Posted June 4, 201015 yr comment_5451589 Jumbo Tsuruta/Genichiro Tenryu vs. Tiger Jeet Singh/Killer Tim Brooks (9:52, DQ) OK, so nobody is surprised that this ended in a DQ. BUT, I was surprised because it actually totally ruled. Singh and Brooks rushed their counterparts before the bell, and they ended up isolating Tenryu, stomping him and choking him and gouging his eyes, and with Tiger throwing one of the best punches I’ve seen during nominations so far. Brooks hung him in the tree of woe while Singh choked him with a rope. After a few minutes of this Jumbo runs over and starts beating the shit out of Singh on the floor. Singh throws a nice punch, Jumbo posts him and they head to the crowd, where Jumbo flings him into the chairs. Singh didn’t seem like he expected it, and took out a few people (and naturally a few chairs) on his way down. Tenryu eventually tags out and Jumbo moves in and just puts a stomping on Brooks. Tiger comes in, chucks the ref to the floor, Mitsuo Momota is wearing short shorts, and we go to the DQ. I dug this much more than the standard Singh “cheat and mug to the crowd” fare, as I really bought into the Singh/Jumbo hate. NOMINATE!
June 4, 201015 yr comment_5451610 Might have to rewatch this one because I was rather dismissive ... "Typically pointless cheating and brawling match involving Singh."
June 5, 201015 yr Author comment_5451642 It's not a slam dunk, to be sure, but I thought it was mighty fun and had more substance and underlying hatred than most Singh matches. Most seem pretty mindless but Jumbo really seemed to make things make sense, really brought some story to the match. Plus I was surprised to see them pick apart Tenryu for so much of the match. Usually these type of affairs are quite scatterbrained but this one had a shocking amount of focus for its 10 minute duration.

October 2, 201015 yr comment_5456500 Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Killer Brooks & Tiger Jeet Singh (8/29/85) Yeah this wasn't very good as it was your average Singh brawlfest.
