<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Night 2 of NJPW Best of the Super Jr. 24 is set to be a good one! This is the first show of the series that will start with a few exhibition and grudge matches and then end with four tournament matches. This is a format that they will use for the majority of their events. I will try to cover as much of this tournament as possible. </span></h3>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">TAKA Michinoku vs. Taichi</span></div>
</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Both Taichi and TAKA are from the stable Suzuki-Gun. You can see a bit of hesitation on both of them. TAKA is the leader of the faction and is coming off of a big win against Jushin Liger from Night One. Taichi had lost to Ricochet last night. That only made him hungry for the win tonight. Unfortunately, it is against his stable leader. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Both guys are reluctant to start. They pace for a long time. It appears as if this is how they are going to play it. The match becomes a game. Dodging each other's moves. Dipping in and out of the ring. Avoiding contact with one and other for a good long time. They clash a bit but it's nothing of note. This plays out as a comedy match and ends like one too. Couldn't say that this was a good match. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Marty Scurll vs. Dragon Lee</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Dragon Lee had the standout performance yesterday. I loved that damn main event from night one between Lee and Takahashi. It was killer. I am excited to see something different from Scurll. His match yesterday against Ospreay was alright but felt too rehearsed. This seemed much more on point. Again the crowd is solidly behind Dragon Lee. The don't hesitate to chant his name. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Marty's antics drag the match down. It could have been a lot better if it were presented in a more traditional style. Unfortunately, Scurll knows how to wrestle in a more independent-western style that will hopefully evolve during the tournament. The spots are nice. They just don't belong in this atmosphere. Points for trying. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Dragon Lee carries this match as traditionally as possible but it is too far gone. His dives to the outside are a thing of beauty. Lee sells like a champ even when Scurll does the whole finger snapping spot. Lee even hit a beautiful Standing Moonsault Side Slam, but it couldn't keep The Villain down. It was a Del Rio-esque Hanging Chest Double Stomp that put Scurll away. Welcome to Japan Marty.</span><br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Jushin "Thunder" Liger vs. Hiromu Takahashi</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Knock down and drag out. Jushin Liger showed that he still has just what it takes to go with today's generation. He was hot out of the gate and took it right to the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. However, Hiromu Takahashi was ready. He had come off of a fresh loss from last night against Dragon Lee and was geared up for Thunder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Both guys gave each other hell. Liger had that amazing running flip to the outside and then gave Takahashi a brainbuster on the floor. I was impressed. I was on my feet when Liger had nearly pinned Takahashi after a Liger Bomb. I cheered like hell for the ending sequence which saw Takahashi going over. I am slowly becoming a fan of Hiromu. His apron bomb to Liger would have given Kevin Owens a smile. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">When Will Ospreay met Ricochet last year for the first time in New Japan magic took place. It was my Match of the Year. Will this matchup be a repeat? Our two competitors are amazing in the ring. They have the potential to produce a bout of that caliber. Ricochet is already fairing pretty well. He had a good match with Taichi on night one and looked to continue the trend tonight. Will Ospreay isn't happy about losing to Scurll on night one and is looking for retribution.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Ospreay brings a lot of aggression into this match. He wears it on his face. Ricochet brings his coolness and cockiness. Both seem to piss Ospreay off. They go for some really good scripted flippy moves and the crowd eats it up. Forgiving the few sloppy moments. Then they start matching each other's moves. They play the strong style card as the match starts to slow. Both guys give long rest spots. Then go back to producing beautiful but predictable spots. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Both really worked hard both deserved to go over. But after a ton of pin attempts it felt like either guy could. They definitely knew that they were headlining this card. They trade strong blows. They take each other to the limit. These guys go in there and beat the shit out of each other and it's glorious. The Springboard Dragonrana was spectacular. These guys take it home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span>

However, that Ospreay versus Ricochet match killed it. Every year this tournament is destined to produce amazing matches. This year is no different. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><b>This is going to be a huge year for NJPW. They have expressed interest in expanding their reach far beyond Japan. While they have taken Europe by storm in the past few years, they will now be focusing on the United States. Katsuhiko Harada, the President of New Japan Pro Wrestling, has said that his wish is to gather a roster, build a dojo and create a product for the US market. I could not be more excited. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><b>Just look at the competitors that we have competing at the Best of the Super Juniors this year! Old guys like Liger and Michinoku but also younger guys like ACH, Marty Scurll and Dragon Lee. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><b>I may not cover every day of the Super Juniors. But I will try to cover what I watch!</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><b>TAKA Michinoku vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger</b></span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: justify;">This one was exactly what I wanted to start things off. Good wrestling from two guys that I am really familiar with. I grew up watching TAKA on WWF television as he was the Light-Heavyweight Champion and leader of Kai-en-Tai. It appears that he still is. At least in some capacity. Jushin Liger looked good too. He is obviously slower than his first appearance on WCW Monday Nitro but still moves like he belongs. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">TAKA and Liger traded slow and calculated spots. Some of them were pretty sloppy but still got the crowd going. TAKA and Liger can still go. I would love to see these guys meet up again. It looked like TAKA was playing the jerk afterward and might have set something up for the future. The match ended when TAKA wrapped Liger up in a crazy pinning move. This gave TAKA the win. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Tiger Mask vs. Volador Jr.</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">These two went out there with something to prove. I was actually impressed by whichever numer Tiger Mask this one is. Volador is always good. They beat each other in the ring and around it. The crowd was really into it. Volador did a pretty amazing dive to the outside and a really nice second rope moonsault that was met with knees to the chest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Volador Jr. pulled out the win with some amazing work. He took a really slow tombstone but couldn't stay down. He put up some great offense against Tiger Mask who met him at every advance. It was a Moonsault Side Slam that put Tiger Mask away and advanced Volador to the end. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Ricochet vs. Taichi</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">I am not too familiar with Taichi. I had reviewed a match that he had with Atsushi Kotoge from 2015 and I liked it. I really liked his performance. The same is to be said with this match. It feels to me that Taichi has a lot of western influence in his wrestling. That mixed with Ricochet's high flying makes for a pretty awesome affair. Ricochet is awesome during this match too. Of course he is known for taking to the skies and he doesn't disappoint. He actually puts Taichi away with a Shooting Star splash. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">I am all for Ricochet going all the way this year. He has the push, he has the potential and the field is littered with older names. Admittedly, he is no spring chicken himself. But he has that crowd in his hand. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">ACH vs. BUSHI</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">I am the least familiar with BUSHI. I have seen him fight but nothing stands out. ACH on the other hand has been turning heads for a good while. He is no stranger to NJPW. At Wrestle Kingdom 11, ACH had put on the mask and performed as Tiger Mask the Dark. A win here would set him among the favorites to win. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">The story here shows BUSHI underestimating the new-ish ACH. ACH came in with the fury and the two traded spots both inside and outside of the ring. BUSHI was vicious and ACH played to the hope spots about half way through. The crowd started to fade and surprisingly so did I. I don't attribute this to ACH but more BUSHI. He seemed to take a slower and more methodical approach. It took some comedy spot shenanigans from ACH to get me into it again. </span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">From that point it was a moderately paced independent-style match. It had ACH coming back from the beatdown he had taken earlier and prevailed with a Michinoku</span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"> Driver. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">KUSHIDA is in a groove right now. He is just coming off of the heat that he generated in the Best of the Super Juniors back in 2015. He wrestles matches all over the world including matches for Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and others. El Desperado comes from the stable Suzuki-Gun and has been really impressive from what I have seen. I wasn't expecting this match and was happy with what I had gotten. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Desperado performed most of the offence during the match. </span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">He even had a really impressive dive to the outside that took out some ringside officials. </span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Desperado worked on the knee of KUSHIDA as he had been favoring it all match. KUSHIDA would get these windows of reversals and offense and at times took the reigns. But, </span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">El Desperado continued to attack the knee. How would KUSHIDA go on in the tournament</span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"> with a bum knee? However, KUSHIDA would answer Desperado's attacks with jumping DDT's and quick kicks, jabs and hope spots. The ref even went down at one point. Surprisingly this would all lead to El Desperado upending KUSHIDA and beating him! I was stunned! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Marty Scurll vs. Will Ospreay</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Wow. Marty Scurll is on a tear. In Ring of Honor, Scurll had officially played a part in literally kicking Adam Cole out of the Bullet Club and replacing him. Now a full fledged member, Marty Scurll is looking to bring home the Best of the Super Juniors for this evil gaijin team. Across the squaredcircle from Scurll is Will Ospreay, last year's winner of Best of the Super Junior and quite possibly the wrestler in the business at the moment. Ospreay would really turn heads if he could win the BOSJ twice in a row.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">These two are not strangers in the ring. However, I believe that this is their first meetup in Japan. It's a great show. Scurll lives up to his nickname and makes for a terrific villain. The Japanese crowd loves Ospreay. Every move he makes is met with oohs and ahhs. They fly around the ring at each other giving a good performance but nothing that we haven't seen before. I suggest you go back and watch their match at Revolution Pro from last year. That one was a Barn Burner. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">I guess the biggest difference between that match and this one is the viciousness that both guys exerted. Unfortunately, most of their spots felt too rehearsed. They are too comfortable in doing the same thing. They did add some variety though so that was nice. It was one of the more entertaining matches of the night. The Villain put Ospreay out with a leaping, catching rear naked choke. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">After that last match this one would have to be something special. Taguchi is great. I like him just fine. But it's the comedy that hinders him the most. I am not familiar with Kanemaru and this is my first impression of him. Dark. He looks like a cold motherfucker. The crowd is clapping for that outrageous Funky Weapon music and this Yoshinobu just stands there like he could care less. He is intimidating. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">I feel as if Taguchi is the Dolph Ziggler of New Japan. Everyone loves him. They just don't want him anywhere near the main event. This match was another example of Taguchi's genius. He has no issue getting the crowd behind him. But can he cut it when Kanemaru wants to go toe-to-toe? Of course he can. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">Something about that hard exterior that Kanemaru brought to the ring is lost when Taguchi butt bumps him in the head. The match starts to go in a serious direction but it still has that comedy vibe. I spied people leaving their seats too. Most likely to get a bathroom break. They ended up going into a pretty decent match but it was far from great. Taguchi came up with the win. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana"; font-size: 16pt;">Dragon Lee vs. Hiromu Takahashi</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">The main event of the evening saw CMLL star Dragon Lee competing against the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi. This is a match that I was really excited to see. Takahashi has been another wrestler that is tearing it up at the moment. He is exciting in and out of the ring. Definitely a performer that gets it. Dragon Lee is a really impressive upstart that turned heads against Kamaitachi at last year's CMLL/NJPW show Fantasticamania. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">The crowd is on their feet for this match. What a main event! They trade blows, exchange spots and beat the crap out of each other much to the delight of the very vocal Japanese crowd. Their chop and slap exchange in the beginning is enough to get an ovation. Dragon Lee is a viable future threat to Takahashi's title. That is something that has to be in the mind of the Time Bomb. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "geneva" , "verdana";">The match is just what I expected. Fast paced vicious action all the way through. Dragon Lee is a huge star. The crowd was screaming for him. He made me a fan. Lee and Takahashi traded a suspenseful exchange of German Suplexes. Great stuff. They really put it all out on the canvas. They even had another great mask spot like the one during their match at The New Beginning In Osaka 2017 back in February. The end got a bit sloppy in a few spots. But it wasn't enough to knock it. This is a Barn Burner. These guys have got something with this feud. Fantastic. </span></div>

But they had just about thrown everything at the guy. Now he was getting ready to take on Giant Gonzalez but on television he was having these great matches with some big name mid-carders. It was awesome. Taker vs. Bigelow would have been amazing as a proper feud. But we had to go with Giant Gonzalez. Sigh. Gonzalez would interfere in the 1993 Royal Rumble and cost the Undertaker a win. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sean Waltman re-joined the WWF in 1997 after he was fired from WCW by Eric Bischoff via FedEx. He would start a campaign with D-Generation X to "free" his friends from the evil clutches of WCW. However, his friends never made the jump. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash both stayed with WCW until it's demise in 2001. It wasn't until 2002 that Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan would make their return to the World Wrestling Federation as the New World Order.</span></div>

It was the first time that the WWF roster would be split into two separate divisions, WWF Raw and WWF Smackdown. A lottery was held on RAW with General Manager Ric Flair choosing the entire New World Order as a single entry. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The night before the May 6th edition of Monday Night RAW, X-Pac, Scott Hall and various other WWE performers were involved in a drug-fueled nightmare flight dubbed the <i>Plane Ride from Hell</i>. Wrestlers were drunk or on DMT, Ric Flair had been flashing stewardesses, Curt Hennig and Brock Lesnar had a shoot fight and X-Pac cut off Michael Hayes' ponytail among other atrocities. However, the entire time Scott Hall was asleep and not participating in the antics. Regardless, both X-Pac and Hall would be gone from the WWE in a number of weeks. This event didn't help. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A new promotion was interested in bringing in the Kliq to draw a few views. That promotion is NWA/TNA. Scott Hall had already been competing in singles competition against the likes of Jeff Jarrett. However, in September of 2002 Sean Waltman made his way over as Syxx-Pac. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzkCca91ko">He and Scott Hall formed a Tag Team</a> and competed in the first Tag Team Gauntlet for the Gold Battle Royal. </span></div>

Kevin Nash would also join them creating a new stable called <i>The Band. </i>They wouldn't do much but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzzPXDAh1Xo">beat down various wrestlers</a> including their own. In March, Hall and Waltman would tag again this time against their brother Kevin Nash and Eric Young. </span></span></span><br />

Which is a shame. I was actually looking forward to watching this feud. Anyway, The Band would continue to haunt around TNA. But their tag team mostly consisted of the combination of Nash and Hall. Syxx-Pac was brought back into the fold for a match with Team 3D. This storyline also involved Bubba the Love Sponge. Yay. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Scott Hall and Sean Waltman have one of the best relationships in professional wrestling. I had asked a few wrestlers on Twitter what their impressions were on working with those two specifically. The consensus is good. Konnan said that working with Hall and Waltman during their WCW days was "Great!" I suggest you all listen to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gtx__W0Ai4">Konnan's podcast about the nWo</a>. I really enjoyed it. I hope that we hear more from these guys in the future. I would love to add a fourth part to this series. </span></span><br />

TNA came along picking up the pieces that had fallen by the wayside when the WWF purchased WCW in 2001. Unfortunately some really good talent either didn't want to make the jump to Vince McMahon's playground or simply wasn't hired. AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn, Low-Ki and Psicosis are all highly skilled high-fliers and innovative competitors that rose from the ashes of a fallen company and began anew with the Total Non-Stop Action X Division.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Total Non-Stop Action X-Division Title was meant to bring a sense of extreme to the pro-wrestling scene. A Double-Elimination Four Corners match might sound like too much. But in reality it is a beautiful thing that I wish was used more often. We are able to watch all sorts of action. This match brings everything from high-flying luchador type moves to technical clinics. Whatever style the competitor needs in able to avoid being pinned twice. Then you add in a stipulation that says that when it comes down to the final two competitors Ricky Steamboat will officiate. Does it sound crazy? I hope so. This is one of the best matches of all time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This match starts off really hot with Styles and Psicosis starting things off. They showcase their quickness and put on a good show. Psicosis puts in some really good offence and delivers an amazing Guillotine Leg Drop but he cannot secure a pin. However, after a Styles Clash, AJ Styles picks up the first pinfall. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Low-Ki and Styles go at it furiously. These two immediately have amazing chemistry in the ring. Ki hits a bunch of really stiff shots and kicks. But Styles is not to be outdone. He actually manages to hit a really impressive Hurricanrana from a laying down position! It's really neat. These two have awesome energy. This is the hardest hitting portion of the match. Ki locks in a vicious submission hold that looks to be a primitive version of the Bank's Statement but Styles gets the ropes. These guys are setting another level for the bar in the X Division. A Rolling German Suplex into a Facebuster gives AJ Styles the three. Then just when you think that it can't possibly get even crazier. Jerry Lynn jumps into the ring next and immediately hits a Cradle Piledriver for the three on Styles. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had to pause the match here just to catch my breath. I was gassed just watching these guys putting so much into it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Psicosis starts his second entry out with a Dropkick from the top rope to Jerry Lynn. They go at it in the ring with some really nice intense high-flying moves. The action is pretty even. Psicosis knocks Jerry Lynn out of the ring and then hits him with a big Somersault Plancha. The two are performing moves you never see anymore! Psicosis connects with a Spinning Flying Leg Lariat from the top. Then Lynn drops Psicosis with a Reverse DDT but can only secure a two. Psicosis goes for another big move but itās blocked as Jerry Lynn hits a Dropkick and then the Cradle Piledriver and gets the three count, eliminating Psicosis from the match. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Low-Ki jumps back into the ring and goes right after Jerry Lynn. Just like with Styles, Ki really takes it to Lynn with some stiff and brutal shots. He hits a devastating Elbow Drop and more kicks but cannot get the pin. Ki gets frustrated but keeps fighting. The frustration makes Low-Ki fight harder and Jerry Lynn has a tough time keeping up. But Lynn comes back. We get a good series of finisher reversals before Jerry Lynn plants Ki with a really impressive Powerbomb. Low-Ki is bleeds from the mouth. The crowd is on their feet. More reversals from both competitors before Lynn hits the Cradle Piledriver on Low-Ki followed by the pin. Low-Ki is eliminated from competition. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AJ Styles is ready and goes furiously at Lynn to start off his entry. These two really go at it. AJ starts things off with a Lariat and immediately goes for the pin. No dice. He goes for a powerbomb but Lynn reverses it into a Hurricanrana. A Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker into a pin only gets Lynn a two-count. Lynn hits a Sunset Flip on AJ Styles but cannot get him over, Styles stomps his head and then goes outside to deliver a Springboard Twisting Splash but still cannot get that win. They continue assaulting each other getting nearfalls. AJ hits a Hangmanās Noose Neckbreaker on Lynn. That was really cool. For this match already going this long, these guys are really not letting up on the energy. Styles hits the Styles Clash on to secure his second pinfall. Both men are now 1 - 1. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This brings out professional wrestling legend Ricky Steamboat as the featured referee. The match also goes into Sudden Death mode. This final pinfall will determine the first NWA/TNA X Division Champion. They start things off quickly with a series of roll-ups and nearfalls. Itās pretty exciting. They are both gassed but determined. AJ Styles is the young up-and-comer. While Jerry Lynn is the high-flying veteran. They both have something to prove. These guys take it everywhere and hit just about everything on eachother. Outside of the ring they deliver some solid action. Lynn hits a vicious Irish Whip on Styles, sending him headfirst into the guardrail. AJ goes for a Springboard Moonsault but he is caught by Lynn, so Styles just goes for a Reverse DDT. Back into the ring and Styles cannot get the pin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jerry Lynn starts dominating in the ring. He delivers some nice and innovative reversals to whatever AJ Styles dishes out. Like AJ Styles goes for a Hurricanrana but it's reversed into a Flipping Facebuster by Jerry Lynn, unfortunately he doesnāt get the three-count. AJ takes the reigns and mounts a comeback but it's short lived. Both guys are just trying to survive now. Jerry Lynn delivers an insane Top Rope Superplex to Styles but still cannot get the win! The crowd is really into it. AJ gets the advantage and levels Lynn, then goes to the Top Rope and hits the Spiral Tap for the victory. AJ Styles is the first ever NWA/TNA X Division Champion. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This match was not only fantastic and unique but extreme. It is definitely something that lives up to it's titles moniker. This match proved that the X-Division was another level in professional wrestling. Light-Heavyweight and Cruiserweight divisions had existed before. However in the X Division it didn't matter if you were 145 pounds or 445 pounds. It was about the work that you put in. About the determination that each competitor has. Determination that takes that performer to an extreme level. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each wrestler in this match was amazing in their own right. This match had showcased them to the NWA/TNA world. After this matchup, Jerry Lynn had started to cap off an amazing career and his work in the X Division is great. Psicosis had bounced to the WWE and then back to Mexico before getting in trouble. Low-Ki would be featured in the X-Division for a long while and AJ Styles would catapult into stardom. Both were major players in TNA for years. </div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Deadman has been carving a path in the WWF for over thirty years. He has had an undefeated streak at Wrestlemania that might stand as the greatest of all time. He has been through a number of re-imaginations and retools. However, The Undertaker has always been the fiercest competitor the WWF had created. Our Superstar Spotlight today features Part 1 of our look at all the Undertaker's matches.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mark Calloway wouldn't start his run as the Undertaker right away.

He would spend this period of his career as an uncanny force on Wrestling Challenge. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Undertaker was a force that no one had seen in professional wrestling. He appeared to actually be dead and the WWF kept that story line going. The debut of the Undertaker character had actually propelled the WWF for a few years. I remember kids on the playground talking about The Undertaker and how unstoppable he was. Everyone couldn't wait to see if this monster could stop Hulk Hogan. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Undertaker had officially arrived. He wouldn't be chasing the gold yet. But he would at least be able to take on bigger name faces. His very first ābig nameā performer would be Jimmy āSuperFlyā Snuka.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Undertakers first <i>Road to Wrestlemania </i>in '91 had been paved with the bodies of a lot of enhancement talent. But also it would also give The Undertaker his first mini feuds. One feud is with Tugboat. He and 'Taker have a few matches. The same with Jimmy Snuka. His mini feud with Snuka would culminate at The Undertaker's first Wrestlemania.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Undertaker was sure turning heads. He appeared to be literally snapping necks and cashing checks. He would viciously spike his opponents heads into the ground with his ridiculously dangerous looking first version of the Tombstone Piledriver. He couldn't just be left to do this to these poor competitors right? Someone had to stop him. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWYBFtb2E0k">Why not Warrior</a>? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The 1991 King of the Ring is something that I am praying to find some good footage of. I am really praying that the WWE will be putting online. I bet it had some great match ups. The match between Taker and Sid must have been intense. Such a big guy in Sid Justice meeting up with The Undertaker would be insane. Good thing we got to see it a few weeks later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Battle at the Royal Albert Hall was an example of a really interesting card that just seemed to pop up out of nowhere. It gave fans in the UK a good look at some WWF Superstars that they wouldn't necessarily get to see. So it's a good idea to showcase as many as you can in a Battle Royal. Also, Taker got his hands on āHacksawā Jim Duggan in a singles match. </span><br />

So, in a really quick time after the Survivor Series, the WWF tried out a new format Pay-Per-View called Tuesday in Texas. It was pretty much a vehicle to get the strap back on the Hulkster dude. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Both competitors had an amazing few years in the eighties that really drew. However, they would both go off and establish themselves individually during the rest of that era. It wasn't until nostalgia started calling in 1990. USWA was interested in reigniting that old rivalry. Funk was still the scrappy lunatic we all fell in love with. Lawler was the face with an eclectic array of leotards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The two would squabble for months. They would have outrageous promos and deliver intense matches. Their chemistry was palpable. However, Terry Funk would move on to work for WCW with "The King" going on to join the WWF and Vince McMahon. They would meet up periodically in one off Battle Royals in the USWA and WWF but it would still be a bit until they met one on one in the squared circle again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In 1998, Funk and Lawler would stand on opposite sides of the ring in WWF on an episode of Shotgun Saturday Night. It would be during a six man tag match with Jerry Lawler tagging with his son's team Too Much taking on Terry Funk, Dustin Runnels and Bradshaw. Such a weird place to have this matchup. Funk and Lawler hadn't faced each other in over five years. I am looking for this match and it will hopefully be released whenever the WWE Network decides to upload Shotgun Saturday Night. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This intense hatred and these hardcore matches would all lead up to The Final Stand. A final match between two WWE Hall of Famers. A final match that pits The King against the Hardcore Legend to finally see who is tougher. To see who is more extreme. To draw that defining line that would end it all. It would also be hyped up to be another of Funk's retirement matches. It's not pretty and it's not one of their best. But The Final Stand is definitely an important match. Even with a screwy ending. But that can only mean that we might see one more bout. Maybe it's fate that these two actually will fight forever. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sean Waltman and Scott Hall were at it again in WCW. Their antics in the early days of the New World Order is pretty legendary. Although, Syxx wouldn't be a key figure to the group he would still serve loyally along side his friend and partner Scott Hall. At least for a year or so. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However, during that time the two would go on to hold gold both individually but not together. Syxx would hold the WCW Cruiserweight TItle and Hall would capture the WCW United States Title. Both would team together sporadically throughout the year trying to capture Tag Team gold. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Syxx and Hall would continue to be impressive. Syxx would fill in when Kevin Nash just wasn't available or was out with a quad injury. Their comfort in the ring always showed through. I prefer The Outsiders, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall over the combination of Hall and Syxx but it's a really close second. Syxx is one hell of a Tag Team wrestler. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This feud was pretty insane. Jerry "The King" Lawler, the golden boy of Memphis, Tennessee had met the crazy Texan Terry Funk before. They had a long and bloody feud. There is footage of them <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0qzMr8kk-Q">from the seventies</a>. But their main feud took place during the eighties. No matter when they meet Funk and Lawler </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">literally set the town on fire. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These two</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> both cut a great promo in their own fashion. Lawler was much more calm and collected. Funk was a mad man. He appeared drunk or at least concussed. Perhaps he was a bit of both.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In 1981 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BNhrRQYxHE">Terry Funk called out Jerry "The King" Lawler.</a> He answered a bounty that was put up by Lawler's old manager, Jimmy Hart. Funk claimed that he was the toughest wrestler around and he wanted Lawler's blood. Lawler scoffed it off first but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA_BhhZ7Rrs">eventually accepted the match</a>. This match would end up being a pretty bloody No Disqualification match. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Funny to think that this whole feud just kicked off as a big pissing contest. </span><br />

He felt that he could still beat Lawler and he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSRyY4IM8y4">wasn't soft about it</a>. Lawler was always <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHpBJIHTO74">cool about it</a>. They continued to meet. They had a tag team Texas Death Match between The Funk Brothers against Jerry Lawler and Plowboy Frazier. They had a Cage Match and they even had a Barbed Wire Ropes match. Both are really hard to find. This part of their feud would eventually end in February of '82 with the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=13&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiGxq7Qo7zSAhVrx1QKHXQlBCc4ChC3AggiMAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKwfoxfNG3Qs&usg=AFQjCNFLlFsOchxRXJJwuwt9tCrww-XQ3Q&sig2=Bl6dpnschPfsLfttlaFlYA&bvm=bv.148747831,d.cGw">CWF in Florida</a>.</span></div>

The character of The King in contrast to Funk's lunacy was great. It made for some really entertaining moments and matches. I wish more of this feud was available. It's hard to find the Cage Match and Barbed Wire Match, those both sound incredibly brutal and fun. What we did get was magical. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The followup to this article will start the rekindling of their feud from the nineties. So get your flanel ready. It's going to be radical. </span></div>

Both members of the <u>Kliq</u>, Hall and Waltman are good friends outside of the ring. In fact, Sean Waltman, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash all make appearances together today as the Kliq. This connection outside of the ring definitely added to their work inside the ring.</span></div>

By the time that Waltman had broken into the career, Hall was already a steady performer in the NWA. However, it wasn't until Scott Hall's first WCW run as the Diamond Studd that we would see the beginnings of his true character, <i>The Bad Guy</i>, Razor Ramon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Both competitors had signed with the World Wrestling Federation in 1992 and showed a lot of promise. Scott Hall, now the sleazy Razor Ramon, shot up the ranks really quickly. Unfortunately, Waltman floundered. He was brought in as a tag team wrestler that found a place with the fans. This led to him going through some name changes The Kamikaze Kid, The Lightning Kid, The Cannonball Kid and just The Kid. He wound up jobbing out quite often even though the crowd loved him. It appeared that this would be his limit. Then the Kid met Razor Ramon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This match felt different. Almost like a tipping point for the Kid's career. Was he just going to be enhancement talent forever? Was Razor going to destroy him? By the time of this match <i>The Bad Guy </i>has victories over Tito Santana, Bob Backlund and Typhoon. Not to mention the list of jobbers he had already beaten. He even took Bret Hart to the limit at the <i>Royal Rumble</i> that year. </span><br />

The Kid would adopt the Lightning Kid moniker again and compete for New Japan Pro Wrestling during their </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Top Of The Super Junior IV tour.

In June of 1993, after a second loss to Bret Hart at <i>King of the Ring</i>, Razor Ramon brings seventy-five thousand dollars to the ring and offers it up to the 1-2-3 Kid. He wants his win. However, <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nstp_1-2-3-kid-promo-razor-ramon-vs-tony-roy_sport">the Kid rejects the offer</a>. Then Razor ups it to $10,000 and Waltman ends up accepting on the phone. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These two would put on another good match that unfortunately ended in a schmohz.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Razor and Kid were both gaining popularity quickly. Too quickly to keep them feuding with each other. It only made sense to pair these two together signaling the first face turn for Razor. Sean Waltman was over with the World Wrestling Federation crowd and he had his new friend Scott Hall to thank for that. These were the beginnings of the Kliq. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Team IRS consisted of Irwin R. Schyster, Rick Martel, Diesel and Adam Bomb. This would be another milestone for the Kliq as Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid were all featured prominently.

WWF Action Zone, Superstars and Wrestling Challenge all have a huge nostalgia factor and they feature smaller feuds like these. Come on WWE Network! Anyway. Again, Razor and The 1-2-3 Kid would team up for the Survivor Series. The Bad Guys (Razor Ramon, 1-2-3 Kid, The British Bulldog, Fatu & Sione) squared off against The Teamsters (</span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart and Jeff Jarrett). A team of sleazy badasses facing a team of blue collar workers? Things were kind of going off the rails during this period of the WWF. But good matches were still happening surrounded by all of this bizarreness. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When the WWF Tag Team Titles were on the line in a tournament. The 1-2-3 Kid tagged with fellow Million Dollar Corporation member, Tatanka. They ended up in a match against Savio Vega and Razor Ramon on Monday Night RAW.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The 1-2-3 Kid was a shell of who he was when he came in. His work with the Kliq was undeniably his best during this first WWF run. But it was also that same group that strangled the business at the time. Waltman's drug use didn't help. <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xewgfk_savio-vega-vs-1-2-3-kid-stone-cold_sport">His final match for the WWF in 1996, would be against Savio Vega</a>. A match that is again closely affiliated with Razor Ramon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Kliq would take part in the famous "curtain call" breaking kayfabe and "exposing the business", just before Scott Hall and Kevin Nash (Diesel) would leave for the rival company, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Waltman wasn't part of that jump because he was in drug rehab during the time. However, he too would leave the WWF for WCW. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid left the WWF in 1996 for more money in WCW. Razor adopted his name Scott Hall while Kid adopted a new name, Syxx. Syxx joined the nWo with Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Ted DiBiase, Vincent and Hulk Hogan. Being light-weight, he was their entry into the Cruiserweight division. He feuded with Chris Jericho and even competed in the World War III match with friend Scott Hall. </span></div>

He would be a WCW Tag Team Champion with Kevin Nash as The Outsiders. One of the greatest tag teams of all time. They are definitely worthy of an article on their own. Syxx would be sharpening his skills against the cruiserweights like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio Jr, </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Juventud Guerrera and Jericho.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bret Hart is synonymous with quality in professional wrestling. He is a highly decorated competitor that has a truly great body of work. We are more than happy to showcase Bret's amazing work. However, it isn't just the Hitman that we are focusing on. We are also going to be taking a look at the Rogues Gallery that he had faced over the years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A lot of us are well aware of the real life animosity that The Honky Tonk Man. Wayne Ferris has for Bret Hart. He can bee seen in a recent shoot video mocking the Hitman and even poking fun of him being a stroke victim. Ferris is notorious for burning bridges. However, even though he is a world-class jerk. Honky Tonk is a vivacious and extremely talented performer. So maybe it comes easy. But man, that guy can play a heel. He would submit the audience to his one man concerts weather they wanted to hear it or not. As someone on Reddit put it, Honky is someone that you would pay to watch get his ass kicked. He played the bad guy and he played it well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bret Hart and The Honky Tonk Man have met over a hundred times in the 1980's. They had originally teamed together a few times early in Stampede, a former promotion out of Canada. But when Honky was a villain, Bret played the perfect person to pit him against. When the Intercontinental Belt was in play, that just added to the amazingness that much more!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bret Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart had teamed as the legendary Hart Foundation during the eighties in the WWF. They were initially heels in a stable of sorts that was managed by the Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart. The Honky Tonk Man was also a member of this group. They had actually fought in some big six-man tag matches leading into Honky's feud with the "Macho Man" Randy Savage. You can watch the group's match-up against Omar Atlas, Jerry Allen, & Lanny Poffo on Dailymotion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">During a match between The Honky Tonk Man and Randy "Macho Man" Savage, The Hart Foundation began interfering and helping Honky out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It eventually led to a steel cage six man tag team match at Boston Gardens. This was between Honky Tonk Man & The Hart Foundation vs. Macho Man Randy Savage & Strike Force. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After the loss to Strike Force & The Macho Man, Honky and Bret had turned into rivals. They started facing off in tag team matches. The Hart Foundation would take on Rhythm & Blues, Honky Tonk Man and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. Rhythm & Blues wasn't very popular, but the WWF would push them really hard in the late 80's and early 90's. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Eventually, things boiled over from tag matches to singles competition. They would battle on the house show circuit and put on some really good matches. Here we have a classic match-up between Hart and Honky from Madison Square Garden. This one isn't for the belt, but it is a quality match all the way. One of our favorites! </span></div>

That rat, "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, had double-crossed the Hart Foundation siding with Rhythm and Blues at the end of '88. The Hart Foundation couldn't let this go and would challenge Rhythm And Blues for a match at Wrestlemania V. You can see that match on Dailymotion or on the WWE Network. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The WWF would really step up their Tag Team division in late '89 and into the early '90's. The Hart Foundation would move on from their feud with Rhythm and Blues and into various little feuds with The Brain Busters, The Rockers, The Bolsheviks and Demolition. Plus many more. Some amazing matchups ensured that Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart would hold WWF Tag Team Gold It wouldn't be long until The Hart Foundation would cross paths with Honky and his crew. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This match would serve as the lead into their feud that would bubble over at the 1990 Survivor Series. The Million Dollar Team (Greg Valentine, Ted DiBiase, The Honky Tonk Man & The Undertaker) (w/Brother Love, Jimmy Hart & Virgil) would take on The Dream Team (Bret Hart, Dusty Rhodes, Jim Neidhart & Koko B. Ware). This match is famous for being the debut of the Undertaker. However, Rhythm And Blues have a blow off with The Hart Foundation too. You can watch that on Dailymotion or the WWE Network. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Apparently, in the end, Bret Hart didn't like working with Wayne Ferris. According to the same shoot video where Ferris mocks Hart, Ferris claims that Bret had made comments about Honky being too soft in the ring. Weather or not that is true, these two could put on some really great matches. Honky may be a huge ass outside of the ring, but for fifteen minuets in the ring, he is a natural. These two make for some great competition and we will focus on that when talking about this rivalry. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some wrestlers just never made it into the limelight. Battle Kat is one of those performers. The high-flying Brady Boone had been jobbing in the WWF for the better part of the late-eighties. But, in 1990 Brady was given a push after he put on a mask. A cat mask. At a house show on September 19th 1990, Boone made his debut as Battle Kat. He defeated The Brooklyn Brawler. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; text-align: left;"> </span></div>

He faced some good opponents considering the time he did have. He had continued the gimmick outside of the WWF as well. Here he is in UWF as Fire Kat taking on the Blackhearts. </span></div>

I am fully aware of The Bulldogs and Dean Malenko. However, I hadn't ever seen Joe wrestle before. This was quite the treat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As part of AJPW's New Years Giant events, this match came on the final night of the 1990 series. It was a classic. There are a lot of holds. If you are not a fan of the slower and more methodical pace, this might not be for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dean Malenko is perfection. He is the best ring strategist. It's always good to see him. Dynamite is on point here. His vicious snap suplex right out of the gate shows his fight and fury. He really resembles Benoit in this match. I kept seeing the Rabid Wolverine flashing in and out here and there. Bulldog appeared to be in his early prime. He showcased his brute strength in numerous spots. Great work. I have no complaints about Joe Malenko, he was a main part of this match. Really athletic and agile. His submission work is really on par with his brothers. Just look at <a href="https://youtu.be/s9DD79V1A-c?t=18m6s">Joe working over The British Bulldog's leg</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I can't get over how good Dynamite is here. And just when I think that it can't get any better, look at <a href="https://youtu.be/s9DD79V1A-c?t=15m45s">this sequence</a> between Dean and Davey Boy Smith! Just perfection. Even this <a href="https://youtu.be/s9DD79V1A-c?t=23m47s">tumble-to-the-outside</a> spot is great considering how dangerously small the ringside area is. I am a sucker for those really risky spots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then the crescendo as the match builds to the ending. Some fantastic suplex spots and reversals. Joe Malenko and Dynamite Kid duking it out. Dynamite bleeding from the nose. The intensity and fury. There's that word again. The emotion. This was at a time that The Dynamite Kid would have to get himself into a really bad place to even make it to the ring. It was a shame. He was such a talent. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>One, Two, Three</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This match went about 24 minutes and was full of action from the get. It had a slower pace but it kept the action solid. Both teams showed their best. Even with Dynamite on his way out, The Bulldogs shined and showed why they were in the upper echelon of Tag Teams. This was a phenomenal showing of how a formulaic Tag match should play out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
