Loss Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Last few minutes. Bart Gunn is now in the WWF as Mike Barton. Yeah, Jim Ross never had a problem with him or anything. They use his knockout punch for drama in the match, which is a great thing. He does look more than a little out of his league though. Akiyama pulls a Misawa and drags Kobashi closer to his corner so he can tag himself in, but he doesn't drag him far enough, proving that he's no Misawa. Action looks good but not great. They seemed to kind of overdo it with the nearfalls. Ace and Barton win the tag titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Action here looked pretty good but I can't believe that Ace and Barton won the belts here. Of all of the gaijin tag teams in All Japan lore, this feels pretty low on the totem poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Ace looks pretty out of shape here. It's crazy that Gunn went from losing in a minute to Butterbean at Mania to tag team champion in All Japan 3 months later. Was he still under WWF contract?

Zenjo Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 The legendary Johnny Ace wins the tag straps again, this time as team leader. I remember Barton having a random excellent match against TenKoji in 2001. He was a mediocre gaijin otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Answering a question from two years ago: Gunn had been released in a post-WM purge along with Public Enemy, the Oddities, and some others. Barton looks out of place a few times but isn't offensive or anything, and I love how over his left hand is. Ace pins Akiyama after several near-falls and a million different Ace Crusher variations in what had to have been a pretty major upset. The foreigner well was drying up, so you have to give it the ol' college try with somebody, I guess. All in all a fun finishing stretch here.
