I want to start watching puroresu, but where exactly do I start?

"Why are you asking in a subreddit about that topic? I'd think you'd already know, right?"; lately, clips from this subreddit have been popping up on my homepage, and I have been checking out Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 for the Nintendo 64. The "Puroresu era" the game is based on has really caught my attention; characters like Giant Baba, Kobashi Kenta, the fake “Hayabusa"/Hayate and so on. I wanted to know how to get started watching this era that the game is based on; is it like a “series” or something like that? When does it start, when does it end, and when should I stop watching, where do I watch the """series"""? I would really appreciate your help. I should point out that I do not know much about 'watching' wrestling or Lucha Libre; even though I know a few names and facts from both worlds, this puroresu thing is practically new to me.

While experimenting with "Google search bar commands" to find very specific things without junk results getting in the way, I searched for the AKI-Man we all know, and discovered that there is a coffee shop called "AKI MAN" (lol) and an old website with PNG images of rare WWF No Mercy CAWs.

Is it possible to add "advanced"/new features from VPW 2 to No Mercy, such as mask creation?

I feel like No Mercy could really benefit from options that allow for more complete CAW customization and creation.

Is there any difference—aside from the method—between a running attack in which you use the ropes to propel yourself and one in which you run normally?

It deals more or less damage, or is there no difference at all?

(WCW/nWo Revenge) I managed to make it so the CPU technically scores zero on hard. I did not know the maximum life bonus was 2530.

How can I artificially replicate the pitch and quality of the WWF No Mercy wrestlers' theme songs using my phone?

I want to do a few things, and I was wondering how I could artificially replicate the pitch and quality. I suppose a Hz manipulator would work to replicate the quality, but how do I replicate the pitch?
