Awesome August: Jumbo & Baba vs Mil Mascaras & Dos Caras

-

Jumbo Tsuruta & Giant Baba vs Mil Mascaras & Dos Caras (AJPW 08/24/78 - 08/25 TV): 2 out of three falls. First fall is longer, technical and exciting. Jumbo & Dos Caras are featured most. Second fall is quicker with Baba getting chippy and Mil responding. Big moves from the masked brothers. Third fall is even quicker and we get the conclusion. This was such an easy match to enjoy. Exciting, technically oriented wrestling done in the NWA style. Big Recommendation!

Cruising the 80's: Fuchi & Tiger Mask vs Hiro Saito & Shunji Takano - 09/20/86

Masa Fuchi & Tiger Mask vs Hiro Saito & Shunji Takano (AJPW) : Fun stuff! Shunji's German suplex looks a lot like Takayama's because of his height. That was sick! Enjoyed Fuchi punch Saito in the head from the mount position. He look crazed. Tiger Misawa is really in his element here. He definitely seems to be gaining confidence as a leader. 👇👇👇 Click for more good stuff 👍 Thanks for reading!

AJPW - 1986 - Jan. & Feb. - Tiger Mask, Tenryu, Choshu, Mil & more

I'm trucking along through my All Japan DVD sets. For reference, these are Samurai Classics episodes. I have the first six months of 1986. It's nowhere complete. In fact, they don't show Riki Choshu. So, I did go online for any/all of those. After my DVDs are done, I'm going to wing it with stuff I find online. I'm pretty sure most of this is up on the 'tube. OK enough rambling! You're here to find out about some old school AJPW! Tiger Mask vs Mil Mascaras (01/02) - Good on paper but bad in reality. That badness is due to Mil. If Misawa had a tell-all book, he would have a story about this match. It reminded me of Mick Foley's recounting of his match with Mil. No it's not the worst thing but it ambles, Mil doesn't seem to know what's up, and he couldn't care less. Jumbo Tsuruta & Samson Fuyuki vs Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda (01/11) - These four guys in '86? Yes please. This is a really fun all action match. Nothing fancy or...

Cruising the 80's: Riki Choshu vs Tenryu - 09/03/86

Riki Choshu vs Genichiro Tenryu (AJPW) : I watched this a long time ago. I read my old review and I think I appreciate it more now. Its a very good to great match. They did a lot of great fighting here. Tenryu switched his offense up using older maneuvers to re-injure Choshu's ribs. Choshu was tough and pulled out a couple moves that were pretty cool. One that I felt was a decade ahead of its time. Personally, Tenryu seemed to have a better performance but Riki interestingly seemed to be doing better character work. That plays into the finish as well. 👇👇👇 Click on the labels below or check out the popular posts for more wrestling reviews and pics 🙂

April Anarchy: Devil Masami vs Chigusa Nagayo - 04/15/87

Devil Masami vs Chigusa Nagayo (AJW) : This was a great match with high energy & high intensity. It begins with a technical orientation but escalates into a power battle as Devil takes over. This Crush Gal won't quit and rattles Devil with great suplexes and pinning holds. Masami gets frustrated and brings out the weapons and introduces a bit of anarchy into this April match. At under 15 minutes, I give this a Strong RECOMMENDATION as two of the best ever go at it. 👇👇👇Check out the labels below for more. Also look for more April Anarchy matches to come!
