Takeshi Ono Documentation Project

 


Takeshi Ono made his debut in 1994, fighting Masayoshi Motegi at a Pro Wrestling Crusaders show (a matchup that the footage gods will hopefully deliver unto us eventually), and retired rather unceremoniously in 2013. Takeshi Ono was in many ways the ideal pro wrestler, a super slick fast grappler with brutal strikes, charismatic personality thanks to his dickish charisma and a knack for putting epic finishing runs together. In some ways he embodies both the violent hybrid shootstyle and the sleazy underground edge (teaming with Masao Orihara to form the sleazy superduo of the Tonpachi Machine Guns) that makes Japanese indy wrestling so great, and he has alternated between working epic main events and quick undercard matches throughout his career. This blog in part will be dedicated to documenting and studying his career, and this page will compile all match reviews. Matches will be broken down into SKIPPABLE, FUN, GREAT, and EPIC borrowing the tried and true classification from another blog.
