Category: That Was The Year That Was

A varied couple of days of action towards the tail end of August sees trips to All Japan, RINGS, AAA and GWF of all places.

On August 15, 1992, All Japan Women’s Wrestling held their historic Mid Summer Typhoon show.

Some good to great action from Japan and an all-time case for worst gimmick match represent the peaks and troughs of 1992.

With August upon us in That Was The Year That Was, we get to join the masses in enjoying the action from a G1 Climax tournament.

One promotion gets the bulk of my time this week as Fire On The Mountain is finally upon us.

Another trip to Japan and Mexico for the in-ring action, while there was a distinct Southern-fried element to the angles and vignettes.

This week’s action has a more international flavor as shoot-style, puro and lucha are showcased in some significant shows.

A surprisingly heavy in-ring week with an interesting mix of a ‘dream tag’ and a prototypical take on a gimmick match.

A fun and varied week of action that trended towards good, if not great.

This week on That Was The Year That Was the focus is the Great American Bash with two titles to be decided and a lot of high-quality action.

From the angle to the matches and everything in-between, one of the best weeks of pro wrestling in 1992!

This week’s article looks at the action from a stacked Fourth of July in 1992.

Some good, some bad and some ugly.

All of the action from All Japan Women and New Japan were worth checking out, whilst the PWFG contest was fine for what it was.

We are almost exactly halfway through what has been a largely exciting year!
