ALOHA~!
Welcome to DEATH VALLEY DRIVER VIDEO REVIEW #62!
This is the special nCon II batch tearful jabbering with special moments
shared by the funtabulous folks who permeate this wacky corner of
cyberspace as we all decided to experience each other in "real time"
"Face to face" all watching King Kong Bundy try to put the Blast on
"assorted" Hooter girls and what have you; interspersed between assorted
reviews. That darn Schneider boy is back with his youthful take on the
world of wrestling tapes, so hats off to the young punk- Shark Tsuchiya
jokes are forthcoming. Everything I reveiw is given to me by the grace
of GLENN! Everything that Phil reviewed was by the grace of Lorefice
(READ QUEBRADA! IT KICKS MORE ASS BEFORE LUNCH THAN EVERYBODY ELSE
KICKS ALL DAY!) WOO-HOO!
!@!@!@!@!@!@@ ALL JAPAN TV 11/9/97
Sometimes you just gotta make a stand, so here it goes: If you're not
on the Akira Taue bandwagon why don't you get on board, get with the
system and get a part in the Big Win. If you're on the fence about
Johnny Ace- thinking he's overrated and a poor man's Steve Williams- get
your head out of your heinie and WATCH Akira Taue vs Johnny Ace. THIS
is how you do a good wrestling match- ponderous yet unrelenting,
highspotless yet acton packed, totally stoic but filled with emotion-
this is he distilled ethos of All Japan Wrestling. Sure, Misawa,
Kobashi, Kawada, Williams and Akiyama have hotter moves and Sure, those
guys are all spunkier and are houses afire and what not- but this match
is 200% psychology and you can forget sometimes that great psychology
can make up for nine consecutive Dangerous Backdrops so you need these
kind of matches. Not that this is a pantywaiste affair, but ANY move
would have worked at this level of selling and pacing and stiffness.
There is a whole lot to love about this match- Ace-Crushers,
Face-Crushers, Ace's CobraClutch Suplex (which HAS to totally suck it
for whoever has to to suplexed), Taue's Ode to Jumbo Tsuruta jumping
Phat Ass Kick to the Head, the Akira Taue TOTALLY SWANK Ode to Ciclon
Ramirez Old School Tope- I freakin LOVED this match and loved it even
MORE the second time I watched it. This builds to a white hot pinnacle
as the nearfalls drive the unsuspecting crowd into a frenzy, Ace hits a
transition move to take it home only to be crossed up by the Dynamic one
countering it with a more devastating move reversing the transition.
Akira Taue rules the fucking world and so does Johnny Ace, and this
match is for those who forgot about that.
-dhr!
NCon II Moment: During the 48 minute intermission at the wrestling match
in Plymouth's Meeting, PA, the Hooter Girls are raffling off crappy
t-shirts all the while flirting and teasing King Kong Bundy who is
hawking polaroids of himself with unsuspecting youngsters. Ray, Steve,
Phil, Scott and I try to think of what kind of Coalminer's Glove On A
Pole Match the Hooter's girl's could have since they are all in the ring
there and stuff. My faves were "Beautician's License on a pole match"
and "Restraining Order on a Pole Match." I'm thinking it would have been
an AWA 70's battleroyal match if it was "Reba Tickets on a pole match"
but who can be sure. After a while, the HooterGirls are still in the
ring and inexplicably signing autographs ("Thank You for staring at my
really big breasts, Love, Heather.") and giving the kids hugs as well
afterwards. Ray wants to go down to ring side and see if he can get a
hug without actually getting an autograph, because, hey! everyone needs
a hug. Cooler heads prevail, unfortunately.:)
%$%$%$% FRONTIER MARTIAL WRESTLING 4/29/97
Hayabusa v. Mr. Gannoseke (Hair v. Mask):
By far the best match on the card, and worlds above any match Mr.
Gannosucky has ever wrestled in his intensely medicore career. For so
long,
Hayabusa was a Sabuish spot machine and had to be carried by better
wrestlers to good matches (Something Hitsakatsu Ooya was the king at),
but stick him with a medicore or poor wrestler and your in a world of
shit (Koji Nakagawa, Jinsei Shinzaki). This match was great and it sure
wasn't Mr. who was carrying this sucker. Those trips to All Japan have
boosted Hayabusa's skill level ten fold. In the coolest spot in the
match, Hayabusa suplexes Gannoseke as they are both standing on the ring
apron and Gannoseke's head smacks against the apron on the way down;
Hayabusa then hits his super fresh Tope Con Hilo. Gannoseke and Busa
both bust out some pretty cool suplexes in the ring and Hayabusa does a
bunch of his cool in-ring dives. He gets the win with a nasty Falcon
Arrow (suplex into a Michinoku Driver II). The end is all Memphisy as
Hayabusa says somethin like "Hey Ganny come over here and give me a hug
and you won't have to shave your pretty hair and Gannoseke pretends to
hug him, then jumps him and stomps him, rips his mask off and Hayabusa
starts crying like a sissy boy, and as they are about to set his ass on
fire, Shinzaki runs out and stands around praying and shit ( Shinzaki's
match with Leatherface earlier in the card was Mercifully Clipped).
Hayabusa without his mask on looks like a herion addicted male
prostitute,
with a death-like pallor and sunken features.
He better stay out of mask v. anything matches cause he's got keep that
sucker on his creepy and disturbing face. Great match but Gannoseke not
getting his head shaved after a mask v. hair match blows and is the kind
of thing that would get your whole family killed in Mexico.
Terry Funk/ Cactus Jack/ Gladiator v. Onita/ Tanaka/ W*ING Kanemura:
This should have been way better. You have four great wrestlers who can
brawl like motherfuckers, and two legends who are always fun in this
type of match and you end up with something no better then a Fuyuki +
Gedo + Jedo streetfight (their match earlier was also Mercifully
Clipped). No selling, no build,no psycology- just a bunch of shit
strewn
together for twenty minutes. There were a couple of good spots- the
Gladiator tope, a couple of Tanaka suplexes , a top rope powerbomb
through a table but it just looked kind of like that ECW four way thing
at Hardcore Heaven but you didn't have Joel Gertner or Tommy Rich.
Cactus mailed it in, which is a shame because here was a guy who had
****+ brawls with Van Hairdresser and the fucking Nasty Boys. He's the
garbage
miracle worker and he should have taken control of this thing, but he
might as well have been Kuroda in this match. Funk shows that he is
certifiable by trying a moonsault from the top that nearly transfered
his
social security checks to his widow. Kanemura gets the pin with the
chair
elbow drop. A big, big disapointment.
Shark Tsuchiya v. Megumi Kudo (Landmine+ Barbwir Spidernet + Double Hell
Death ... blah blah blah match):
Kudo takes a hellacious beating- including getting thrown face first
into
the barbwire, taking a powerbomb off the ring apron into the land mine
and getting her hair set on fire. Shark takes one pretty good bump but
just stinks up the joint for the rest. She is attempting to be Dump
Matsumodo but she just
doesn't have any heat. Not a good match but kind of worth watching as a
triumph of the will- a "what one person can endure" kind of thing. It
is a
shame that Kudo didn't go to GAEA or JWP where she could actually
wrestle instead of just getting mauled like this. I hope Aja breaks
Shark's jaw.
-phil!
NCon II Moment: Steve navigates us to a Delaware (the Expensive Toll
State) reststop because I was about to eat my own foot. We pile out of
the car and go to the Roy Rogers restaurant. Roy Rogers jumps out from
behind the counter and secretly shoot me in the stomach with his special
grease-enriched hollow point, fatboy-killer bullets. I mean... I'm
guessing that's what happened. By the time Tom Brandy and Jim Powers
were put over by the far more talented Jimmy Cicero and Corporal
Punishment, the blood had filled my body cavity and I no longer wanted
to live.
@#@#@#@#@# MICHINOKU PRO TV 11/15/97 taped from 10/25 - 11/2
Yone Genjin/ Perro Russo vs Dick Togo/ Super Boy:
Y'know, it's real
easy to get annoyed with Yone Genjin- he dresses like a taller TAZ,
doesn't really do any moves really well, is deeply not any threat to
anyone with his half-assed high-flying- BUT he's REALLY not afraid to
take a super-collossal Dukakis-size Ass Stomping- and, lucky for him,
Dick Togo and Super Boy were right there willing to serve one up. Dick
Togo went deeply into his well of moves (HELL! He trained all these
guys, didn't he?) and deciced to use the most kicky, hurty moves on
Caveboy. My personal faves were the spinning heel kicks and the
SUPERGORGEOUS Standing Back Somersault Heelkick which just HAD to suck
eggs for the little whimsical whipping boy. Dick being (a) Dick follows
that fat-ass move up with a Dangerous Backdrop to further kill the
corpse. Super Boy has the Coolest mask on earth- with the Blue and
White Togo Logo skulls on the side. SB hits the second rope moonsault
which whomped super ass and hits other moves that are truly amazing
considering what a big fat gut heās sporting. A true inspiration to us
all. Perro Russo is quite the non-descript wrestler who is moderately
okay but just doesn't distinguish himself by leaning into an ass-kicking
like Yone does. Togo with a Fatter than the Realm of Fat Ass Senton.
Magic Man vs Jinsei Shinzaki:
Holy Shit! What is this crap? Magic Man
hypnotizes Shinzaki. Unfortunately he doesn't subliminally implant the
message- "Try Working For Once, You Lazy Batch Of Crap." Boy. Magic
Man is full of whimsy and mimelike wonder. Boy. I'd really like to see
Chris Benoit vs the Magic Man. Boy. That would be good. I'd bet Chris
wouldn't let Magic Man hypnotize him. Boy. I bet Benoit would beat the
whimsy and childlike wonder out of him and I'd get to watch. This match
was worse than the worst thing you EVER saw on GLOW.
Gran Hamada/ Yakushiji vs Tiger Mask IV/ Hoshikawa:
The TigerMask IV
that we all know and love is back in this baby, screwing up moves and
being an all-around pansy-assed drag. Hoshikawa gets all cute with
Yakushiji, avoiding his super strongpoints of fabulous suplexes and
skullcrushing kicks- vying to hang with Yakushiji in the air, which
exposes the weakness of Yakushiji's in-ring Lucha moves when he's not
doing them with Rudo's Rudo Dick Togo and shows that he's also limited
in that he can't wrestle the type of match that Hoshikawa wrestles-
which would have been have good. Hoshikawa is a budding super-stiff
worker and Yakushiji is the unthreatening budding sub-lucha aerialist.
TigerMask IV is not good in this one, Hamada mails it in and the ref
blows the finish. Not good. Nope.
Great Sasuke/ Super Delfin vs MEN'S Teioh/ & Funaki:
This mama rocked
me like a hurricane. Steinerized Delfin is still fast as shit and hits
everything nigh perfect in this baby. MEN'S and Funaki beat the fudge
out of the former job-boy to Aldo Montoya. Funaki is made up to look
like the bass player for Adam and the Ants with the Indian Warpaint and
beads and stuff, which you GOTTA love (Stand and DELIVER! BRUSH ME
DADDY-O! ah crap...), and the former BattlArts ne'er-do-well is all
spunky and feisty in this, looking about as good as I've ever seen him
look- flying into leg submissions, pounding on King of Bad Business
Decisions like there is no tomorrow, looking like he actually deserves
to hang out with Dick Togo. Teioh is the Lovable Redneck Prick we've
all come to love and he and Delfin pretty much tear it up for a while
there. No furcoats, but maybe he left it in the Camero next to the wine
coolers. Delfin is hellbent for leather in this one, and the Togo vs
Delfin rematch is gonna kick ass and I can't wait. Speeches galore
afterwards, just like the good old days (like back in June 97).
-dhr!
A nCon II moment: Pennsylvania in their infinite wisdom has decided to
put TWO exit 25s on rt 476, so we end up at a service station in King of
Prussia, Pennsylvania. Ray and Steve get directions and Phil and I wait
by the car. While Steve is verballing the directions to me, a
gun-toting loner gives us a helping hand by giving us his own special
obscenity-laced brand of directions. We listen intently and they work.
I later lament that we should have just asked him where he was going and
asked for directions to the "other place."
@#@#@#@# BEST OF JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER-Top of the Super Juniors
There were a whole lot of matches on this tape and I can't review them
all, but here are the highlights/lowlights. Most of these matches are
older, and it is real interesting to see what a big time highflyer Liger
used to be. I know that sounds kind of silly, but I had seen so much of
him in Japan recently where he rules it so hard in the ring with
suplexes, palm thrusts and just plain old kick ass stiff wrestling,
barely flying at all, it seems kind of strange to see him doing Asai
moonsaults, tope con hilos and rolling sentons to the floor.
Manny "The Bull" Fernandez/Buzz Sawyer/ Big Van Vader v. Jushin Liger/
Kengo Kimura/Ricki Choshyu:
I hadn't seen Buzz Sawyer in a long time and I had forgotten what a
great wrestler he was. He was in for most of the exchanges with Liger
and
hung with him all the way showing crazy speed for someone so chubbed
out. He almost looked like a American Dick Togo- a big time ass kicker
with a beer belly who could move like nobody's business. Vader proved
what a king he used to be selling real well for Liger- which is really
all you can ask for a big monster heel, and is a big reason Vader ruled
while- for example- Earthquake did not. Vader took a great baseball
slide
dropkick that sent him smashing hard into the guardrail, causing him to
do the classic Vader freakout where he just tears shit up outside,
which made me nostalgic for my youth. Manny kind of stayed out of the
way, looking around for Shaska Whatley or something. Liger was all fast
and quick but didn't really breakout the flashy stuff as this match was
mostly about Choshu v. Vader, he was wearing the old outfit, which I am
the only person in the world who actually likes. Choshu was Choshu,
Kimura was Kimura, with all that that entails.
Jushin Liger/ OZ v. Hiro Saito/ Scott Norton:
That ain't a typo, OZ the most lamentable of Kevin Nash's lamentable
pre-Diesal gimmicks was right there on my TV screen, on New Japan TV, ON
A MUTHAFUCKIN BEST OF JUSHIN LIGER TAPE, Holy spreadable cheese on
cracker. It was as grand as we all remember- frosted blond hair,
comical removable wizard mask, lime green tights with OZ on the boots,
really crappy wrestling. Liger tried to mix it up with Saito, and Hiro
did
his best, and- if he was good, it would have been good, but he ain't,
so
it wasn't. Liger spent most of the match selling for Norton who really
didn't sell for him. Everyone keeps talking about all these great
matches Norton has had in Japan but I can't seem to remember any, so
screw him- he's a roided out stiff and that's that. OZ hits some big
boots and wins with a crappy Argentinian back breaker and goes on to
bigger ( and only mildly better) things.
Brian Pillman/Jushin Liger v. Chris Beniot/Beef Wellington:
This is from the NWA tag tourney and it kicked major ass. I was at camp
when this thing first aired so this is my first look at this badboy. WCW
let this go for along time and it was paced real well with all four guys
working their asses off. Highlights included Pillman suplexing Beniot
from the inside of the ring to the floor, Beef taking all kinds of
righteous old school bumps including a Psicosis-like Over The Turnbuckle
Straight To the Concrete hip buster, Pillman and Beniot exchanging
bruising chops on the outside, Liger hitting a dope plancha and an ass-
kicking Asai moonsault which I had never seen him do before and for
which the crowd popped like madmen, and the pinnacle- a Brian Pillman
second rope backdrop driver which landed Beniot FLUSH ON HIS FREAKING
NECK nastier than damn near anything else ever on TBS. Wellington got
real blown up near the end- muffing some stuff, but that was easily
overlooked because of the bumps he was taking earlier and the overall
rockingness of this match. The best non-Flair match in the history of
the Clash of the Champions, get your grubby hands on this.
Top of the Super J 3 highlights:
All of the TV coverage of this tourney, most of the matches were really
clipped. The highlights of the non-Liger stuff was a green Koji Kanemoto
getting a win over Negro Casas and being all happy and facesque about
it. The surliness makes all the difference.
Liger had three tourney matches that were shown with some length. The
best was the first match against El Samurai, who had an all black mask
which was way cooler then the mediocre black and red thing he wore for
so long. Highlights of this include a Samurai tope con hilo that lands
him in the first row. He doesn't hit Liger that clean, but absolutely
nails a woman in the first row who didn't have the sense to move out of
the way when Sammy started flying. Liger hit a twisting top rope
clothesline that was absolutely top drawer. Samurai wins this one with a
hurricanrana which was much more impressive before valets started doing
them.
Liger had a match against Honaga where he powerbombed Honaga threw a
table, the rest of the match slips my memory. He also had a neat little
match with Fit Finlay, who beats the crap out of Liger much more then he
did in any of their previous matches, using the elbow to the throat
while Liger head is on the ring apron thing which I love so much. Liger
does alot of flying and stuff to counter, which is not nearly as cool as
if he had just beat the hell out of Finlay. If they did Liger v.
Finlay now it would rule harder then it did back then, because Liger's
style has changed to a much more mat based one, and he's not afraid to
work much stiffer now then he did back then.
El Samurai v. Jushin Liger Top of the Super J final:
They showed all of this and it was NUMBER ONE AND THE BEST. They start
with El Samurai jumping Liger and tossing him out of the ring, he grabs
a glass bottle and starts pasting Liger with it, then he tombstones him
on the floor. This is an homage to the classic Dynamite Kid v. Tiger
Mask match (which I also saw on Saturday) and it was nicely done. Sammy
throws him back in and starts ripping at his mask. Liger then goes nuts
and starts palm thrusting Samurai and rips his mask clean off (good
thing to because it was the silver one not the killer all black one).
This
match continued with both guys beating the tar out of each other; Liger
hits the best capo kicks ever and Samurai leans in to them like a MAN.
The best part of the brawl section is when Samurai has Liger in the
corner and it just punching him in jaw real hard, beating the hell out
of Liger. The match gets highflying after that- with Liger powerbombing
Samurai on the floor and hitting a crazy top rope rolling senton to the
floor, as well as a moonsault to the floor. They do a near fall
exchange with Liger reversing the rana which beat him in the first match
with a powerbomb, and getting the duke with a top rope hurrincanrana
which was allot more impressive before Pitbull 1 did it. The second best
Samurai match ever and in Ligerās top five, freaking awesome.
-phil!
An nCon II moment: HEY! We all talked to John D Williams! Except Phil,
who always doesn't get a chance for some strange reason. Williams was
watching bad wrestling on TV and we were watching the the new AJW so we
accosted and belittled him for it. It was FUN!:) Lee is stoked beyond
recognition about the Rock and Roll Express vs the Poffo Brothers
Memphis tape I brung and I lament not getting to share in the viewing on
Sunday.
@!@!@!@!@!@ NEW JAPAN TV 11/15/97 (taped on 10/31 from Hiroshima Sun
Plaza)
The 3 on 3 Junior match was pretty great if a wee bit flawed.
Kanemoto vs Ka Shin:
Koji pummels the young bastard KaShin- WHICH WELL
HE SHOULD for Ka Shin's cowtowing to the old farts in Liger's group.
Koji tears him a brand new one- pulling him up a few times when he could
have pinned him, because HEY! It's Koji Kanemoto! He's a dick. What do
you want? As ever, the head of the League of Penises has his own
arrogance and surliness to blame as the pathetically trampled Ka Shin
lucks into a cross armbreaker for the upset.
Ka Shin vs Takaiwa:
Takaiwa jumps in and Death Valley Drives the fiery
young punk through the mat, killing him. Dead.
Takaiwa vs Liger:
This is where I gots some problems. Takaiwa creams
Liger in this fall- toprope DVD, Endless Powerbomb, you name it, Takaiwa
hits it. Liger jumps up gets the peppy pin. It's called selling there,
Liger. You know better than this.
Liger vs Ohtani:
This was great as Ohtani continues his hotstreak of
wrestling like an actual MAN. He only cried a little in this one and he
stomps bemasked Liger's head into the ground. Liger freaks out and
takes it up top, hitting a plancha but this was Ohtani's baby, so Liger
sells Shinjiro's lightnin' quick released German Suplex like he's been
there. They do that Ohtani "crawling up to get at the old who is sitting
on the turnbuckle" shtick, BUT they reverse it this time with Ohtani
sitting on the turnbuckle, forcing Liger to play King Of The Hill.
Ohtani gets the Spinning DDT just like everybody gets on him. Go
figga. Ohtani busts him up with a Springboard Leg Lariat, killing him.
Dead.
Ohtani vs Samurai:
OOOH this was good. Samurai starts off by leveling
the surly champ bastard with the Oldguy Palm Thrust. I loved the
deulling "Dick In The Corner" footscrape sequence. El hits all kinds of
cool slopdrop variations off the toprope and on the floor. All in vain,
Ohtani hands him his ass in Shinjiro's most impressive display since
winning the belt. Postmatch was tres Memphis as Liger is incensed and
Ohtani tells him to blow it out of his ass. Liger throws a chair and
threatens to fireball Ohtani or run him over in the parking lot with
Brian Lee's Car or something. It was GREAT.
Muto/ nWo Sting vs Hashimoto/ Yamazaki:
HEY! Mutoh is working again!
This wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. nWo Sting sells a Hash DDT
like nobody in WCW will ever sell it. I will now refer to nWo Sting as
the Good Sting.
Kensuke Sasaki vs Masahiro Chono for IWGP Heavyweight Title:
It's
Official. I've gone insane. I'm certifiable. THIS match is GREAT.
Well, the ending REALLY sucks, but the rest of this match is so good
that the shitty ending doesn't change the fact that this was the best NJ
heavyweight match I've seen since Koshinaka tore his Achilles tendon.
Sasaki sells, the simple story of the NJ heavyweight match I keep
reading about was here in full force and working it because these to are
not complex wrestlers amd this was not a complex match but they made so
much of what small scope of psychology they were shooting for that it
really worked well. Chono is really good in this, wearing down Sasaki,
working for the STF, selling the schizo offense of Kensuke's really
well, keeping the match focused and keeping Sasaki focused on selling
the arm and the leg to make sure the story of the match doesn't drift
off into the realm of the NEW JAPN NO-SELL zone- which this match
avoided like the plague. This was intense and deeply into the 1988 NWA
realm of main event matches. I dug this match the most.
@%@%@% SINGLES GOING STEADY! *%*%*%*%*
NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLETT! HEY! I saw that TigerMask vs Dynamite Kid
Water Bottle 2 outta 3 falls match at the nCon II. (Jon- who had to
work the Nght of the Bundy-Hooter Girls Trist so he missed the roadtrip,
brought this and the Uncle Elmer Wedding all on the same tape so he is
definately not a man you'd want to cross.:) I had seen this before but
forgot that this was quite the Lawler vs Austin Idol level bloodfeud but
with REALLY hot moves. I love the true sense of chaos that you get when
you watch 80's All Japan (and 80's AJW I'm finding also). It's all over
the place and so really AMERICAN in feel. Dynamite was such the awesome
surly English Bastard. I wish we could have seen the Dibiase match
before the voyage north.
HOLDING STEADY AT NUMBER TWO! From the 11/13/97 Pancrase Special, Guy
Metzer beating the shit out of Masa Fuchi was pretty impressive. I'm
guessing this was one of those "Pancrase Arrangements" where it's
decided that neither take it to the mat for the most part, because both
stand there and strike for all their worth which is of course Metzer's
forte so he disposes of Fuchi with the HELLISH shot to the head. Fuchi
crumples in a scary way.
CLIMBING THE CHARTS AT NUMBER THREE! From the spunky J'd promotion, the
latest in the great resurgence of the True Grand Old Dame of Women's
wrestling- Jaguar Yokota. Cooga/ Jaguar Yokota vs The Bloody Phoenix/
Lioness Asuka showcases the spectacularness of the
at-one-time-thought-washed-up Jaguar Yakota. She drags Bloody's sorry
ass to a good match and can make Asuka look still viable. Cooga.... Oh
Cooga......
THE DARKHORSE AT NUMBER FOUR! There is this weird match on the Pancrase
special involving a dyed-blaze-red haired guy in with a guy I couldn't
recognize. The mystery man hits a dragonscrew and everybody in the
booth laughs. The Red-haired guy has PUNK written on his boots. He
went on to win with a Poison Idea Cross-Arm Minor Threat Breaker, I
believe.
&*&*&*&*& THE HIDEOUS CUTOUT BIN!! #$#$#$#$
- Jado vs Gedo was on the J'd show mentioned above and it's about as
crappy as one would expect from a J'd undercard match, but the
difference is that most of the time the J'd undercard has women who are
leaning towards a life outside of wrestling because they have had such
an illustriously long career wrestling (HEY! How's that for tact! WHOMP
ASS!) against greener than green youngsters, so they have an excuse for
sucking. These guys have been there and back and there is no use for
this sub-WCW Pro display.
- HEY! Yuki Kondo vs Leon Dijk was about as boring as Pancrase can get.
Think Ken Shamrock wrestling Oleg Taktarov with neither wanting to make
a mistake. I still love both of these guys though, I just hope they
never get these kids back in the ring together..
NEXT WEEK: BENOIT VS OHTANI! LUCHA LIBRE! WHATEVER I CAN GET MY HANDS
ON!
NANIWA~!
Dean Rasmussen, Juventudiac.
Because we shoot to kill and you know we always will- itsa bomber itas
bomber.
