Loss Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I spent a few minutes trying to confirm that this was indeed Gran Naniwa because it's a completely different look. I still have no idea. Whoever it is, I didn't get into this one too much. Naniwa helping Tiger out of his jacket when he snuck attacked him kind of defeated the point of a sneak attack. They were doing the right things, but lacked conviction, so it felt like two guys just doing what they think is wrestling. Mike Lorefice sure thought it was good though.

tim Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I didn't think much of this match either, though the last couple minutes were pretty energetic and good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 It looks more like Minoru Tanaka's HEAT character than Gran Naniwa but the mask does look like Naniwa. I agree with you guys that this wasn't much. Tiger Mask always bores me. Gran was fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 The best portion was when TM 4 went on the attack but this didn't evolve beyond a good match that didn't have any emergency to it. Disappointing given all the other Japanese indy hidden gems that surrounded 1999. **1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I probably am the high vote on this--this was a good, enjoyable match. That said, it was a TOTAL TM4 carry job as Naniwa offered absolutely nothing until unleashing the big bombs at the end. Before that his offense looked loose, he didn't sell particularly well, and he brought nothing to the table other than being in place for TM4 to execute his spots. I still liked this but came out of it looking forward to more TM4 and with more support for my '90s-watch conclusion that Naniwa pretty much sucked.
