....I have been talking about trading tapes with alot of people both on and 
     off the net. A lot of them particularily like a tape of assorted matches
     that a guy in the Bronx put together for me.  Many have suggested that
     I offer this tape over the net the way Dave and Herb have in the past.

     I know Dave is currently in the midst of putting another tape together
     so in an effort to help him get the stuff out, I'll put my tape up for
     trade (preferably) or sale.

     Unfortunately since the tape is already put together, we can't have the 
     balloting procedure that Dave does.  But, I would venture to say, nobody
     will be disappointed.  This tape has some real hot action and some very
     rare stuff (also none of the stuff on this tape is on Herb's or Dave's
     previous tapes).

     Here's a list of the matches and angles and short descriptions:

     1. Dynamite Kid vs. Tiger Mask(Satoru Sayama) April23,1983. 
         -This was one of the best matches of all time. It was listed #2
          on the top 100 matches of the 80's in the '89 Observer Yearbook.
          All the great spots are there as well as some surprises, such as
          tombstones on the floor and Kid going after Mask with a water 
          bottle. Great Action. (2 out of 3 falls)

     2. Pat Patterson vs. Sgt. Slaughter; May 4, 1981
         -The MSG Alley Fight Match.  One of the Bloodiest, Wildest, Greatest 
          Matches of all time.  Must be seen.  Also shows post-match clean up
          of blood.

     3. Rimi Yokota vs. Lioness Asuka; Aug. 22, 1985
         -This is from Star Wars. Many consider this match, the best ladies
          match of all time. Yokota is the greatest women's wrestler of all
          time (IMHO).

     4. Akira Maeda vs. Don Nakaya Neilsen; Oct. 9, 1986
         -The greatest mixed match ever.  Maeda was supposed to get destroyed
          by Neilsen (a kickboxer), but this match only added to his mystique.

     5. Jim Duggan vs. Ted DiBiase; Mar. 30, 1985(SuperDome)
         -This was a No Time Limit/No DQ/Steel Cage/Coal Miner's Glove/Loser
          Leaves Town/Tuxedo Street Fight match from the old Mid South back
          when Duggan was exciting to watch.  A great brawl.

     6. A clip from ProWrestling This Week (Feb. 10,1987); amazing events
        (dubbed in Japanese), must be seen.

     7. Jimmy Snuka's face turn (10-82)
         -a great angle with Buddy Rogers telling Snuka that he has no binding
          contract with Lou Albano.  Then Snuka gets annihilated by Albano and
          Ray Stevens, including 2 piledrivers on the floor.  Snuka juices 
          buckets. 

     8. Owen Hart vs. Keichi Yamada; June 10, 1988
         -This was during Owen's stint as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champ.  Yamada
          (now known as Jushin Liger)is a superstar in the making at this time.

     9. Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich; Dec. 25,1982 (Reunion Arena)
         -For Flair's NWA title. Michael Hayes as guest ref and Terry Gordy
          as guest gate keeper.  A great, great match and finish which started
          one of the greatest feuds of all time (Von Erichs vs. Freebirds)

     10. Riki Choshu, Masa Saito, and Hiro Saito vs. Akira Maeda, Nobuhiko
          Takada and Osamu Kido(Nov. 19, 1987)
          - This is raw footage of the (in)famous shoot kick match. As Choshu
            is putting Kido in the scorpion, Maeda visciously kicks him in the
            face, legitimately breaking 3 bones.  Choshu (his face swollen)
            goes after Maeda but the other 4 keep them apart.  Quickly, Choshu
            pins Kido and goes after Maeda again, but they're kept apart. Kido,
 .         Choshu's opponent, is the first to check on his face.  The crowd
            aware of what's happening starts chanting MA-E-DA and SHOOT since
            Maeda is somewhat of a cult hero.  This lead to Choshu missing the
            NJPW tag tourney and Maeda suspension and ultimate firing. (Video
            Quality is fair) 

     11. The CWA angle were Eddie Marlin fires Eddie Gilbert.  The arguement
         spills out into the parking lot where Gilbert hits Jerry Lawler with
         his car.  A very dangerous and well done angle.

     12. Chigusa Nagayo, Yumiko Hotta, Mika Suzuki, Yumi Ogura,Yachiyo Hirata, 
         Mika Takahashi vs. Lioness Asuka, Mika Komatsu, Kazue Nagahori,Mitsuko
         Nishiwaki, Etsuko Mita & Sachiko Nakamura; Dec. 5, 1987
         -Dave Meltzer calls this match, the best match he's ever seen live.
          12 woman tag match with the winner being the team that can score the
          most falls in the time limit.  The crowd is absolutely going nuts!!

     13. A clip of a Ric Flair vs. Ivan Koloff cage match (1981) from Mid-
         Atlantic wrestling.
          -This was one of the first and most disgusting angles I remember
           from when I started watching wrestling.  The Andersons (Ole & Gene)
           enter the cage and annihilate Flair. Rick Steamboat tries to save
           him and almost loses a couple fingers on the top of the cage.

     14. Bob Backlund vs. Samoan #3 (late 1983)
         -This marks the return of Hulk Hogan to the WWF.  In a post-match
          interview Hogan acknowledges his heel past.

     15. Riki Choshu, Tatsumi Fujinami, Kengo Kimura, Akira Maeda & Super
         Strong Machine vs. Antonio Inoki, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Seiji Sakuchi,
         Kantaro Hoshino & Keiji Muto. (Aug. 19, 1987)
         -Excellent Ten man elimination match from "Summer Night Fever".
          25 minutes of hot action.

.....I'll finish the rest of the list on the next post.
