I think I am beginning to feel the weight of the Machines gimmick but slightly less than Childs. Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch vs. Kengo Kimura & Kantaro Hoshino - North-South just abused Hoshino. However, Hoshino isn’t Fujinami so his short spurts of offense aren’t nearly as compelling and when Kinura was the weak link in the other tag between the two and he is now the strong partner, the match loses some of its luster. Are there elements of other North-South matches included? Sure, but that is like saying there is always a Sharpshooter in Fujinami matches. Well, no shit. I enjoyed this but not as much as the Manila match and it doesn’t make the cut. Antonio Inoki vs. Billy Jack Hayes - Nope. Billy Jack is such a bad wrestler.
