Posted February 7, 200817 yr comment_5427921 All Japan Classics 120 British Bulldogs vs. Tiger Mask & Mighty Inoue (11/30/85) - This kind of reminds me of a high-end mid-80s WWf tag match. It isn’t just because the Bulldogs are in there but also because it really follows those rambling Northwest tag formulas where both teams throw out the big bombs, make a bunch of tags but you never get the sense that they are actually telling a story. I enjoyed this match and it was never boring. I just don’t know if I would call it good. Dory and Terry Funk vs. Terry Gordy & Art Crews (10/22/85) - This is pretty straightforward. Terry Gordy is basically wrestling a handicapped match because Crews brings nothing. I can watch Gordy all day but this wasn’t a high end match. Dory and Terry Funk vs. Road Warriors (10/19/85) - The thing that works best for this match is that the Roadies have Terry Funk on the other side bumping for them. Not much here besides that. Rick Martel vs. Stan Hansen (12/29/85) (AWA Title, Meadowlands NJ) - This one is clipped in the middle. I don’t know how much is clipped so I’ll let KHawk handle this one. Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenyru vs. Road Warriors (10/21/85) - Better than normal Roadies match that ends in a DQ. Still, on a set that I think will have a bunch o super tags, I am not nominating this.
February 7, 200817 yr Author comment_5427926 Oh well, I am not really digging the AWA matches as it is. That set will definitely need a dose of KHawk to keep it moving.
February 7, 200817 yr comment_5427929 Well, that match was technically at a PWUSA card so it would go in Other US anyway.
February 7, 200817 yr Author comment_5427931 We haven't established where PWUSA will go yet. Once again, I don't think we should make any judgment on AWA until Khawk joins the fray.
February 8, 200817 yr comment_5427955 Why not invite him in, if we are doing Portland/AWA after Memphis?
February 8, 200817 yr Author comment_5427962 I will. Last time I talked to him in PMs, he said he was busy but wanted to participate.
September 6, 201015 yr comment_5455358 The British Bulldogs (Dynamite Kid & Davey Boy Smith) vs. Mighty Inoue & Tiger Mask II (11/30/85) There was no real psychology here as it was basically you do moves then I do moves and they did keep the action moving along which was fine. This was a good match that if there was some type of psychology would've been better. Dory & Terry Funk vs. Art Crews & Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy (10/22/85) Who doesn't fit in here. Dory & Terry Funk vs. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) (10/19/85) I fucking loved watching Terry against the Roadies at Korakuen no less. The fans were hot and this was fun for what it was. Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta vs. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) (10/21/85) The fans were hot for this. The natives hit the Roadies with their big moves but it doesn't affect them. Roadies were total powerhouses here but of course this would go to a DQ when the steel chair was used.
