In 1998 Nagayo was mostly working short bomb throwing sprint, but in October, she for some reason decided to put on wrestling shoes and work some 70s style more grappling oriented matches against her student, perhaps MUGA inspired. This is a fun match kinda like an old studio TV squash where the jobber gets some offense. Matsumoto is a forgotten worker and not a standout in any way but she can add some fun touches. Highlights include a nifty out of nowhere leg trip, a surprise uranage and a great struggle over a neckbreaker. Nasty looking finish.

Hm... two things about this match: 1. It's Regal literally on the brink of death 2. It's Regal and Severn in a long, intense mat based contest, which is itself pretty cool. I'm not gonna pretend this was GREAT or something and there is probably something macabre about enjoying a match where one guy is close to self-destruction, but all things considered, this was pretty fun. Severn busts out some cool shit like a pretty sweet cobra twist into a pin, and Regal, while struggling to keep it together, keeps it together, and they have a sort of quasi UWF meets NWA style match. Even inebriated, out of tune Regal with his boot on the wrong foot can still make basic holds look go…

Damn, I forgot what a good little match this was. This was a match between two young guys who normally lean more towards pro style than shootstyle when they are working BattlARTS, but they do a shockingly great job approximating PRIDE imitation serious shootstyle. Just a loaded 6 minute sprint with awesome suplexes and some big exchanges. Really the perfect opener for your shootstyle fed.

The matwork here won't make you forget your top level RINGS stuff, but I enjoyed the skill vs. Power dynamic with Frye constantly pushing Ogawa. His ground headbutts also ruled. Of course you have that big time feel especially when the big throws drop. Great finish.
