12/13/79 '79 World's Strongest Tag Decision League Match: Abdullah The Butcher & The Sheik vs. Terry & Dory Funk Jr. 17:15. Corny bloodbath that's more like a Z grade horror movie with almost no actual wrestling, but the fans are going nuts the whole time. Terry just hams it up with all his spastic overselling then Dory finally tags in & manages to suplex Abby, which is about where the holds begin & end. Abdullah has to find a way to carry his team since Sheik is 53, so he does what he always does, bleeds from the 1st or 2nd punch to the head, and from here it's just carnage with Terry focusing on enlarging Abby's cut while Sheik busts Dory open. Everyone eventually bleeds because what else are they capable of doing together, but none of this leads to anything that resembles a wrestling move or match, with the ref constantly managing to not see the foreign objects that are responsible for all the offense. I don't know that this is any worse than any other Abby & Sheik match, but I'd literally rather watch any match in the history of FMW or IWA Japan than this DUD.

12/11/80 '80 World's Strongest Tag Decision League Match: Terry & Dory Funk Jr. vs. Jumbo Tsuruta & Giant Baba 43:50. These teams had 45:00 draws in the previous 3 tag leagues, but with Baba & Jumbo coming in a point behind the Funks, that really put the pressure on the natives to finally break through & even things at 2 tag leagues a piece rather than finish tie for 2nd with Abdullah & Kamata & allow the Texans to capture their third league. Only Baba seemed to feel that urgency early on & was interested in taking things to the next level when he came in. However, while Baba tried to pick things up with his signature highspots, the others still more or less stuck to their body work, delivering an unspectacular technical match where the Funks worked on Jumbo's knee & Baba's team worked on Terry's back. The quality was good from the outset, and it was a consistent but never particularly dynamic until they shifted to the stretch run about 27 minutes in when Jumbo came in & stomped Terry's head to break up the rolling cradle, then just kept putting the boots to him until Dory came in swinging. Jumbo was quite good during this final portion, but overall, the disappointment of the match is his greatness wasn't on display before that. He didn't or couldn't prod the Funks into doing anything that would instill any urgency or changes of pace into the match before the action finally got hot. Part of the problem may just have been that, even though Jumbo was well established by this point as the #2 star in the company, the style was basically Baba's when he was in & Dory's when Baba wasn't, so Jumbo never seemed to make even portions of the match his own despite logging the most ring time. Baba finally hit his big boot on Dory & told Jumbo to ascend to the top for his flying knee drop, which he gladly still delivered despite Terry diving on top of his brother before Jumbo lept. Terry taking the brunt of the impact apparently allowed Dory to come right back with his backdrop, but he lost the advantage going to the floor to check of Terry's health. The stretch run was shaping up to contain all the intensity & action you wanted to occur 20 minutes earlier when Baba managed to win without even knowing he won despite booking this nonsense. I'm not honestly sure why Jumbo wasn't counted out as he hit the floor first with Terry knocking him through the ropes with his headbutt then following him out. Both made it back to the apron, with Baba shoulderblocking Terry off then going back to fighting Dory, but Jumbo then fell off the apron without actually reentering. However, Joe Higuchi just completely ignored Jumbo & finished the count on Terry. To make things more muddled, you can't really tell he counted Terry out as Joe goes back in the ring & deals with Dory & Baba then eventually raises the hand of Jumbo, who finally reentered, and Baba just has this great befuddled look as he looks around trying to figure out what the hell happened. Needless to say this finish was super anticlimactic, and actually way worse than just another draw because at least you know what a draw is without having to rewind to figure out what happened. I want to say this match would have benefitted from being 2/3 falls, but the whole gimmick was neither team could even win one. The finishing sequence is what would essentially have been the 3rd fall, give or take, but what I mean though is they just needed something to prod them into some tempo changes earlier on. As it was, it was fine except for the finish, but as the final match of the tournament & the "payoff" to a rivalry that had been so equal, it just seemed like a nice match that managed to inconclusively keep everyone & everything exactly as before. ***1/4

IWA World Heavyweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match, Japan Representative Showdown: Rusher Kimura vs. Great Kusatsu

Cage Death Match: Billy Robinson & Mighty Inoue vs. Rene Goulet & Sailor White 4+ min shown. Something of a brawl, but Robinson still wrestles despite it being a cage match, throwing his usual suplexes.

6/3/74 Korakuen Hall, 2/3 Falls IWA World Heavyweight Title Decision Match: Rusher Kimura vs. Billy Robinson 11+ min shown. Robinson worked miracles here to make this an entertaining match. Kimura isn't athletic & is a really awkward mover who has no idea how to strike properly (he doesn't use his core he just twists at the waist), but as long as he gave Robinson a body part, he was able to twist him in pretzles. They seemingly kept the pace up, & Robinson did his running spots & throws (including the belly to belly to the floor) and took big bumps to mask Rusher as much as possible. It still wasn't good most of the time when Rusher was on offense because, well, one can only do so much to make something that's not well done look less not well done, but overall it appeared to be a success.

11/20/74 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan, 2/3 Falls AWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Verne Gagne vs. Billy Robinson 35:44 [20:48, 5:21, 9:35]. Intense, riveting, first rate no frills title match from two of the best in the world. There's a different dynamic here than in Robinson's later Japan matches because it's much more Gagne's style, & Gagne is often leading & even the one who is inciting the opponent to build the tensions, starting early with petty torments such as putting his hand on Robinson's head. Robinson is still very obviously the better of the two, but it's the match Gagne has been working for two decades with some updates as time goes by rather than the futuristic match Robinson would become known for that had quicker counters & a lot more tumbling. It's a better worked technical match than Robinson vs. Inoki from a classic perspective, & certainly the difference between even an old Verne and a prime Inoki is night & day, but the Inoki match is a lot more modern & certainly more believable from a 21st century perspective because the technical style there is primitive wannabe MMA whereas this relies mainly on all those silly pro wrestling one point of control locks such as the headlock, bear hug, and no body control sleeper that never had any real world application. Robinson dominated the opening fall by getting off first, particularly when it came to immediately attacking the arm when they locked up, clubbing it with a punch or spinning into a hammerlock. Gagne grew increasingly testy, and tried to taunt Robinson into mixing it up through cheap shots while they are moving, little slaps, eye gouges, and paws until Robinson lost his cool enough to get caught off guard by a shoulderblock that briefly turned the tide. Gagne just wasn't hanging with Robinson in the slow technical exchanges though, and couldn't initiate more than the momentary running exchange, but nonetheless managed to win the 1st fall out of nowhere when he ducked behind & took Robinson out with his sleeper. The 2nd was a more active fall for Robinson that featured more of his bumping. Robinson hadn't come close to recovering when the 2nd fall started, and nearly got sleepered right off the bat, but dove for dear life to the safety of the ropes. Gagne's path to victory was even clearer than usual though, and he was always ready to pounce on the sleeper anytime Robinson left an opening, for instance when Robinson got up slowly after missing a dropkick. However, this was obvious to Robinson too, and in an excellent story finish, he was ready next time, turning the sleeper attempt into his backbreaker to take the 2nd fall. As is often the case with Robinson's 3 fall matches, the finish of a fall winds up defining at least the beginning of the next fall. Thus, Robinson was now in control focusing on the back he injured with the backbreaker, pushing to get a quick victory with the bear hug and hitting another backbreaker that would have finished Gagne if Verne wasn't so close to the ropes. Gagne continued to withstand back submissions, and even a backbreaker in the center of the ring that should have been the finish. You felt this was going to have an amazing climax, wondering whether Gagne was going to be really oportunistic or if Robinson would plug away on the back until it busted, but since it's the '70's you should know better, and instead they did a cheesy double KO off a shoulderblock. Ugh. What an unfitting climax to such a scintilating match. ****

11/21/74 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan, 2/3 Falls IWA & AWA World Heavyweight Double Title Match: Verne Gagne (AWA champ) vs. Mighty Inoue (IWA champ) about 7 1/2 min shown. Now in his late 40's, Gagne is the heel trying to slow things down and find the opening for his sleeper going. It's now the opposition who is the athletic babyface that wants to push the pace and seems (in this highly clipped form) to only score with aerial moves. Inoue even takes Gagne out with his rolling senton in the 2nd fall. Gagne still throws a nice dropkick, but in this form, it plays like the established junior against the up and coming junior, with Gagne allowing his fiery young athletic opponent to shine by providing the vast majority of the flashy highspots. Good stuff before the requisite double ring out.

10/9/86 Martial Arts Match: Akira Maeda vs. Don Nakaya Nielsen R5 2:16. Complete. This classic contest did a ton for Maeda, proving his ability in a shoot that blew Inoki's "shoot" out of the water on a show that drew an amazing 28.9 prime time rating. Nielsen was at a decided disadvantage here in that he was both trying not to win because he wasn't allowed to knock Maeda out, as well as, of course, trying not to lose, while Maeda presumably had free reign to do anything he wanted to win. Though this match is in the gray area due to promoters shenanigans, as so many matches that are considered to be completely legitimate really are (and lets not even talk about gambling...), they definitely were not faking what they were actually doing, so define it however you like. The important thing is it's an awesome match with an amazing atmosphere. Maeda was incredibly over, and this had a ton of heat, with Nielsen doing a great job of playing charismatic heel in an arrogant, annoyingly overly self confident huge presence kind of manner. The intensity and ill will were off the charts, really taking things to the next level. Nielsen was so much quicker, more athletic, and flexible than when I'm used to seeing him 3 or 4 years later, at this point he's much a lighter, and really has the speed to pull off some of these flashy movie kicks that he was trying. The problem for Nielsen was not so much that Maeda would punish him for his flashiness through return fire, but for instance, Nielsen has never been in a situation before where the opponent catches a high kick and drops down into a kneebar. Nielsen can do things that Maeda never sees in pro wrestling bout, for instance, one of his best techniques was kicking the body then following with a quick left straight to the face, which Maeda was never ready for, so conditioned to the pro wrestling world where even the "best" strikers are notorious for never using any actual striking combos unless it's the same exact sequence in every match. The match was super exciting, largely because any mistake seemed crucial, with Nielsen, for instance, diving for the ropes with life or death urgency anytime it hit the mat. Nielsen had no real submission training/defense, so Maeda was almost immediately able to threaten with a variety of submissions anytime it hit the canvas. Maeda went all out to pounce on every opportunity to submit Nielsen, which in some sense annoyed the hell out of me because the thing that ruins his normal matches is that he just durdles around with no urgency on the mat, mostly just killing time. Mixed matches in New Japan have traditionally been horrible, so seeing something so competitive and exciting with this level of heat, drama, intensity, and excitement was more or less a revelation. I mean, sure Inoki vs. Willie Williams existed, but that was more great for Williams being an amazing athlete who was able to throw incredible karate at Inoki than for anything Inoki could must or the actual back & forth. Nielsen's performance was perhaps not as good as Williams, but definitely among the best for a name from another sport coming into pro wrestling, and Maeda was definitely much better than Inoki, able to somewhat hold his own in standup, as well as find ways to get the fight to the mat, rather than just trying to squirm around on his butt to avoid the areas where he was at a disadvantage, and thus the fight in the process. This match had an amazing aura, but the actual action was also able to stand up on its own. There were a couple moments that particularly stood out, the round ending while Maeda had Neilson trapped in a wakigatame, and the finish because of Nielson's dramatic pained expression. I am not certain I buy that the finish wasn't pre-determined. On one hand, Nielsen did expend a ton of energy trying to kick his way out of the kneebar (rather than just get to the ropes as he had been doing all night), on the other hand, once Maeda switched to the half crab, Nielsen basically just gave up despite being incredibly close to the ropes (and now being in a far less dangerous hold). ****1/2

NJPW The Great Muta Complete DVD Box Set
-11hr 40min. Q=Perfect. 5 DVDs

Disc 1 Birth of Muta

9/14/90 Hiroshima Sun Plaza: Great Muta vs. Hiroshi Hase. Although it was a technically excellent match with with virtually perfect execution and great flow with so many counter holds, it's mainly memorable for Hase bleeding buckets and really milking the blood loss for all it was worth when he was selling. If it wasn't for the crappy American finish, this might have been a gret match. ***3/4

9/30/90 Kanagawa Yokohama Arena: Great Muta vs. Ricky Steamboat. This should have been a lot better, but their styles didn't mesh well. Good technically due to Steamboat, but kinda dull. Outside of Muta working over Steamboat's "injured knee," there wasn't a lot of direction. **1/4

3/21/91 Tokyo Dome: Great Muta vs. Sting. Muta's entrance was awesome, but they had better matches in the US. Muta looked really good on offense and made the match, but it dragged when Sting was on offense. The length would suggest a sprint, which could have been a good thing considering Sting was involved, but instead they did too many rest holds. **1/2

7/19/91 Hokkaido Sapporo Nakajima Taiiku Center: Great Muta & TNT vs. Kensuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Hase. Muta was more heelish here, resulting in Hase doing another huge blade job. The match was only good when Hase was in, although that is a little unfair because Muta mainly worked with Hase. **

8/25/91: Great Muta vs. Super Strong Machine. These guys could have had a damn good match, but Muta was in slow and deliberate mode and there wasn't much of note here aside from Muta ripping Machine's mask off for the DQ. *1/4

9/23/91 Kanagawa Yokohama Arena: Great Muta vs. Tatsumi Fujinami. Muta mainly brawled, dominating Fujinami and making him bleed. Fujinami gave a good performance, resulting in this being better than the typical Muta match. ***

1/4/92 Tokyo Dome: Great Muta & Sting vs. Steiner Brothers. Another awesome Muta ring entrance. Short match, but fast-paced and exciting Steiner style spotfest. All the big moves. ***3/4

Disc 2 Muta vs. Monster

9/23/92 Kanagawa Yokohama Arena IWGP Heavyweight & Greatest 18 Club Double Title Match: The Great Muta vs. Shinya Hashimoto. Stiff match, but slow-paced and deliberate. Muta did too much of his heel routine, and really didn't do much to put Hashimoto over. Hashimoto wasn't that great at this time, but I still expected a lot better than this.

12/14/92 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan: Great Muta vs. Hiroshi Hase. The thing that made this special was that the backbone of the match was stuff not commonly done in NJ rings, and even though it wasn't their standard fair, they did it so well. The match was simplistic, but what they did was done right and done in a way that made it meaningful and effective. Hase played heel here, and was able to pull it off because he was so aggressive and went all out to try to score the upset over his rival. The thing that stood out the most was that Muta did one of the sickest blade jobs ever, which got over the story of the match and was key toward Hase getting over as a heel. ****1/2

1/4/93 Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavykyu & NWA World Heavyweight Double Title Match: Great Muta vs. Masa Chono. This should have been an excellent match, but failed to reach that level because they didn't take the time to figure out why they were doing things. This was vintage Muta, mailing it in for a useless first half then turning it on for an excellent second half. The first half was wasted because they didn't really do anything to advance the match. The second half was really good with a lot of big moves, although only the moonsault and STF really had any meaning. Overall, this was toned down some spot wise and they didn't try to do anything to compensate, but they were still talented and healthy enough that they had a very good match anyway. ***1/2

5/3/93 Fukuoka Dome: Great Muta vs. Hulk Hogan. Hogan worked a lot harder than normal, but still wasn't good. Muta worked a lot harder than usual to make it passable. He looked good in points, but they both stalled too much. Typical ridiculous Hogan finish. *1/2

9/23/93 Kanagawa Yokohama Arena: Hulk Hogan & Great Muta vs. Hellraisers. You know you are in trouble when Muta is by far the best of the bunch. A bunch of rest holds. Hogan vs. Hawk was particularly awful. 3/4*

4/4/94 Hiroshima Green Arena, IWGP Heavyweight Title Match: Shinya Hashimoto vs. Tatsumi Fujinami 14:55. Simple, entertaining, and effective match where the more physically imposing Hashimoto dominates, but winds up losing nonetheless via flash pin. There's not a lot to it, but Hashimoto is so nasty with his kicks, and Fujinami should be commended for agreeing to take such a brutal beating. Fujinami starts off playing ball control, but gets sucked into a slugfest, exploding with slaps after Hashimoto double crosses his offer to lock up, instead blasting him with a series of leg kicks. Hashimoto avoids a dropkick though, and pretty much has his way with Fujinami the rest of the match after repeatedly punting Fujinami when he's down & throwing Tiger Hattori down twice so he could continue to put the boots to Fujinami when he's in the ropes. Hashimoto was just mauling poor Fujinami, but Fujinami hung on through countering & evading, taking over momentarily with his Dragon sleeper when Hashimoto missed a wheel kick in the corner. Hashimoto wasn't slowed & just continued to blast Fujinami with kicks whether or not they were legal until Hattori reestablished order after being tossed aside again, leaping on Hashimoto's back & pushing him away then kicking Hiroshi Hase off the apron. Hattori assured Fujinami had waaaaay too much time to recover from each knocked down for the rest of the match. It wasn't a particularly competitive or dramatic. It all seemed academic & just a matter of time until a contrived finish where Fujinami somehow turned a wheel kick into a ground cobra twist for the upset win. ***1/4

5/1/94 IWGP Heavyweight Title Match: Shinya Hashimoto vs. Tatsumi Fujinami 6:04. Hashimoto just runs through Fujinami this time to regain his title. It's long enough for Hashimoto to get his nose bleed despite Fujinami not really doing anything, but that's about it. Fujinami may still be recovering from their last match, as Hashimoto is noticably avoiding delivering the same level of impact to the neck.

10/9/00 Tokyo Dome: Shinya Hashimoto vs. Tatsumi Fujinami 14:18. They again updated the fued to make it more shoot oriented. This was about far as they could take it in that direction given Fujinami's technical wrestling is so based in pro style, but both men had more credible entries here. One of the problems was Fujinami was getting too old to want to take the requisite brutal beating from Hashimoto, so they had to pick their spots for the brutal kicks, & adjust the match to make it more mat based. Neither are very active on the mat though, and especially at a dome show where hardcore technical fans aren't the norm, things were kind of dead compared to their previous encounters. The win helped reestablish Hashimoto some from his senseless losses to Naoya Ogawa, but probably wasn't exciting too many people about Hashimoto or Fujinami. **

G1 CLIMAX B Block: Yuji Nagata [2] vs. Yutaka Yoshie [0] 12:51. Yoshie started out slow, getting sucked into Nagata's match, but he came on big in the second half. I wasn't too impressed with Yoshie kicking out of an avalanche style exploder at 1, but they were able to make it seem like Yoshie pushed Nagata, and the crowd definitely got behind him. Yoshie, of course, has no athleticism and didn't look particular good, basically just able to stand around throwing backhand blows and toss in a few suplexes. Nagata did a good job of working around him, and it was always competent, if nothing special. **

G1 CLIMAX A Block: Manabu Nakanishi [2] vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi [0] 14:04

G1 CLIMAX A Block: Masahiro Chono [2] vs. Osamu Nishimura [0] 24:08. Chono doesn't get much more disappointing than this. I mean, sure it's been years since I expected him to deliver more than a handful of times per year, and a midcard match on the 1st G1 show would never be one of them, but considering he's against a master technician who will work hard and is only doing technical wrestling and brawling/striking, I at least expected a more competent performance. Chono just lumbered around seeming hardly able to bend at the waist. Nishimura showed up, of course, and certainly had his moments, but there was only so much he could do as Chono didn't really want to counter him on the mat, and hardly seemed to have the flexibility to be capable of doing so. Nishimura did a fairly good, although not nearly his most consistent, job of working Chono's left knee, including a diving kneedrop when Chono was on one knee. After nearly 25 minutes, they went home in the most unconvincing fashion with Chono clumsily turning Nishimura's spinning toe hold into a small package. *1/2

G1 CLIMAX B Block: Yoshihiro Takayama [2] vs. Yuji Nagata [2] 14:05. The effort was mostly there and they delivered some brutal shots, but the match was really inconsistent, even from an intensity standpoint. Nothing looks smooth with Takayama, and he's just so awkward it's hard to feel like the match has any sense of rhythm or flow. Nagata's technique was impressive as always, but Takayama was all over the place. His arm strikes and knees were generally good, but it's like it's too much effort for him to lift his leg and torque his hip for a kick, so they're either slow and/or off target. The funniest part was this guillotine choke Takayama was supposed to be doing, except he never had control of Nagata's neck once he dropped to the mat. They had a short but exceptionally nasty exchange just before the finish, and I think this is where Takayama's eye was cut hardway. The upper lid was already swollen pretty badly during the post match interview. **

G1 Climax B Block: Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Koji Kanemoto 16:55 Complete. Quality match, but nowhere near what they could have done had Koji been considered an equal. Tenzan mauled Kanemoto for much of the first half, getting the fans behind Kanemoto whenever he actually did something. Kanemoto finally had a big run picking on Tenzan's knee after avoiding Tenzan's moonsault. Tenzan's bum knee was something of an equalizer, setting up a big spot where Kanemoto turned the TTD into a kneebar. If there was some back and forth after Tenzan's comeback it might have been memorable, but Kanemoto fell with swift and disappointing ease. ***

It wasn't just a bunch of chop exchanges, but rather a generally rough match with Kensuke really upping the impact on his lariats. They were literally butting heads back and forth. Got off to a hot start, giving gave no indication it was going to be anything beyond a standard length match, if anything looking like it might be shorter. ***3/4

G1 Climax A Block: Genichiro Tenryu vs. Shinsuke Nakamura 14:43. Complete. A league where you are expected to wrestle a tough singles match every night is really rough on everyone, much less a 54-year-old body. Tenryu was looking his age here, or at least rather awkward. He was in preservation mode early, so they were biding their time. The match got interesting when Nakamura finally went on offense about halfway through, and Tenryu's body began to loosen up here. I wouldn't say he ever found his rhythm, but it became an acceptable match, albeit one that had no business coming on after Tenzan and Sasaki went all out for half an hour. *3/4

Sasai did cater to Kanemoto's more offense oriented style, and they did try to make it intense in the second half. It was no classic, but certainly worthwhile. The early portion was striking and submissions, competent but kind of slow. The match picked up with Sasaki matching Kanemoto's pescado and lariating him over the guard rail. From here it was quite good as Sasaki took Kanemoto serious enough to have a good match. Again, Kanemoto went down easily though, so there wasn't any drama to the stretch run. ***

G1 Climax A Block: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Yuji Nagata 13:08 Complete. Command performance by Nagata, who was at the very top of his game and in total control, carrying Nakamura through a smart and entertaining shoot style match. They did a great job of establishing the danger of the kicks from the outset, making the hits and misses important. As the match progressed, Nagata was really unloading on Nakamura with heavy and precise kicks. Nakamura was tough, but Nagata's kicks were consistently overwhelming him to the point he couldn't win an exchange. Nagata really should have won this match, as he was just on another level entirely, but as Nakamura was only slowing Nagata down by countering, the right finish would have been countering into a submission. I found the finish enfuriating because Nakamura inexplicably introduced flying into what had not only been a true U-style match, but one of the best shoot oriented matches in the history of the G1. To make things worse, he had balance issues, and you just felt really bad for Nagata, having to wait way too long to suddenly lose to offense that had no place in this particular match. ***1/2

G1 Climax B Block: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kensuke Sasaki 12:00 Complete. Enthusiastic sprint with bombs from start to finish. Sasaki was brutal, but was also at his most daring in this wild spotfest, throwing in every flying and power move he could think of in addition to his usual brutality. I can't remember Sasaki ever doing two dives in the first five minutes before. Sasaki just got off to a huge start, with Tanahashi finally slowing him down by using his own Northern Lights bomb on him. Still, Tanahashi couldn't take over. He'd counter once in a while, but merely got enough offense to keep the fans reacting big. Sasaki had a good thing going, trapping Tanahashi in the corner with a chop/lariat combo. I don't know why he didn't keep this as part of his arsenal, as it was fluid as well as devestating. Sasaki was a little sloppy and always lacks something in the grace department, but this was one of his most thrilling matches, and a great effort from both men. The finish suited the match with Tanahashi winning the only way he could, with a single counter that was consistent with his offensive capability throughout the match. Tanahashi took everything Sasaki had and survived, taking B Block with a 6-1 record in the process. ****

G1 Climax Round 2: Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Shinsuke Nakamura 13:06 Complete. Nakamura was in rough shape coming into the match, and Tenzan was in bully mode, following where his old mentor Chono left off. Tenzan immediately reopened his forehead with repeated headbutts then shifted his focus to the bum knee. Nakamura was systematically destroyed, rarely able to do anything beyond absorb punishment and kick out. As the match progressed though, it was Tenzan who was getting frustrated because Nakamura exceeded the amount of punishment a Tenzan opponent should be able to withstand. The fans believed in Nakamura, and went nuts anytime Nakamura gave them hope, but there was no payoff as this time Tenzan was ready for the armbar counter to his anaconda vice (3/28/04 finish) and never relented in his onslaught. It was a good match, but Tenzan's offense has been better and it's more exciting when his opponent brings more than heart. ***

After holding off Nakamura & Shibata, Tenzan had just one more potential new generation ace to dispatch of to capture his forth tournament in a year, once again proving this was his time. Tanahashi was much healthier than Nakamura, and thus much more competitive. He was able to exchange with Tenzan and hold his half of the offense early on, but as time progressed his much bigger and stronger opponent beat him down. Tanahashi was extremely animated throughout, really fired up and a bit too emphatic and showy with some of his mannerisms. He was also a few holds short, especially considering his size disadvantage, but he took some nice bumps and showed enough charisma and ability to make you feel he was worthy of this final. Neither wrestler was anywhere's near awesome, but it was a quality match throughout, aided by a very receptive crowd. Tenzan became to second wrestler to win back to back G1 Climaxes, following Chono who took the first two in '91 & '92. ***

G1 Climax B Block: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Toru Yano 30:00. Tanahashi did a nice job of carrying Yano to a good, solid 80's style technical match. Certainly nothing fancy, but very well done as they put the time and effort into executing as precisely as they were capable of and working the holds. Yano began to show his rudo style after the 10 minute mark, taking Tanahashi to the floor and using every object he could find. Tanahashi's left hand was reinjured in the process, so Yano began working it over with his stomps as well as various submission/leverage holds. The indifferent crowd hurt the match, as spots that should have garnered some serious reaction such as Yano taping Tanahashi's hand to the top rope and attacking it with an umbrella were greeted with near silence. As the inexperienced Yano lacked the offense to take the match to the next level, they had to settle for basic but effective, having Tanahashi injure his hip hitting his rolling senton off the apron to give Yano another point of attack. This worked out okay, but it wasn't a good idea to wait until the 25 minute mark to really try any near finishes, as by then there was a 90% chance it was going the distance. That said, the crowd did wake up at this point, and the final five minutes were pretty hot. ***

G1 Climax A Block: Masahiro Chono vs. Yuji Nagata 17:02. Credit to Chono for doing an intense and brutal match in Nagata's style that saw him on the receiving end of the majority of the malevolence. The impact of the strikes, particularly from Nagata, showed they meant business, and they were able to produce the stiffness and aura the Kawada vs. Tenzan main event, which absolutely should have blown them away, surprisingly lacked. Nagata did most of the work, but Chono showed more than his famous intelligence and timing here. It was a strong technical match, actually reminiscent of the long gone but not forgotten white Chono, minus the annoying stalling. The finish completely out of nowhere hurt the overall quality of the match as it lacked anything approaching a finishing segment, but the flash pin was at least a credible way for Chono to win in a style he was overwhelmed in that didn't steal something from Nagata's credibility or aura. ***1/2

G1 Climax A Block: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan 19:08. Nowhere near the level of their 6/8/01 or 12/5/04 matches. They slugged it out, but that was all they did. When they are on, that's more than enough, but this wasn't the good Kawada with the electric strikes. It was quite obvious that they, especially Kawada, were holding back, particularly in the early portion. Tenzan really nailed Kawada once, but that was with one of his errant moonsaults. They did step up the impact and intensity in the final minutes, but by then it was obvious they were doing a routine match, and it didn't pick up a lot of heat or drama. ***

G1 Climax A Block: Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Masahiro Chono 18:33. Chono was back to showing nothing here. It was sort of Tenzan's style match, but Chono didn't really do Tenzan's style. I mean, they exchanged, but without much conviction, and Tenzan wasn't using his power moves. With no real skill on display and pretty average striking, it was mostly standing or plodding. Outside of Chono kicking out of Tenzan's moonsault late in the match, the crowd was more or less dead throughout. *3/4

G1 Climax B Block: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi 13:35. On the short side, but certainly a sprited effort. It was an offensive minded match, and it's certainly impressive seeing heavyweights do more of a junior style, especially when they mix in hitting each other so hard someone (Nakamura) accidentally gets a bloody mouth, but while the match was exciting, I felt the execution was pretty average. They weren't blowing spots, but it didn't always seem smooth or fluid in the early portion. The other disappointing aspect of the match is the offense seemed rather random. They seemed to find the story in the second half with Nakamura working over Tanahashi's taped back with his moonsaults as well as submissions, but he ultimately just won with an armbar. Of course, that's certainly realistic, but it just added to my feeling that it was an immature match where they were mostly out there to show off. ***1/4

G1 Climax B Block: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Yutaka Yoshie 15:01. They worked pretty well together considering the size difference, but it wasn't particularly competitive or exciting. Yoshie dominated the match, using his size and strength to dominate an injured Tanahashi. Tanahashi tried to comeback with a reverse diving body attack, but hurt his injured back bouncing off Yoshie's gut. Tanahashi continued to get a move in here and there, but the match mainly consisted of Yoshie's tedious offense at his deliberate pace. Tanahashi finally put a few moves together that did next to no damage at the end for a win that wasn't particularly believable. **

G1 Climax A Block: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Minoru Suzuki 10:17

G1 Climax A Block: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Yuji Nagata 26:55. A savage war of one-upsmanship that may well be the most brutal match of Kawada's remarkable career. It was that sick! It reminded me of the famous 4/8/95 Kawada vs. Akira Taue Carnival match where they just beat the living shit out of each other, but Taue can't strike the way Nagata can. And Nagata's ability to strike was the story of the match, in that both are the uber tough kickers who weren't willing to let the other do anything better than they did. They established the pattern of the match when at the outset when Nagata did a little Kawada style leg stretch, so Kawada had to follow with the same exact stretch. They proceeded to take every wicked blow their opponent could dish out like a tough man, and give back an even harder one of their own. They took their time, measuring every blow, and man did they sting. By the 8 minute mark, Nagata's chest was beaten so red it appeared he wore a tank top to the beach on a 100 degree day and fell asleep for way too long without any suntan lotion. And this was just the beginning! The match was all about ego. It was about surviving, about not being the one to cry uncle first. Kawada had a run then Nagata came back working his bad knee. After Kawada took every leg kick and submission in Nagata's arsenal, he popped up from a brainbuster then a backdrop, following each with his own version, and they laid into each other again. Both were wobbly and woozy, but as long as they had the insolence to continue standing, they weren't going to give each other an inch. When they couldn't stand, they forced themselves back up. It was last man conscious wins. ****1/2

G1 Climax A Block: Yuji Nagata vs. Osamu Nishimura 19:34. Nice technical match, mixing UWF with Fujinami, thought he structuring was a bit peculiar. Nagata was still on fire from the Kawada match, and wasn't getting near that level of resistance from Nishimura, so he was just running through him. Nishimura tried to mix it up a little early, but that was a bad idea, and Nagata pretty much destroyed his arm with kicks, leverage holds, and submissions. Just when it was looking like a jobber match, Nishimura came to life attacking Nagata's knee. Nishimura controlled the final third of the match with this equally well focused attack. Just when Nishimura earned the credibility for his near finishes to get over, the momentary drama was quelled by Nagata finally, which now seemed more like suddenly, putting Nishimura away very easily. ***1/2

G1 Climax A Block: Masahiro Chono vs. Kendo Kashin 1:45

G1 Climax A Block: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Minoru Suzuki 17:11. Suzuki was up for major helpings of Kawada's brutality. It wasn't as sick as Kawada vs. Nagata from 8/8/05, but it was pretty nasty. Suzuki was at his pro style best here, pretty much doing a loose version of his old UWF/PWFG stuff. It wasn't so much what he did, but that he took it seriously, wrestling with intensity and focus rather than doing too much acting to try to get over or get a reaction from the crowd. He'd duck Kawada's strikes and fire back with his Pancrase open palms. Suzuki was never much of a kicker, but they had a good knee exchange. The one disappointing aspect of the match, which wasn't really their fault, is despite their efforts at realism, the fans weren't reacting to Suzuki's submissions holds, not even taking the rear naked chokes seriously. They kept raising the bar on the ferocity until they climaxed with a huge Kobashi/Sasaki exchange. This was actually meaningful because it was about putting everything they had into finishing the match by finally knocking the opponent out rather than just showing off. I also liked that the exchange developed, starting with slaps then moving to punches when the slaps couldn't do it then elbows, ultimately whatever it took. ****

G1 Climax A Block: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Osamu Nishimura 17:00. They met each other half way with Nishimura wrestling much stiffer and Kawada doing a lot more technical wrestling. Nishimura's striking was considerably more impressive than what he showed against Nagata on 8/11/05. There was a big pop for Kawada trying to escape Nishimura's headscissors with a handstand. They eased into the body of the match, which consisted of Nishimura working Kawada's bad knee. Kawada came back, but the knee injury prevented the usual explosion and torque on his backdrop. They got the stretch Plum over by having Kawada go to it after trying to KO Nishimura with huge strikes and one or two of his favorite concussive moves. Nishimura survived it twice, and had hope spots pulling a counter into a pinning predicament for a big pop, but the third time was the charm for Kawada. ***1/2

G1 Climax A Block: Masahiro Chono vs. Tatsumi Fujinami 11:08

G1 Climax A Block: Yuji Nagata vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan 16:55. Tough, showy match, exchanging their hardest strikes and best moves. They encouraged each other not to hold back, and Tenzan's mouth was busted open hardway. They worked really hard and were clearly trying for a high end match, but they didn't tell much of a story or put the effort into selling, so it left me feeling kind of cold and empty. What makes Nagata the best NJ heavyweight of his generation is he thinks his way through the match, but I didn't get that feeling at all today. It felt more like Tenzan drained Nagata's finesse and reflection, in favor of Tenzan's straightforward brawling style. They went to the big moves halfway through, but aside for Nagata having answers to Tenzan's anaconda vice, the whole thing just seemed to have a lazy, I'll do a strike or big move then you do a strike or big move sort of structuring. I certainly enjoyed the match, but I guess I feel as though I should have enjoyed it more than I did. ***1/4

G1 Climax Semifinal: Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Toshiaki Kawada 6:23. A Kawada miracle, finding a way to get a memorable match out of Fujita. Fujita is an amateur wrestler who could sort of do MMA by virtue of blocking strikes with his thick skull and could never do pro wrestling, so Kawada made it easy for him and pretty much just told him to hit him for real. Fujita isn't really accurate, but 75% of the time he cold cocked Kawada and 25% of the time he did little more than graze. Still, it was some of the sickest and most brutal stuff you'll ever see. It was easily the most intense match of the tournament, with the fans immediately reacting to the impact of the strikes. It was short, but it's a good thing because if they tried to go on like this for 27 minutes the way Kawada and Nagata did, one of them would probably have wound up in the hospital. ***1/2

G1 Climax B Block: Hiroshi Tanahashi [1] vs. Shinsuke Nakamura [1] 30:00. Brutal, grueling match. Tanahashi decided to match Nakamura strike for strike. They built the match around these crisp and intense exchanges, and as neither would back or especially fall down, they just went on until someone changed it up. But they seemed almost more interested in winning the standing war than the match itself, so they'd always return to blasting away at each other. Tanahashi always attacks the knee, but he tends to come to it at different points and to some extent in a different manner in each match. Also, the match doesn't have to be about the knee attack, as it wasn't here despite a spot here or there that recalled it such as Nakamura's knee bothering him when he missed the moonsault, so it isn't predictable and repetitive like his idol Muto. This match was about parity, and as such it was fitting that it went the distance, setting up their superior 1/4/08 Tokyo Dome main event.

G1 Climax Semifinal: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Yuji Nagata 18:22. One of Nagata's most intense and brutal matches. It was hard to believe he was bruising at this level knowing he had to come back in an hour and take on the other young ace Tanahashi in the final, and make that a special match as well. NJ's two nasty shooters could only really do one type of match together though. I mean, if it wasn't a brutal UWF leaning match, everyone would feel cheated. They tried to come out striking, but the big kicks and knees were initially evaded. This led, a bit too quick, to a series of exchanges, and once they began connecting the intensity kept being ratcheted up and the activity quickly rose until they were both were going rapid fire. Nagata took control and began to measure his blows. They got into the theme of the match, which was Nagata injuring Nakamura's left arm. Nagata didn't go to town on it the entire match, but it was always in play, as after Nagata used a few arm submissions on it Nakamura was in need of a sling and did his best to only use his right arm wherever he could. They threw every strike they had at each other, even trading enzuigiris. Eventually, they did a clumsy looking finish where Nakamura tried for an armbar, but Nagata countered into an armbar of his own. Nakamura managed to get his arm bent and began to roll to a knee, so Nagata just inexplicably released the arm. The ref immediately called for the doctor, who proceeded to stop the match. I felt Nakamura should just have submitted, and all this doctor stuff was an ill executed attempt to save face, but overall it was the right finish, even if it didn't come off organically. Whatever you think of the finish, it can't diminish the excellent performances. This was some of the best shoot style wrestling New Japan has delivered, with nasty precision blows and a good story, extremely well put over by Nakamura. ****

G1 Climax Final: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Yuji Nagata 19:02. Nagata had one of the best and most punishing matches of his career and hour earlier, and now he was facing the other ace of the current generation in the final of the biggest pro wrestling tournament of the year. Nagata stayed in ass kicking mode, and Tanahashi deserves credit not only for his willingness for trying to match Nagata in his own style, but moreso for improving his striking to the point where it wasn't totally him getting blistered then changing things up for his comebacks. Still, I feel that's the problem with the match, that they work so credibly for 75% is a big plus, but as Tanahashi lost the title on 4/13/07 doing a more credible match, he had to concede to needing his showy sling blades and high fly flows. That said, even though the diving body press was one of Tanahashi's most effective moves, including an early one off the middle rope to the floor, they were able to transition right back from Tanahashi's showy fake moves to him catching a kick and debilitating Nagata's injured knee with Dragon screws right before the finish. Nagata's knee injury and Tanahashi's arm injury could have been more consistent focuses throughout the match rather than closer to window dressing, but at least they put over that they were most concerned with incapacitating one another by hitting each other as hard as they could. Nagata even knocked one of Tanahashi's teeth out with a huge slap. Tanahashi also bled from the elbow. What was consistent was the intensity and desire. These two wanted this victory, badly, and were willing to do whatever it took to attain it. It perhaps wasn't that different from their matches from 2006, but Tanahashi's growth was apparent, and this was the one where you felt he finally grew into the role of being able to stand up to Nagata and be the ace, thus earning his first G1 without it feeling like a booking contrivance. ***3/4

10/9/75 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan, NWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Antonio Inoki vs. Lou Thesz 17:40. It's amazing what a high level Thesz could still work at despite being almost 60-years-old, especially when you consider this isn't any kind of a nostalgia match, it's just as serious as the "shoot" matches he was doing in his 20's or 30's. Thesz does a great job of carrying Inoki to a memorable technical match in his less unrealistic style, and Inoki should also be praised for his ability to seamlessly follow the master. They based the early portion around the hammerlock, with Thesz consistently maintaining the advantage with primitive Kimura sweeps. Inoki failed to elbow his way out, but managed to drop into his own hammerlock in the scramble, which set up a sweet spot where Thesz tried to snapmare his way out, but Inoki maintained control of the lock on the way over. Thesz slowly inserted his heel tactics to rile Inoki up, always getting a cheap shot or two in such as a short punch to the midsection instead of breaking cleanly on the ropes. Inoki finally wised up and answered Thesz's elbow on what should be the break with one of his own, and maintained control slapping a headlock on. The match was excellent up until this point, but began to break down after this, as it felt like they just didn't know how to get to Inoki going over. I expected Inoki to eventually lose his temper & start brawling, but they didn't build anymore to a response that wasn't coming, instead going back to technical mode for a little while without advancing the match then going to the clunky finish. You knew Thesz wasn't going an hour at his age, but the bridge to the finish should have been better, or more acurately actually existant. Obviously Inoki wasn't just going to staight up knock the legend out or something, but the clash of heads when Thesz was backdropping Inoki into the ring was contrived at best & then Inoki finished a still dazed Thesz off with his own backdrop & a blown bridging fallaway slam that was so mangled Thesz ultimately didn't really take a bump on. Inoki getting the pin over Thesz, even a semi-retired old Thesz, was a momentous occasion in his career, I can't underscore how HUGE it was for his reputation in general and especially as a "shooter". In the end, it was an impressive if incomplete match that could have been a lot better given what a great start they got off to. ***3/4

12/11/75 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan, 2/3 Falls NWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Antonio Inoki vs. Billy Robinson 60:00. A great, great performance by Robinson, carrying Inoki to one of his best matches, and really doing it in a multifaceted manner where he got more out of him by making him answer him but also by knowing how to play his emotions to rile him up & thus escalate the tension. Regardless of who had the advantage, Robinson kept making Inoki work. If Robinson had the advantage, Inoki was just going to stay trapped until he did something to counter, and if Inoki had the advantage, Robinson would keep putting out responses to force Inoki to either work the hold more to make him break/stop or change his position to end it. Inoki may look better physically, but you always got the sense that Robinson was 2 steps ahead of him & had 10 answers to whatever offense Inoki might try, when Inoki wasn't just busy trying to dig himself out of the latest hole. The big problem with this match, as with Thesz match, is Inoki isn't remotely in his opponent's class, but in this case both were in their 30's & primes, so there wasn't the semi-retired legend excuse to even things up. Beyond that, the hour draw wasn't really to their advantage, as it slowed Robinson down way too much. When you look at Robinson's matches against Jumbo or Baba, they're aggressive action oriented matches that take advantage of Robinson's ability to counter & develop sequences even if they're as long as this, and Robinson's opponents really add a lot to the match, even if in Baba's case it's more amazing effort & a willingness to throw everything he could think of at Robinson than than solid technique. This was a much more mat oriented match, for better & worse, and a very slow building one at that. They used a grappling base where they'd lock up, one would gain a quick advantage, & the other would spend the next few minutes working his way out from under this. The holds were worked for minutes at a time, but too often for my liking they'd eventually get to a break then basically just restart with something else rather than keeping things going countering & chaining the holds & playing off the past sequences. Rather than a unique technical classic, it felt more like a not fully developed World of Sport match. I liked the spot where Robinson tried to bodyslam his way out of the cravate, but Inoki maintained the hold. You got that kind of big moment here and there early on, with the highlight being an exchange of elbows with Robinson in the ropes because neither were breaking cleanly from the outset, leading to Robinson just losing it & belly to belly suplexing Inoki and himself over the top to the floor because he could! However, for the most part the match was just working an advantageous position for as long as you could. Things began to pick up when Robinson injured Inoki's back with his backbreaker 19 minutes in. I thought this would lead to the 1st fall finish, but Inoki withstood Robinson's Boston crab & subsequent back stretches & eventually recovered. Robinson has the real fight mindset of winning being the important thing & the manner just being the means to the end, so he isn't the type of fighter that always needs to beat you with the same move or series. He failed to take Inoki out with a back move, but he really didn't care, he's always just taking whatever is available, so he switched to the neck for a while, working the cravate again until he hit a big reverse neckbreaker. The match was very much like an MMA match in that regard, it's not a continuous pro wrestling story where they target a certain area or have a specific injury theme, but rather a series of advantages that are exploited until they no longer can be, at which point they happily move on to something else because it's not about the particulars, it's about being in control & using that control to ultimately get to a spot the opponent can't escape from. The match changed after Robinson finally scored the first fall with a flash backslide 43 minutes in, as Inoki shifted to desperation mode & really pushed to get the fall back. This final third is more standing whereas the 1st 2/3 were almost totally on the ground, and this works better for Inoki because they can just exchange some suplexes & dropkicks, which doesn't take much more than the opponent waiting for you to do your move. I felt Inoki's desperation added to the match, but there still wasn't much beyond the elbow exchange in the final minute that really reached the level of urgency & intensity that Robinson & Jumbo Tsuruta were at in their brilliant 3/11/77 draw when the G+ edit starts somewhere in the 1st fall, much less after they'd upped the level so many times throughout that masterpiece. For me, unlike Robinson's AJ matches, this wasn't particularly improved by the high spots so much as simply moving on to other things with an increasing level of urgency that I would have liked them to be able to show before this on the mat. I feel the main problem is that although Inoki can follow Robinson well enough that Robinson gets the most out of Inoki, Inoki just doesn't possess the creativity or spontaneity to challenge Robinson, much less drag next level moments out of him, so it winds up being a Han vs. Maeda great one man show that results in a really good battle of top stars rather than a Han vs. Tamura give & take that's just magic back & forth. Inoki really brings little to the match beyond his unwillingness to lose & the same old idea it's supposed to be real, and it's pretty clear he's the big reason it doesn't measure up to Robinson's AJ matches, with Baba giving 100 times the performance against Robinson simply on will, effort, and actually having a concept of how to get the most out of what he can bring to the match. Lou Thesz seemed to handle Inoki's limitations better than Robinson because Thesz has a more set routine he's guiding the opponent through whereas Robinson is really doing a primitive version of MMA where the opponent's reactions are necessary to change things up, otherwise there's no reason for him to not maintain the same hold/position/control. I didn't like that Inoki's big push to even the match up led to Robinson trying to stall out his 1-0 lead rather than push himself to regain the dominance he had over Inoki for the first 43 minutes & actually take the title home with him. Sure, it got heel heat & incited Inoki, but Robinson has better ways to do this, and I don't think you can actually win the title without 2 falls unless NWF has different rules. Even if you could, it still just felt false for a cocky fighter such as Robinson to not be pushing forward. There was massive excitment when Inoki managed to finish Robinson with his manjigatame at 59:12 to even things up, a real classic wrestling dramatic finish without actually being a finish, and from Inoki's standpoint that late finish surely "proved" he would have won the match if time didn't expire though the last minute was actually back to playing even, but even Inoki would have earned more if he managed to counter an overconfident Robinson than one who was running out the clock technically he does lock it after ducking a big Robinson chop. In the end, the match earns high marks for managing to consistently work, and it's nice that it's totally different than anything Robinson would go on to do in All Japan, but his best All Japan matches are so much more energetic & interesting worked & structured. ****

VOL. 1 SINGLE MATCH SELECTION

2/16/97 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan, J-CROWN Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Koji Kanemoto 19:26. A week after Liger's best singles with Otani, he serves up his best with Kanemoto. The match comes off as a spotfest on TV because the second half is so overloaded with spectacular moves back and forth, but it's really quite well built before they go off on one another. Kanemoto comes out fired up, and really takes it to Liger during the first half. He throws a lot of hard kicks early, targeting the knee to set up his body work. Liger is really looking overmatched here, and Kanemoto is at his cocky best, enjoying every opportunity to take liberties with Liger and put the boots to him. Liger finally avoids a moonsault and comes back with a series of shoteis. The match kicks into high gear from here, with essentially an elongated finishing sequence that's probably the most exciting junior wrestling of the year. ****3/4

1/1/82 Tokyo Korakuen Hall WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Decision Match: Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid. Dynamite was all over Tiger's knee, totally persistent with Tiger fighting him off for his life. He tied it in the ropes and stomped from the right side until the ref pushed him away. Instead of backing off he circled around, so when the ref turned his back and tried to pry Tiger loose, he came in from the left side and stomped it some more. Tiger did some of his best selling here. I like how Dynamite was the fiercest most aggressiev bastard yet he was still wary of his opponents impressive techniques. The match was mainly knee work, but that made the lightning fast counters that much more impressive. Moves keep getting better and better, but still no one has been able to match the speed of the counter sequences these guys did together, and they were very intricate ones done precisely. There was a particularly great sequences where Tiger tried to come back with kicks, but after some counters I could barely keep up with, Dynamite had Tiger beat with his tombstone and diving headbutt only to pull him up. The wrestling was exceptional and they wasted no time, but it was so short I'm not sure I can rate it a great match. 8:31. ****1/4

1/28/82 Tokyo Taiikukan, WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid. The opposite of their last match, as Dynamite was the one doing all the selling and Tiger was attacking his knee. Dynamite was taking some wild bumps where he'd jump/be propelled high and far, but even though Dynamite is the better seller, a Dynamite focused attack makes for a better match because his ferocity makes you buy into him wanting to hurt his opponent and Tiger has the better comeback offense plus is so over it'll surely get a big reaction. All that being said, what might have hurt this the most is that it was so much slower. Not that they can't have a high quality slow match, but their speed sequences are what separates them. Though this is probably their worst match available, it was still very good and had some serious highlights. Tiger did this wicked implant DDT where he lifted Dynamite so he was parallel to the mat then dropped down, with Dynamite's body being straight up and down when his head hit the mat. The finish was a crazy scramble with Dynamite landing on his feet (surprisingly sloppily) for a verticle suplex into the ring then 3 lightning go-behinds into a German suplex. The match really never took off though, and the added time was a negative if anything. 12:36. ***1/2

2/5/82 Sapporo Nakajima Taiiku Center WWF Jr. Title: Tiger Mask vs. Bret Hart. Very good match. Tiger has tremendous flurries, chaining together spots with incredible speed. Bret is very solid, predominantly taking good bumps and providing a base for Tiger's tremendous spots.

Disk 2

2/9/82 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Baby Face. The thing you have to understand about Tiger is his athleticism and body control are unparalled. He could essentially find a way to land on his feet from any position, and this aspect was so spectacular that the traditional highspots (ie highspot=something that supposedly does a lot of damage) often took a back seat. The running portions were very impressive, especially a sweet segment where Tiger landed on his feet for a backdrop and did a jumping dropdown with Baby Face leaping over him with a somersault while Tiger was still in the air. The problem with the match is it just about stopped in between these highlights, with too many restmissions. Match lacked flow and direction. They should have essentially done a lucha match because that's the only aspect Baby showed proficiency in here, and Tiger made such an impression in Mexico that every Japanese guy that toured after was held to his standard. 12:43. ***

3/12/82 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Tiger Mask vs. Blackman. Very good Lucha style match. Blackman was really athletic in his day, but he didn't have high spots that were in the same stratosphere as Sayama's. Mat oriented early, picking up at the 10-minute mark for a great, albeit short, finishing sequence that was highlighted by Sayama exploding through the ropes with a suicida.

3/30/82: Antonio Inoki & Tatsumi Fujinami & Tiger Mask vs. Masked Superstar & Don Muraco & Steve Wright

3/31/82 Nagoya Aichi-ken Taiikukan: Tiger Mask & Kengo Kimura vs. Steve Wright & Blackman. Good, but nothing special. Highlights were Wright's cool cartwheel counters and Tiger and Blackman working together at a super speed. Kimura's work was cut out.

4/1/82 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan, WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Steve Wright. Wright is very flexible, but stylistically he's a better opponent for Fujinami. What I like about his technical game is how he uses leverage and his opponent's momentum. Wright grounded Tiger and had him selling for much of the match, so while Wright is proficient this was pretty dull by Tiger's standards. Even once it picked up it was more of a striking and submission match, but they mixed it up pretty well and it did have some nice athletic spots like Wright countering a headscissors with a cartwheel. 17:48. ***1/4

4/21/82 Tokyo Sumo Hall WWF Jr. Title: Tiger Mask vs. Black Tiger. Great match with really good work. Peers throwing bombs. Sayama was forced to sell here. Tiger does a really cool slingshot plancha. Finish was kind of lame because Tiger "snapping" didn't make much sense to me.

5/25/82 Shizuoka NWA Jr. Title: Les Thorton vs. Tiger Mask. Merely good. This match was all wrong for Sayama. Sayama's style was light years ahead of his time, while Thorton was a throwback technician. So, it was kind of like the 1990's meeting the 1960's. The match didn't work and was too long, even though it was pretty short. Tiger wins the NWA World Jr. Title!

5/26/82 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan, WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Black Tiger vs. Tiger Mask. Started off with all the impressive arm bar/drag/whip counters. Tiger entered the ring with the gymnastics move that Muto later used often where he slingshots over and lands on his feet. Tiger did similar if not the same spots he did in the title match against Hamada, but they were much more impressive here because of the difference in athleticism between Tiger & Hamada. Similarly, what kept it down was that instead of building momentum, Black would kill it with a rest hold or some mediocre brawling. The match had Mask's best finishing sequence so far in the series starting when he missed a pescado, but Black still couldn't pin him with the suplex back into the ring. 14:15. ****

Disk 3

6/18/82 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Decision Match: Tiger Mask vs. Ultraman. Lucha style match with some exceptional offense. What kept this from being an excellent match is that, due to their lack of familiarity and the two technico problem, their offense was way ahead of their ability to work with each other. Their sequences only had a couple of steps and then they'd kind of wait. Though the moves weren't particularly well utilized you still had to be impressed. Tiger did things like turn Ultraman's arm drag into one of his own in midair and land on his feet when Ultraman jumped off the top into an arm drag. Tiger did his space flying Tiger drop here. He also used the move originally known as the Tigerdriver, which was kind of a cross between a snap suplex and DDT. 12:37. ***1/2

7/6/82 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Crown Decision Match: Tiger Mask vs. Ultraman. This was a little sloppy, but overall better than their previous match because they did longer sequences and utilized each other's athleticism more. The chemistry wasn't close to what Tiger has with Dynamite or Kobayashi, but the match boasted some spectacular new spots like Tiger doing a one-arm cartwheel to counter Ultraman jumping off the top into an arm drag. It probably would have been excellent if it went a few minutes longer, but I can understand why this was kept shorter. 12:42. ***3/4

7/23/82 Ishikawa: Tiger vs. Dynamite Kid. Awesome match with tremendous performances by both men. Great fluid work. Execution, timing, etc were all top notch. Cool athletic counters and some beautiful sequences. Interesting to see Tiger refusing to break when Dynamite gets the ropes, which leads to a young Bret Hart interfering on Dynamite's behalf. Normally I hate screw jobs, but this might be the most successful count out ever. ****3/4

7/30/82 Nagoya Aichi-ken Taiikukan WWF Jr. Title: Tiger vs. Bret Hart

7/31/82 Osaka Rinkai Sports Center 2/3 Falls: Tatsumi Fujinami & Tiger Mask & Kengo Kimura vs. Greg Valentine & Dynamite Kid & Bret Hart. Good, interesting match. Hart looked really sharp working with Sayama, who got destroyed in this match, as was Kimura. Valentine worked American style and looked totally out of place.

8/5/82 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid. One of the reasons this is one of the couple best series of all time is they'd always do a different match. Most series just fall into a groove - especially the ones like this where the same guy wins every match - but getting to the same place didn't stop these two from doing a different scenario and experimenting along the way. It would take much longer to describe the sequences than it did for them to do them. They extended the match by combining the speed with the substance, mixing bursts of action between Tiger's knee attack. The big difference was the way they used the floor to allow for new and innovative spots/sequences. Tiger knocked Dynamite over the top to the floor with his rolling savate then ran the ropes to get up a head of steam for his dive. Dynamite immediately re-entered to avoid it, so Tiger simply high cross bodied him when he stood up. Tiger suplexed Dynamite over the top to the floor, but Dynamite held on enough to take Tiger over with him. Dynamite realized that instead of guys always jumping to the floor to set up the next move, he should just throw the guy there and do the move, in this case a suplex. Tiger realized that instead of doing the pescado like several guys, he could just run and leap over the top onto his opponent. It looked like Tiger was going to side suplex Dynamite back into the ring, but instead he dropped him for a new version of the piledriver. 15:57. *****

8/27/82 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Tiger Mask & Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Black Tiger & Pete Roberts 10:45. Some excellent stuff from the Tigers, both in terms of garnering heat for the rivalry &, of course, in state of the art junior wrestling. Black attacked Mask with the flowers they presented him before the match, with Mask soon returning the favor. They did some really fast, counter laden sequences, providing the pure action. Roberts was very fun as well with his leverage based British offense. There was a lot of potential for athletic counters there with Tiger, but he was mostly paired with Fujinami. Fujinami was actually the least interesting in the match, but the UK style was nonetheless a really good fit for him because it's a lot more based on athleticism & movement than the Japanese or American technical styles of the day. Fujinami wasn't a true junior or heavyweight stylist, but this could have been the perfect mix of the two. ***1/2

8/30/82 New York, NY MSG WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid. This match really stood out to me when I first got into puroresu because many people that weren't overly into Japanese wrestling considered it a classic, perhaps the best ever in Madison Square Garden. The match was like a decade ahead of it's time in the U.S.; really not until the Liger vs. Pillman matches was there something so good and stylistically different than anything else that was being done here. What I really noticed about the match this time was the incredible reaction it got. The myth was always that no one wanted to see the little guys because they could never beat the big roiders. They certainly needed to win the fans over, it just didn't seem that way because the crowd was just in awe of the speed and the gymnastic style they'd never seen before, so they were reacting from the get go. The execution was extremely crisp execution and the moves had a lot of impact, but really the best part was the opening where they were just doing the amazing gymnatic counters. Match really flies by and is excellent at the very least.

9/3/82 Fukuoka Sports Center WWF Jr. Title: Tiger Mask vs. Villano III. Beautiful Lucha action for a hot crowd.

9/10/82 Kumamoto: Tiger Mask vs. Pete Roberts. Worst match from Sayama's prime that I've seen. Roberts technical style should have been fine for setting up Tiger for his athletic counters, but he was getting on in years & didn't want to do anything but rest holds. Only notable because Black Tiger attacked Sayama before the match, but Sayama kicked his butt then Roberts tossed Black Tiger to the floor.

9/17/82 Aomori: Tiger Mask vs. Chris Adams. Adams was a weird opponent for Sayama because his style wasn't exactly juniorish. Not bad by any means, but Adams style wasn't right and his offense was too limited. Slow paced, with Sayama using mainly strikes and matwork. Crowd really pulls for Sayama's comeback.

9/19/82 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Tiger Mask & Kantaro Hoshino vs. Black Tiger & Villano III 15:53. Good match, but one of Tiger's least memorable. Lots of good moves, but little that was spectacular. Both worked Lucha style with V3. They heated up the Tiger vs. Tiger fued with a post match fight on the outside. ***1/4

9/21/82 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Black Tiger. Unlike the previous match, the extra length wasn't beneficial. It seemed like they were holding back. The 1st 13 minutes were mainly submissions, strikes, and athletic counters. Those counters might have helped a lot, but Mask was off and couldn't land on his feet cleanly. Black was carrying the match as usual, and I think he might have reset Mask's comebacks after Mask didn't get the first counter right. In any case, this wasn't as exciting as usual. Black wound up attacking Mask's knee later in the match, which then gave Mask an excuse for not flying like usual. Black did a double axehandle to the floor like Savage made famous. After the match, he attacked Mask including a tombstone on the floor. 19:08. ***1/4

10/8/82 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Tiger Mask vs. Martin Jones. Very good match. Jones is like a poor man's Dynamite Kid here. His offense wasn't as spectacular, but it was a wrestled like a grudge match (though it lacked heat) with great work and execution. If the finish didn't come out of nowhere, it probably would have been great.

10/26/82 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi. This quality of match was determined more by how they did it than by what they did, especially early on. What they did was somewhat typical, but they were intense and struggling for everything to the point you could almost believe they weren't cooperating. They gave it purpose. Unfortunately, as the match progressed, they reverted back to the more standard way of doing things. The match also had its share of down time. The athletic sequences were very graceful though, and it was a nice mix of styles. Tiger did 2 elbow drops and a somersault senton within 4 seconds. He also did an impressive All Japan style backdrop. The highlight was when Kobayashi stopped Tiger's rounding body press by punching him to the floor because Tiger took the bump off the top straight to the floor instead of the requisite landing on the apron and rolling off. Kobayashi followed with a pescado then back in the ring he got inexplicably aggressive tying Tiger in the tree of woe and stomping him until well after he was DQ'd, as well as trying to rip his mask. Oddly, the opening was the best wrestled portion. 16:56. ****

11/4/82 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan WWF Junior Heavyweight & NWA World Junior Heavyweight Double Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi. Tiger was extremely spectacular here, even by his own standards. His offense had evolved considerably, so now he was able to use his athleticism to sometimes do damage while gaining the advantage. He basically decided he was going to show off every chance he got. This wasn't an exhibition of spots though because Kobayashi was trying to ground Tiger, theoretically doing his best to keep it where he had the advantage and prevent Tiger from doing his thing. Also, Tiger used his aerial manuevers and suplexes to set up submissions. There were all kinds of highlights, many of which were well thought out. For instance, the great opening where Tiger jumped off the top as always, but this time he immediately jumped again, dropkicking a surprised Kobayashi to the floor then catching him with a suicida. It was one of the only times that it wasn't annoying that they didn't scrap the intros and keep fighting because the ref was holding Kobayashi back the whole time. Another smart spot saw Kobayashi retain the advantage even though Tiger landed on his feet for a back body drop because knowing what Tiger is capable of, Kobayashi immediately turned around and dropkicked him before Tiger could try a move. Tiger's backflip double kneedrop is one of the greatest athletic moves because you have to be a supreme athlete to do the backflip from the standing position and it's one of the rare aerial moves that would actually do noteworthy damage. This match continued where the 10/26 one left off with Kobayashi this time succeeding in ripping Tiger's mask, which changed the result from a probable Tiger count out to a Kobayashi DQ. Tiger was incensed at the mask ripping and "lost it, tying Kobayashi in the tree of woe and kicking him repeatedly. The post match was pretty amazing because one guy would kick the crap out of the other until he was restrained then the other would quickly recover and gain the advantage because he didn't have anyone in his way. Even though it was silly and not properly sold, it was very memorable and a major heat/hate generator. 13:38. ****3/4

Disk 5

1/6/83 Tokyo Korakuen Hall, NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi. This wasn't quite as good as their previous matches because Kobayashi was more successful in grounding Tiger. It was probably the closest pre-UWF Tiger Mask match to what he'd go on to do as Super Tiger in the UWF, but it wasn't as intense as their last couple of matches. In between Kobayashi's judo and Tiger's kicks and submissions they'd still do the Lucha segments, with Kobayashi being the workman who set Tiger up for several explosive comebacks. The fighting out of the ring was articularly notable. Tiger jumped so far on his dive over the top that he cleared Kobayashi's head and landed on the guard rail. There was a great segment where Kobayashi hit a pescado, but Tiger reversed his whip into the bars. Kobayashi stopped Tiger from reentering though and suplexed him, but Tiger just slid back in at 19. Another cool sequence on the outside saw Tiger run Kobayashi into the ring post then German suplex him when he bounced off. Match wasn't as consistently good as some of their others since it went so long, but Kobayashi had a better chance of winning since it was more his style and thus he was in control more. 23:09. ****1/4

1/14/83 Yamaguchi: Tiger Mask & Gran Hamada & Kantaro Hoshino vs. Los Missioneros de la Muerte (El Signo, El Texano, & Negro Navaro). Very good to great fast-paced Lucha action. Animal Hamaguchi and Rusher Kimura, among others, destroy Sayama before the match. Highlight is Tiger against Texano, as they do some super counters.

1/20/83 Oita: Tiger Mask vs. Negro Navaro. Just ok. Navaro was unimpressive. Too much time wasting. Signo & Texano jump Sayama after the match, but Kobayashi makes the save.

1/28/83 Ibaraki: Tiger Mask & Kantaro Hoshino vs. Black Tiger & Jose Estrada. Very good when the Tigers were in together, but generally nothing special.

2/3/83 Hokkaido Sapporo Nakajima Taiiku Center NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Gran Hamada. Tiger's best matches come when the opponent is calling and setting him up, but Hamada is also a technico and not one to carry a match. Hamada still dictated more than Tiger, but he was going in dull direction rather than making it a battle of perhaps the two best athletes in the division. Poor development, a surprising amount of wear down locks, and Hamada not being that sharp resulted in one of Tiger's least memorable title matches. 17:19. **3/4

2/7/83 Tokyo Sumo Hall WWF Jr. Title: Tiger Mask vs. Black Tiger. Tiger looked better here than in their previous encounters as his arsenal was larger and his work seemed better. Seemed like an excellent match.

2/8/83 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan WWF Jr. Title: Tiger Mask vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi. Another great match between these two. Kobayashi pushes matwork before the high spots. Heated match. Finish is along the same lines as their match on 3rd Dimension, but works a lot better here.

2/10/83: Tiger Mask & Hoshino vs. Hamada & Kobayashi. Very good match. Had nice work and told a story. Hamada & Kobayashi concentrate on trying to unmask Tiger.

4/21/83 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan NWA World Junior Heavyweight Crown Decision Match: Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid. Dynamite was all jacked up, totally determined to finally beat Tiger. I loved the early sequence where he was preventing Tiger from a spectacular arm bar counter. Tiger finally does two quick rolls reverse only to have Dynamite do a beautiful head spring out of the arm bar. They were a little more hesitant here to show that they were leery of going to the risks to soon because their opponent was so adept at making them backfire. They were that much stiffer than they'd ever been, measuring each other than bringing it with the extra impact. Tiger even did the western lariat. What really set this match apart from their others was the screw jobs. Normally one is an automatic rating deduction in my book, and this match had 3! However, they amazingly worked, primarily by exploiting their own ridiculousness. This was a match about closing the gap between Tiger and Dynamite, and the finishes were more showing how equal they were and that they needed to keep going than anything else. Dynamite would keep petitioning for a restart in between attacking Tiger again. They set some of the spots up pretty well like how Dynamite couldn't do his tombstone during the first match, but then he kicked Tiger when they were petitioning for the second match, which gave him the opening. The one problem with this match was on the second screw job. They were out of the ring for 1:15 for the ref to give a 20 count, which would have been fine if the ref was finally close to 20 when Tiger reenter, but since he wasn't Dynamite had to stumble around out there for almost 30 seconds. The whole match was just a crazy out of control spectacle. Some of their lesser matches were better technically, but this is kind of like the 8/15/92 Toyota vs. Yamada where you not only have a great match but an entire scene that's wholly memorable. Finally, when they got tired of fighting after the third screw job Dynamite grabbed the ref's arm and raised it so it looked like the ref was declaring him the victor then got on the mic and said he'd just won the belt. 11:11, 3:32, & 1:52. *****

Disk 6

6/2/83 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan WWF Junior Heavyweight Crown Decision Match: Tiger Mask vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi. Kobayashi believed in a big start before getting into the body of the match. I agree with this mentality when there actually is a body because it grabs the crowds attention and buys you some time to develop the match without them getting impatient. Kobayashi made it work for him the way few have though because having already done some damage made his submissions more credible. Though the match started as a sprint, the way they came out fired up and intense and kept the success rate low showed the urgency and importance. I mean, these guys were just dead set on not letting the other get the advantage. At the same time, the match was extremely well choreographed. There were new sequences like Tiger landing on his feet for a back body drop, avoiding a 360 kick, then hitting a rounding high kick. They knew when to use the moves and how to incorporate them. Kobayashi stopped Tiger's reverse diving body attack by sticking his knee out for a stomach breaker then followed with a traditional stomachbreaker and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. This was one of the few matches where you believed Tiger could lose. The fans were going nuts toward the end, especially when it appeared Kobayashi was 1 move away from victory. Unfortunately, after so much brilliance the finisher was real lame and slow, not to mention probably a bad call by the ref. 18:03. ****3/4

6/12/83 Mexico El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos 2/3 Falls WWF Junior Heavyweight Crown Decision Match: Tiger Mask vs. Fishman. The match was good when Fishman utilized Tiger's ability to roll out of moves to their advantage. It's always good when Tiger is on offense, but Fishman doesn't do much so it's hard for Tiger to have much of a match with him. Fishman did do one interesting move where he set Tiger on the second and threw him past the center of the ring, kind of like a press slam. The big mistake of the match was the fall Fishman won was the shortest. I'll write this (and it being much more contrived) off to it being Mexico, but Tiger always withstands tons more and never loses, so it was very hard to take. The pacing was very awkward with the match basically stopping then starting again, and Fishman stalled too much. Tiger sometimes found interesting ways out of Fishman's submissions, but as a whole they did more harm than good. Had it's moments though not as many as usual and wasn't as good in any other area to make up for that, but barring a series of miscues Tiger is entertaining enough that his presence guarantees a good match. 11:03, 4:37, & 6:53. ***

7/7/83 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Isamu Teranishi. What was Teranishi doing here? He's not athletic, has no offense, and was too clumsy and awkward for Tiger to do his thing with. He was killing the match with rest holds and incompetence, though that was an improvement over nearly killing Tiger early when he lost his balance near the ropes as Tiger was trying to monkey flip him, with Tiger's weight sending both over the top to the floor. Tiger needed to step up here, but he wasn't doing as much of interest as usual. What he did do didn't come off as well because Teranishi's positioning was suspect and selling so exaggerated. Kobayashi was in the front row, and he and Tiger got into it after Kobayashi gave Teranishi a boost to help him reenter following Tiger's suicida. Kobayashi attacked Tiger after the match, destroying Tiger's mask so we got a glimpse of his face before they went to the long shot, and running off with the title belt. 15:58. **1/4

7/14/83 Sapporo Nakajima Taiiku Center WWF Jr. Title: Tiger Mask vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi. Very good match.

7/20/83 Asahikawa City: Tiger Mask & Hoshino vs. Kobayashi & Isamu Teranishi. Work was good, but the match itself is unspectacular. Mainly just Kobayashi & Teranishi using heel tactics on Tiger to get heat. Notable because Tiger's team actually loses.

7/29/83 Toyama City Taiikukan: Tiger Mask vs. El Halcon. Average Lucha style match. Halcon didn't show much offensively and wasn't too competitive.

8/1/83 Gifu: Tiger Mask & Osamu Kido vs. Kobayashi & Teranishi. More of the same as Kobayashi & Teranishi concentrate on unmasking Tiger.

8/4/83 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Tiger Mask vs. Isamu Teranishi. Tiger didn't have much confidence in Teranishi after the last debacle and was basically trying to figure out how he could have a good match without relying on his opponent to help him pull the spots off. He did a lot of kicking and knee dropping, but the submission stuff was totally dull without the movement and counters. The second half was action packed, though Tiger was still hardly Tiger, but had some problems because Teranishi reacts slowly and sometimes Tiger would clearly be waiting for him. Tiger was better here than in their first match, and I can't fault the adjustments he tried to make, but Teranishi is a hopeless wrestler that makes everything look worse than it should so they didn't really work. 14:35. *3/4

10/9/86 Martial Arts Match: Akira Maeda vs. Don Nakaya Nielsen R5 2:16. This classic contest did a ton for Maeda, proving his ability in a shoot that blew Inoki's "shoot" out of the water on a show that drew an amazing 28.9 prime time rating. Nielsen was at a decided disadvantage here in that he was both trying not to win because he wasn't allowed to knock Maeda out, as well as, of course, trying not to lose, while Maeda presumably had free reign to do anything he wanted to win. Though this match is in the gray area due to promoters shenanigans, as so many matches that are considered to be completely legitimate really are (and lets not even talk about gambling...), they definitely were not faking what they were actually doing, so define it however you like. The important thing is it's an awesome match with an amazing atmosphere. Maeda was incredibly over, and this had a ton of heat, with Nielsen doing a great job of playing charismatic heel in an arrogant, annoyingly overly self confident huge presence kind of manner. The intensity and ill will were off the charts, really taking things to the next level. Nielsen was so much quicker, more athletic, and flexible than when I'm used to seeing him 3 or 4 years later, at this point he's much a lighter, and really has the speed to pull off some of these flashy movie kicks that he was trying. The problem for Nielsen was not so much that Maeda would punish him for his flashiness through return fire, but for instance, Nielsen has never been in a situation before where the opponent catches a high kick and drops down into a kneebar. Nielsen can do things that Maeda never sees in pro wrestling bout, for instance, one of his best techniques was kicking the body then following with a quick left straight to the face, which Maeda was never ready for, so conditioned to the pro wrestling world where even the "best" strikers are notorious for never using any actual striking combos unless it's the same exact sequence in every match. The match was super exciting, largely because any mistake seemed crucial, with Nielsen, for instance, diving for the ropes with life or death urgency anytime it hit the mat. Nielsen had no real submission training/defense, so Maeda was almost immediately able to threaten with a variety of submissions anytime it hit the canvas. Maeda went all out to pounce on every opportunity to submit Nielsen, which in some sense annoyed the hell out of me because the thing that ruins his normal matches is that he just durdles around with no urgency on the mat, mostly just killing time. Mixed matches in New Japan have traditionally been horrible, so seeing something so competitive and exciting with this level of heat, drama, intensity, and excitement was more or less a revelation. I mean, sure Inoki vs. Willie Williams existed, but that was more great for Williams being an amazing athlete who was able to throw incredible karate at Inoki than for anything Inoki could must or the actual back & forth. Nielsen's performance was perhaps not as good as Williams, but definitely among the best for a name from another sport coming into pro wrestling, and Maeda was definitely much better than Inoki, able to somewhat hold his own in standup, as well as find ways to get the fight to the mat, rather than just trying to squirm around on his butt to avoid the areas where he was at a disadvantage, and thus the fight in the process. This match had an amazing aura, but the actual action was also able to stand up on its own. There were a couple moments that particularly stood out, the round ending while Maeda had Neilson trapped in a wakigatame, and the finish because of Nielson's dramatic pained expression. I am not certain I buy that the finish wasn't pre-determined. On one hand, Nielsen did expend a ton of energy trying to kick his way out of the kneebar (rather than just get to the ropes as he had been doing all night), on the other hand, once Maeda switched to the half crab, Nielsen basically just gave up despite being incredibly close to the ropes (and now being in a far less dangerous hold). ****1/2

7/25/85 Tokyo Ota-ku Taiikukan: Akira Maeda vs. Super Tiger 16:01. While this has much more in common with their 1/7/85 match as a conventional worked pro wrestling match, and is actually far less interesting, I feel it pairs more with their 9/2/85 sort of shoot as the battle of wills between Sayama & Maeda was coming to a head outside the ring, even though they still kept it together inside the ring. Maeda exerted his will throughout this contest, making it very submission oriented match, and not a very good one, leading to Sayama getting his way in the standup oriented rematch. Sayama was largely on the defensive trying to stay on his feet & then get back up, though he obviously didn't try very hard at the latter because with Maeda doing nothing to actually control him on the ground, he could literally stand any time he wanted to. The problem with this match is Sayama needed to make the match interesting, but by just being the good soldier & telling the story of why he's losing as best he could, he wound up just going along with Maeda grounding him & putzing around with his feeble contortions. Maeda had a number of exciting matches during his career, but was never a particularly good or credible ground fighter even though that was the style that he enjoyed, it was always the guys who actually knew what they were doing like Yamazaki & Han making the match, both pulling a few things out of him as well as putting him in the better role for the audience where he provided some fireworks with his strikes & suplexes rather than grinding things to a halt as he did when just left him to his devices. The match still started strong as Maeda's efforts to engage in a grappling match with Sayama were so much more fervent here than on 9/2, actually getting Sayama down early with his idea of (a very poorly executed) double leg takedown, after catching a kick, with his captured suplex after catching one of Sayama's clinch knees, etc. Sayama used more footwork in this one, in part because Maeda showed little interest in striking with him, but also didn't deliver on his early promise. Instead of playing the small man vs. big man game, he increasingly served himself up on a platter by fighting on the inside with Maeda so Maeda could get him down off a suplex. The bout hasn't aged that well because they just keep going for submissions while displaying no real knowledge of how to get them, focusing 99.9% on cranking a limb while just laying across the opponent not doing anything to control any other portion of their body or help them actually isolate their joint of choice.The match eventually ended in oh so credible fashion when Sayama missed an enzuigiri & Maeda clumsily secured that most credible of pro wrestling standbyes, the Boston crab! There was very little striking in this match, and consequently, even though these were the two biggest stars in the company, the crowd was pretty much dead throughout, which supports Sayama's tract that the kickboxing base was necessary to the success of the style. This was better than watching Hogan flex his muscles or Flair do another spot for spot performance of his one match, but it's close to the least interesting Sayama match of the 1980's.

8/25/85 Gifu Industry Pavilion: Akira Maeda vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara

8/29/85 Omiya Skate Center: Akira Maeda vs. Nobuhiko Takada

9/2/85 Osaka Rinkai Sports Center: Akira Maeda vs. Super Tiger 18:57. A truly fascinating contest where the clashing alpha personalities of the two dominant forces in the promotion came to a head inside the ring as they probably battled with some vague notion of deciding the future direction of the company, and instead just decided that the company had no future. Though the U.W.F. had grown increasingly shoot oriented in the year and a half it existed, morphing from the humble origins of luchadors & WWF show wrestlers into something more & more hardcore & legitimate, Maeda & Sayama were two huge stars that always wanted to win, both in front of the audience & behind the scenes. It would surely be reductive to say it came down to a matter of tastes, styles, egos, or whatever, and that even kind of comes off in the bout they wound up having. Even though they had something of a shoot, the supposed rift between Sayama's kickboxing & Maeda's submission grappling still actually didn't play out, as they ultimately did a match that was essentially in Maeda's version of Sayama's style. By that I mean, Sayama wasn't using the footwork that elevated his worked shoots toward the realm of believability, nor was Maeda really doing his remedial matwork. It really looked like Maeda's usual style of striking, except that as they pretty much stood in front of each other & bombed away, they were much more violent & aggressive in putting their whole bodies into throwing faster & harder shots that they weren't pulling as usual. Actually, rather than the art of kickboxing that Sayama managed to bring even though the opponents stood around flatfooted, this fight still exemplified that main problem with pro wrestling striking, except they did try to avoid & defend themselves in a basic sort of way, not exiting the pocket, but at least reacting to the blow they saw coming & blocking it or maneuvering their body out of the primary damage range/zone if they could. It's possible Maeda was unhappy that they were doing Sayama's standup match this time instead of his submission match as we saw on 7/25/85, but the bout definitely didn't devolve into a shoot as someone got prickly, as had been the case in the past with Maeda, they clearly were wailing on each other from the outset. One could say this was one of the first Pancrase matches, as they were not pulling their strikes, but they not only didn't use closed fists, they were clearly cooperating to some extent at points even though they were putting each other in danger & trying to legitimately damage each other most of the time. I shouldn't make it sound like Sayama wasn't fighting with strategy, he was surely giving up at least 50 pounds and even though he had superior striking technique & more explosion, he couldn't just stand toe to toe with Maeda. He tried to land the middle kick and circle off to maintain some space, but he was going backwards too much & clearly didn't have the stamina to fight what Lyoto Machida would later establish as a karate style MMA fight, so instead of capitalizing on his speed and movement advantages, Sayama spent way too much time covering in the pocket while he withstood Maeda's onslaught & poised for his next offensive. The striking portions were legit, but neither had any kind of a wrestling base, so getting the fight to the ground was rather awkward, and that's really why fights could play out much easier & better in Sayama's style than in Maeda's, which normally required him to hit a suplex to get started. Sayama wasn't taking bumps for Maeda, but still conceeded to ground portions, which basically occured when the person in the disadvantageous position surrendered further rather than finally try/work to disengage. The mat wasn't really a threatening position for either though, as when you add no BJJ background to no wrestling background, they weren't doing much beyond playing footsies, and when you combine a sweltering building with the stress & overexertion of actually trying to make things work without the usual cooperation, I think Sayama was mostly just happy to get a break while Maeda muddled around, daring him to actually come up with something to make him regret that decision. Unlike the standup where there was a very obvious difference in how aggressive they were landing blows, they didn't appear to be be applying any more pressure than usual when they actually had something of a submission, and the audience was dead silent as they were throughout the 7/25 match. As they spent more and more time delivering comatose inducing matwork, you almost forgot that a few minutes ago they seemingly wanted to kill each other on their feet. One would actually have thought that they were getting along again until Maeda grabbed the rope to get the bout returned to their feet, and proceeded to knee Sayama low for no apparent reason, leading to the DQ. It's almost certain that Maeda was supposed to lose given he defeated Tiger in their previous match, so one can deduce that Maeda may just have been looking for an out, as he should have been growing calmer, if anything, given they'd gotten away from actually shooting on one another and there was nothing new to give him a reason to pull a stunt. However, one can't be certain from the camera angle if the knee clipped the groin or not, so it's perhaps as likely that someone finally did enough damage with a legitimate blow to make whatever the planned finish was irrelevant. Maeda has always been a shady character, but from what I can see, I'm leaning toward Sayama just claiming it was a low blow. Maeda was subsequently reprimanded & never worked for the promotion again. The workers, who were already resentful of Sayama for being the booker & primary creative force in the promotion didn't side with him though, and while he did step in a U.W.F. ring six more times as this was playing out, he quit the promotion and then pro wrestling entirely. U.W.F. never ran another show after Sayama's final appearance on 9/11/85, with Maeda & co. returning to New Japan for the next 2 1/2 years before taking the next step toward blending the barrier between fake and real fighting. Very good match.
