[1994-10-14-UWFi-The King's Road: Osaka] Vader & John Tenta vs Gary Albright & Kazuo Yamazaki

[superkix]

This time Vader & Tenta jump them to start and a microsecond of crowd brawling before it settles into Yamazaki and Vader, which is a much better start than Albright/Tenta because Yamazaki  immediately starts cracking legs with kicks. Vader sells big for him here but he finally clobbers his way back and drops him with a German, which Yamazaki subsequently sells really well.  Again, Tenta stinks in there, just no selling everything and almost falling down trying to throw sumo slaps. He does use a crab hold, so there's that. The Vader/Albright interactions are, of course, the main attraction and Albright dumps Vader with Germans until he gets woozy. Yamazaki and Vader close it out and Yamazaki goes back to attacking the leg to set up the kneebar. That doesn't work and Vader ends up KO'ing him with a powerbomb. On par with the first match, though I slightly prefer this more based on the Yamazaki/Vader exchanges and Tenta not being in there as much.

I too thought Tenta sucked!

Vader & John Tenta vs Gary Albright & Kazuo Yamasaki - UWFi 10/14/94

John Tenta proves that Vader is not just good at shoot style because he is big because Tenta sucks! Besides the sumo slaps, I thought he was useless, but he is not in there long. Vader vs Yamasaki and Vader vs Albright are thrilling! The former is Vader in his Hell selling the David vs Goliath narrative selling his ass off. Yamasaki was just rifling him. Great kicks. Then Vader vs Albright was Vader in his other element: King Kong vs Godzilla! Vader threw some of his stiffest punches and firearms on Albright. OW! Not to be outdone Albright throws Vader with two of the most beautiful Germans. Once the bosses are done, Yamasaki comes flying in full of piss & vinegar before Vader cleans his clock and then THROWS HIM DOWN IN POWERBOMB! To win by KO! Type of Vader performance to remind everyone why he is Greatest Hoss of All Time! ****
