TAPE 1151 UWFI
"MOVING ON 3RD" - 7/3/91 (VG Q) 1HR 20MIN
(Not
as good as some of the other early UWFI shows, in part because the main event is
a weak matchup. Still, the
action
is pretty solid and this isn't a bad tape by any means.)
1.
Rules/Technique Demonstration
2.
Thomas Burton vs Yuko Miyato
3.
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Yoji Anjoh
4.
Kazuo Yamazaki vs ???
5.
Nobuhiko Takada vs Tatsuo Nakano
TAPE
1152 UWFI "MOVING ON 4TH" - 7/30/91 (VG Q)
1HR 30MIN
(Another
great tape from the early days of UWFI. In
fact, this is one of the better shoot-style tapes)
1.
Rules/Technique Demonstration
2.
John ??? vs Masato Ohya (?) (Kickboxing)
3.
Tetsuo Nakano vs Yuko
Miyato (I don't think I've ever seen him win a match, but man I enjoy
watching Nakano work. He always
brings alot of wild action to his matches!)
4.
KAZUO
YAMAZAKI VS BILLY SCOTT
5.
Nobuhiko Takada & Kiyoshi Tamura vs Yoji Anjoh & Jim Boss
(Terrific 31 minute tag match)
TAPE 1153 UWFI
"MOVING ON 5TH" - 8/24/91 (VG
Q) 1HR 40MIN
(Commercial
tape; Not quite as good as some of the other early UWFI tapes, but still an
excellent tape. The main event tag
match is a
keeper.)

TAPE
1154 UWFI "MOVING ON SAPPORO 6TH" - 9/26/91 (VG Q)
1HR 30MIN
(Another
good tape from the early days of UWFI, but the two big matches - the Albright
match and the main event - are disappointingly
short.
Still, a good tape)
1.
Makoto Oe vs ???
2.
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Tatsuo Nakano (Nakano gets to show a lot here and
nearly KO's Tamura legit with a knee early on.
The finish
comes way too fast, though.)
3.
Gary Albright vs Yuko Miyato (This is like an earlier version of the
Vader/Nakano squash from 5/6/93. Albright
pounds
Miyato.)
4.
Kazuo Yamazaki vs Yoji Anjoh (Really good match!)
5.
Nobuhiko Takada vs
Bob Backlund (Well, when you work shoot-style, sometimes accidents happen.
You get one in this
match as Takada KO's Backlund with a kick to the stomach that sees
Backlund drop like he's been shot. It's
obviously not
intentional as the kick occurs only 1:15 into the match.
The fans are pissed and have a mini-riot, throwing stuff at the ring
and trying to tear off the apron. Kazuo
Yamazaki has to come out and calm them down.
Wild!)
TAPE
1155 UWFI "Moving on" - 10/6/91 (VG Q) 1HR 25MIN
1.

early days of UWFI. Lots of
hard-hitting, stiff action with a hot crowd)

Tamura (***3/4)

31. Gary Albright v. Tamura (Any guesses as to who wins this one?)
32. Bob Backlund v. Yoji Anjo (Backlund puts Anjo away with the Crossface Chickenwing!)
33. Nakano v. ??
34. Billy Scott v. James Warring (A complete travesty of a match as the cowardly Warring exhibited absolutely NO
OFFENSE WHAT-SO-EVER. Every time that Scott attacked, Warring grabbed the ropes for the break.
Even the normally mild mannered Japanese audience was visibly frustrated at Warring's unwillingness to fight.)
35. Nobuhiko Takada v. Trevor Berbick (Berbick apparently didn't know that in the UWFI, you can hit or kick your
opponent anywhere, as he was quite surprised when Takada started raining some BRUTAL kicks on his legs.
Berbick took such a pounding, that he eventually jumped out of the ring and refused to get back in.
TAPE 1156 UWFI
- 11/7/91 (VG Q) 1HR 50MIN
(Commercial
tape; Yet another GREAT tape from the early days of UWFI.
Lots of terrific shoot-style action!)
1.
Terry Cummings vs Ohya Makoto (Kickboxing - unsure on those names)
2.
Yoji Anjoh & Jim Boss vs Yuko Miyato & Kiyoshi Tamura (***3/4)
3.
Tetsuo Nakano vs Gary Albright (RIP Gary)
4.
Kazuo Yamazaki vs Billy Scott
5.
Nobuhiko Takada vs Bob Backlund (Terrific match, but the ending comes
out of nowhere and is kind of disappointing. Still, ***1/2)
TAPE #352 UWFi 12/22/91 (VG Q) 3HRS 5MIN
1. ??? v. Kanehara
2. Kickboxing match between 2 guys that I don't recognize
3. Kakihara v. ???
4. Yuko Miyato v. Tom Burton
5. Tamura v. Gary Albright (Tamura never had a chance)
6. Yoji Anjo v. Bob Backlund (The former WWF champion puts Anjo away with the CROSS FACE CHICKENWING!)
7. Nakano v. Yamazaki
8. Billy Scott v. James Warring (Wrestler v. Boxer)
This match wound up going the time limit because the hopelessly outmatched boxer (Warring) wouldn't
engage Scott at all. When Scott went in for an offensive move, Warring grabbed the ropes for the break.
This happened during the ENTIRE FIGHT. Even the ordinarily well mannered Japanese fans were
booing less than half way through. On one such rope grabbing occasion, Scott got so frustrated, he
actually THREW WARRING OUT OVER THE TOP ROPE !
9. Nobuhiko Takada v. Trevor Berbick (Wrestler v. Boxer) HILARIOUS MATCH!
For some reason, Berbick was under the assumption that there would be no strikes below the belt as in boxing.
Well, Berbick found out what happens when we "ASS-U-ME". Takada kicked the hell out of Berbick's legs
Repeatedly. Berbick couldn't mount any kind of defense against it. He just kept complaining, and yelling
At the ref to make Takada stop. Berbick eventually high tailed it out of the ring to get counted out. Very funny
Match.
TAPE #353 UWFI 1/9/92 (VG Q) 1HR 35MIN
(Solid show from the early days of UWFI.)
1. Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Masakazu Maeda
2.
Masahito Kakihara vs Tom Burton
3.
Tatsuo Nakano vs JT Southern
4.
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Yuko Miyato (good match)
5.
Kazuo Yamazaki &
Yoji Anjoh vs Gary Albright & Steve Cox (Cox, on an innocent-looking
strike late in the match, legit
dislocate his shoulder, causing his arm to drop limp.
Albright finishes for their team and then they show Cox getting his
shoulder popped back in after the match.
OUCH!)
UWFI 3/17/92
"E=mc2" (VG Q) 2HRS 30MIN
Match listings by TABE
1. Masakazu Maeda vs Hiromitsu Kanehara (*** - terrific match)
2. MARK SILVER VS MASAHITO KAKIHARA (Excellent match that goes the full 30
minutes. At the end of the match, with the
time limit approaching, both guys open up and begin throwing
heavy strikes. Kakihara lands an uppercut that DRILLS Silver in
the nose, busting him open big-time. Ya know, I gotta think
that UWFI blew it by not pushing guys like Kakihara, Kanehara, and
Tamura up to the top of the card harder and better.)
3. Thomas Burton vs Tatsuo Nakano (The previous two matches both were in the
20-30 minute range, as is this one. However, and
I'm as big a Nakano mark as you'll ever find, I don't wanna
see these guys going 26+ minutes. No way.)
4. Yoji Anjoh & Mark ??? vs Kiyoshi Tamura & Yuko Miyato (Another excellent, long match! This one's ***1/2. Man, this show rocks!)
5. Nobuhiko Takada vs David Green (Who is David Green? Well, he's a Dan
Severn lookalike, minus all of Dan's incredible
charisma. OK, that's sarcasm, but you get the idea. Not bad,
Takada has nothing to work with here.)
6. Gary Albright vs Kazuo Yamazaki (Short but good match that sees Albright
get over as a killer threat to Takada by having him
destroy the #2 native, Yamazaki.)
TAPE 1157 UWFI
- 5/8/92 (VG Q) 3hrs
(Fantastic
show from UWFI. Lots of long,
excellent matches. If you're a UWFI fan, this show is a must-have.)
1.
Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Masakazu Maeda (Maybe the best opening bout ever
in UWFI. Two guys giving their all
to the point of
basically exhaustion.
Great stuff. ***1/2.)
2.
Mark Silver vs Masahito Kakihara (Another great match. Tons of action in a match that goes 30 minutes. ***)
3.
Tom Burton vs Tatsuo Nakano (Turns into a near-shoot when Burton
throws a wild forearm/punch that pisses Nakano off.
He then drills Burton with a couple of real nasty shots before finishing
Burton off.)
4.
Mark Fleming vs Yuko Miyato
5.
Steve Day vs Yoji Anjoh
6.
Nick Bockwinkel vs
Billy Robinson (Exhibition Match - which is worse: two guys that 60 years old
getting in ring or the
fact that they can out work 1/2 of WCW's 2001 roster?
Neat moment in the match when Bockwinkel hits Robinson with a
knee to the kidneys. Robinson
gets pissed off, to which Nick responds - "It's a knee, Robinson".
Robinson then shakes his
fist and says "I'll give you one of these in the fucking jaw"
and seems truly mad. This is
actually a pretty good match.)
7.
Koji Kitao vs Kazuo Yamazaki (Yamazaki does a great job of getting
Kitao over as a big threat to Takada and the crowd is super hot for this one.)
8.
Kiyoshi Tamura vs
Matthew Saad Muhammed (Wrestler vs Boxer - I hope this was a shoot, cuz if it
was a work, they sure misbooked this. Over
in like 40 seconds.)
9.
Nobuhiko Takada vs Gary Albright (Good match, but the finish comes a
little quick)
TAPE 1158 UWFI
- 2/15/92 (VG Q) 1HR 30MIN
(Solid
show from the semi-early days of UWFI, the highlight of this one - for me,
anyway - is the appearance by Pistol Pez!)
6.
Masakazu Maeda vs Hiromitsu Kanehara (Good match)
7.
JT Southern vs Masahito Kakihara
8.
Kiyoshi Tamura & Yuko Miyato vs Tatsuo Nakano & Mark Silver
9.
Pistol Pez Whatley vs
Yoji Anjoh (Pisol Pez! Pez looks
to be about 280 or 290 here, but can still move and actually looks
halfway decent here, he just doesn't know any submissions.
Oh well, it's fun for me - a guy who's first wrestling experiences
included Pistol Pez on WTBS - to see him again.)
10.
Nobuhiko Takada & Kazuo Yamazaki vs Gary Albright & Tom Burton
TAPE
1159 UWFI - 6/28/92 (VG Q) 1HR 30MIN

Nobuhiko Takada vs Bill (?) Cox
TAPE 1161 UWFI
- 8/14/92 (VG Q) 1HR 40MIN
(Another
solid show, this one features the debut in UWFI of Bad News Allen.)
1.
Yoshihiro Takayama vs
Hiromitsu Kanehara (I think these guys wrestled each other like 7000 times.
They're all good
matches, all very stiff, but geez...)
2.
Masahito Kakihara & Yuko Miyato vs Tatsuo Nakano & Tom Burton
3.
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Lenny Lydick (?)
4.
Nobuhiko Takada & Mark Fleming vs Kazuo Yamazaki & Mark Silver (Good
match!)
5.
Gary Albright vs Bad News Allen
TAPE 1162 UWFI
- 9/21/92 (VG Q) 2hrs 30min
(Really
good show! Worth getting for the
Kakihara match and the Albright/Takada match.
This show was also aired with English commentary on US PPV.
The
English version can be found directly below this one.)
1.Yoshihiro
Takayama vs Tom Burton
2.
Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Mark Silver
3.
Masahito Kakihara vs
Tatsuo Nakano (Kakihara busts Nakano's nose about 5 seconds into this one and
Nakano hits a
*GUSHER*. Blood is literally pouring out of his nose the entire rest of the match, leaving his face and
chest, and Kakihara's chest, back, and arms, COVERED in blood.
Incredible. By far the
biggest hardway juice job I've ever seen.
4.
Yuko Miyato vs Mark Fleming
5.
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Steve
Cox
6.
Kazuo Yamazaki vs Yoji
Anjoh
7.
Nobuhiko
Takada vs Gary Albright (***1/2 - very good match; Takada wins UWFI title)
TAPE
1163 UWFI - 10/23/92 (VG Q) 2hrs 30min
(Yet
another good tape from UWFI. The
main event must be seen for its heat and the Iron Sheik match must be seen, just
to
be seen.)
1.
Makoto Oe vs ??? (kickboxing)
2.
Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Tom Burton
3.
Yoshihiro Takayama vs Mark Silver
4.
Iron Sheik vs Yoji
Anjoh (Yeah, you read that right - the Iron Sheik wrestled in UWFI.
Unlike Bob Backlund, though, Sheik
is completely clueless in a UWFI ring.
He's blown up to over 300lbs and has no clue what to.
He stalls for several minutes
before quickly submitting. Ugh!)
5.
Masahito Kakihara
& Yuko Miyato vs Gary Albright & Mark Fleming (this looks like an
accidental KO as the match ends
quickly, with Albright never getting into the
match)
6.
KIYOSHI
TAMURA VS KAZUO YAMAZAKI (Man, did UWFI miss these guys when they left in 1995 -
great match!)
7.
Nobuhiko Takada vs
Koji Kitao (The fans start at a fever pitch for this match and never come
down. Unbelievable heat and
the crowd goes nuts when Takada DRILLS Kitao with a kick, KO'ing him.)
TAPE 1164 UWFI
"ROOT OF WRESTLING" - 11/25/92 (VG Q) 1hr 20min
(Good
show, plenty of good action to be found here.
My only knock is that I wish it were longer.)
1.
Makoto Ohe vs ??? (kickboxing)
2.
Gene Lydick & Mark Silver vs Yoshihiro Takayama & Hiromitsu
Kanehara (good match)
3.
Dan Severn vs Yuko Miyato
4.

5.
Nobuhiko Takada & Kazuo Yamazaki vs Gary Albright & Mark Fleming
TAPE 1149 UWFI
"DOUBLE TAKADA" - 12/20/92 (VG Q) 2hrs
Great
tape! You get the '92 Jr League
Finals, plus several other good or great matches.
Definitely a good UWFI tape to have.
And,
oh
yeah, you get two Takada matches, which is a nice little bonus.)
1.
Makoto Ohe & ???
Ohe vs ??? & ??? (Kickboxing - Yes, a tag-team kickboxing match.
They run a points system and guys
lose points for tagging out. One
of the guys whose name I don't know is a total goofball, acting all weird in the
ring, showboating, etc. Some legit
hatred comes about when Ohe (not Makoto) knocks out the goofball after the ref
starts to step in because the goof is on the ropes.The KO is allowed anyway, Ohe
gets SPIT on after the match and then he and his partner make a big show of
shaking only Makoto Ohe's hand afterward.)
2.
Tom Burton vs Mark Silver
(Not much of a match, as Silver appears to blow out his knee and legit can't
continue.)
3.
YOSHIHIRO
TAKAYAMA VS HIROMITSU KANEHARA
('92 Jr League Final - VICIOUS match! Takayama hits
Kanehara in the jaw early in the match and the
fight is on! Several vicious knees
and kicks to the face and head throughout
this match, plus some accidental elbows and everything else.
Great match!)
4.
Yuko Miyato vs Bad News Allen
5.
Dan Severn vs Yoji Anjoh (When he's in with somebody that can carry
him, like Anjoh, Dan Severn looks like a killer.
Great stuff.)
6.
Presentation of the Jr League Cup
7.
Gary Albright vs Masahito Kakihara (Let's just say that Kakihara gets
killed...)
8.
Nobuhiko Takada vs Dennis Koslowski
9.

Of all the fighters to wrestle in the Union of Wrestling Force International, Nobuhiko Takada was
