Was super excited to see younger Tamura and this was a terrific match overall. Tamura is able to get glimpses of having an advantage but falls into the unadvantageous strategy of matching his 1 point rope break offense vs. Takada hitting the knockout blows for three points. Tamura finally gets some sustained offense at the finish but it is too little too late and he fails pray to one last strike exchange to lose. ****

This did have a lot of schtick that detracted a bit but this was a good showcase to me and it is fun to see really young Rey show what he has. That dive sequence was great and completely out of control feeling. Finish felt a little flat. Good intro to these guys but I hope for more substance in the rematch. ***1/2

The unease that is going on with all the promotions going after one another has made this stuff a blast to watch transpire. This was great as the bodies come in wreaking havoc with Cornette as the ring leader like he can only be. Cornette takes a run at Watts and I would have loved to have seen how this would have been played out.

Lawler points out all off Doink's hijinks so far and says he is sick of it. Bruno comes out and we get honestly maybe the promo of the year so far from Fink of all people. He was amazing here being dirsrespectful to southern people and putting Bruno over in the eyes of the fans. I am loving all of this.

Again that this is so effective and the perfect role for Duggan to play at this point in his career. The commentary here is great with Duggan getting cheered on but eventually he doesn't have enough in the tank and then gets his ass kicked to Vince losing it. Still weird to think about that Raw was in its infancy and this big time angle was on Superstars.

Awesome match from the staredown to the finish. It went the perfect length and only furthered the personal vendetta of all involved. I was impressed to see Muto be so hateful and show a lot of fire and Hara and Ishikawa as the old, stubborn defenders of Tenryu are playing their role well. I love this feud so far and it feels like it is just gearing up. ****

Agree this was too long at points but man were some spots and sequences great. I understand the idea of working a draw but the best 18 minutes from this match are probably the best ECW match there ever was. I think Scorpio is fitting in ECW well and producing some neat promos and now matches and he reigned in some aspects of Sabu's act here while allowing him to retain his aura. Looking forward to more ECW stuff which has been a rarity of me going through the years. ***1/2
