Michinoku Pro 'Luchamania' Review



Michinoku Pro 'Luchamania'
Time for some lucharesu, i have no idea what the card is so we'll just have to find out how good a show this is by watching it.

- Shiryu vs Monkey Magic
This could be interesting, This was an ok way to open the show..decent stuff Monkey was kind of a Spot Monkey (ba da bump)but either than that and the fact it was clipped to bits it was fine.

- Super Delfin (c) vs Sato (UWA Welterweight Title)
Sato is Dick Togo, this should be a good match, this was an alright match. The structure of it was kind of confusing but it had it good moments and it's boring moments, Togo working on Delfin's leg bringing some psychology to the match was pretty good but ignored eventually then the match just kind of dragged on and on with near falls until with the help from his buddies MEN's Teioh & Shiryu, Dick Togo got the win with a powerslam.
** 1/2

- Super Delfin & Gran Naniwa vs Hanzo Nakajima & Shiryu
This looks to be a good one, this looked fun but it was clipped to bits so no rating.

- Great Sasuke vs Some white guy
I don't know who the fuck the white guy is but he was pretty good, bringing in some psychology in the match working on Sasuke's arm, Sasuke just did his usual stuff and the match ended when Sasuke caught "White guy" with a flying cross body.
* 3/4

- Shiryu, Sato & Great Sasuke vs Gran Naniwa, Super Delfin & TAKA Michinoku
This should be a fucking kick ass match. This match was clipped to shreds so no rating but it looked like one hell of a match with lot's of crazy spots.

- MEN's Teioh & Shiryu vs ??? & Masato Yakushiji
I take back what i said, that isn't Naohiro Hoshikawa. This match was pretty boring, Kai En Tai just beat the shit out of the shooter guy until they finally finish him with a sleeper hold, not good.

- Great Sasuke & Naohiro Hoshikawa vs Gran Naniwa & TAKA Michinoku
Before the match starts Satoru Sayama presents Sasuke with some flowers, maybe looking for a date? With that crappy joke on hand this match looks like it could be pretty kick ass but we are clipped ten minutes into the match...damn it. This looked to be one hell of a match, it's such a shame this one was clipped, Team Naniwa & Michinoku dominated Hoshikawa until he made the hot tag then all hell broke loose and it became a heated back and forth tag team match with lots of near falls, great stuff.

- Super Delfin vs ??? (UWA Welterweight Title)
Man i'm getting pissed, this is the 3rd match where i have no idea who this guy is apparently he is from mexico and his name is something like perrito i can't really make it out. This match was boring, Frogboy (as i have so affectionately named him) just kicked the crap out of Delfin then Delfin made a small comeback and finally won with a German Suplex into a roll up for the win.
1/2*

- Hanzo Nakajima vs White guy w/ Mullet
Arghhh, i think this guy's name is Dr. Ian but that doesn't make any sense anyway he looks like a shrimpy version of Tatanka and apparently some old Winged Gold WWF World Heavyweight Title Replica is on the line. This match bored the crap out of me and it had the worst pinfall in history as the finish.
*

- Super Delfin (c) vs TAKA Michinoku (UWA Welterweight Title)
Now this should be tight, i'm not Delfin's biggest fan but TAKA is the shit so let's see how this one goes. This was a good match, they started out with some nice chain wrestling then TAKA dominated most of the match working on Delfin's arm while Delfin got in a couple of moves, eventually after TAKA hit Delfin with everything he got, Delfin makes a comeback with a Rana for the win, good but not a great match.
** 3/4

Overall this was an alright tape but no recommended as it's very rare and nothing here is worth getting out of your way to see it.
