All Japan Pro Wrestling 3-1-86 #1 Tiger Jeet Singh vs Jumbo Tsuruta Quick review eight minutes of utter mayhem! A huge crazy brawl(that is every Jeet Singh match ever!)  I always found it somewhat confounding and interesting that in Japan they love hard strong style. Yet they have as much respect for crazy Memphis brawls! This match a prime example of the latter! Their are no moves to call. No Ring Psychology to get into! Very simple easy to grasp story, Jeet Singh was nuts and Jumbo fought hard not to get run threw with a sword! At one point they were fighting on the floor and Jumbo managed to get ole Tiger's lance(or whatever the hell you call it) beat him with it and get into the ring holding it aloft! That was a cool visual. Jeet Singh got the DQ when his manager held Tsuruta arms from outside the ring while Tiger pummeled him! Not that it matters nobody ever said after a Jeet Singh match "Hey who won"? you said Sweet God in Heaven that was nuts!"
     Match #2 Tenryu vs Terry Gordy Gordy was accompanied to ringside by a mysterious ninja. This match was hot before the bell as Gordy took the ceremonial flowers presented to him and hurled them at Tenryu. Who threw them right back at Gordy's head. Match began with a stalemate for several minutes with Gordy "Wolfing/barking at Tenryu on breaks. Tenryu worked a side-headlock early holding it for some time. Gordy hit a lariat to gain the upperhand. Then put on a somewhat sloppy figurefour twice during the time when he had control. Both times Tenryu countered by unhooking Gordy's top leg from his! On the second attempt Gordy had to fight his way out of a Tenryu leglock counter with stiff punches. Gordy went to the top and hit a flying crossbody, Tenryu rolled thru(not the smoothest counter I ever saw by a long shot!) and got a two count! Tenryu hit his signature headkick. Went to the upstairs and hit a flying "Lou Thez" press. This time it was Terry's turn to do a sloppy roll thru and get a near fall. Doing this the rolled into and got tangled in the bottom rope. The referee separated them and Gordy hit a lariat that knocked Tenryu halfway thru the bottom rope and himself over the top rope! Tenryu falls outside as well and puts Gordy in a headlock who counters by delivering a backsuplex over the guard rail and dumping Tenryu on a table outside the barricade. This frustrates me like crazy but this tough bout ends in a groan inducing double countout! I understand why this was the finish from a logical "Nobody needs to look bad" standpoint but I don't have to like it!
