TAPE 348
Quality: EX (Master Convert)
Length: 3 hrs (2 DVD)
UWFI - 12/22/91 (This is one of UWFI's attempts to add an air of legitimacy to their style by
bringing in a couple of boxers to fight in shoots. It doesn't quite work, but this is a
good tape nonetheless. I've got a master convert so VQ is perfect.)
Masakazu Maeda vs Hiromitsu Kanehara
Peter Russell vs Makoto Oe (kickboxing)
Jim Boss vs Masahito Kakihara (Vicious match)
Yuko Miyato vs Tom Burton
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Gary Albright
Bob Backlund vs Yoji Anjoh (Backlund wins with the chicken wing crossface!)
Tatsuo Nakano vs Kazuo Yamazaki
Billy Scott vs James Warring (Wrestler vs Boxer: This is a shoot that goes the distance.
Maybe the worst decision ever as Scott gets the win when he does absolutely nothing the
whole match except throw Warring over the top rope.)
Nobuhiko Takada vs Trevor Berbick (Wrestler vs Boxer: This is the infamous shoot where
Berbick walks out on the match. Berbick has apparently been told you can't kick below
the waist, which Takada keeps doing. Berbick pleads to the ref for help, and the ref
apparently tells him that he's right, that kicks have to be above the waist. Takada
keeps kicking Berbick while he's talking to the ref and then, even after Berbick is told
kicks have to be above the waist, continues kicking Berbick's legs. Berbick gets pissed
off and walks out! After the match, Berbick is shown in the locker room and he can't
even stand from the pain in his legs. Wild stuff!)
