Nasty Boys vs. Kenta Kobashi & Akira Taue (11/17/89)

- Nothing horrible. Nothing great. No vote.

 

Doug Furnas & Dan Kroffat vs. Toshiaki Kawada & Samson Fuyuki (11/17/89)

- This one surprised me because it goes against everything I thought about the earlier matches. For the first twelve minutes or so, you didn’t see any real storylines develop. I thought it might have taken a completely awesome turn when the Can-Ams pulled a table over the rail and I was hoping for some good old-fashioned brawling. They do show some hints later on when Kroffat throws a metal case at Fuyuki’s head. For the large middle portion, Fuyuki is your FIP but I just am not into this match as I was the earlier ones. As it stands, I have no need to nominate it but you guys may feel differently. It just seemed like guys trading moves and doing a greatest hits version of their previous matches with a less than enthused crowd.

 

Abdullah the Butcher & Tiger Jeet Singh vs. Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu (11/17/89)

- No

The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs & Jerry Sags) vs. Kenta Kobashi & Akira Taue (11/17/89)

 

Funny seeing Nasties here.

 

Real World Tag League: The Can-Am Express (Doug Furnas & Dan Kroffat) vs. Footloose (Ricky Fuyuki & Toshiaki Kawada) (11/17/89)

 

This did feel like the house show version of their awesome 3 match series they had earlier and maybe the reason for that was they knew they were going to go 30 minutes and didn't want to go all out so early. This isn't to say this was a bad match because it wasn't as both teams worked hard as usual and there was some really good stuff here but compared to the other 3 matches, this just doesn't make the cut.

 

Real World Tag League: Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Abdullah the Butcher & Tiger Jeet Singh (11/17/89)

 

At least this had a clean finish and the post match was fun but other than that this was nothing.
