Jumbo Tsuruta vs Genichiro Tenryu - AJPW 05.06.1989 - ****3/4 (love the hell out of this match)
Jumbo Tsuruta vs Mitsuharu Misawa - AJPW 08.06.1990 - ****3/4
Jumbo Tsuruta vs Mitsuharu Misawa - AJPW 01.09.1990 - *****

I just watched the Kroffat/Furnas vs. Kobashi/Kikuchi 25/5/92 match. Don't know how to rate it, I'm kinda blown away. ****3/4 for sure, maybe all the way five as well. Brilliant tag match and the crowd was rabid, the loudest Japan crowd I've ever seen. Epic stuff. The pace was insanely high and the action was non-stop. What an energy rush.

Currently number 32 on my MOTYC list. Tremendous match, IMO.

Pretty good show, 3 awesome matches. Rest was meh.


Next Up: CHIKARA Revelation X



P.S.: Still waiting on "A Cut Above" and "The Homecoming II" to be posted in the Indy Section by somebody... lol... slackers. :)

From A Cut Above, I really wanna see Lynn/Strong, Dragon/Edwards, Black/Davey, and Steen&Briscoe/DCFC. From The Homecoming, Dragon/Rave, maybe the 3-way, Hero/Black, Wolves/Steen&Briscoe, and Lynn/Cabana. Thanks bro :). You're a good man. Rep in advance.

Also, for those who haven't seen it. I was browsing Chikara's roster and they have Chuck and Icarus' shaved heads on there. Chuck doesn't look like Chuck at all.

I can hook you up with the Cut Above matches soon if no one else does. Dragon/Edwards and the Wolves tag are nothing special though.
I assume you mean Steen&Briscoe/DCFC? Either way, I'd still like to see the matches, because they interest me.

Just placed my first order with Smart Mark Video. Ordered:
- IWA Mid-South "House of Hardcore 2 Year Anniversary Show" (Punk/Hero 50+ minute TLC match)
- The Best Of CM Punk In MAW - Vol. 1 2000-2001
- IWA Mid-South "When Hero Met Punk" (Punk/Hero 93 minute 2/3 falls match)
- IWA Mid-South "Simply The Best 6" (Punk/Delirious I)
- IWA Mid-South "Dedication" (Tribute show for Candido, Punk/Delirious II)
- IWA Mid-South "No Blood, No Guts, No Glory 2005" (Punk/Delirious III, final Punk appearance)

As you can tell, I'm a Punk fan, however, these are my first IWA-MS shows purchased. I see guys I know and enjoy from ROH/TNA/WWE on the cards. Am I in for a good time, or did I just blow my money so I can see a handful of classic Punk matches in the middle of some crappy shows with early matches of some of my favorite new wrestlers?
 
#485 ·
I've only seen the Punk/Hero matches and they were incredible. I think I might prefer the TLC match but there was something special about the 93 minute match. I watched the TLC match online and didn't even bother watching the rest of the card on When Hero Met Punk. Still you will be getting to see at least 2 incredible matches.

StB6 was top to bottom the best IWA:MS show I have ever seen. Only one of two IWA:MS shows I didn't sell when I purged my DVD collection.

Jack Brisco vs. Antonio Inoki, JWA 8/5/71: ****3/4. First time seeing this, and my first time seeing a really high end Brisco match. The match itself is an all time classic, and Jack Brisco may be a top 20 worker ever if he had any kind of consistency. He's incredible here; it's not hard to figure out why he was given the NWA title a couple years later. With 2009 eyes, it was a real treat to watch. I see guys in TNA or the indys run through all the tired chain sequences with lighting speed, and it means absolutely nothing. It may be aesthetically pleasing to some people, but it's all filler until they can start hitting their spots. Here, Jack and Inoki put on a masterpiece with really intricate technical work and minimal highspots. It's a struggle for control, and they milk holds for everything they're worth. You have to marvel how much they get out of so little. 75% or so of the match is on the mat, and it builds and builds in a way that when highspots are finally hit, they seem huge. It's very rewarding if you have the patience for it. As I said before, Jack's performance was amazing, and I'm definitely gonna seek out more of his singles work now.


A side note, why doesn't Japan, Mexico, and other international stuff get it's own thread at least? Not having it's own subforum is understandable, but a thread for match discussion would be great. Seems like there's enough puro viewers here to make it worthwhile.

Just noticed PWG Ninety Nine is sold out at ROH, hope they put one aside for me when I placed my order since I pre-ordered the WWE Tag Teams set at the same time. Will be most annoyed if I have to wait for them to restock it or if I don't end up getting it.
