From the Observer, Dave's write-up on Maeda after Fighting Network Rings went out of business To add to it, this was only a few months after Maeda and co returned to New Japan, after they'd left NJPW two years earlier. Early to mid '80s New Japan is super interesting because they basically had a boom period cut right off because almost all their currently relevant and future-star Japanese guys left within a few months of each other.

I just got to the time Akira Maeda shot on Andre the Giant (it's a lot less wild and exciting than it sounds, around the 19 minute mark is when Maeda loses his cool) Maeda or Atsushi Onita are the most interesting guys in Japanese wrestling history, I think. Both lunatics in their own ways and both changed pro wrestling in significant ways (probably Onita more because hardcore wrestling found its way overseas while shoot wrestling mostly stayed there)

The '00s American indie scene looks outrageous with how much talent WWE had no interest in compared to now I've mostly been watching old '80s NJPW after the UWF split, and UWF, and now NJPW after the UWF came back.
