Damn, you did Oz Academy. I respect that a hell of a lot.

I really enjoyed it. A few off matches, but nothing not watchable.

I really enjoyed it. A few off matches, but nothing not watchable.

Glad to hear that, and yeah that is pretty much Oz. Some matches hit and some miss, but there is always something good to watch there.

FMW-E-Burn Out 2021.08.15

73. Tag Team Match Tomohiko Hashimoto & Maku Donaruto defeated Raito Shimizu & Naoshi Sano.

Thoughts: This was a comedy match and had some pretty hilarious spots in it. Maku Donaruto dresses up as a Ronald McDonald type clown, and in this match he ended up stripping into a Borat slingshot g-string type deal. He ends up doing spots where he's kissing everyone, humping them etc. Pretty damn funny.
Rating: 3

74. Tag Team Match Momoka Hanazono & Kyuseisyu Ninja Ranmaru defeated Drake Morimatsu & Sae.

Thoughts: So you had one team who was a comedy act and one team who were hardcore and brutal. There was one spot in this match where Ranmaru freezes her opponents kicks the ref in the nuts then points the appointments facing each other, and some how one beats the other up. This match had some fun spots in it, and they were very creative. This certainly would be criticized by some, but I really enjoyed it.
Rating: 3.5

75. Tag Team Match Daisuke Masaoka & Kamui defeated The Brahman Brothers (Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei).

Thoughts: Really fun match. This was a comedy match, but had some great wrestling, and hilarious spots sprinkled in through out. The Boxing glove spot was fucking great. The ending was pretty great, too.
Rating: 3.5

76. Tag Team Match Andy Wu & Kuuga defeated Magnitude Kishiwada & Yoshihiro Horaguchi.

Thoughts: This match was wild from the get go, it was all over the place. When got to the outside all hell broke lose, and there a few crazy spots. Overall a very enjoyable match even if it was a bit chaotic.
Rating: 3

77. Barbed Wire Current Blast, Current Blast Bat, Current Blast Tables & Barricade Mat Mine Blast Board Gunpowder Deathmatch Mr. Pogo, Masashi Aoyagi & Isami Kodaka defeated Atsushi Onita, Takeshi Okada & HASEGAWA.

Thoughts: Very cool match, and some great explosions. Some parts were tough to see because of the darkness, but honestly it made the explosions much better to see when they happened. The exploited table was awesome, the landmine board was equally cool. The exploding bat was something I haven't seen before so that was a pleasure to watch. Overall, it was complete chaos, and I was loving it
Rating: 4

Overall Show: This show was a good mix of action, There was comedy, and some great wrestling. Watching the matches leading up to the final match was exciting, because everyone that passed you know got you closer to the main event. Very fun show!

Ratings: 3

79. Joe Gacy Defeats Josh Briggs

Thoughts:It is hilarious when they try to explain the 205 live name still when these two huge guys are competing lmao. These guys are developing some great chemistry, this was a hard hitting match. Not pretty, but really fun. Briggs is huge, and can do a lot of cool things for his size. I like Joe Gacy's look more, but both have a interesting look. The finish was pretty damn sweet.
Rating: 3.5

80. Xyon Quinn Defeats Andre Chase

Thoughts: Xyon looks badass, and being a former rugby player you know he take some punishment. This was a pretty good match, Andre Chase is an underrated talent. I always enjoy his matches.

Rating: 3.5

83. Provisional KOPW 2021 No-DQ I Quit match: Toru Yano defeated Chase Owens to win the title (28:03)

Thoughts: Man this match was too long for me, it was very slow, and seemed to just keep going and going and going. There was some okay stuff in it, and if it was cut down, and by ten or so minutes maybe it would have come off better. The I quit stip though basically forces you to have a decent length match.
Rating: 2.5

84. Jeff Cobb defeated Kazuchika Okada (27:41)

Thoughts: What a match, Jeff Cobb is in my top 5 right now, guys a total beast. Okada still can go, this match was great, and really had some awesome sequences. Going from that below average match to this one really made you enjoy it even more.
Rating: 4.5

85. IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship match: Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated Kota Ibushi to retain the title (17:47)

Thoughts: Really Great match. Not a classic with the limited time, but still really great stuff. The last two matches really have some of the best talent in the world.
Rating: 4

Overall Show was really good minus that one match.

Bit of a fun fact and no means to derail this thread, but Tiger Mask is on the few "wrestlers" with the highest winning percentages and the lost losing percentages due to the value of the Tiger Mask brand.

Rating: 3
