TAPE 1000
Quality: EX (*MASTER*)
Length: 80 min (DVD)
UWF "Starting Over" - 5/12/88 (The debut show of the re-formed UWF, the idea here is to serve as
kind of an introduction to the fed and to the style. They still have some kinks to work out
at this point - there's no scoring system in place, they're still counting pinfalls, some of
the work is a little too "pro-style" for a shoot-style group like the UWF, and there's only 6
guys on the roster - but the action is solid and very enjoyable. I've got a DVD master so
quality is EX!)
Nobuhiko Takada vs Yuko Miyato (Exhibition match - They put over Takada as a stud here as he
beats Miyato fairly easily. The match continues for the whole ten minutes though.)
Yoji Anjoh vs Tatsuo Nakano (Good match that goes long - like 25 minutes - and allows both
guys to look good. The only knock I have is that it's a little too "pro" in style.)
Akira Maeda vs Kazuo Yamazaki (The dead crowd finally wakes up somewhat for this one. This
match goes long too, about 25 minutes, and Maeda does a good job of allowing Yamazaki to
look great. Kazuo scores several knockdowns before Maeda finally takes over.)
