TAKA Michinoku vs Pantera - 02/15/98

-

TAKA Michinoku vs Pantera (WWF): A rare WWF match here on Dream Battles. But it's here because this is an awesome cruiserweight (light heavyweight?) match between two international greats. This all kinds of spectacular moves PLUS they get time to work a story. The announcing is pretty awful and distracting (and I loved JR & the King) so mute it. Anyhow, this is one you will definitely enjoy the heck out of 😁

All Japan Women's Wrestling - 1999

I'm trying to work through my DVDs still! Most/all of these are from AJW Athena TV episodes. I think someone compiled the best of a bunch of episodes. These are a sort of consultation prize on my AJW 09/21/97 DVD that cuts off the end of the famous cage match. Zap I is Kaoru Ito and Zap T is Tomoko Watanabe for reference. 02/16/99 ZAP I & T vs. Kumiko Maekawa & Kayo Noumi - This is how you do a studio TV match! Fast, violent and entertaining! The ZAPs are on the warpath. Maekawa can put up a fight but Kayo is a lamb for the slaughter. Kumiko tries her best but Ito & Tomoko are their normal high impact selves plus with weapons too! This was great! LCO are in the stands & mix it up with them afterwards. Yay! Zenjo vs. Neo SCRAMBLE BOUTS 5 X 5: Manami Toyota & Momoe Nakanishi & Nanae Takahashi & Miyuki Fujii & ZAP Isozaki vs. Kyoko Inoue & Chaparrita ASARI & Misae Genki & Saya Endo & Yuka Nakamura - This was great!!! Takes a minute to ...

New Japan 1990: Liger, Sasaki & Kobayashi vs Benoit, Machine & Goto

Jushin Liger, Kensuke Sasaki & Kuniaki Kobayashi vs Pegasus Kid, Super Strong Machine & Tatsutoshi Goto (08/16):  Oh man, I wish we got the full thing! This was an excellent mix of wrestlers. It was as good in the ring as it was on paper. Additionally the "junior" wrestlers were treated as equals to the heavies. Stuff like this is why I am so interested in this period of NJPW!

New Japan 1990: Muto & Chono vs Hashimoto & Sasaki

-

Keiji Muto &  Masa Chono vs Shinya Hashimoto & Kensuke Sasaki (06/18):  16 minutes of action! Chono & Sasaki were flying out the gate! Muto & Hashimoto slowed it down for a moment. Then this kept going at a steady pace until the finish. Chono had an awesome segment with Hashimoto involving the STF. Honestly everyone was excellent here. This was a very good tag match with four soon to be super stars. More 1990 New Japan to come. Stay tuned folks! 👇👇👇Click the labels for more matches you'd like to see!

New Japan 1990: Chono & Muto vs Wild Samoan & Yokozuna

-

Masa Chono & Keiji Muto vs Wild Samoan & Great Kokena (Yokozuna) (07/19):  Very good to great heel/face tag match. This had excellent pacing, teases and payoffs. It is probably pretty close to an American style tag match but that doesn't diminish this at all. 1990 is that time where I feel the U.S., Japan & Mexico were on the same level of athleticism and quality of work especially with younger talent.

TAJIRI You Might Have Missed #3

-

 Greetings and salutations wrestling fans! More Yoshihiro Tajiri for your entertainment! Tajiri vs Minoru Tanaka (BattlARTS 01/20/98) We get 12 of 15 minutes. Damn, this is a cool ass match! Blue gear Tajiri might be my favorite era of his. He & Minoru are doing great submissions, pin attempts, kicks & suplexes. They are evenly matched and just doing everything! A great match and a peek into what Tajiri could have been like if he stayed in Japan. Tajiri vs Antifaz del Norte (ECW Dec. 1998) - Their debut match. It's mainly highlights from Hardcore TV. Tajiri was already doing his Tarantula move!? I didn't think that started until right before he started wearing the long pants & spitting the mist. Tajiri vs El Mosco, Taz (ECW 06/24/99) - Hartford, CT fan cam. It's a fun segment with El Moscow where he's given time to shine but is quickly dispatched by Tajiri, who's moving up in the ranks. His win impresses Taz who comes out from the back & gives the ...
