Team New Japan vs Team UWF 03-26-1986
NJPW
Another brilliant New Japan multi-man for me to review, this time it isn’t a gauntlet match, it’s an elimination match meaning every time someone gets pinned, submitted or thrown out of the ring is eliminated from the match, this is a part of the interpromotional rivalry between New Japan Pro Wrestling and UWF Japan during 1986, it’s a very intelligent move in UWF’s part considering that most of New Japan’s crowd would be interested in shoot-style and what better way to introduce them than having a rivalry with wrestlers they know and love, this match is significantly shorter than the last one, that match went over the 60 minute mark and this match is around 35 minutes long, although it’s shorter I think that this match is arguably even more action packed than Ishingun vs Sekigun, mainly because the match structure favored a more fast-paced approach to it, that factor also gave an opportunity to guys that normally wouldn’t have had much of a role on it but on the other hand it made the final stretch less dramatic than it should have been, in my last review I talked about how absent the crowd was and I said that I wanted more out of them, I have no complaints in this one, the crowd genuinely cares about the match, they react every time their ace is in danger, that’s something that was missing in the last match. As I said before, the finish was anticlimactic, not just because is a 2 vs 1, it’s because it doesn’t feel earned, it’s something that The Warriors vs The Heenan Family in Survivor Series 1989 did right, the main difference was that the two wrestlers that The Ultimate Warrior defeated were noticeably weaker than him and that match also was building towards a Bobby Heenan vs Ultimate Warrior that eventually happened but in this one it’s more like Inoki is going to win one way or another and that isn’t as appealing.

Akira Maeda vs Tatsumi Fujinami 06-12-1986
NJPW
Another match from the NJPW vs UWF feud the last one was a 5v5 elimination match with the best of both worlds, this one is a traditional singles bout involving two of the greatest wrestlers these promotions had to offer, the match took place in NJPW which means that the crowd will be behind Tatsumi Fujinami and they will root against Maeda, both wrestlers were awesome at their respective roles and were able to create a big spectacle with a very underwhelming ending but at this point I’m used to that, I love how shoot guys present themselves in non-shoot style promotions, they always look like a legitimate threat to their opponent, in fact, my favourite match ( Akira Hokuto vs Shinobu Kandori 4/2/1993) could be considered a Shooter vs Ace and the same could be said about my number two (Katsuyori Shibata vs Kazuchika Okada 4/9/2017), so I love this match structure when it’s done correctly and these two nailed it for the most part, I’m sure politics had something to do with this match’s finish, I don’t see Maeda willing to lose to Fujinami neither I see Inoki willing to put Maeda over in his promotion so the middle ground was the draw and they did exactly that, double KO was the final result, it’s dissappointing considering how good the match had been to that point, the crowd was hot during the whole match there was no point in the match where the people in the stands didn’t care about it, the main reason for the crowd’s involvement in the match was the uncertainty, They wouldn’t be as interested if Inoki was the one facing Maeda, the difference between Inoki and Fujinami is that Fujinami can lose matches while Inoki can’t put anyone over him because he’s the japanese version of Hulk Hogan, the people love him and he doesn’t want to give his place on the card to anyone else unless it’s completely necessary ( we’ll get to that point).
Fujinami’s performance as a babyface was amazing and he was able to make Maeda look good.
I’d recommend this to everyone who likes Akira Maeda’s work in the 80’s in UWF and NJPW, this match deserves the high regard its held on, an absolute classic.

10 Man Elimination Match (9/17/1987) NJPW
Everyone of New Japan’s multi-man matches of the 1980’s are amazing, now I can say that comfortably, this match in particular didn’t have any downtime whatsoever they went straight at it for around 30 minutes, the stipulation is the same as in the New Japan vs UWF match 5v5 and if get pinned, submitted or counted out you’re eliminated like in Survivor Series, this matches are the most exciting and emotional in 80’s New Japan because they always guarantee a clear result something that didn’t happen often in singles competition, the intensity of this contest is unmatched, everyone performed their role perfectly, I don’t mind the first two eliminations of the match because everything else is so good it doesn’t even matter, if you haven’t seen the match what happened was that Dick Murdoch and Riki Choshu eliminated themselves inmediately, that was strange but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s something that tends to happen in matches of this nature, Fujinami had an absolutely flawless performance in the match, he was there from beginning to end and that was a good call by New Japan’s creatives, the way he struggles to get an advantage combined with his bloody face made for an era-defining babyface performance, he was outnumbered during the finish stretch which resulted in him losing to Masa Saito and Antonio Inoki, it looked like they listened to me, they knew that another finish where Inoki is outnumbered and prevails anyways would be predictable, it just wouldn’t be as fun as it is if that was the finish, the team formed by Antonio Inoki, Dick Murdoch, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Masa Saito & Seiji Sakaguchi won, not without a fight, it isn’t the best multi-man they had to offer but it was in the same level as any other from that era.
I’d recommend this match to everyone who liked the first two multi-man matches, I know that there was another one in August but I couldn’t find that one if anyone reading this has it please put the link to it below.

10 Man Elimination Match (8/19/1987) NJPW
First of all, I’m an idiot, I had access to this match since May I think but I didn’t figure out where it was until today, I feel like I’m repeating myself when reviewing New Japan’s multi-man and gauntlet matches, all of them are so good and the criticisms feel identical ( they probably are), every match is worth watching but at the same time, they never go forward, you always end those matches feeling like everything stays the same, I didn’t get that feeling here, this match is all I want out New Japan’s creative team, actual progress was made, it felt like there’s actual change in the main event scene, since Inoki took that spot it all was stale, nothing was really moving, in this match there’s a change of dynamic that will impact the promotion for years to come, Inoki was eliminated along with Akira Maeda around the halfway point which meant that the spotlight was going to be in Tatsumi Fujinami and Riki Choshu and they delivered, when all the pressure was on their shoulders they were able to perform at a very high level, seems like the future seems bright for New Japan Pro Wresting, Fujinami’s performance in particular shines the brightest, he’s a big deal, every time he entered the ring their opponents feared for their lives, that’s what happens when Antonio Inoki is willing to share the spotlight, it’s a shame that it didn’t happen more often, Riki Choshu was as amazing as usual, his intensity made him a real threat, I don’t expect less out of a wrestler as polished as Riki Choshu, he isn’t just cool, he’s dangerous and their opponent’s know it, the final stretch was out of this world, Keiji Mutoh is the only wrestler left for the babyface team and he endures all the punishment Fujinami and Riki Choshu were able to inflict upon him until he had to submit, a star-making performance for the recently retired Keiji Mutoh.
I have nothing else to say, just watch all the New Japan multi-man matches, next I’ll take a look at Fujinami’s second singles match against Inoki, the famous 8/8/88.

Tatsumi Fujinami vs Riki Choshu 05-27-1988 NJPW
I forgot about this match completely when I did the review of the august 1987 multi-man, I promise that the next one will be Antonio Inoki vs Tatsumi Fujinami August 8th 1988, the match we have today is Tatsumi Fujinami vs Riki Choshu for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, we’ve come a long way since I covered their first encounter, Fujinami has evolved a lot as a worker as well as New Japan as a whole, that’s the most beautiful thing about projects like this, you get to see not only the progression of a wrestler but also the evolution of wrestling, this wrestler’s journey in particular has been amazing so far, Fujinami helped me understand New Japan’s main event scene and see many flaws in their booking philosophy that wouldn’t be able to see otherwise, my new perception of 80’s New Japan Pro Wrestling isn’t worse necessarily it’s just different, when I started watching Fujinami’s Jr Heavyweight Title run I didn’t expect to grow as attached to his work as I am right now, I don’t regret at all choosing Fujinami as the wrestler I’ll do a deep dive of around two weeks ago now, Grimmas was right when he said there’s something special about watching wrestling in chronological order, after getting that out of the way let’s begin this championship match. Riki Choshu is ruthless targeting Fujinami’s leg, he inmediately gets results and his opponents is visibly hurt during the rest of the match, he’s not only ruthless but relentless as well, he won’t stop until he beats him, Fujinami is going on one leg during the whole affair, his selling is outstanding, he genuinely looks hurt and that’s one of the most difficult thing to do in the wrestling business, the match ends when Fujinami is ruled not capable of continuing the bout prompting a stoppage.
I’d recommend this match to everyone who liked the 1983 trilogy.

Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat vs. Jimmy Snuka & Ray Stevens 6/29/1980
They look pretty good, they maintain the advantage throughout the whole affair, they aren’t only great on the mat, their character work is also outstanding, they positioned themselves as babyfaces that are incredibly easy to root for, Snuka and Stevens can’t do anything about it, they get the win easily, it was way more than I expected out of one of their first matches together.
Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen vs. Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat 11/26/1980
Youngblood and Steamboat looked like a big deal in this one, everyone in this match (except Brody) was excellent, Stan Hansen did everything in his power to make them look good and he did exactly that, they actually posed a threat to the more established Gaijin team and for a moment got the crowd thinking that they can upset Hansen and Brody, alas logic prevailed and the favorites got the victory.
Dory Funk Jr. & Terry Funk vs. Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat 12/02/1982
Their chemistry is unreal, they pull off some amazing double-team maneuvers and they look pretty cool, it’s a very fast-paced match with a lot of back and forth, Terry and Dory Funk had an awesome performance selling and actually standing up to their opponents, wrestling a style similar Youngblood and Steamboat’s, they end up losing the match, Terry caught Youngblood with a school boy for the three count.
Don Kernodle & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat 03-12-1983
Ricky Steamboat’s best babyface performance if you ask me, Kernodle and Slaughter offered a great challenge to Youngblood and Steamboat, the babyface team used their technical prowess to get the advantage while the heel team resorted to brutality to wear their opponents down, Steamboat and Youngblood ended up winning, the finish was a bit convoluted but I think it added to the match, it didn’t take anything away from it, the praise this match receives is justified.
Jack Brisco & Jerry Brisco vs. Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat 07-09-1983
An amazing TV match that plays into each other’s strengths, it’s as fast-paced as it is technical, Ricky Steamboat is one of the greatest babyfaces ever, I don’t think this isn’t going to surprise anybody, he proves in performances like this, daily matches that should be mundane but they end up becoming great only because of him, in my eyes that’s greatness, Jack and Jerry also performed at a high level as despicable heels, their job was simple and was executed to perfection.
Jack Brisco & Jerry Brisco vs. Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat 11/24/1983
Most of you will remember that date and you remembered correctly it’s the pre-main event of Starrcade 1983, the match is for the NWA Tag Team Championship, most of this match is spent on the mat, in fact, that’s the case until the finishing stretch, Ricky Steamboat’s comeback is as good as it gets and their opponents selling (while excessive at times) is excellent, at the end Steamboat and Youngblood retained the championship with a brilliant performance.

Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu
Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu vs Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu 02-01-1985
First match for these two as a tag team and it didn’t disappoint, they were a real challenge for Tenryu and Tsuruta to overcome, the lack of chemistry between Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu cost them the match but their performance wasn’t bad at all Yatsu’s selfishness was the only thing separating them from the victory, anyways a fantastic performance to begin their run as a tag team.
Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu vs Genichiro Tenryu and Takashi Ishikawa 03-08-1985
They learnt fast, from a considerable lack of coordination in their first match to the exact opposite in this one, that’s a thing of the past, now they hit double-team maneuvers smoothly and most importantly they behave like every tag team should, there isn’t a moment in the match where their egos are a priority, they worked together to get this well deserved victory.
Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu vs Killer Brooks and Bruiser Brody 03-09-1985
Choshu and Yatsu got a very decent match out of two brawlers without redeemable qualities, this match might not be as good as the last one but it’s a testament to these workers ability to make the most out of every match they’re in, Killer Karl Brooks actually look good in comparison to Bruiser Brody, Choshu and Yatsu got the three count in a chaotic match, just a fun match.
Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Yatsu vs Goro Tsurumi and Rusher Kimura 03-11-1985
Another instance of Choshu and Yatsu getting the best match they can out of brawlers, this time at least their opponents are more charismatic and their offense felt more hard-hitting, Tsurumi and Kimura really put together a great performance by their standards and no one can take that away from them, Choshu and Yatsu performed as well as they did in their previous match.
Riki Choshu & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Ron Bass & Stan Hansen 04-12-1985
Their run has been pretty solid so far and this match is no exception, Choshu and Yatsu are perfect character foils for each other and they proof that in every single contest, this time at least Stan Hansen was on their level of intensity Ron Bass on the other hand was completely absent, he didn’t have a single moment of inspiration but Hansen compensated his partner’s lack of intensity.

Tatsumi Fujinami vs Antonio Inoki 08-08-1988 NJPW
I promised that I was going to review this match a few days ago, I finally got enough energy to watch it and it didn’t disappoint, it was as great as I remembered it being, before going into the match you have to know the stipulation, if Inoki doesn’t win he can’t challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight Title again, that’s why the crowd is so invested in the match, every pinfall and submission attempt felt like a big deal because this match can end at any moment, this match isn’t a sprint if entered this match expecting that you’d be disappointed, it’s a technical battle between two of the greatest wrestlers in New Japan Pro Wrestling history if that doesn’t sound appealing to you don’t watch this match if not you won’t regret giving this match a watch, I personally always end up forgetting this is a time limit draw, I keep falling for the nearfalls, a completely irrational reaction by my part but the crowd is just so energetic that you let yourself go, they are so focused on the action that it’s impossible for me to look away, they’re always chanting for Inoki and their chants get louder in submission attempts, the crowd wasn’t as loud during the last five minutes, by that time they knew it was going to be a time limit draw but it doesn’t matter having a crowd hooked on a match for 55 out of 60 minutes is still very impressive, Inoki not winning it’s the definitive passing of the torch moment and a very special moment for Tatsumi Fujinami, his selling performance added so much to the experience I can’t think of a better opponent for Inoki’s last chance to get the title, he didn’t want to lose, not even in a match that’s supposed to be a passing of the torch moment,Inoki will always be Inoki.
I recommend this one to everyone who enjoys great american epics from the 1950’s if you like Lou Thesz vs Verne Gagne you’ll like this match.

Nice comprehensive look at 80s Fujinami. He was easy Top 5 wrestler of the decade, likely Top 3.

Ted DiBiase & Stan Hansen vs Riki Choshu & Yoshiaki Yatsu 12-12-1985 Another great match Choshu and Yatsu had that was ruined by the finish, another time limit draw, it’s the Finals of the World Tag League, if Dibiase and Hansen don’t lose the match they will be crowned winners of the whole tournament and they did exactly that, just this not losing effort was enough to win them the trophy, it was handed to them after the match, I expected more out of Hansen and Ishin Gundan.
Riki Choshu & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta (January 28, 1986) This is the culmination of a journey, they did all the things they’ve being doing done to perfection, this match is intense there’s no other way to put it, Tenryu and Tsuruta also delivered, it’s a non-stop back and forth between these two teams, they never slowed down, Choshu and Yatsu did everything right, the only thing that may bother some people is the finish but this match is so good I didn’t mind it.
Jumbo Tsuruta/Genichiro Tenryu vs Riki Choshu/Yoshiaki Yatsu (All Japan February 1st, 1986) This match is absolutely amazing, somehow this one is better than the more famous January 28th match, this is full of action and the crowd was completely drawn to the match, I loved it, this contest actually had a winner, I think that it adds to the experience as a whole, the January 28th match is more famous because of a rating but this one did everything right like the last one but this match is way more action-packed and intense.
Tenryu & Tsuruta vs Riki Choshu & Yatsu 1986 10 27 This match is absolutely must watch for everyone, it may not be as good as their last one but it doesn’t mean this one is bad, in fact, it’s the exact opposite, this series of matches is surprising me, the level of consistency it provides is only reachable by the greatest tag team rivalries in history, The Rockers vs Buddy Rose & Doug Somers or The RnR Express vs The Midnight Express, this match didn’t have a clear finish but everything else was very good.
Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Riki Choshu & Yoshiaki Yatsu (February 5, 1987) Their last match against each other didn’t disappoint, a more compact version of their usual formula the main difference being that this match had a winner and a very exciting finishing stretch preceding it, the match as a whole is a great representation of what AJPW in 1987 was like, a great match that should have been way better than it was, either way it’s a match worth seeking out.

Crush Gals
Crush Gals vs Devil Masami and Jaguar Yokota 06-28-1984
It’s an absolutely outstanding thirty-minute sprint that I personally loved, not as much as the crowd did though, Crush Gals’ babyface performance is stuff of legends add to that the crowd’s love for them and you have a recipe for guaranteed success, in my opinion it overshadowed Jaguar and Devil’s heel showing, at the end of the day crowd heat doesn’t win matches, Devil Masami and Jaguar Yokota got away with the victory.
Crush Gals vs Yukari Ohmori and Jumbo Hori 08-25-1984
There’s a sense of urgency in this match, they go so fast all the way through, it’s a two out of three falls match, the first fall went to the Crush Gals, they’re a crowd favorite, that’s made evident by their reaction to everything Lioness Asuka or Chigusa Nagayo did in the ring that night, the second fall went Yukari Ohmori and Jumbo Hori, Ohmori hit a piledriver on Chigusa for the three count but in the deciding fall the babyfaces rallied back and were able to get the pin and the victory.
Crush Gals vs Lola González & La Galáctica 10-06-1984
This is top tier brawling, Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagayo get absolutely battered by Lola González, La Galáctica and Dump Matsumoto, I don’t know how but Dump always makes an impression even when she technically isn’t a part of the match, there’s no match where she’s a non-factor every time she shows up you know something is about to happen, the match was a long ⅔ falls tag match that did everything right, it’s a must watch if you ask me.
Crush Gals vs. Crane Yu & Dump Matsumoto 2/25/85
The only word I can think of to describe this match must be brutal, it’s the only adjective that fits what I’ve just witnessed, it’s another ⅔ falls tag team match but somehow even more brutal than the last one, Chigusa was cut open before the bell rang, both members of the Crush Gals end up bloodied, Crane Yu and specially Dump Matsumoto did everything in their power to get their hands raised, after a grueling 25 minute contest that saw them trading falls, Dump and Yu got what they wanted, Dump even cut a chunk of Chigusa’s hair.
Tag League The Best '85: Dump Matsumoto & Bull Nakano vs Crush Gals - Final 10/10/85 - AJW
This match is absolutely horrifying, Chigusa just lost her hair against Dump almost two months earlier in the famous hair match that happened in August 28th 1985 so the tension between the Crush Gals and Dump’s Army is at an all-time high and that translated into this absolute horror show, it isn’t as scary as her famous match against Yukari Ohmori 03-20-1986 but it’s still a Dump match so girls screaming their lungs out is guaranteed, a masterful ⅔ falls match.

Los Brazos vs. Los Bucaneros (UWA World Trios Titles) 11-03-1989 A great technical affair for Los Brazos’ trios title, it’s peak Brazos if you ask me, they did all their stuff in a way that felt funny yet serious, exactly what I want when watching their matches, it was a great experience, their opponents Los Bucaneros were also excellent playing their pirate gimmick, this is a match every lucha fan should seek out, it’s a great introductory piece to Los Brazos.
Los Brazos vs. Los Bucaneros (Super Libre) 11-10-1989 This is the rematch of the previous match but this time the match is under the Super Libre rules so no tags are required and having more than two men in the ring at a time is allowed, this rematch delivered, I love the wilder side of Los Brazos, they aren’t just comedy, they’re actually pretty damn serious when they have to, the appeal of their matches is their attitude if you don’t get that you won’t get Los Brazos.
Los Brazos vs Pierroth Jr/Ulises/Gran Markus Jr (CMLL February 4th, 1990) This is just a great example of what a Los Brazos performance looks like, they are heels that are clearly booked as babyfaces, in this match Pierroth Jr, Ulises y Gran Markus Jr play a more antagonistic role in the match putting Los Brazos in their usual position, they get battered by their opponents the whole match and they ended up winning because of a low blow, it was pretty good, if you like Los Brazos you’ll like this match.
Los Brazos vs. Atlantis/Super Astro/Angel Azteca 11/15/1991 The semifinal of the trios tournament, the final of that tournament is one of the most famous matches in Lucha history so if you know what teams were a part of that match you know who won here, Los Brazos always deliver, even in a 15 minute one fall tournament match, this match was very different from the others that I’ve reviewed, in this match their antics take the backseat in favor of more efficient offense, it isn’t as inspired as the other four matches on this list but it is an interesting footnote nonetheless.
Los Infernales vs Los Brazos (CMLL November 24th, 1991) The mexican trios formula done to perfection, both are rudos but the crowd is clearly in Los Brazos side, their attitude in the ring made them favorites among Lucha fans at the time, as always in México around that time the match will be two out of three falls for CMLL main Trios Title, the first fall was won by Los Brazos, the second and third fall went to Los Infernales. They won the match and retained the Trios Title, great stuff.

Ax & Smash vs. Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart 08-29-1988
I shouldn’t like Demolition as much as I do, they are worse than any other I’ve reviewed so far but somehow I enjoy them. All their criticisms are true, their basic offense,weak strikes, mediocre matches, Road Warriors ripoff vibe but they are still enjoyable, how you can see their strategy in every match and their heel tactics are telegraphed but the way they execute them is amazing, this match is a very good 12 minute match that ended when they used Jimmy Hart’s megaphone as a weapon for the three count, that was SummerSlam 88.
Ax & Smash vs. Davey Boy Smith & The Dynamite Kid 10-07-1988
If they performed badly in matches where they were carried by a much better team imagine what would happen when they face off against Davey Boy Smith and a declining Dynamite Kid you’ve guessed it a snoozefest, again the best thing about Demolition’s performance was their strategy while everything else was pretty unremarkable, these kind of matches are the reason why they aren’t a Top 25 Tag Team Ever.
Ax & Smash vs. Marty Jannetty & Shawn Michaels 10-24-1988
Another instance of Demolition looking bad because they’re opponents are too good, The Rockers are fantastic babyfaces and it showed, the match is slow and uninspired when Ax & Smash were in control but once Marty and Shawn hit their comeback the match became much more exciting to watch, the only good thing I can say about their performance is the strategy, how they cut the ring in half to avoid the possibility of a tag being made.
Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs. Ax & Smash 05-27-1989
I think this match exposed Demolition in and out of kayfabe, their tactics were read perfectly by a team that’s actually a great contender for the list The Brainbusters, they picked them apart and they got results, the strength of Ax & Smash was too much to overcome for Arn and Tully, Demolition lost this one via disqualification, they weren’t bad, their opponents were just too good and they suffered for it.
Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs. Ax & Smash 07-29-1989
They looked pretty good in this match, they feel like a really big deal, The Brainbusters did a very good job selling and doing as much as possible to make it happen, every complaint I had of them disappeared in this one, in fact, the thing I praised the most about the other matches is the only thing this match lacked, a great strategy, this match is a very remarkable and this match alone made me reevaluate their work.
