Matches from August-December 1970

• ANTONIO INOKI & SHOHEI BABA vs DORY FUNK JR. & TERRY FUNK (08/04/1970; JWA NWA World Champion Series; 00:15:16)

  We only get less than half the match, but what we have looks GREAT, and finding an Inoki-Baba tag match against The Funks is the type of thing that makes this hobby worth pursuing.

• GUY MERCIER vs PETER KAYSER (08/22/1970; French Catch; 00:18:07)
  Segunda Caida review of the match.

• DR. X vs BLACKJACK LANZA (09/01/1970; AWA House Chicago, IL; 00:02:23)

• JACKIE PALLO vs BOBBY GRAHAM (09/14/1970; Joint Promotions; 00:09:36)

• BRUNO SAMMARTINO vs BEPO MONGOL (09/14/1970; WWWF MSG; New York, NY; 00:17:03)
  Bepo wins by countout, which set up a Texas Death Match the following month at MSG (which we don’t have).

• MAD DOG VACHON & BUTCHER VACHON vs KENNY JAY & SANTIAGO ACOSTA (10/03/1970; AWA All Star Wrestling; 00:12:02)

• BRUNO SAMMARTINO vs BULLDOG BROWER (11/16/1970; WWWF MSG; New York, NY; 00:00:57)

• GORILLA MONSOON vs CARLOS PEREDES & MIKE CONRAD (11/19/1970; WWWF Washington, DC TV Taping; 00:01:24)

• ANTONIO INOKI & SHOHEI BABA vs JOHNNY VALENTINE & GENE KINISKI (12/01/1970; JWA International Champion Series; 00:34:59)
  What’s shown is worth 4*, even with clipping in the first fall. Always an absolute treat to see more Johnny Valentine footage. His offense is every bit as brutal as you’d expect.

• SHOHEI BABA vs GENE KINISKI (12/03/1970; JWA International Champion Series; 00:44:50)
  Kiniski wins the NWA International Title in a good match, but nowhere near what you’d expect it to be. Watch out for Baba’s ridiculous bump to the floor. 3*

• DER HENKER vs JACKY CORN (12/12/1970; French Catch; 00:18:39)
