@@seanswade8699 I wish I had squid friends, we could have a party, and when they're not looking, I throw one on the grill and cook them with lemon juice and pepper, wtf is this video about? 😯
In the future, please PLEASE review Jushin Liger: Fist Of Thunder. Imagine Liger wrestling his main enemy in a match, then as it progresses, the two start glowing and the movie turns into some weird Power Rangers fight scene.
BurningEagle Yep. I know from watching a few Luke Gallows singles matches what an inverted full Nelson looks like. If you reverse that, it’s just a regular full nelson.
Not really. Even though the words reverse and inverted are sometimes used interchangeably in wrestling, technically they still have different meanings. Reverse could mean that the move is being performed on the other side, while inverted could mean that it's being performed while one of the wrestlers was upside-down or vice-versa depending how the move is usually performed. Now, in the context of the movie and that particular move. It kinda could work...well, sorta LOL. Picture this, one guy looks like he's about to give his opponent a reverse piledriver but when he lifts him and he's fully upside down with his feet in the air, instead of finishing the move he would then put his opponent in a reverse full nelson. . Yeah, it'd be a pretty odd-looking move but and not something I think any wrestler would actually use, but it could be pulled off. Something weirder a "reversed reverse full-nelson" still wouldn't be just a regular full-nelson. It'd just be one guy reversing his opponents reversed full-nelson, if that makes any sense lol.
0:00 wow look how far Jacob Fatu has come now he’s a freaking beast in WWE and became so over with the fans through his talent and the “I LOVE YOU SOLO” phrase Im so happy for him
Maybe we’ll see a crossover between *The Calamari Wrestler* and *Russell Madness.* A wrestling squid versus a wrestling dog (and maybe we can add one of Black Bart’s bears from SuperBrawl).
Thomas Jenkins - Nah Meltzer just likes good pro wrestling with great storytelling rather than the lame Rusev/Lana/Lashley love triangle storyline or the crappy Corbin/Reigns dog food angle.
the flaw in this comparison is that when Gedo first attached himself to Okada everyone was super skeptical of Okada. Everyone thought Okada was a hair-brained scheme and a dud..it didn't take a long time but people had to warm up to him --listen to the crowd when he returns and confronts Tanahashi. Also, at that point in time Okada REALLY needed someone to do the talking for him.
@@princesstamika I'm just saying that it's weird that the booker makes himself the manager of someone he's about to book to win the title. Besides, I think people were probably pretty skeptical about a wrestling squid
Not a sequel exactly, but the writer/director of this also made Kabuto-O Beetle, a movie based on a character from Osaka Pro Wrestling, and a movie called Kaiju Mono that looks like it might be about giant pro wrestlers. He's got some pretty insane, goofy movies out there, and seems to love him sone wrasslin'. The only other movie of his I've seen personally though was Executive Koala, which is about a Koala man salary worker who may or may not have murdered his human girlfriend. It is pure madness.
The same director has a movie called Executive Koala about a Koala man office worker who may or may not have murdered his human girlfriend, and the insanity surrounding it. Japanese Ed Wood is actually a pretty good comparison, at least as far as the insanity in their body of work is involved.
When I woke up today, I didn't think I was gonna watch Brian Zane review a movie involving a Wrestling calamari and interspecies sex, but Quarantine does that to you.
Yeah I was thinking about getting a squid 🦑 lover too until I realised she was gonna bring no financial support to the relationship as she couldn’t get a job. She was offered a job at a sushi restaurant but turned it down when she found out they only wanted her on the menu
0:00 Oh look, it's the former longest-reigning MLW World Heavyweight Champion for 820 days and former MLW National Openweight Champion who had a 150-day reign. It's the former leader of Contra Unit in MLW, The Samoan Werewolf Jacob Fatu. WOW! I think he has been in WWE for at least 5 months and won the WWE Tag Team Champions with Tama Tonga.
I watched this movie for the first time with some friends who aren't even wrestling fans and we just couldn't stop laughing at all of the absurdity. God bless this movie and Japan.
I do not watch wrestling anymore since it has become terrible but I came across your videos during a TH-cam rabbit hole and you are super funny and your videos are great, keep up the good work!
So a mysterious man is responsible for the reincarnation of an old wrestler into a new weird version that is somehow both accepted and popular? This is just japanese PCO!
This is Chris Brookes' favourite Wrestling with Wregret video. Also, what is it with the 'heroes' in these type of wrestling movies refusing to do the job. Like, seriously, The Squid is just a mark for himself not wanting the babyface to go over.
It's funny how Hunter started off as a legitimately threatening villain that carefully chose the Eddie Guerrero story for Zane to cover in order to get the latter to quit making videos (and was almost successful at it, too) and then went on to just be a goofy troll with a hammer that keeps chucking bad stuff for Zane to watch.

Big show has Andre the giant, but The Calamari wrestler is descended from the legendary octodad
Going Off Topic to be honest I completely forgot about Octodad
Nobody suspects a thing! 🎶
And if the calamari has a child you could call him the Calamari Kid.
Octomom, remember her ?
Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, will ever be worse than Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy.
Ian Thompson not even The Chaperone
EDH this is pretty bad..... almost unwatchable

What about Ready to Rumble
Lmao “that fake, that was an open hand slap...” love that clip 😂😂

Brian in Japanese cinema a 6 foot tall squid walking down the street is a Tuesday.
or a real tuesday in some parts of tokyo.
Yeah last time I was in Kyoto I bumped into the Kraken, standard shit.
For you, the day calamari graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for him, it was Tuesday.

Tentacle hentai 😍
I've seen too much tentacle porn because my mind immediately went there when she met Squid Man.

It's a Japanese film, there's a tentacled creature alone with a young girl. You really need a warning about what was coming Zane?
NO HES TOO PURE HE CANT BE SHOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT
I feel like this could be turned into a Power Rangers episode, or a storyline for DDT Pro 😂
The Squilla Boxer certainly had the voice of a PR villain LOL
Or something from CHIKARA
He would have to win the heavy metal weight title for it to be in DDT
Power Rangers for sure. Especially if it was the samurai since the gold ranger was a traveling fisherman
This seems Exactly like the kind of Storyline that HUSTLE would've done
triple h never fails to make me smile even if it means he is giving zane some junk to watch
He'd probably take HHH over Shane McMahon.
It is pretty great "eh

That sounds awesome.
Calamari wrestler has just been signed to AEW.
wstine79 I hope this is joke..
CALAMARI IS ALL ELITE
And they'd call him the greatest thing ever even if he did a match with Joey Ryan and Orange Cassidy.
Even an invertebrate cephalopod has more tone and definition than Jelly Janela.

What do the calamari wrestler and RVD have in common?
They both enjoy being FRIED

"He lived with them, he trained them, he turned them into cephlapods, he made them wash his back"
Of course, since this is about a wrestling squid that everyone just treats like he's a normal dude, this movie also predicted Octodad's run in VGCW.
