TAPE 321

Quality: EX (*MASTER*)

Length: 1.5 hrs (DVD)

UWF "Heart Beat" - 12/22/88 (Excellent show from the shoot-style UWF.  Every match on here is at
 	least good, with the Backlund/Takada match being great.  I've got a DVD master so quality 
	is EX!)

	Yoji Anjoh vs Tatsuo Nakano (***1/2)
	Yuko Miyato vs Kazuo Yamazaki
	Norman Smiley vs Akira Maeda 
	NOBUHIKO TAKADA VS BOB BACKLUND (Great match!  Backlund is terrific here; if he'd wrestled
 		shoot-style full-time, he would have been great.  Takada drills Backlund in the face 
		with a kick, bloodying - maybe breaking - his nose.  So Backlund retaliates by doing 
		his "spin around the guy's eye" move that looks so fake - legit.  Takada gets a 
		nasty looking raspberry on his eye.  Easily Backlund's best post-1984 match.)
