December 19, 201014 yr Author comment_5460684 Much slower-paced and mat-based than your typical Michinoku Pro match during this time, which on its own isn't necessarily bad, but just make sure your expectations are set coming in. It's not at all a hidden classic, and is really just an okay match at best. I'm also thinking the match listings I've always seen for this show may be off, because Sabu isn't in this match. Way better Michinoku Pro to come.

Way better Michinoku Pro to come. Every match list I've seen for this over the last 10 years has said Sabu but it's actually Dick Togo working as SATO in the match.
January 6, 201114 yr comment_5461624 I can somewhat understand making that mistake on paper, but who on earth could watch the match and do it? If you know who Sabu is, you know that ain't him.
January 13, 201114 yr comment_5461944 Tiger Mask's phantom bump for Shiryu's clotheline is one of the funniest thing I have seen in a pro wrestling match in quite some time. It's also funny see all the English senior citizens in a crowd for a M-Pro match.
January 24, 201114 yr comment_5462919 Am I hearing things or did the crowd start chanting "wanker" at Tiger Mask? That's pretty funny. Best thing about the match was Teioh doing his Terry Funk tribute spots. And Shiryu almost killing some poor old woman diving into the crowd.
July 6, 201312 yr comment_5550143 No Sabu here. Yes, Teoh doing Terry Funk was the highlight. Tiger Mask and Shiryu totally missing on the clothesline was funny. That wasn’t even close.
December 28, 201410 yr comment_5647139 Smarky crowd over in England, as they do the "SAS-KAY! *clap* *clap* *clap*" chant right from the start. Not a bad little match at all--the tiny ring probably makes the more elaborate spots impractical, but they make do with what they have. Actually this serves as more evidence that the Michinoku Pro guys were far more than spot monkeys--they had strong commands of the basics: mat wrestling, heel/face work, how to build a match, comedy, etc.
January 10, 201510 yr comment_5648834 Parv, what do you have to say for your countryman here as they exhibited every crowd reaction you detest. Good match but again really a showcase. Sato continues to shine in these roles. ***
October 6, 20177 yr comment_5816038 Cool to see some 90s British smarks. Definitely on the lower end of MPro tags, I don't know if I'd even call it good if not for the dives.
