Awesome August! AJPW, Classic UK, CMLL, FMW
AJPW
Gladiator (Mike Awesome) & Maunakea Mosman vs Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama 08/21/99, 08/22 TV): 9 of 13 minutes shown. What an AWESOME release German suplex!!! Big moves & believable near falls. RECOMMENDED
Classic UK Wrestling
Vic Faulkner vs Steve Grey (08/25/76): 15 minutes of technical wrestling and humor. People use the term "work rate" as a pejorative but I don't think about it that way. So when I say this is a work rate match, I mean that as a testament to Vic & Steve's athleticism and technical ability. I LOVED This!!

Pete Roberts vs Wayne Bridges: Not sure on the date...so I will add it in 😋 17 minute match. Good to Very Good fight with the bigger Bridges trying to rough house Pete Roberts. Pete is no push over and employed his technical prowess (and a bit of roughness) to stay in the match. Liked this one.
CMLL
Torneo Cibernetico (08/20/99 TV): 9 minutes of TNA X-Division-like action. Not a ton of depth but plenty of entertaining wrestling. Some eliminations came a lil too quickly though. Participants include: Olimpico, Satanico, Rey Bucanero, Ringo Mendoza, Shocker, Solar, Super Astro, Tony Rivera, Ultimo Guerrero & Zumbido.
Mephisto vs Sagrado (08/07/09): Lighting match, 1 fall. Definitely Recommend this one for old TNA heads (again). Under 10 minutes of crazy moves & fun action - this one had a sweet finish too!
FMW
Hayabusa vs W*ING Kanemura (08/25/95): 11 minute match but this was good stuff. Kanemura was working over Hayabusa's back with holds, chair strikes, you name it. Bird Boy found an opening but W*ing wasn't going to give up that easily. Fun stuff. They would go to top this but there's something fundamentally good about what they did here. There's no bloat and they excellently incorporate chairs, tables and wrestling moves into their match. Definitely Recommend this to ECW & FMW fans if you're still out there!
Gladiator (Mike Awesome) vs Masato Tanaka (08/25/95): I didn't know that they fought each other so soon. Nevertheless Awesome's explosive power and Tanaka's iron toughness were on display. I didn't recognize any sequences that they'd develop so this is refreshing if you've seen most of their matches (Japan and US). If you're interested, then go check this out! You won't be disappointed. 8 of 11 minutes shown.
UWA
Enrique Vera/Villano III/Tigre Canadiense vs Signo/Black Power/Negro Navarro (08/22/92): 2/3 falls where the match just kept on moving along - good action, comedy and a nice pace. Good times 👍
Seems like folks nowadays want to watch wrestling that they don't like and tell you how much they don't like it. What a bummer & a drag, man. Makes you feel stupid for liking what you like 😕 If you're not having a good time watching wrestling then watch something you like!!! Life is too short. If you dug some of the stuff I've recommended or at least enjoy reading my takeaways, thanks! I appreciate it! Hope you are having a good time!
