Eddie Marlin does a great job of cutting Snowman's promo for him after he gets lost out there.

More out of control brawling. Wish we could get a studio brawl with these two so it would be in full.

You know, I think we all should have been suspicious when they put only one man on that pile of dirt job. I mean, it was an awfully big pile of dirt. Wouldn't you want at least a group of people working on that, or a bulldozer or something? I'm no construction worker, but it seems like it would take a long time for one man to shovel that awfully big pile of dirt, and may not be the most efficient use of resources.

Another hot angle with these four. Doesn't the matchmaker know that it's no real threat to get banned from the Sportatorium? Most of the wrestlers would kill to get banned from that shithole.

First time I ever watched this. This match is some spectacular pro wrestling. I like how Jumbo kinda turns heel in this. Misawa is being a disrespectful punk, slapping Jumbo during clean breaks and whatnot, and Jumbo seethes at it all. And yet, the crowd still sides with Misawa. Maybe I'm seeing stuff that isn't there, but I see some "Bret Hart in 1997" parallels with Jumbo here. Also want to point out Jumbo's awesome balls-first dive into the top rope and resulting bump. Great stuff out of Jumbo here. He's another guy I want to watch more of coming out of this yearbook. I know...amazing that I want to see more from all-time greats like Jumbo and Hansen.

Would have loved to have seen this in full. I suspect the only thing keeping Stan Hansen from being one of my five favorite wrestlers of all time is not having seen enough Stan Hansen matches, which I really ought to correct. Post match is fun too, with Hansen brawling with the other gaijin.

I liked how Timbs croching Lizmark and dumping him on his head/neck is a catalyst for chaos. Satanico turns on Timbs for being a dick. Perro is being a dick caring more about Timbs and Satanico brawling, so Mendoza turns on him. And then Chicana turns on Timbs because, once again, Ken Timbs is a dick. The match was mostly pedestrian but the third fall and resulting chaos was fun.

I enjoyed this. Cases did a very good job as the rudo technical ace, controlling the match on the mat, which made Asai's high flying comeback moves stand out in a good way. Loss pointed out the surfboard struggle, which was also one of my favorite things of the match. Say what you will about Ultimo, but his stuff always looks as fluid as water. Fun match.

See, I totally believe that. Wrestlers are dangerous, paranoid lunatics, I can see them all carrying weapons at all times for fear of their lives.

When I was like 12, my mom got me a subscription to like, all of the Apter mags. That was cool for a few years. Then I found the internet and realized everything in those things was horseshit, even above and beyond the horseshit that was pro wrestling in the first place. That was a disappointing day.
-
At first I wondered if he was coming back to plug Guardians of the Galaxy, but that isn't released for another 4+ months after Mania, so maybe he's just bored?
-
This was fine as a showcase style match but not anything more. At least we get the pro shot video rather than the camcorder, though one of the cameras is in bad need of white balance.
-
I'm starting to think I prefer lucha six man tags to all other lucha as I really enjoyed this. I liked the third fall better than most here as I felt they built to a good finish with the fall coming shortly after the dives. I'd watch this again.
-
Lee Marshall looks fucking weird clean shaven. What is an IWA anyway?
-
This started slow, and I thought it would eventually build into something, but instead Gordy hits the DDT and it just sort of ends. I did like the post match with Freebird playing and Doc celebrating with Gordy, and the Japanese dudes in the crowd proudly waving the rebel flag, but this wasn't anything I'll ever remember watching again. Oh, and I was kind of hoping PS and Buddy Jack would run out with a bottle of Jack for the post match. Alas.
-
I loved this. Stan Hansen working from underneath as a babyface was a real treat. He did a great job putting over Doc as a monster. Doc running right into the ring post on the outside looked nasty too. Great match.

Hey, guy recording this show on your camcorder: don't quit your day job. Unless your day job is recording Japanese indy shows on your camcorder, in which case, definitely quit your day job. Then again, if this guy has had a day job of continuously recording Japanese indy shows for 23 years, he ought to be commended for that, and it seems extremely unlikely that a man can hold a job recording Japanese indy shows for 23 straight years without getting better, so maybe I should cut the guy some slack. Anyway, it's late and I'm getting loopy. I enjoyed this more than the Joshi match because I enjoyed the story more. This kind of feels like a showcase match that got out of hand and turned ugly. It built to a spirited third fall, and the crowd was with this the entire way, and they kept the crowd without needing a bunch of nearfalls. I liked this.
-
The work here was technically proficient, but man, they sure kicked out of a lot of stuff. In particular, Kong hit a bunch of nasty pikedrivers for two counts. I won't hate on this because everything they did looked great, but it wasn't a match I loved.
-
Great stuff, first with Jeannie being pretty bitchy, then a great brawl, and capped off by Toni Adams entering the feud on Chris' behalf. Fun times.
-
Oh, and 6'4" Craig Johnson should never, ever interview Bill Dundee.
-
The order feels messed up here - didn't Dundee get the title match with Lawler already? Anyway, great stick work from two masters. Lawler seems to cut all of his pretaped promos in front of the same bathroom wall though.
-
This was better than I thought it would be before things got clusterfucky. Somehow, the Roadies escape the NWA without losing or getting beat down. Hey, there's Paul Orndorff!
-
Sid and his amazing tux are out there and say nothing. This feels like step one of the Road Warriors burial as they get ready to go to the WWF.

I liked the explanation to old time fans that may remember Hansen that he hasn't been around because he was blackballed from the US because he's too crazy. It's a much better explanation to fans than "Because he wouldn't drop the AWA title to Nick Bockwinkel."
