[2000-01-06-WCW-Thunder] Bret Hart vs Terry Funk (Hardcore)
I liked a fair amount of this..perhaps thats just nostalgia on my part, but I cant get enough of seeing these two work even when broken down. Funks moonsault looked to almost kill him and Brets leg breaker chair spot looked ungodly brutal. I enjoyed everything up to the Arn & David Flair bit...from then on, it was crap. **

Titans of Wrestling coming to an end
This makes me sad. Very much a favourite of mine, but I cant appreciate the time and effort it takes to put these shows out. I thank you all very much for one of the great podcasts.

[2000-01-04-AJW] Kumiko Maekawa vs Miho Wakizawa
I admire their dedication to making absolutely everything look as painful as is possible. What these ladies lacked in slickness they more than made up for in effort. Was very entertained by the whole affair, irrespective of its flaws. ***1/4

[2000-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 2000] Wild Pegasus vs Hiroyoshi Tenzan
What a great tough guy battle this was. Benoit with perhaps the stiffest chop in history, which could be heard in the cheap seats. Both guys went for it and made for a thoroughly enjoyable match ***1/2

[2000-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 2000] Shinjiro Otani & Tatsuhito Takaiwa vs Minoru Tanaka & Kendo Kashin
Really dug this match a lot! Fast paced, lots of action and a really nice close to the match. ***1/2

[2000-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 2000] Genichiro Tenryu vs Kensuke Sasaki
Cant say I loved this match - the concept of it was greater than the reality. I love guys going at it giving no shits at all, but for a relatively short match, the pace was a bit plodding. When it was good, it was really good and they did beat the snot out of each other. Tenryu's attempted Frankensteiner from the top rope was somewhat unexpected! Sasaki had a ***** mullet. Tenryu was ****** grumpy. The match was ***1/2

[2000-01-03-AJW] Etsuko Mita & Mima Shimoda vs Kayo Noumi & Miyuki Fujii
This is just a legalised mugging. Utterly brutal and so very very enjoyable! Cant argue with the ***1/2 rating. So much fun.

[2000-01-02-AJPW-New Year's Giant Series] Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama & Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs Yoshihiro Takayama & Takao Omori & Satoru Asako
This is a match about being tough. Everything is tough. The first 75% moves at a fairly glacial pace, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Clearly this match is building to bigger things ahead, and it certainly piques the interest of whats to come. The biggest problem I had was Kanemaru - not his work, or anything like that, but rather his wearing of a wife beater in the ring. Thats a big no no. All in all, a pretty enjoyable match. ***1/4

[1988-07-10-NWA-Great American Bash '88] The Fantastics vs Midnight Express
Cornette is just the best manager ever IMO. Could watch him work forever. These teams have such great chemistry. Not as great as the Clash match but still so much fun.

PTBN TLC Reaction Show (Featuring Kris Zellner, Johnny Sorrow, & Devon Hales)
I think Johnny's belching etc adds a certain ambiance to the whole affair.
