<p>
	I rate and comment numerous wrestling matches. I don't pretend it's interesting or well developed. It's just for my own enjoyment.                    
</p>

<p>
	<strong>El Hijo Del Santo vs Espanto Jr - UWA - 4/10/1988 </strong>
</p>

<p>
	Pleasantly surprising match. The finish is thrilling because there are loads of nearfalls, it's difficult to figure out the winner.<strong> ****1/4   </strong>     <strong>                               </strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Devil Masami vs Shinobu Kandori - JWP - 7/14/1988</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Captivating match. There is blood at the end. There is a struggle throughout the match. <strong>***1/2</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Carlos Colon vs Hercules Ayala - Fire Match - WWC - 9/10/88  </strong>
</p>

<p>
	It's not an interesting and thrilling match at all. Pathetic. <strong>1/2*</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Tatsumi Fujinami, Keichii Yamada, Shiro Koshinaka, Yoshiaki Fujiwara &amp; Kengo Kimura vs Hiroshi Saito, Kuniaki Kobayashi, Super Strong Machine, Masa Saito &amp; Riki Choshu - Elimination Match - NJPW - 9/12/1988</strong>
</p>

<p>
	It's an awesome match, thrilling from the beginning to the end. The end with Fujinami, Choshu and Saito is really great. A must see.  <strong>****3/4</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>El Dandy vs  Pirata Morgan - Hair vs Hair Match - EMLL - 9/23/1988</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Really nice. Everything seems fluid and natural. El Dandy is very good. So is Pirata Morgan.<strong> </strong><strong>****</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat - WCW - 3/18/1989</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Those two wrestlers really have a humengous chemistry. Not as good as the chi-town, clash, wrestlewar or even 94 Spring Strampede and  94 Saturday Night matches though. <strong>****</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>El Satanico vs Sangre Chicana - EMLL - 5/26/1989</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Disappointing seeing as the two wrestlers involved. It's not a good match, there's nothing really interesting. It's slightly better when Satanico is on offense but it's not exceptionnal either. <strong>**</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Masakatsu Funaki vs Tatsuo Nakano - UWF - 7/24/1989 </strong>
</p>

<p>
	It's really thrilling. <strong>****1/4</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Rick Rude vs Ultimate Warrior - WWF - 8/28/1989</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Whether you like The Warrior or not, you can't deny his entry is electrifying and thrilling. He goes really well with his theme song. Those two wrestlers are known for having a good chemistry together. Anyway, this match is really pleasant. The commentators Tony and Jesse really do a good job. <strong>****</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>The Rockers vs Fabulous Rougeaus - WWF - 10/10/1989 ****1/2 </strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Atsushi Onita &amp; Tarzan Goto vs Kendo Nagasaki &amp; Masanobu Kurisu - Texas Death Match - FMW - 4/1/1990</strong><br>
	Fun Hardcore match. <strong>***1/4 </strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Atlantis vs Blue Panther - EMLL - 8/9/1991 ***1/4</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Jushin Liger vs El Samurai - NJPW - 4/30/1992</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Extremely disappointing match. The two men tearing off each other masks is the only compelling thing. <strong>*</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Stan Hansen vs Toshiaki Kawada - AJPW - 2/28/1993 ***3/4</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Toshiaki Kawada, Akira Taue &amp; Takao Omori vs Stan Hansen, John Nord &amp; Brian Costello - AJPW - 1/25/1994 **1/2</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Toshiaki Kawada, Akira Taue &amp; Masanobu Fuchi vs Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi &amp; Giant Baba - AJPW - 1/29/1994</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Unfortunately, there are some boring parts.<strong> ***</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Tsuyoshi Koshaka vs Volk Han - RINGS - 8/24/1996 ****1/2</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Kiyoshi Tamura vs Volk Han - RINGS - 9/26/1997 </strong>
</p>

<p>
	Amazing.<strong> ****3/4</strong>
