This was booked as a match for Kawada to debut the abdominal stretch version of the stretch plum. Kawada and Fuchi make the body of the match awesome, but for me the finish fell flat because of how all the momentum Fuchi and Kawada had built up was wasted. The first 3/4 or so of the match I saw after the clip was great. Ogawa and Kikuchi had a nice, heated exchange during that time as well.

Unaired, but a fancam exists of the full thing. Now this is definitely a curiosity: these two will become legitimate tag champs and best bros in the future, for now Misawa is one of the hottest acts in the company and Ogawa is a 7-year (yes, seven year) undercarder who was only now really getting any buzz as a underlining in Tsuruta-gun, though he's mostly just there to bump and eat pins. The two don't do anything radically crazy, but you can tell they already had some solid chemistry with each other and Misawa thought highly of the guy, because this was not only a fairly evenly spread out match, but instead Ogawa actually controls things for a decent portion of it via wo…

This was absolutely dreadful. I can't bring myself to skip matches when I watch old PPVs, but I wish I did for this. This went FIFTEEN minutes. Some of the crowd pop for the Bushwacker's shtick, but it's not long before you can hear audible chants of boring. I'm not usually a fan of these kind of chants as they are disrespectful, but they deserved them here. They stunk the place out. They didn't much of anything. There's little to no spots to speak of. The Beverly Brothers have to be one of the worst tag teams that WWE have ever created. They have little gimmick to speak of and without being able to use their brutal finisher, they have little else to bring to the table. T…

This felt like Flair/Steamboat when compared to the previous match, even though it was still a mediocre match. This was exactly what you would expect out of these four. Hawk and Earthquake both throwing dropkicks was quite the sight. After all four big men brawl outside, one of the Disasters sneaks back into the win and gets the win. The Legion of Doom were the champions, so the heels don't win the belts. This was a crap finish, especially seeing as the Natural Disasters/L.O.D program ended after this match. ★½

Much like the previous year's Royal Rumble, this show opens up with an Orient Express match that gets the crowd pumped. The combination of Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart have nowhere near the level of chemistry of the Rockers, who faced the Orient Express on the same show last year, but they fit the roles of babyface well enough. Owen is a great face-in-peril and this might just be Neidhart's best performance. He laughs like a maniac and clears house once Owen is finally able to get the hot tag. He power-based offence complements Owen's quicker wrestling style. After a cane shot from Fuji, the Orient Express work down Owen and they do a good job of keeping me entertained whi…

Man oh man I LOVED this one. Such an amazing performance from Fuchi trying to survive against a higher ranked opponent by destroying his leg. His early control segment ruled, he was just viciously slamming Misawa's leg onto the announce table. The legwork set Fuchi up for both his future control segments giving him a good base to work on by stretching Misawa and also provided with him a way to easily and believably transition back into offence. Misawa's selling was sublime, just a perfect example of how selling doesn't have to black or white (and in most cases when such selling is used it takes away from the match more than anything), he limped and slowed down but still w…

Among the best sub-5 minute matches I've ever seen. So well-thought out for who both of these characters are; tons of fire from Kikuchi and Hansen lays a righteous beating on him. Take some time and watch this one, it's SO good!
