Brief thoughts on SPWF 6/14/1995

 
SPWF  6/24/1995

  1. Hiroshi Osumi (Shinjuku Shark) vs. Masahiko Kochi
  2. Exciting Yoshida vs. Phantom Funakoshi
  3. Toyonari Fujita vs. Dangerous Uchida
  4. Made in China & ??? vs. Mr. ??? & ??
  5. Ichiro Yaguchi & Isamu Teranishi vs. Kishin Kawabata & Hiroshi Hatanaka
  6. Kuniaki Kobayashi & Great Kabuki & Kengo Kimura vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu & Masa Saito & Riki Choshu
SPWF may be the least of the 90s mud show indies, but SPWF shows are always a nice novelty. I liked Yoshida/Funakoshi, Funakoshi was doing some kind of technical heel gimmick, his technical stuff looked good and I liked how he went to choke his opponent and then hit a knee drop to the throat. Yoshida was doing an Animal Hamaguchi tribute act and then he hit this really reckless tombstone piledriver. Main event was pretty much a greatest hits show that pleased the crowd, with the two novel additions to the usual Choshu tag formula, 1995 Yatsu and Masa Saito not doing anything special. Karate pants guys were more than solid, though. Nothing else stood out really but I prefer this kind of serious pro wrestling over todays joker indies.
