Posted December 9, 200816 yr comment_5436304 DVD #24 11/19/82 Dick Murdock vs. Killer Khan - Decent slugfest but it ended before it could develop into anything much. Fujinami/Sakaguchi vs. Dino Bravo/Adrian Adonis - Bravo did virtually nothing, which I guess, might have been a blessing. Adrian neeeded Murdoch to have a standout tag match. Inoki/Hogan vs. Rene Goulet/Andre the Giant - Some good early exchanges between Andre and Hogan. Things ground to a halt when Hogan put a bearhug on him for several minutes and they failed to work any interesting escape attempts. The match had a weird flow as Andre worked pretty much the whole thing and then Inoki hit his enziguiri for the win as soon as Goulet tagged in. I guess it makes sense when facing a force of nature to take advantage of the other guy. But it didn't make for very good entertainment. 11/26/82 Fujinami/Sakaguchi vs. Rene Goulet/Andre the Giant - Fujinami and Andre often came up with fun stuff. In this case, Fujinami literally ran around the ring until Andre was out of breath. Once he toppled, Fujinami and Sakaguchi both slapped armbars on him. That was the best stuff in the match though as Andre quickly flew into an uncontrollable rage that led to a double countout. Killer Khan/Tiger Toguchi vs. Adrian Adonis/Dino Bravo - Just nothing to get excited about here. Lots of lumbering around and clubbing. Inoki/Hogan vs. Dick Murdoch/Masked Superstar- One of those unfortunate matches in which Inoki took a bunch of punishment, then hit one suplex and got the pin. God, the '82 tag league was shitty.
