichen lasse. Wir gehören zur Erde, zu der Jesaja sagt: „Tue dich auf und sprosse den Heiland hervor.“ Taue herab, mein Gott, dann taue ich auf. Amen. Fra' Georg Lengerke

I'm not sure we could have followed up last weeks team with any team more different than the Holy Demon Army. No schtick, No funny business, straight forward ass kicking and 5 star matches. 2 of the 4 Pillars in Japan, Kawada and Taue started off as rivals, but came together go be one of the most successful teams in All Japan Pro Wrestling and all of Japanese wrestling history. Does Colin pronounce all of the names properly? Which Japanese wrestler does Cheech call "sexy"? Let's party!

Brian Elliott from HardCopy.ie joins WH Park on the Long & Winding Royal Road to talk about a match with many ramifications for All Japan Pro Wrestling: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Akira Taue from the 1993 Champion Carnival. Brian was the editor of the excellent Fighting Spirit Magazine based out of the UK and is a massive fan of All Japan of the ‘90s. He and WH share their thoughts on the match but spend most of their time discussing the backgrounds of Kawada, Taue and their later formation of the Holy Demon Army.

Der tägliche Podcast:Tour durch´s neue Testament. Bis zur Adventszeit lesen wir täglich ein Kapitel Neues Testament. Heute kommt der Impuls von Sven Hardt. In diesem Kapitel geht es um den Schutz Gottes auch im schweren Sturm, um die Rettung aus der Not, um das Vertrauen in seine Leitung. Apostelgeschichte 27: 9-44 9 Wir hatten inzwischen viel Zeit verloren. Das Herbstfasten war vorbei und die Schifffahrt wurde gefährlich. Deshalb warnte Paulus seine Bewacher. 10 »Ich sehe voraus«, sagte er, »dass eine Weiterfahrt zu großen Schwierigkeiten führen wird. Sie bringt nicht nur Ladung und Schiff in Gefahr, sondern auch das Leben der Menschen an Bord.« 11 Aber der Hauptmann* hörte mehr auf den Steuermann und den Kapitän als auf das, was Paulus sagte. 12 Außerdem war der Hafen zum Überwintern nicht sehr geeignet. So waren die meisten dafür, wieder in See zu stechen und zu versuchen, noch bis nach Phönix zu kommen. Dieser ebenfalls auf Kreta gelegene Hafen ist nach Westen hin offen und man konnte dort den Winter zubringen. 13 Als ein leichter Südwind einsetzte, nahmen die Seeleute es für ein günstiges Zeichen. Die Anker wurden gelichtet, und das Schiff segelte so dicht wie möglich an der Küste Kretas entlang. 14 Aber bald brach aus der Richtung der Insel ein Sturm los, der gefürchtete Nordost, 15 und riss das Schiff mit. Da es unmöglich war, Kurs zu halten, ließen wir uns einfach treiben. 16 Im Schutz der kleinen Insel Kauda war der Sturm etwas weniger heftig und wir konnten mit einiger Mühe das Beiboot einholen. 17 Danach legten die Seeleute zur Sicherung ein paar Taue fest um das ganze Schiff. Um nicht in die Große Syrte verschlagen zu werden, brachten sie den Treibanker aus und ließen das Schiff dahintreiben. 18 Der Sturm setzte dem Schiff stark zu, deshalb warf man am nächsten Tag einen Teil der Ladung ins Meer. 19 Am Tag darauf warfen die Seeleute eigenhändig die Schiffsausrüstung über Bord. 20 Tagelang zeigten sich weder Sonne noch Sterne am Himmel. Der Sturm ließ nicht nach, und so verloren wir am Ende jede Hoffnung auf Rettung. 21 Niemand wollte mehr etwas essen. Da erhob sich Paulus und sagte: »Ihr hättet auf meine Warnung hören und im Hafen bleiben sollen. Dann wäre uns dies erspart geblieben. 22 Doch jetzt bitte ich euch: Lasst den Mut nicht sinken! Alle werden am Leben bleiben, nur das Schiff geht verloren. 23 In der vergangenen Nacht erschien mir nämlich ein Engel* des Gottes, dem ich gehöre und dem ich diene, 24 und sagte zu mir: 'Hab keine Angst, Paulus! Du musst vor den Kaiser treten, und auch alle anderen, die mit dir auf dem Schiff sind, wird Gott deinetwegen retten.' 25 Also seid mutig, Männer! Ich vertraue Gott, dass alles so kommen wird, wie er es zu mir gesagt hat. 26 Wir werden an einer Insel stranden.« 27 Wir trieben nun schon die vierzehnte Nacht im Sturm auf dem Mittelmeer. Gegen Mitternacht vermuteten die Seeleute Land in der Nähe. 28 Sie warfen ein Lot aus und kamen auf 37 Meter Wassertiefe. Etwas später waren es nur noch 28 Meter. 29 Sie fürchteten, auf ein Küstenriff aufzulaufen, darum warfen sie vom Heck vier Anker aus und wünschten sehnlichst den Tag herbei. 30 Aber noch in der Dunkelheit versuchten die Seeleute, das Schiff zu verlassen. Unter dem Vorwand, auch vom Bug aus Anker auswerfen zu wollen, brachten sie das Beiboot zu Wasser. 31 Doch Paulus warnte den Hauptmann* und die Soldaten: »Wenn die Seeleute das Schiff verlassen, habt ihr keine Aussicht auf Rettung mehr.« 32 Da hieben die Soldaten die Taue durch und ließen das Beiboot davontreiben. 33 Noch bevor der Tag anbrach, forderte Paulus alle auf, doch etwas zu essen. »Ihr wartet nun schon vierzehn Tage auf Rettung«, sagte er, »und habt die ganze Zeit über nichts gegessen. 34 Ich bitte euch deshalb, esst etwas; das habt ihr nötig, wenn ihr überleben wollt. Niemand von euch wird auch nur ein Haar von seinem Kopf verlieren.« 35 Dann nahm Paulus ein Brot, sprach darüber vor allen ein Dankgebet, brach das Brot in Stücke und fing an z

For the fifth and final time, a year-closing clash from All Japan's World Strongest Tag League is the setting for another five-star collision, as Misawa once again teams up with his padawan Jun Akiyama to face his bitter rivals of Kawada & Taue of the Holy Demon Army. It's also the last time that Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) watch a match in this series to feature both Demon Army members, and they take this time to reflect on what their differing qualities brought both them as a team and wrestling in general. lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's back to All Japan, as another World's Strongest Tag League tour is capped off with a match that gets the perfect score from Dave Meltzer. Akiyama has proven himself worthy to be in such hallowed company, but do he and his mentor Misawa continue their winning ways against arguably the greatest tag team of all time in the Holy Demon Army? Do Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) agree with this particular rating? Download and listen to find out. lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's a slight change of line-up. Whilst the Four Pillars of Heaven will no longer be contesting epic tag matches, the new "Fifth Pillar" of All Japan is starting to emerge in form of hot young prospect Jun Akiyama. He has replaced Kenta Kobashi as the partner of Mitsuharu Misawa. Will his lack of experience cost them defeat against the established Holy Demon Army? Will his inexperience also cause this match to result in a substantial dip in quality? Let's see what Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) have to say about all this... lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's the final match on this list that featured Misawa and Kobashi on the same team. This time they partner up with Satoru Asako to take on the Holy Demon Army and their new partner Tamon Honda. Will these two new additions be a gain or loss to proceedings? Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) are here to decide... lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's the final tag team encounter to only include the Four Pillars of Heaven. Did they save the best till last? Let's see what Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) think... lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's another tag collision involving All Japan's Four Pillars of Heaven as Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi battle once more with the Holy Demon Army of Kawada & Taue. Whilst they try to find new angles and nuances to add to their latest encounter, see if Simon (@simoncross) and Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) can do the same with their analysis. lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's another short mini-sode, unfortunately, as Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) have only a short portion of this latest Four Pillars of Heaven tussle to get the perfect score from Dave Meltzer. If you can a link to where we can find the full match then please let us know and we'll re-do this episode in the future. lmtyspod@gmail.com

Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) have grown to love the All Japan six-man tag team main event. Will they love it as much when the promotion's owner Shohei 'Giant' Baba gets involved. It's fair to say that Baba's best days are behind him, and his pace of wrestling would be generously described if you were using the word "plodding". lmtyspod@gmail.com

It's the final of the World's Strongest Tag League and our Kobashi-thon reaches its end and our hero continues to battle for that elusive big win to cement his place int he main event scene. Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) consider what the Four Pillars all offer and whether a top guy can be too strong compared to their peers. lmtyspod@gmail.com

New battle lines are formed in the classic All Japan six-man battleground as Misawa & Kobashi are joined by rookie sensation Jun Akiyama to face off with Kawada & Taue alongside second-timer in the five-star club Yoshinari Ogawa. Can they live up to the high quality set with the veterans Tsuruta and Fuchi being replaced by two relative newcomers? Listen to find out. lmtyspod@gmail.com

Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) adored the previous match involving these six wrestlers in their three-man combos and it was only the second match to receive unanimous five-star scores from Meltzer, Lorcan, and (most surprisingly) Simon! Let's see if the last match involving these two teams can match such critical heights... lmtyspod@gmail.com

Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) return to the ongoing feud between Jumbo's Army and the Super Generation Army as the two key trios of each group stand off again for faction superiority. The hits are flying, the submission holds are wrenched, the battle lines are drawn, and this epic encounter, often cited as the greatest six-man tag team match of all time, is the centre of a very passionate discussion lmtyspod@gmail.com

The first of three six-man tag team matches between the top two factions of early 90s All Japan to receive the full five-stars, Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) watch the Misawa-Tsuruta rivalry expand to include their team mates, and fought with every bit as much ferocity as last episode's all-time classic. lmtyspod@gmail.com

Sorry for the slight delay, a planned episode had to be aborted and we're back to the list as we return to New Japan Pro Wrestling for the first time since our first episode. Whilst Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) have already covered matches involving the great All Japan wrestlers of the 90s (Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi, Taue) this is the ONLY match in the series that includes a member of the other infamous collection of Japanese wrestlers to revolutionise wrestling in the 90s. Whilst Chono and Hashimoto never even got one, Keiji Mutoh of the NJPW Three Musketeers was able to take part in one perfect match in the eyes of Dave Meltzer only three years in his career as he and Shiro Koshinaka challenge the returning UWF shoot fighting team of Akira Maeda and Nobuhiko Takada to try to reclaim the IWGP Tag Team titles for New Japan. lmtyspod@gmail.com

James is joined by Alex Watt this week for the fortieth edition of the Beginner's Guide to Japanese Wrestling. They take a sweeping look at the state of AJPW in 1995, looking at matches featuring Taue, Kawada, Misawa and Kobashi, All Japan's Four Pillars of Heaven, as well as their Gaijin contingent Stan Hansen, The Patriot and the late Bob Duncum Jnr.

Erich Hambach ist einer der Organisatoren des ersten deutschen Hanfkongresses, den ich vor zwei Wochen in Grafing bei München besucht habe. Hanf ist eine der ältesten Nutzpflanzen der Menschheit. Das Papier der ersten Gutenberg-Bibel war aus Hanf gemacht, Segel und Taue wurden jahrhundertelang aus Hanffasern hergestellt, und auch die ersten Ford-Automobile hatten noch Karosserien aus Hanf. Nachdem diese Superpflanze durch systematische Verteufelung fast hundert Jahre aus unserem Alltag verschwunden war, hat seit ein paar Jahren eine Renaissance eingesetzt, die durch den Hanfkongress noch mal einen deutlichen Schub erfahren dürfte. Erich Hambach erzählt uns, welch vielfältigen Nutzen diese segensreiche Pflanze stiftet, was er sich von dem Kongress verspricht, aber auch, wie es überhaupt zur Dämonisierung des Hanfs kommen konnte.

Das Regime mit hohem Einschluss (H-Mode) in einem Tokamak Plasma zeichnet sich durch eine besondere Randregion aus. Auf einem kleinen räumlichen Bereich von 1-2 cm ändern sich die Eigenschaften des Plasmas signifikant. In dieser Region, auch Pedestal genannt, variieren einige Parameter um 1-2 Größenordnungen. Bisher sind die Entstehung dieses Pedestals und seine Stabilität nur unvollständig verstanden. Daher ist es ein Ziel dieser Dissertation, zu dem Verständnis des Pedestals beizutragen und Skalierungen für größere Maschinen, wie ITER oder DEMO, zu entwickeln. Mit Messungen von verschiedenen Tokamaks - ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D, JET - wurde eine Pedestal-Datenbank aufgebaut. Das Pedestal wurde für alle Maschinen mit derselben Methode charakterisiert. Dadurch erhält man den maximalen Wert im Pedestal, seine Breite und seine Steigung, jeweils für die Elektronendichte ne, Elektronentemperatur Te und Ionentemperatur Ti. Diese Größen und Ableitungen davon, wie Druck oder Einschlusszeit, wurden analysiert. Für diesen Zweck wurden zwei verschiedene Sets von Parametern verwendet: normierte Größen (Druck beta, Zeit nu*, Länge rho*, Form fq und technische Größen (Ausdehnung a, magnetisches Feld Bt, Plasma Strom Ip, Heizleistung P). Alle Ergebnisse werden durch die Wahl des Koordinatensystems beeinflusst: normierter poloidaler Fluss PsiN oder Ortsraum r/a. Bei beiden Parametersets wurde beobachtet, dass die Pedestalbreiten in Elektronentemperatur und Elektronendichte unterschiedlich skalieren. Für ITER oder DEMO würde diese Skalierung bedeuten, dass das Temperaturpedestal deutlich breiter ist als das Dichtepedestal. Der Druck am Pedestal zeigt verschiedene Abhängigkeiten für Elektronen und Ionen. Die Extrapolationen zu ITER und DEMO geben ein Te,ped von 4 keV bzw. 10 keV, allerdings ergeben sich deutlich niedrigere Werte für die Ionentemperatur. Eine zwei-Phasen Analyse der Energieeinschlusszeit tauE wurde angewandt, um den Beitrag des Pedestals zur gesamten Einschlusszeit abzuschätzen. Die Abhängigkeiten, die sich aus der Skalierung für tauE,ped ergeben, sind nahezu identisch mit denen der IPB98 Skalierung. Dies ist ein deutlicher Hinweis darauf, dass durch das Pedestal ein signifikanter Beitrag zum gesamten Einschluss geleistet wird. Die Extrapolationen zu ITER zeigen eine Einschlusszeit von 3 s, was sich am unteren Rand der IPB98 Skalierung befindet. Die Pedestalgradienten im Ortsraum zeigen eine deutliche Korrelation mit den Werten am oberen Rand des Pedestals. Besonders ausgeprägt ist diese Abhängigkeit für die Elektronentemperatur, hier wurde zudem keine Abhängigkeit mit einem anderen Parameter beobachtet. Die Gradienten in PsiN zeigen keine vergleichbare Korrelation. Der normierte Druckgradient alpha, der für die Stabilität des Pedestals wichtig ist, ist korreliert mit dem normierten Druck und der Plasmaform. Auch andere Beobachtungen lassen auf eine wichtige Rolle der Plasmaform schließen, was einen starken Einfluss auf Extrapolationen haben kann. Die vorliegende Studie bestätigt, dass die Randtransport Barriere nicht durch eine einzelne Theorie beschrieben werden kann. Die Höhe des Pedestals in der Elektronen- und Ionentemperatur sowie der Dichte kann separat durch entsprechenden Transport limitiert sein, während sie zusammen durch eine Stabilitätsgrenze limitiert sind. Gleichzeitig skaliert die radiale Ausdehnung der Temperatur und der Dichte verschieden.

Mein Vater war selbst Seemann; deshalb weiß ich sehr genau, woher das kommt. Mein Vater hat nämlich auch Taue spleißen müssen. Das tut man auf dem Festland eher selten; es geht …

In this episode we pick up pretty much where we left off in Chapter I. Genichiro Tenryu is the new AJPW Triple Crown Champion, but his feud with Jumbo Tsuruta continues. How does it end and where do we go from there are the big questions we answer in this outing. The Four Pillars of Wrestling also make their first appearances in our story and we chart Mitsuharu Misawa's life up until May of 1990. What elements of his upbringing drove him to wrestling greatness? What obstacles did he overcome? And who helped him along the way? All of these things and much more are covered in Chapter 2 of King's Road: A 90s All Japan Retrospective. In addition to the context and background information discussed, we also take a look at the following four matches: * Tenryu vs Tsuruta 10/11/89 - Triple Crown III * Tenryu vs Tsuruta 4/19/90 - Final Outing * Tiger Mask II & Toshiaki Kawada vs Fuyuki & Yatsu 5/14/90 - The Mask Comes Off * Misawa, Kobashi, & Taue vs. Jumbo, Kabuki, & Fuchi 5/26/90 - New Generation Emerges Missing Pieces - Genichiro Tenryu left AJPW after his defeat in April of 1990 at the hands of Jumbo Tsuruta to be the spokesmodel for Megane Super - an eyeglass maker in Japan. However, the company seemed to have a dual motive in hiring Tenryu as they would launch a wrestling company shortly thereafter - Super World of Sports. The SWS was founded with the motto “Straight and Strong”. Megane threw a ton of money around to recruit wrestlers - mostly from All Japan - in an attempt to form a legitimate threat to the other big two - NJPW & AJPW. They even had a short-lived partnership with the WWF and promoted 3 shows at the Tokyo Dome with Vince McMahon's company. SWS would not last and became a victim of both the economic downturn in Japan and perhaps their own overreach. Tenryu would go on to found another company - Wrestling and Romance, better known as WAR. Eventually he found his way back to All Japan and enjoyed quite a bit of success in his late 40s and early 50s capturing both the IWGP Heavyweight title and then the AJPW Triple Crown twice more. Horst Hoffman was a journeyman wrestler in the truest sense of the word. Born in Germany, he spent most of his early career wrestling in his homeland and honing his considerable technical skills. Hoffman caught the notice of fellow European Billy Robinson and found his way to the AWA for a time where he competed in upper mid-card and main event matches. Hoffman has been described as a shooter and his eventual exposure to a wider audience provided all the evidence one needed to apply that appellation. When he made his Japan debut in 1972 for International Wrestling Enterprises, it's possible that an 11 year old Misawa first became acquainted with him, though he would go to even wider exposure in Japan when he began wrestling for AJPW in 1975. He competed at the highest level for the promotion notching victories over the Destroyer and Pat O'Connor and engaging in main event contests with Jumbo Tsuruta and Giant Baba. His final recorded All Japan tour came in 1977 when he teamed with Billy Robinson in the precursor to the Real World Tag League. They finished in the middle of the pack with 7 points. A minor figure in pro wrestling history by today's standards, he was no less incredible in the ring and is highly esteemed by his peers and fans alike. If nothing else, he provided inspiration to a young Misawa when he needed it most and an older Misawa would pay a suitable tribute by adopting his ring colors and tights. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:10:00 Tenryu as champ 00:11:00 10/11/89 Tenryu v Tsuruta Triple Crown 00:17:00 Where next for Tenryu? 00:17:42 4/19/90 Tsuruta v Tenryu Triple Crown 00:24:00 Sayonara Tenryu 00:24:26 Where do we go from here?
