Posted July 27, 201015 yr comment_5453649 Exact same pre-match story as the March show. I think the camera work was a lot better this time as it captured the nastiness of the crowd brawling a little better and Gabe caught better angles of Tajiri's nasty chair punt to Dreamer's head and Corino's cheapshot punch to Dreamer when he had Tajiri in the tarantula. On the other hand this did see Tajiri off on a baseball slide into crotch spot which led to a strange moment and didn't have the awesomeness of a crowd surf crutch being used as a weapon by Dreamer. Having said that I thought Dreamer was better here as he looked really on with his punches and there was more variation of the spots here than there was with the Kash v. Rhino matches. I hate to nominate too many matches that are so similar and this had a non-finish, but I think you ought to at least watch these as well to see which one you like better so I'm passing this one on too.
August 5, 201015 yr comment_5453944 Fuck, talk about Deja-Vu. Almost spot for spot beginnning as the last match except for Dreamer hooking in the turantula on Tajiri. That was cool. Agree with Dylan that the crowd brawling and Dreamer looked so much better here. Dreamer must have been all coked up here where he may have been on some ludes in the previous match. They also got rid of the wierd bell spot that didn't make sense to me in the first match. The finish was almost spot for spot identical to the last one but the non-finish hurts a little. However, the post-match with them brutalizing Dreamer with the cow bell more than makes up for it and the crowd goes NUTS for Sandman. This was goes on. The other one can stay off.

October 25, 201014 yr comment_5457662 Falls Count Anywhere Match: "Innovator of Offense" Tommy Dreamer vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri (4/13/00) Yeah to me this was way better than the 3/25 match in every way from the camera work to even the work in the match as Tommy worked harder here and had a better grasp of what he wanted to do. I agree that this was spot for spot identical to the 3/25 match but we couldn't see some of it so it didn't really matter to me. The end with Dreamer being killed and Sandman making the save was fun as well and this is a fairly easy nomination to me.
