Posted February 9, 200817 yr comment_5427988 Les Thornton vs. Gran Hamada - NWA Jr. Heavyweight Title (5/12/82) This was shockingly bad, this match up was probably the reason I bought this DVD, but both guys are on completely different pages. They blow the first two moves of the match and never get back on track. The mat stuff looked good, but Thornton seemed unable to work with Hamada once they stood up. Stinker Seiji Sakaguchi/Tatsumi Fujinami vs. "Bad News" Allen Coage/Perro Aguayo (5/26/82) I was hoping for some Judo standoffs with Bad News and Sakaguchi, but didn't get any. The Aguayo v. Fujinami stuff was fun, but this wasn't much of a match Black Tiger vs. Tiger Mask - Jr. Heavyweight Title (5/26/82) This isn't my type of wrestling, but I have to give them credit for doing it well. Most Tiger Mask matches you are just waiting for him to blow something. Here all of the complex exchanges were hit cleanly. In fact they almost looked like two indy guys who trained with each other, just a level of smoothness you don't normally see. Rocco is so quick and has a bunch of cool kip ups and bumps. I don't neccesarily want a NJ set with a ton of Tiger Mask matches, but this belongs.
