Posted May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503831 Went through the listings under the All Japan section and saw that these looked like AWA matches from AJ Classics that happened in America. Have all of these been watched? Do I need to take any of these discs to school tomorrow and put eyes to any of them? All Japan Classics 03 Jumbo Tsuruta v. Rick Martel (AWA Title in Minneapolis, 05/13/84) All Japan Classics 06 3. Jumbo Tsuruta v. Greg Gagne (AWA Title, 04/19/84) 4. Ken Patera/Jerry Blackwell v. Crusher/Greg Gagne (AWA Tag, 03/15/84) 5.

May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503837 Jumbo Tsuruta v. Rick Martel (AWA Title in Minneapolis, 05/13/84) This is the Martel title win. Pretty positive it's nominated and in Love. All Japan Classics 06 3. Jumbo Tsuruta v. Greg Gagne (AWA Title, 04/19/84) Don't think this has been watched. Pretty sure it's on youtube, so if you watch it I'll second it with my thoughts and Kris can as well. 4. Ken Patera/Jerry Blackwell v. Crusher/Greg Gagne (AWA Tag, 03/15/84) Yes. Nominated by Kris. I oppose it. You break the tie. 5. Jumbo Tsuruta v. Nick Bockwinkel (AWA Title, 03/24/84) (52) Not sure. I know they had one JIP match on watched and didn't nominate. This may have been it. 2. Jumbo Tsuruta v. Nick Bockwinkle (AWA Title, Minneapolis, MN on 06/22/80) See above. 2. Blackjack Mulligan and Lanza vs. Nick Bockwinkel/Bobby Heenan (03/15/84 in St. Lake City, UT) Watched. 4. Jerry Blackwell/Ken Patera v. Blackjack Mulligan/Jerry Lawler (AWA Tag Title, 03/04/84 in Chicago, IL) (102) Nominated twice and merged into one thread. You need to throw in thoughts but I suspect this will end up on the set. 1. Billy Robinson/Brad Rheingans v. Steve Regal/Kevin Kelly (03/04/84 in Chicago, IL) I don't recall this offhand though it sounds vaguely familiar. May have been on a World Pro disc. Knock yourself out if you want. 2. Jumbo Tsuruta v. BlackJack Lanza (AWA Title, 03/04/84 in Chicago) Watched 3. Jumbo Tsuruta v. Billy Robinson (AWA Title, 03/11/84 in Green Bay, WI) Just got put in the love section after Kris and I watched it the other day. Jerry Blackwell/Ken Patera v. Greg Gagne/Jim Brunzell, 03/11/84 in Green Bay, WI) I THINK this was reviewed off of a Blackwell disc but could be wrong. May be worth a watch. 5. Jerry Blackwell/Ken Patera v. Crusher/Greg Gagne (AWA Tag, 03/15/84 in Salt Lake City, UT) Double listing. See above reference. 6. Jumbo Tsuruta v. Jim Brunzell (AWA Title, 03/15/84 in Salt Lake City, UT) (107) Just got put in the Love section after Kris and I watched it the other day. 2. Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Rick Martel (AWA Title, 05/13/84 in St. Paul, MN) (120) Nominated by me and needs to be seconded but is basically a stone cold lock. Rick Martel v. Stan Hansen (AWA Title, 12/29/85 in Meadowlands NJ) This is the title switch and is really short JIP IIRC.
May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503859 Shit I forgot there was AWA on the early ones. I'll check them today.
May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503863 Jumbo v. Gagne is from Japan and thus ineligible. Now that I think about it that may be the case on both of the Bock v. Jumbo matches too
May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503869 Yep the Flyers v. Sheiks match on here is from Blackwell 7. I went no nomination on it. The only question marks are the Jumbo v. Bock matches - assuming they aren't from Japan
May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503877 3/24 is from Japan. 6/22/80 is from the Minneapolis Auditorium. The Hansen-Martel title change is missing about 5 minutes after the initial lock-up on the longest version (the graphic on the one version says JIP after I think 5 minutes, accounting for about 30 seconds of the opening after ring intros are shown IIRC). Depending on how long it is after that there may be more than half there..it wasn't the longest match to be sure. Will, the Martel disc I sent you will have a version of it on there that may be the long one, I can't remember.
May 25, 201213 yr comment_5503880 ...also this possible glitch was identified in the "finished!" thread a few weeks ago.
