Posted May 27, 201015 yr comment_5451337 Chris Adams vs. Kabuki (Dallas) - Early on, both men teasing the power of the kick. Adams capitalizes first with an enziguiri. Kabuki hits a thrust kick and works a headlock. Adams escapes and clamps on the head scissors. Both guys battle and work in and out of these two holds. It picks up with Adams missing a flying body press and Kabuki teasing the kick. He hits a thrust kick that sends Adams over the top rope. The angle protected the move a bit because it seemed like Adams jumped a fraction too soon. Adams turns the table shortly after and throws Kabuki out on the table. Then when Kabuki tries to go back into the ring, he superkicks him back outside. This brawling portion of the match is really fun. The stretch run was super hot with Adams chasing Sunshine only to be met with a Kabuki thrust kick for the loss. The first few minutes were solid but unremarkable. After the flying body press, this was HOT! Nomination. I don't think this is the same match as one of the others according to the description.
June 16, 201015 yr comment_5452074 The Great Kabuki vs. "Gentleman" Chris Adams (7/4/85) Kabuki wears gold pants here which is a nice touch. Adams would hit an enzuigiri early to get the advantage but Kabuki followed with his thrust kick to even the odds. Both men trade the advantage early on the ground but it would pick up as Adams missed a reverse body press from the middle rope then Kabuki would connect with a Superkick sending Adams over the top rope on the ringside table which partly broke. Kabuki would then start firing shots until Adams pulled him through the ropes where they would brawl on the broken table. Adams then connected with a Superkick as Kabuki tried to get back in the ring and followed up with more brawling on the floor. Kabuki would take the match back to the ring where he made his comeback but Adams would cut him short and broke out a piledriver for a nearfall using the ropes but Sunshine would pull his feet off and as he chased her, Kabuki landed with his Superkick and beat Adams clean. Adams would hit his Superkick after the match and threw Sunshine down but Kabuki would run him off before he did anything. Another very fun match between these two with great heat and this definitely moves forward.
June 22, 201015 yr comment_5452223 Aside from his winning thrust kick, I thought Kabuki's kicks looked a little weak here, which was very mildly problematic what with this being "The Battle of the Kicks" and all. All his other offense looked good, though, and we get all the other positives associated with babyface Kabuki, so I don't think it hindered the match much. Adams is Adams, and these two really knew how to work with each other. This moves forward.
