Couple random thoughts:
1. Completely disagree with 411 on Nigel-Nao, but I think I understand why they didn't dig it. That was a NOAH match through and through, and considering Ziegler believed the GHC title theme was Nigel's NOAH theme music, I doubt he (and possibly Garoon) has much puro knowledge. Not a knock on them, per se, but definatly hurt there enjoyment of the match.
2. Critiscizing Dragon's selling of his legitamatly injured shoulder is as nit picky as it gets, and these two are the kings of the nit picking. Thats why I normally don't like their reviews.
3. I FINALLY got hooked up with a copy of OYAS, and upgraded to DVD on BFSE, WOTWI, SCW, and got my own copy of TBE. Sense a trend? Will have a bunch of star ratings tonight from my past week of wrestle watching.
4. If you are into comps, you NEED Keith_H's WON MOTY set. 8 discs of the best wrestling ever. The 7 minute Von Erichs-Freebirds is one of the few I hadn't seen, and is legit ****1/2, and definatly no lower than ****. While I'm sure most (myself included) has seen almost all of these matches, this is the best VQ for almost all the rare matches. This is an indy board so I won't review it fully, but consider this blurb the highest reccomendation. Find at all costs.
5. Going to watch OYAS, and I just picked up this set. What do you guys think, I'm only farmiliar with the PPV matches (original and new ECW).

^ If it doesn't work just add an "l" on the end.

Very good review from those 2, I agree on Nigel/Marafuji, it wasn't that good. They did some spots very arkwardly, it was ONLY finishers at the end that made it good and the opening parts were pretty much forgotten. Still, good match.

i also think Nigel VS Fuji wasnt that good. There was such a reliance on finishers to create compelling near falls it was beyond a joke. Nigel looked totally stupid and out of his element, and the match didnt flow well at all. Still good, but far from great.

[MrPaiMei]

How did Nigel look stupid and out of his element? I thought he really got over in that match, to the point where the crowd was with every nearfall on a match with the biggest forgone conclusion in history. And I disagree about the finishers, what you may classify as a finisher, really isn't. Nigel got nearfalls with many variations of a lariat, not his finisher, Nao got a couple off superkicks, and there were some others, as well.
