November 21, 201014 yr comment_5458527 I got these as definite extras. AJC 61 Abdullah the Butcher vs. The Sheik (12/1/80) I always dug Abby the insane babyface in Japan and this is what you would expect from these two as Sheik attacks Abby from behind with a chair then proceeds to beat his ass bloody for a while. Abby is drenched in blood but the tide would turn as Abby breaks out his fork and he goes insane on Sheik jabbing him all over his body with it especially the right arm which is a move out of the Dusty repertoire. The Great Mephisto would have enough and he shows up to jump Abby for the DQ so that brings out Tor Kamata who runs them off. This was a total juicefest and while not a nomination, this MUST go on the set as a definite extra. Real World Tag League: Abdullah the Butcher & Tor Kamata vs. The Great Mephisto & The Sheik (12/11/80) This was just a wild insane all over Sumo Hall brawl with no structure of a match just everyone beating each other bloody and the fans going nuts. The referee finally decides to count both teams out on the floor as there is no control here and again like the previous match this is a slam dunk extra. AJC 70 Dory & Terry Funk vs. Bruiser Brody & "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka (4/22/82) Robley is out with Brody as usual. This is hit and miss for me as sometimes this feels like just a match but then there are moments like on the floor where it gets better but there is no consistency. I'm with Will on the Snuka love here as he was just awesome at this stage of his career and Brody/Terry are fun here against each other and the crowd is fine here but this just misses something. The best part is the end of course when the Brody/Snuka team falls apart after Snuka hits his splash on Brody by mistake. Snuka then gets the best of them at first but then gets beaten bloody afterwards. I agree with Childs here as I think this is best served as an extra not a nomination. AJ TV 1/5 - 1/12/85 Onita retirement ceremony. AJC 125 Real World Tag League: Ted DiBiase & Stan "The Lariat" Hansen vs. Jesse Barr & "Mr. Puroresu" Harley Race (11/30/85) Short but fun match and it's always great seeing Race & Hansen square off with each other. The lariat on Barr was just ridiculous and definitely should be on the set as an extra. AJ TV 5/24 - 5/31/86 Killer Khan heel turn AJ TV 5/2 - 5/9/87 Raja Lion sparring session. AJC 168 The Great Kabuki vs. "Hustler" Rip Rogers (6/10/88) Rogers got over pretty big in his runs in Japan with his quasi gay gimmick. He did Adrian Street's act before the match with some differences and Budokan was going nuts for this. This was great fun as we saw both men do Fargo struts and Rip doing the Daniel LaRusso crane kick setup with the crowd loving it. The match wasn't that good but we gotta include the Rip Rogers act somewhere on the set as an extra. AJ TV 9/4 - 9/11/88 Brody tribute ceremony. AJ TV 2/18 - 2/25/89 AJ guys in Kansas City.

November 22, 201014 yr comment_5458535 OK, I can do 1 disc of extras to make it 15 discs total. I'll try to include as many extras as I can. Kris, for the Sheik matches, I just watched both and I think I am going to put Shiek-Abby on as the extra and drop the sheik tag so there is room for more extras.
November 23, 201014 yr comment_5458571 Childs... which one of these gets zapped and which one is saved? EXTRA: Jumbo/Tenryu/Ishikawa vs. Choshu/Masa Saito/Khan 1/24/85 EXTRA: Jumbo/Tenryu vs. Saito/Choshu 2/5/85
