Great segments overall. buddy Landel does a great beatdown which is sort of rare in SMW. He then cuts an amazing promo looking like a big star. The Cornette/Ross/Rock N Roll segment was glorious and the evidence against Cornette being trustworthy really is adding up and Ross is his sarcastic best in the segment.

Another good match that told a clear story. Yammamo was the clear underdog so he has to ambush and unload the arsenal to take out Maeda. He has some success and has Maeda reeling but in the end Maeda is able to overcome the onslaught and defeat Yammamo. Not as complex or well building as previous match, but also a joy to watch.

2 quick questions on this actual show. 1. did this show run head to head with the All Japan show because if so that was two nights in Japan this year (4/16) being the other with two pretty major shows going head to head 2. What was the reasoning for the tag pairings for this tournament with the double Inoue's split up? First match finish looks brutal and I wonder if the whole match is any good. Second match was great with Aja looking like a monster stretching out Totyota, Bennett trying really hard, and a beautiful comeback and finish for Toyota. If the first match is good and adds to the story, I say it is a supplement contender since this match is comfortably in my top 100 for the year. Final match is fine but not as good as second match. More spotty but less structure and emotional investment. Even though the beginning sequence between Takano and Kyoko featured no selling it was a nice "partners" face off spot. Good finish to fun night of wrestling.

Good match with puzzling finish in how it played out. If kawada would have been sucessful on 3/95 then it would have been forgivable. I am starting to think that 1995 was really when the All Japan booking faltered based on the follow up of 1994. Baba looked less spry and game here than he did in other performances this year and the match suffered as a result. I prefer Kobashi over Taue in their respective Baba/Hansen matches.

Thought this was awesome. Misawa in real peril and his ranking as the ace feels in jeopardy, Misawa/Kobashi working amazing as a team, Ace hanging with great submissions and a moonsault, and Doc capping off a great year. The ending Misawa comeback is awesome and so was the build and aftermath of the backdrop driver by Doc. Great match.

The Cornette/Rock n Roll segment was great and Cornette did a great job of explaining his stance and at least the Rock N Rolls acted suspicious like the viewer and were not completely trustworthy like we have seen in USWA from time to time. The Cactus promo with the rhyming was my favorite from his in SMW so far. The Gansters responding is nice to continue the feud and build up anticipation as I don't know where they were going with the angle.
