Cherno Time!





















A Pacific Rim fight scene between the Kaiju Leatherback and the Jaeger Cherno Alpha (in my opinion the best jaeger in the movie).

For those who don't know:

The term Kaiju literally means "strange creature" in Japanese. However this word has been translated as"monster".

"Jaeger" is a term used for the first time in 1631 to indicate an elite infantry unit of professional hunters in the Hessian Army.

See You next time.

Super Strong Machine























(first of all: sorry for my English :) )

Super Strong Machine is a successful gimmick created by the Puroresu (japanese term for "professional wrestling") veteran Junji Hirata in the mid '80. With this character, Hirata competed in both of the major Japanese wrestling federations (New Japan Pro Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling) winning respectively the IWGP Tag Team Championship (three times) and the AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship (one time).
Nowadays Super Strong Machine is part of the Blue Justice Army (known as "Seigigun" in Japan), a New Japan Pro Wrestling stable led by Yuji Nagata.

"Why a wrestler in this blog?"

Good question.
The main reason for this choice is because I am a big fan of Pro Wrestling in general, but the thing that I like to point out in this post is the fact that, in my humble opinion, comics (especially superheroes comics) and Pro Wrestling (or Sport Entertainment) occasionally connect to each other, and I think that Super Strong Machine is a perfect example.


See you next time.








Se siete arrivati fino a qui, avrete certamente capito che la piccola novità Nuova del Blog sono i post in Inglese.

"Tutto qui?"

Ehi, ve l'avevo detto che era una piccola novità no?

Comunque sia, da oggi in poi, l'inglese sarà la lingua predominante nei post (i quali non saranno tutti lunghi come questo), ma non temete, almeno una cosa in italiano la continuerò a scrivere.

Come cosa?

Non è ovvio?



Alla prossima.
