That UWFi match is interesting. How many times did New Japan guys show up in the revitalized UWF? Baby Nagata here looks like he'd fit right in with the federation, Kakihara is fast as hell, and even the hometown fans boo Anjoh out of the building. What a creep. 

Backlund in BattlARTS is so fucking weird.

This is pretty good. It's the end of the tag tournament and both teams hate each other's guts. None of the four guys does or has to do a lot, just be charismatic and beat on each other, though Tenryu and Kosh do some nifty double-teams down the road. Crowd is super hot and there are a couple really nasty powerbombs. Chono also falls directly on his ass over the top... ouch.

EDIT: Hey also, who is the really tall guy in NWO Japan? I know it's Michael Wallstreet with the mustache, but the other Caucasian.

Two things to love about that one 

1. The ref standing there staring at Ray strangling Eddie with a cable saying nothing like he's got him in a side headlock instead

2. Bruiser Bedlam (I think?) doing a Flair Flop onto the basketball court

EDIT: Okay looking back at it it looks like he's asking Ray politely to stop, or if Eddie wants to submit haha
