[2000-03-27-BJW] Tomoaki Honma vs Abdullah Jr Kobayashi
I was pleasantly surprised by the match itself. Both guys worked really hard and built to some good nearfalls before the time limit draw. Kobayashi's selling was very good. Ultimately, this is a bad spot for both guys because of the lack of heat. Tough to do a great garbage match with big nearfalls in front of so few people making so little noise.

[2000-03-26-BJW] Tomoaki Honma vs Jun Kasai
Really interesting match. It felt like a New Japan young lion vs a veteran match with weapon shots. They did a great job of engaging the crowd with nearfalls. Honma had some fantastic offense especially the brainbuster. Kasai sold well and had fire on his comebacks. Interested to see more Big Japan after this match.

[2000-03-21-CMLL] Tony Rivera vs Mr Mexico (Hair vs Hair)
Mr. Mexico looks so good in the clips. High intensity when he is on offense. The clipping makes it hard to judge how good the match is but getting a chance to see Mr. Mexico here is worthwhile.

[2000-03-20-NJPW] Jushin Liger vs Don Frye
Frye has a look and instincts for pro wrestling. He does a great job keeping the leg work on Liger interesting. His strikes look good too. Match loses steam because of Liger's spotty selling.'Ok match but seeing Frye in this match compared to the Sasaki match was impressive, he totally gets it.

[2000-03-17-AAA] Perro Aguayo Jr & Heavy Metal & Hector Garza & La Parka Jr vs Espectro Jr & Pirata Morgan & Sangre Chicana & El Texano
Fun stuff. The rudo team was great all around. The brawling in the first fall was very good and intense. I liked how they mixed in some more traditional sequences in the second fall before going back to the brawling for the finish. Texano busting open Perro Jr. looked great. Best thing from AAA so far.

[2000-03-14-CMLL] Blue Panther & Black Warrior & Mr Mexico vs Tony Rivera & Ringo Mendoza & Emilio Charles Jr
Absolutely outstanding. The fueds in CMLL are so intense. Rivera and Mr. Mexico spent every second of this match attacking each other. Everything they did looked crisp and violent. The other 4'guys did a very good job of staying out of the way and providing interesting sequences between the brawling. The third fall dive sequence was great. Best low blow I've ever seen by Mr. Mexico at the finish. Loved this match.

Scruffy match due to some poorly timed spots but interesting. Hopefully more minis matches show up.

[2000-03-11-AJPW] Jun Akiyama vs Kentaro Shiga
Akiyama was superb. This match structure is great but tough to pull off if the wrestler dominating can't get across the lack of fear they have of the other wrestler. Akiyama was sending a message through Shiga. Had enough hope spots to remain interesting and Akiyama was great at selling, which has been his strong suit this year. The finish was perfect. Fun match that showcased Akiyama's versatility.

[2000-03-04-Michinoku Pro] CIMA & Judo Suwa & Sumo Fuji vs Great Sasuke & Magnum Tokyo & Jinsei Shinzaki
Crazy Max is outstanding in the clips here. They are such a polished rude act at this point. Shinzaki was fantastic as the ass kicker babyface. Would have loved to see the whole match because this is by far the best of these 6 mans I've seen so far. Can't wait to see more Crazy Max.

[2000-03-04-AJW] Etsuko Mita & Mima Shimoda vs Tomoko Watanabe & Kumiko Maekawa (Cage)
Wild, sloppy, and highly entertaining match. The double climb out stipulation was used really well. LCO's sloppiness and no-selling worked as a positive in that it made the match feel more unpredictable. Maekawa and Watanabe were great babyfaces. The finish was really bad which hurt the match. Not near the level of Kong/KAORU but a fun match that with more focus and a better finish could have been great.

[2000-03-02-BJW] Mens Teoh vs Masayoshi Motegi
Basic match done in slow motion. The crowd does not help. Teoh brought nothing which was disappointing.

[2000-03-02-BJW] Gedo & Jado & Kintaro Kanemura vs Great Kojika & Ryuji Yamakawa & The Winger
Really disappointing considering the wrestlers involved. Lacked the wildness a match like this should have had. The sparse crowd didn't help. The bodyslam spot on The Winger from the apron was really nasty looking.
