TAPE 419

Quality: EX (1st Gen Convert)

Length: 2.75 hrs (DVD)

WAR RYOGOKU CRUSH NIGHT - 12/13/96 (Pretty good tape from WAR featuring guys from UWFI, New
 	Japan, WCW and, of course, WAR.  Worth having for the J Crown match and the Takada/Tenryu
 	rematch.  I've got a 1st gen convert so quality is EX.)

	Takashi Ishizawa vs Daikakubo Benkei vs Jun Kikuchi & Tomohiro Ishii
	Masakazu Fukui & Kamizake vs Taru & Takashi Okumura (clipped)
	Doink the Clown & Battle Ranger vs Keizo Matsuda & Keisuke Yamada (clipped)
	Ryuma Go vs Samurai Max
	Tatsuo Nakano vs Satoshi Yoneyame
	Bam Bam Bigelow & Nobukazu Hirai vs Arashi & Osamu Tachihikari (clipped)
	Nobutaka Araya & Koki Kitihara vs Kazuo Yamazaki & Takashi Iizuka
	Lance Storm & Yuji Yasuruoka vs Tiger Mask Sayama & Masaaki Mochizuki (This is the perfect
 		type of match for Sayama - a tag match where he can jump in, do his stuff in short bursts,
 		and jump out.  He ends up looking good here.)
	ULTIMO DRAGON VS REY MISTERIO JR (Ultimo defends the J Crown in this excellent match.  Rey's
 		stuff hasn't aged well, but when he's in with somebody that can control him, like Malenko
 		or Ultimo, he can look real good.  Excellent match.)
	John Tenta vs Koji Kitao (AAAAAH!!!! Get this off my screen!)
	Nobuhiko Takada vs Genichiro Tenryu (Fun match, but not up to the level of the first one. ***
 		or so)
