Posted June 9, 200916 yr comment_5440471 #181 8/14/97 January 18, 1985 The Cobra & Shunji Takano vs. Black tiger & Hiro Saito - Early on, I was enjoying this. Saito choking out Takano only to see Black Tiger get the receipt shortly afer it begun was pretty cool way to start. Pretty solid match going back and forth with no real fuck-ups or flaws. When Takano is in, Saito and Tiger take turns working him over but when cobra comes in, Tiger and Cobra have a juniors match in the middle of the tag which was pretty cool and sped things up. Really solid tag that deserves to move forward. I would complain about the shmoz ending but Saito and Ueda lay waste to the foes and I love me some Ueda. King Kong Bundy vs. Seiji Sakaguchi - Bundy is sporting the Anton LaVey cape. EVIL. Anyway, match wasn’t anything special. Antonio Inoki, Tatsumi Fujinami & Kengo Kimura vs. Strong Machine #1, Strong Machine #2 & Strong Machine #3 - The biggest problem I have is trying to figure out which Machine is which. It makes it hard to tell which one is damaged goods and which one needs to make the tag, etc. Having said that, they play the role of abusers rather well. Kimura played FIP for large portions of the match and I am ok with that. Match was thrown out but damn the Machines were fun here. Nomination.
