Big Arn's Puroresu Adventure 2014: First Navigation

Big Arn's Puroresu Adventure 2014 #1

by Arnold Furious, James Dixon (Editor), Benjamin Richardson (Illustrator)

Fed up with being forced to cover endless WWF shows from the eighties and nineties, Arnold Furious decided to up sticks in 2014 and head to the Orient to cover his true Japanese wrestling. In the first of his two part adventure, Big Arn travels the length and breadth of Japan to take in an eclectic wrestling scene that covers every possible genre imaginable. Covering all of the happenings in Japanese wrestling for promotions big and small between the months of January and June, Big Arn stumbles across some unseen classics, hidden gems and match of the year candidates. As ever, he also sees some pretty ropey stuff too. With handy guides to the promotions and a few history lessons sprinkled in to help out fans unfamiliar with Japanese wrestling, Big Arn's Puroresu Adventure is suitable reading for all fans. Though be forewarned; he does tend to get a little excited when writing about Japanese wrestling! It's all documented here in this 140,000 word tome!

Two possibilities...

Either you are intimately familiar with the Japanese wrestling scene, in which case you will have your intelligence insulted, or you aren't, in which case this is just gibberish.

Either way, it reads like it was written by a teenager who still thinks swearing and using skirts slurs makes you cool.

Basically just a series of blogposts/recaps & the language can be a little crass at times. The tone is a bit negative but the enthusiasm when it does pop up is enthusiastic & has me interested in checking out the content in question. Definitely not for non wrestling fans.
