EXCELLENT QUALITY MATCHES- cont'd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

21) Terry Gordy\Steve Williams\Richard Slinger vs Kenta
    Kobashi\Mitsuhara Misawa\Tsuyoshi Kikuchi-10\4\92.  Super tag team
    match that had everything.  The Americans doing stiff brawling and
    the Japanese matching it.  I rated this match 5 stars.  I absolutely
    loved it.

22) Jumbo Tsuruta vs Mil Mascaras-8\25\77.  Kind of slow by today's
    Japanese standards, but a good match historically.

23) Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Terry Funk-6\11\71, NWA Title best 2 of 3 falls.
    A really good match between two of the all time greats back when
    they were still young.

24) Misawa vs Kawada-10\21\92, for the All JApan Triple Crown.  A dream
    matchup between long time partners.  Super, super match.  Rated
    between 4 1\2 and 5 stars.

25) Great Sasuke vs Bulldog KT-10\92.  Solid, 3 1\2 star Japanese Lucha
    match from the Universal group.  KT was on the last tape.

26) Lightning Kid\Jerry Lynn vs Pat Tanaka\Bulldog KT-9\92.  Also from
    Universal.  Three of these 4 were on the last tape in a match
    together.  Not quite as goos at that match, but still very good.

27) Nobuhiko Takada vs Koji Kitao-10\23\92.  A pretty quick, interesting
    match from the UWFi shoot group.  The match was about 10 minutes, so
    if you are curious what shoot groups look like, give it a try.

28) The British Bulldogs vs Gordy\Stan Hansen-6\5\89 in Japan.  A good,
    3 1\2 star match between some of the legends of wrestling.

29) Misawa vs Tsuruta-6\8\90.  A great match that was Misawa's coming of
    age.  Super, historically important match.

30) Misawa\Kawada vs Kobashi\Giant Baba-11\29\92.  As shocking as it
    sounds, even BABA was great in this match.  Forced into serious
    action due to the injury of Tsuruta, which forced Jumbo from the tag
    tourney, Baba picked up the gauntlet.  Fabulous match the Dave
    Meltzer rated at 4 and 3\4 stars and called a must see.  I agree.

31) Aja Kong vs Bull Nakano-11\26\92.  A good match between the two best
    big women in the world.  The torch was apssed in this match.  For
    the WWA Championship.

32) Dynamite Kansai\Cutie Suzuki vs Devil Masami\Mayumi Ozaki-8\16\92.
    This was from the all night live special that started at 1 in th
    morning.  You'd never know from the performances!  This match was
    fantastic and proved that the JWP girls were in the same league as
    the All Japan girls.  Plus, in the audience, you can see Dave
    Meltzer AND the Lightning Kid!  4 1\2 star match.

33) Mitsuhiro Matsunaga vs Mr. Pogo in a Fire Death match-8\2\92.  Our
    W*ING pals are back in another, warped, twisted wrestling match.
    Fire surrounds the ring and the guys try to cook each other.  Not
    much of a match, but truly warped stuff.  This will place high, I
    know it.

34) Misawa\Kawada vs Akira Taue\Jun "Future Superstar" Akiyama-12\20\92.
    This match was the final of the tag tourney that I reviewed a few
    days ago.  Fantastic match.  Highly reccomended.

35) Tully Blanchard vs Magnum TA-Starrcade 1985.  This was an "I quit"
    match that took place in a cage and was one bloody match.  A
    personal favorite.

36) Road Warriors vs Magnum TA\Ronnie Garvin-Crockett Cup 1985.  This
    was the final match of the inaugural tournament.

37) Wargames-1987 Great American Bash.

38) Ric Flair vs Nikita Koloff for the NWA belt-Starrcade 1986.

39) Road Warriors vs the Midnight Express on a Scaffold-Starrcade 1986.

40) Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes for the NWA belt in a cage-Bash 1986.

41) The Road Warriors vs Ivan Koloff\Krusher Kruschev-Bash 1986.

42) Jerry Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich for the Unified World Title.
    SuperClash 3.

43) Jumbo Tsuruta vs Bruiser Brody-3\27\88 in Japan.  One of the
    historically great matches in Japan.  Solid, 3 1\2 star match.

44) Minami Toyota\Debbie Malenko vs Bull Nakano\Akira Hokuto 10\26\91.
    Fantastic match.  Rated between 4 3\4 and 5 stars.  I loved it.

45) Atlantis vs Blue Panther 8\11\91.  For the CMLL Middleweight title.
    Probably the best Mexican match of 1991.
