TAPE 179

Quality: EX (1st Gen Convert)

Length: 2 hrs (DVD)

UWFI WORLD PRO WRESTLING TOURNEY 1ST ROUND - 4/3/94 (Not quite as good as the later
	rounds in the tournament, but still - this *IS* UWFI in 1994, so it's still a really
	good tape.  The only real drawback are poor booking decisions - Takada vs Yamazaki
	in the first round?  Lydick vs Berkovich?  I've got a 1st gen convert so VQ is EX.)

	Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Tatsuo Nakano (SUPER stiff)
	Yoshihiro Takayama vs Yuko Miyato
	Gary Albright Interview (Great stuff as he rips on Ken Shamrock, Akira Maeda, and others for
 		not showing up for the UWFI tourney.)
	Kiyoshi Tamura vs Bad News Allen 
	Gene Lydick vs Vladimir Berkovich
	Victor Zangiev vs Yoji Anjoh
	Masahito Kakihara vs Dan Severn
	Vader vs Salman Hashimikov (Wow, does this match SUCK)
	Gary Albright vs Billy Scott
	Nobuhiko Takada vs Kazuo Yamazaki (This match is just further evidence of the misuse of
 		Yamazaki in UWFI.  I'm not saying he should've won the match - it's obvious that the whole
 		tourney was designed to bring about a Takada vs Vader rematch, so clearly Yamazaki has to
 		lose to one guy or the other at some point - but to have him lose in the first round? 
 		That's just stupid.  Still, Yamazaki is a pro and this is a good, albeit very short,
 		match.)
