Moonsault Marvin

The crowd seemed dead for most of the match, but I appreciated Sasaki's attempts to play to them. Taro badly botched that move, and Sasaki continuing to stand there made it worse. Average match.

This was very competently worked, but neither guy showed any personality. I wanted Hidaka to do more with selling the leg, but he was very inconsistent with it. Average match.

That underhook move by Greco smacked Yone in the face and looked like it busted him open. This looked like a good match from the clips, and the double team with the legdrop off the ropes at the end was cool.

The basic Rock N' Roll Express match with a short Ricky Morton beatdown section. The opponents weren't very interesting. Average match.

This was incredibly long and boring. A little Quackenbush goes a long way, as his cutesy approach to wrestling just isn't cut out for long matches and he isn't a compelling seller. Montoya should be commended for at least trying to fill the time with his heeling, such as the water bottle breaks, but it wasn't enough to save this one. Poor match.

Low Ki's kicks were way off throughout the match and looked bad, but the big spots made up for it. I really liked the press slam onto the table and the doctor bomb off the ropes. I was surprised that there wasn't any interference from the manager. Fun match.

The crowd would boo one guy and then the other, and they both acted heelish at times. I didn't know who the face was, so the action seemed meaningless. The match didn't flow at all with the reversals seeming convoluted. The post match didn't make sense, as Morgan grabs and kisses the other girl while the girl in his corner didn't seem to care. Below average.

Nice fast paced start with a lot of double teaming. LeGrande and Thompson work together well, and I wonder why they never made it to the big time. The match dragged a little in the middle, but overall it was a fun match.

I wonder how many months will pass before we get a clean finish in OVW? Below Average Match.

I thought Golden was tremendous as the throwback to '80s southern heel. He stalled, jawed with the fans, and had all the mannerisms down. Styles wasn't as crisp on his gymnastics as in previous matches. Bailey continued to heel it up by partially shaving the head of the announcer. Fun match.

After some promos and footage of Derrick King getting hogtied, we get a short match between King and Wolfie D. King continues to be an effective babyface and the fast paced match was fun.

The old gang is back together. Fuchi is really fun in this match, and I liked the early exchange with Kobashi where Kobashi had enough and chopped him. Kawada's boston crab was great with him really pulling back on it to devastate Kikuchi's back. They lacked the fire in the finishing stretch that they had in the early '90s matches, but it was still a very good match.

Akiyama brutalizes this guy and is almost heelish in the way he toys with the guy. He finishes him with a headlock and won't let go. This was almost an elongated squash match. Good match.

Sasuke had a great beginning to the match with a lot of fire and speed. A lot of this match felt weird to me, as I couldn't tell what was done on purpose or was a mistake. When Sasuke drops Tiger Mask, was Tiger Mask sandbagging or was he just escaping? When Sasuke almost falls off the turnbuckle, was he selling or was he legitimately slipping? No matter which, the match was compelling throughout. Good match.

Hashimoto comes out with red down his face, which at first, I wasn't sure if he was busted open or wearing some kind of face paint. Hashimoto and Ogawa hate each other, so there is no way they can coexist. My favorite part of the match was the Ogawa-Tenryu exchange with Tenryu doing a nice job of selling his head after a back suplex. Hashimoto finally attacks Ogawa, and then starts gushing blood. He gets a stiff beating from Tenryu, which leads to the huge BB Jones winning after some elbows that looked too far away from Hashimoto. This match was strange, but it was definitely interesting.

Fujiwara looked the same, but Tiger Mask had gained weight and didn't look in shape. This match felt like it never got into gear. Tiger Mask kept messing with his gi, and Fujiwara didn't really do anything when he was on top on the mat. A far cry from their great mid-80's matches. Below Average.

Pierroth was really bleeding badly. I liked the first half as they battled backstage, but felt like this began to drag once they got back to the ring. After the fast count finish, they picked the intensity back up in attacking each other. Solid match.

Atlantis and Villano III continue to build the hate, as we get jacket ripping and an unmasking. With the Villanos coming down to beat down Atlantis, they have done a great job of building up the big mask match. Very good match.

Another match with interference and guys coming out from the back to fight. This probably works better in the context of a whole show than watching single matches.

The clipped match starts with Liger seemingly finishing off El Samurai, but he is able to kick out of the brainbuster and stage a comeback. Samurai basically misses on a somersault plancha, but otherwise has a good run of offense. When Liger regains the advantage, he upgrades his brainbuster to a brainbuster superplex to beat Samurai. These guys have always been great opponents with a lot of chemistry. Good match.

Wagner has another good performance in the NJPW tags. He is really top notch at showmanship. Lots of back and forth action in this one. Good match.

The match was competently worked, but nothing really stood out. The disqualification seemed obvious after it was changed to no count out. Average match.

The feud between Tarzan Boy and the Infernales continues. The first fall has a cool corkscrew by Bucanero on a double team. The highlight of the second fall was Satanico's head slipping out of Tarzan Boy's hands as Satanico finally found an advantage for his shaved head. Satanico gets his team disqualified after the headbutt to Tarzan Boy's crotch. With Tarzan Boy having a title, maybe some championship matches are on the way. Fun match.

Quallt had an interesting look. The match wasn't much, but I love wrestlers blowing mist.

Charly Manson moved well, and the purple butterfly guy had a cool outfit. Tiger Steele came out and ruined it all. I guess the regular AAA viewers would have gotten more out of all the attacks than I did, but this seemed like a mess.
