Zero-One - Masato Tanaka vs Alexander Otsuka (2003)

I came across this channel with tons of early 00's Puro. I came across this match and wanted to watch it. I have not seen a lot of Alexander Otsuka matches, but have liked what I have seen.

This match was pretty cool in general. They got across that Tanaka wanted to beat Otsuka's brains in and that Otsuka was only looking to survive.

They go outside and the referee is counting. Which throws up a warning flag for a bullshit finish.

I don't mind a count out or double count out. But I can't think of a single one I have seen in a Japan match in the 90s or 2000s.

Otherwise I thought it was cool that Otsuka was willing to settle for a tie.

Road Warriors & Johnny Ace vs Jinsei Shinzaki, Jun Akiyama & Kenta Kobashi

Match I came across on Youtube. Think this is the Roadies first match after leaving the WWF in 99. First thing I notice is how psyched Johnny Ace is to be the third man to the Road Warriors. Like he has wanted this for years.

It is so cool to see the Roadies kick some ass again. That second WWF run was brutal with LOD being treated like regular guys. Here they are full fledged ass kickers, giving Kobashi, Akiyama and Shinzaki what for.

JPN team are very good in this obviously, doing a great job eating offense and hitting their own stuff.

Highlight of the match is the three man Ace Crusher.

Roadies are a bit rusty, but they go full speed the entire time.

Umaga vs RVD 2007

WWE RAW Umaga vs Rob Van Dam by Bigredmachinefan

I remember watching this back in 07 and it catching my attention. Umaga was my favorite wrestler in the world and I have always liked Rob Van Dam.

I liked the work they did with the sleeper and Umaga hitting a sweet reversal on the outside. RVD was really effective in using the hit and run offense and the finish was great.
