Undercard digest
Tag Tournament Final: Genichiro Tenryu & The Great Kabuki vs. George Takano & Shunji Takano. Not much different from what these guys did in All Japan. It was stiff, solid, hard fought, and unspectacular. Tenryu & George carried it. Tenryu brought intensity to the match, while George brought a lot of fire and energy. The match was not that long for a final (the semifinals were earlier in the night) and the finish was more surprising than convincing, but overall it was quite good because of the team leaders. ***1/4

Undercard digest
Genichiro Tenryu vs. George Takano. Takano was still trying to wrestle like a junior and Tenryu followed suit. I appreciated a lot of what they were trying to do, but the execution left something to be desired. The structuring of the match was quite good though. Tenryu did as much as he could to get the fans to believe in Takano. It was also an entertaining match, so with Takano being shown to have a chance it was easy to see why the fans could get so into it. Takano provides a lot more action than Tenryu's other SWS opponents. He even did three different dives, for instance. Tenryu did some flying as well as selling for Takano a lot and eventually giving Takano his usual ass kicking. The psychology wasn't great, but all the big spots made up for it for the most part. It seemed a little contrived at times, but even if it wasn't the smartest match the idea of what they were going for was good. ***3/4

UWF Rules: Masakatsu Funaki vs. Naoki Sano 10:23. While Sano's PWFG matches with Suzuki & Shamrock were epic match of the year attempts, this was a fine serious match sandwiched between a bunch of cornball tomfoolery. I liked it, but as with all of Funaki's matches this year, it felt too patient, especially early on. It was wrestled as though they were going 20 minutes, which is what would have happened had it taken place in PWFG, until they packed virtually all the action into the final 45 second explosion. A good and interesting match, but hardly the classic they were capable of. ***

Animal & Hawk (The Legion of Doom) vs. Hulk Hogan & Genichiro Tenryu 14:03
Kenichi Oya (Hisakatsu Oya) vs. Masao Orihara 11:41. These guys were still on the green side, but they at least fought their heart out. This was the best effort on the show & probably the only match that overacheived. It was just a humble opener, not something you'd recommend, but it was at least less formulaic than the interpromotional matches & you felt like, despite too many lame rest holds, they did what they could to give you your moneys worth.
Samson Fuyuki vs. Tatsumi Kitahara 10:56
Yoshiaki Fujiwara vs. Fumihiro Niikura 9:42. Fujiwara is a much different fighter when he's in with someone he should absolutely manhandle. That would be more understandable in a shoot, but it's like, he doesn't fear retaliation so he's happy to be a condescending bully. Fujiwara really opens up here, and just unloads on Niikura in addition to clowning him. Niikura, better known as Hiroshi Hase's partner in the Viet Cong Express, is a good technical wrestler in his own right, and probably should have been in UWF instead of kicking around in Pioneer. Fujiwara doesn't really give him any kind of chance though, even mocking his Achilles' tendon hold by resting on his side with his hand on his ear before showing Niikura how the move is done.
Masakatsu Funaki vs. Naoki Sano 23:42. This was at least epic in length, though not in quality. They started stronger than their previous bout with a lot of standup, even though it was initially a bit too much toward sparring. Things picked up with Funaki dropping Sano with a palm strike, and it was almost a short night for Naoki, as they redid the finish from 3/30, but this time Sano was more prepared, and thus able to defend the armbar. From here, the standup was more aggressive, but again, it never really seemed like Sano had anything to truly threaten Funaki. Sano had some top control, and could land a damaging strike now and then, but Funaki had more speed and more technique, even a low blow couldn't slow him down for long. This was definitely the better match of the two, as it was not only much better developed, but also got going a lot quicker. However, it was almost as if Funaki was too good for the match to approach its potential. This should have blown Sano vs. Shamrock away, and while the striking was certainly better, it felt like Sano had answers for Shamrock and could win that match, whereas this one he'd really have to just get lucky. Still, a good match that was light years ahead of the rest of the show. ***
The Great Kabuki & Takashi Ishikawa vs. Kendo Nagasaki & Koji Ishinriki 8:25
Koji Kitao vs. Earthquake 7:19. SWS booker The Great Kabuki put Tenta up to provoking Kitao in hopes of getting Kitao expelled from the promotion. From the outset, Tenta didn't really cooperate with Kitao's attempts to engage, provoking him by making him look too slow & deliberate. Due to this, there was never really a match, but rather mostly a staring contest with Tenta deflecting Kitao's sporadic attempts to do something, and dismissing him with a slap or some jawing. Kitao, who took exception to Tenta being a bit rough on a takedown, did escalate things, but he really had no other choice but to make legitimate offensive attempts given Tenta had shown to be completely unwilling to go along with the usual fakery. Kitao didn't show much honor in this though either, teasing the eye gouge in a sort of theatrical Jackie Chan Snake Fist sort of manner. When Tenta grabbed Kitao's arm trying to lock up, Kitao snapped at him with the eye gouge attempt, which Tenta luckily avoided. Kitao continued to stand with fingers poised, prompting Tenta to start swearing at him and questioning if they were really going to be blinding each other tonight? Eventually, the ref tried to intervene in their jawing contest, but wasn't as quick or alert as Tenta, so Kitao was able to connect with a kick to his back, taking him out for the DQ. Tenta taunted Kitao with a victory pose, and Kitao seemed prepared to just walk away, content to escape the fight by getting himself purposely DQ'd, but Kitao grabbed the mic, breaking kayfabe by telling the crowd that pro wrestling is fake and his opponent Tenta, also a decorated sumo who was undefeated in his brief career, was fake. Kitao was promptly fired after this incident.
Bret Hart vs. George Takano 11:43. Sure, in theory this is a good matchup, but Bret just did his one WWF heel match, requiring a low skill level & not really working together, so whatever interchangeable offense Takano brought essentially didn't actually matter. They meandered through some middling brawling from Bret & uninspired limb work, never really serving any purpose or gaining any momentum. The execution was mostly fine, and if it were in the US, the offense would probably have been better than most of the rest of the card, but it was such a whatever match, with Takano hitting a few low level athletic moves before eventually winning with a diving body press.
Randy Savage vs. Genichiro Tenryu 8:03. This show really came down to whether Savage was going to be up for the challenge, but unfortunately he was in full on Larry Z stall mode, and beyond repeating his two signature flying moves, basically just cheated. Tenryu got a few good shots in, but it felt like he was trying not to break Savage in half to the point it's debatable whether his powerbombs could have broken an egg.
Hulk Hogan vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu 7:54. As much as Hogan deserves every bit of ridicule, he was the only WWF guy on the show that understood to modify his style for Japanese rings, dropping most of his schtick in favor of less unbelievable technical wrestling & harder hitting. It was more like half a match as they just abruptly ended it without Yatsu ever really doing any actual moves beyond the bulldog, but Hogan was busted open hardway, and definitely took the stiffest shots of the outsiders. Not, of course, a good performance by Hogan, but at least he tried.

Minoru Suzuki vs. Apollo Sugawara 9:03. One of the most bizarre shoots I've ever seen. Suzuki was trained to fight & Sugawara was trained to make things easy on one another, and while this was supposed to be a work, they were just never on the same page. Apparently Sugawara refused to accept the planned result that he was to lose to Suzuki, but at the same time, didn't try to actually go out there and beat him. Suzuki approached it like another PWFG match where he didn't simply feed himself to Sugawara, and Sugawara just seemed completely befuddled as to what to do. Suzuki was using real footwork and backing him into the corner like he was fighting for real, but he wasn't actually trying to hurt Sugawara. Sugawara just seemed spooked though by Suzuki walking him down and landing a few quick, light shots that at least resembled real blows in their technique. When Suzuki shook off the lock up rather than falling into a suplex or something, Sugawara had no idea how to handle this invading menace, and began to shell up even more. In a pro wrestling sense, nothing had actually happened so far, but now Suzuki began to grow frustrated, and started toying with Sugawara, slapping him more to incite and embarrass him into committing to some sort of attack than to hurt him. Sugawara didn't seem to have any interest in figuring out how to deal with this foreign shooting thing, and continued to just hang close to the ropes doing nothing beyond offering a lock up that Suzuki continued to refuse to accept. Sugawara eventually got tired of looking like a pussy and getting punked after Suzuki connected with a solid palm to his face, and finally charged, locking Suzuki up against the ropes, but Suzuki got the underhooks and shut him right down. Suzuki got a couple good open hand combos in, and Sugawara just looked so foolish trying to answer with one of those awkward, pro wrestling style wish they were front kicks. Sugawara finally got a good short punch in when Suzuki had him pinned in the corner, and they began to exchange angry headbutts in the clinch as the ref did his best to wrestle Suzuki off Sugawara, and a second tried to untangle their legs from the outside while an official almost made it into the ring probably to call it before Suzuki finally disengaged. Sugawara began complaining to Suzuki then the ref, only to eat a solid upper palm. When the ref instead complained to Sugawara for trying to land a few no technique closed fist punches that Suzuki didn't hang around for, Sugawara said the hell with it and just walked out jawing at the ref, who immediately awarded Suzuki the victory.
John Tenta vs. Koji Kitao 7:19. SWS booker The Great Kabuki put Tenta up to provoking Kitao in hopes of getting Kitao expelled from the promotion. From the outset, Tenta didn't really cooperate with Kitao's attempts to engage, provoking him by making him look too slow & deliberate. Due to this, there was never really a match, but rather mostly a staring contest with Tenta deflecting Kitao's sporadic attempts to do something, and dismissing him with a slap or some jawing. Kitao, who took exception to Tenta being a bit rough on a takedown, did escalate things, but he really had no other choice but to make legitimate offensive attempts given Tenta had shown to be completely unwilling to go along with the usual fakery.

Don Arakawa vs. Goro Tsurumi 5:41
Masao Orihara vs. Kenichi Oya 10:43
Masakatsu Funaki vs. Fumihiro Niikura 7:56. While the match was again technically good, it was nowhere near the level of his previous two matches against Naoki Sano, as it was never even remotely competitive to the point I've already forgotten if Niikura was allowed a singular piece of offense. Nonetheless, Funaki is the best of the Japanese fighters at constantly adjusting his position on the ground to maintain control. Though he doesn't have a strong background in either wrestling or BJJ, his movements are seemingly naturally a lot better than the other fighters, even if they still fail sometimes due to the faulty pro wrestling notion that there's a place in real fighting for no body control appendage locks. This movement is crucial to the success of his style because more than the other shoot fighters, his concept of realism is based around an economy of high spots. Funaki is one of the better strikers, but he really tries not to utilize much of it, instead preferring to set up submissions on the mat, and use a few powerful shots for knockdowns either to maintain interest or to lead to the finish. Funaki was much more respectful of Niikura than Fujiwara was on 4/1/91, but it seems that Canada is the only place where it's good to be part of the Viet Cong, as Niikura was again nothing more than a jobber.

Masakatsu Funaki vs. Jerry Flynn 5:19. Funaki treated this like a shoot, in other words, even though his standup is good, he had no interest in being on his feet with the lanky kickboxer just because that's what Flynn is good at. Flynn's attempts to counter on the mat were all immediately thwarted by a cleverly repositioning Funaki, so really all he could do was grab the ropes and hope to get a quick KO before Funaki took him down again. Flynn did get one high kick knockdown, but still never really seemed in the fight.
