Great, heated trios full of unpredictable bumps and quite hate filled brawling. Very smart layout with the rudos starting strong only to get cleared out by a series of Santo topes. The finish to the second fall that saw a guy get taken down and jumped 3 on 1 was fantastic and added to the unpredictability. 3Rd fall breaking out into another brawl was great, too. The Guerreros were on fire that night. I especially liked Rey Bucaneros unexpected bump over the top rope. Shocker looked spry trying to boot peoples heads off and he had fun chemistry with Tarzan Boy. The Santo/Magica double tope was insane. Top stuff, maybe the best trios of the year.
24. Yoshiko Tamura vs Tanny Mouse (NEO 08/17/02)
Tanny Mouse carries Tamura to her best match of the year. No, I’m not kidding. Tanny was great here as she avoided Tamuras usual bullshit and actually got something interesting out of her. Her offense was also pretty great and varied. It kind of exposed how dull and repetitive Tamura is in comparison. Tanny mostly kept this on the mat, forcing Tamura to actually grapple a bit for a change, and during the standing sections she was mixing in awesome strikes and suplexes. There were also some amazing, perfectly timed cradles. So, Tanny was working this as a grappler with a hard head relying on cradles… was she high on Tamon Honda tapes that year? The nearfall section was slightly into overkill, but Tanny never was able to hit her finish and Tamura actually got to look badass for a change as she hit the worlds nastiest senton and later scored a great KO victory.
