Supremely fun match. I'm with you in that Takada's strategy seemed weird - standing and striking with Super Vader = dumb fuck - but the strikes were kinda stiff, I guess (sarcasm much). I really liked the kneebar spot, and the crowd were pumped since all of those leg kicks looked to be paying off. It's also interesting every time he goes for an armbar, and the crowd are appropriately rocking, since Takada snapping big Leon's arm for the second year in a row is more than possible. Vader's quick to snuff it out in some way every time it's attempted as well, which I liked just for the simplicity of it, basically. Last 5 minutes had me laughing a couple times at the sheer awesomeness of Vader clubbing the shit out of Takada's head, only for the crowd to absolutely WILL him back to his feet... essentially for Vader to cave his face in some more. Takada is the embodiment of fighting spirit. Leon White exemplifies the term "knock someone the fuck out". Great stuff. ****1/2 |

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
I heard Danielson/Claudio @ Northern Navigation was just head & shoulders better than their Vendetta II match. God that is just so awesome to hear.

So did I! Man, a great crowd can just elevate everbody on the card. They were a little snarky during the Nigel/Steen match (some audible "let's-go-Nigel! chants) but otherwise they were one of the best crowds, right there with Orlando and NY. I feel a question coming on...!
Which happens first: a great crowd motives the wrestlers, or great wrestling motivates the crowd? Or does it have to have both, like when you've got rockin' peanut butter and some delicious jelly, and all you need is something to put them on (...the venue, I guess..?)

Re: Official Indy DVD Help Thread
Wait what the fuck, Watts not only not watching SoCal indies but watching..... All Japan Classics!? Speaking of which.
Jumbo Tsuruta, Great Kabuki, Masanobu Fuchi vs. Mitsuharu Misawa, Akira Taue, Kenta Kobashi (AJPW 5.30.1990) - ****
I watched the match that defined Misawa's career last night, (basically the one that kicked off the Jumbo/Misawa fued) and it was really awesome especially with Jumbo getting pissed off at Misawa for forearming him off the apron (in fairness Jumbo did it first) and then running in for some payback a few minutes later and then in the end still getting owned by Misawa's forearm strikes. Plus Taue was surprisingly awesome for it being "1990 Taue", was a little wierd seeing him on Misawa and Kobashi's team though. Especially since in a few months Taue would become the #2 man in Jumbo's stable.
Shame the version I have of the site is in pretty poor quality (a lot of AJ is sadly) but still a match worth watch with major historical importance.
