TAPE 36
Quality: EX (1st Gen Convert)
Length: 2.25 hrs (DVD)
UWFI - 1/16/95 (By this point in their history, UWFI was coming down after the high
of their awesome run in 1993/94. The quality of the shows began to dip just a bit
and the crowds weren't quite as hot. This is a pretty good show, highlighted by
the "dream" match of Vader vs Albright and a terrific tag match. I've got a 1st gen convert,
so quality is EX.)
??? vs ??? (kickboxing)
Kenichi Yamamoto vs Hiromitsu Kanehara (Incredible - a 15-0 squash!)
Yoshihiro Takayama vs Thomas Burton
Bad News Allen vs Tatsuo Nakano (Weird - Bad News submits to a leg hold repeatedly
by saying "yeah" but the ref doesn't stop the match. They roll into another
hold and Allen again submits. This time, the ref stops it.)
Yoji Anjoh & Masahito Kakihara vs Naoki Sano vs Kazushi Sakuraba (***1/2!)
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Gene Lydick (Lydick does a VERY impressive German suplex, lifting
Tamura off his hands and knees and throwing him, all in one motion.)
Nobuhiko Takada & Billy Scott vs Kazuo Yamazaki & James Stone (The fans, who had
been dead up to this point, heat up immediately for the Takada/Yamazaki
confrontation. Yamazaki dominates it, then - literally - the match is over less
than 2 minutes later. WTF? That's just bad booking guys!)
Vader vs Gary Albright (Vader stiffs Gary several times, but this is overall pretty
disappointing since each guy negates the other's strength.)
