Match # 18: Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid (4/23/81) Hell yes! Tiger Mask makes his first appearance on the set. I totally respect TM detractors (and Dynamite negaters too), as there are some valid points, but I simply mark out big time for this match up. It’s fun. Hopefully that feeling is validated in the work.

Match # 17: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Steve Keirn (11/6/80) We saw this one early on (Match # 2). It had a good storyline to a 2/3 falls match, and now the long awaited rematch begins.

Match # 16: Chavo Guerrero vs. Kengo Kimura (11/3/80) Joined in progress?! What’s this crap? I’ve been waiting on this one ever since the first Kimura/Chavo tango. We come in mid-hold, friends.

Match # 15: Bob Backlund vs. Stan Hansen (9/30/80) Finally, a match where I have a rooting interest. I like Hansen. He’s tough and bad ass, and is style works for me. Backlund is a total goof who comes out here waving to the crowd like a geeky Howdy Doody. I* hope Hansen destroys Backlund, who [...]

Match # 14: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Ron Starr (9/30/80) No idea who Ron Starr is, but he has curly hair and an outfit that can only be described as era appropriate. He looks like a jobber, but there is most likely a good reason this is on the set.

Match # 13: Chavo Guerrero vs. Kengo Kimura (9/30/80) After Kimura’s performance against Fujinami, his stock is rising with me. Chavo was in my favorite match from disc one, also with the great Fujinami. This could be fun.

F.I.S.T. vs. The Colony (Chikara 2/20/09) I’m taking an extended holiday vacation until the first Monday of January and partly using it to enjoy a stack of wrestling DVDs I have. Plowing through my Chikara stack, I hit up a show from much earlier in the year dubbed “If the Airplane is Snowed In, Put [...]

Match # 12: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Kengo Kimura (9/25/80) This seriously has the makings of a mirror match. Go ahead, make fun of me. They both have similar hair, bodies, and the same black tights. I’m screwed here once they start rolling around.

The live and streaming perspectives converge as we wrap up the ROH year with a re-cap of the company’s first live Internet pay-per-view, Final Battle 2009. We also discuss Friday’s event and the world title situation in light of Saturday’s surprising result. [display_podcast]

Match # 11: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Tony Londos (9/19/80) I have no idea who Tony Londos is, but if he’s anywhere near as good as Tony Rocco, this match will rule. Random white guy in black trunks meets WWWF Champ AKA Asian dude in black trunks. It’s on.
Friday, December 18, 2009
Match # 10: Antonio Inoki vs. Stan Hansen (9/11/80) The fourth and final from the first set between these two. A good man and member of the committee that selected the matches for this set told me to hold on. He said that last one was his least favorite, but this one had something special. We [...]

Match # 9: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Tony Rocco (9/11/80) Fujinami makes yet another appearance on the first disk. Rocco may or may not be British. I’m a World of Sport mark, that’s all.
