    As a rule when you start a statement with "Without wanting to sound like Resident Evil", it is probably best to just not write what you were thinking about.

    Yawn. Six years on and you still have nothing better to do than try and incite reactions about offhand comments that have long faded into the past for anyone else. You really are a tragic little man. I am always amused at the "nothing better to do" criticism, it took me about a minute to make the comment. I can spend the rest of my day doing other things. I read this board, I saw you posted, I thought to my self before opening the post "I bet he is taking a shot at a black wrestler." Voila, that is what you were doing, El-P was responding to you like a reasonable person, figured I should save him some time by pointing out that you aren't. I enjoy taking shots at you because you are a vile shit, so I did it. It isn't an obsession, not something I spend a ton of time doing, I am at work, have five minutes to kill, don't go to DC punk shows anymore, so this is my only chance to kick a Nazi. You never thought the reason you didn't root for him is that you considered him a loathsome ape leeching off the work of hard working white people? You claim to have some sort of awakening, but certainly you were still deeply in your Stormfront days when you were watching ECW.

    Anarchistxx thinks blacks are subhuman, so he might have just been watching Scorpio and just wishing for a noose and a tree.

    These kind of Puro gang fight 10 man are one my favorite types of wrestling matches. This is 2/3 falls rather then elimination style and goes nice and long so each guy gets to stretch out a bit. We know what the WAR guys bring to the table, they are going to try to kick, stomp and punch divots in your skull. Tenryu is probably the greatest all time at throwing cheap shots, and he is constantly cracking folks from behind.The NJ guys really shine here as well. Fujinami and Iizuka probably take the biggest beating and both are masterful at receiving and firing back. Kido isn't in as much, but he pulls off some awesome flash armbars, really putting over his suddeness. Hase has a weird cool way of eating offense, I loved his sell of Fuyuki's clotheslines, and is great at catching people in sudden suplexes. Choshu is the BMOC, and he is as good an Ace as there has ever been. He gets the pins in both falls, as is so great at coming in and cleaning house.

    Pretty much exactly what you want out of this match up on paper. Hashimoto and Tenryu have a couple of nasty little scuffles building up their big singles matches, while the lumpy pissed off duo of Hara and Ishikawa mug the fuck out of Nogami. One thing we definitely got out of the 80's New Japan set is that Akira Nogami will take as big an asswhipping as anyone in wrestling history. After we go back and forth for a while, the WAR team kick his ass up and down the ring. Hashimoto isn't in this match a ton, but after Nogami gets pinned he attacks Tenryu and looks like he tries to take his eye out. More of a teaser then a great match, but a nice teaser.

    Shootstyle is this weird style where you can be really great right out of the blocks. This is possibly Usuda's first match and he was already awesome. Greco is really fun here too, as he has really athletic mat work. Really great flipping counters and attempts. Usuda wasn't kicking the shit out people like he would in BattlArts, but his mat stuff was super too, I especially loved the double hammerlock submission. This was a draw that didn't feel like a draw and made me want to see the rematch badly.

    I thought it was worked less like a lucha techinico v. technico match, then a face v. face technical U.S. match, where you were waiting for the tempers to flare. You almost needed Bobby Heenan calling this and rooting for one guy to punch the other in the mouth. It did kind of end before it really broke down, which almost gave the match kind of a cock teasing feel. You wanted them to break down, and they never fully did. Man was alot of the stuff spectacular though, Malenko will have at least three spectacular things per match that I have never seen before.
  13. Phil Schneider
    This was a really great show, and this was the best match on the show. This is Ishikawa's first main event, and he is fully in the top young native role previously held by Takada in UWF and Funaki earlier in PWFG. The young native v. top outsider match is a staple match in these promotions and Ishikawa is really better at it then either of his predecessors. The match opens with a really great stare down, and you get a big match buzz even before the bell, Koslowki dominates most of the match with beautiful throws, but each of Ishikawa's comebacks is really milked for the most effect. I bought all the near falls, and Koslowki's backslide into a choke was totally awesome. Just a total blast, and Ishikawa feels like a made guy.

    This was great, this might have been Bart Vale's last professional wrestling match, and it was a heck of a swan song. Joe Malenko, much like Dean has a standard match, and it is up to his opponents to insert themselves into it. Vale does a really nice job of working into a Joe Malenko match, and adds some Bart Vale touches. Malenko comes up with some just awesome ways to twist and turn Vale's bodyparts, but Vale also has great counters and reversals.
  15. Phil Schneider
    Teddy Atlas will often talk about a fighter "doing just enough to lose the fight." Early in this match Ishikawa was doing just enough to lose. He is moving away, attempting a leg takedown, but really much more concerned with avoiding Vale then trying an attack. Then as the match goes on, there are a couple of big moments where Ishikawa lets it all out and the flurries are much more impressive because of how tentative he was earlier. Ishikawa was really amazing as guy growing before our eyes.

    I was totally blown away by this match. Berto is a guy who we knew had some fun spots and really great sperm, but nothing he did before really prepared us for a match this good. In my previous review I had talked about liking one dimensional kicker Jerry Flynn better then multifaceted Jerry Flynn, but here was the match where he put it all together. The mat work was great, I especially loved this crossarmbreaker spot, where he was able to shift his body and hold on to the hold even as Berto was rolling him around the ring. He also had a great rear naked choke off of a missed high kick. Then when he unleashed the stand up, you had some great back and forth exchanges with Berto, who's goofy Ninja kicks actually landed well
  17. Phil Schneider
    This was so much fun, just a pair of true maestros pulling pushing and twisting each other until someone gives. This wasn't an exchange of holds, it was a constant battle by both men to find some advantage or defense. This was really a Malenko show, as he controlled with great takedowns, and constant attacking, with Fujiwara really focused on defense. Of course Fujiwara is the greatest defensive pro-wrestler of all time, so the defense stuff ruled.

    This is the cliff notes version of a Lawler v. Dundee classic. It is a studio match, No DQ, for the Unified title. I really liked the way they used the No DQ stip, as both guys would use chokes and thumbs to the eye, Lawler even breaks out his illegal in TN piledriver. Downtown Bruno did a great job telling the wrestlers what they could and couldn't do. Of course it is Lawler v. Dundee, so you get everything you would expect from that match up, awesome sneaky punches by both guys, big bumps by Lawler (he takes his through the ropes side bump to the floor and a posting), Dundee's running clips to the knee, the strap drop. I always love how Dundee deals with the Lawler strap, he never begs off or freaks out, he just doubles his effort, like he is thinking "If I hit this fuck hard enough he will put that strap back up." Finish comes with blown hubcap interference from the Nation of Domination. Such a nifty short match, I really wish we had MSC footage from this period, because I imagine their arena matches were class.

    Sure, the point I was making is that current WWE has those guys too. Zach Ryder, Primo, Tyler Reks, Chris Masters, Trent Barretta ect, they are all basically the same as Renegade, Roadblock, Hugh Morris ect. WWE still has jobbers, they just have gimmicks and win occasional Superstars matches.
  23. Phil Schneider
    Goldberg didn't squash jobbers either. He squashed guys like Jerry Flynn, Hugh Morris and Sick Boy. Those guys didn't win a lot, but they did have identities and would win matches on WCWSN or the Pro. They are the functional equivalent of folks like Primo, Evan Bourne and Chris Masters.

    Lawler has worked that match with Jimmy Hart and a half dozen fake Jimmy Harts. He's never made it go that long. My sense from watching it was that they didn't want Lawler v Hart but rather wanted to do rich man's Zbysco v poor man's Bischoff. I also get the sense that this is how they wanted to do Coach v Austin. This is how they lay these things out. If any wants to see how Lawler can work with a non-wrestler, here is a great Lawler/Local TN Physician v. Bill Dundee/Local TN Physician from earlier in the year.

    They did, I reviewed it here http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2011/02/a...-my-credit.html It was disappointing considering how good they are against each other in trios
