Loss Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 One of the Headhunters either gushes within seconds or is already bleeding before the match starts, I can't tell. Really a proto-ECW match. Didn't do much for me, but it stands out in the context of the time. Quote
shoe Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 That blade job was flowing. With that said it didn't do a lot for me. Thought the brawling was there. Just brawling for the sake of brawling. Though if the Headhunters were around in the 80's they could have drawn decently in some of the territories. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted September 20, 2012 Report Posted September 20, 2012 Yeah, the blood was just pouring out of his face pretty early in the match. My favorite part was when they went into the crowd and you see a mass herd of people running away. Crappy brawl overall though but at least it was on the short side. Quote
WingedEagle Posted August 7, 2013 Report Posted August 7, 2013 When does Pogo jump back to FMW? Pogo takes his cowboy boots off to use as an early weapon, and one Hunter springs a gusher right away. Headhunters' matches always read better than they watch, and that's no different here. Pogo accidentally nails Matsunaga with chair and they need to be separated afterwards w/ challenges issued. ** Quote
PeteF3 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Matsunaga and Pogo are working the partners-with-tension gimmick--somewhere Vince Russo is getting moist. This is better than your usual Pogo suckfest thanks to some nifty offense and bumping from the Headhunters but it's not exactly a great match. The arguing-partners thing pays off for the finish but they sort of make up afterward when Pogo rescues Matsunaga from Victor Quinones. I do rather like the Headhunters and they probably deserved to go farther than they did based strictly on merit. Quote
garretta Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 It seemed like they really wanted to go hardcore at first, then changed their minds and decided to work a regular match until Matsunaga nailed Pogo with the chair. This really made the one Headhunter's blade job sort of gratuitous. I'm not sure why Pogo bled either, unless it's because he's Pogo and that's what he does. Guys the size of the Headhunters doing moonsaults impresses me. I liked how they told the tension story between Pogo and Matsunaga. It was there, but they didn't beat us over the head with it constantly. Even after the match, the misunderstanding between the two didn't lead to a brawl or an overly dramatic turn. though I'm sure they won't be exchanging Easter baskets either. My favorite part was half the roster holding Pogo down while one of them mounted him and slapped his face to get him to calm down. Wasn't Victor Quinones a partner down in Puerto Rico? I've heard the name somewhere before, but I can't place it. Quote

Didn't do much for me, but it had it's moments where it got better. Quote
