Match Review: WWF/SWS Wrestlefest 1991: Road Warriors vs. Genichiro Tenryu and Hulk Hogan

Road Warriors vs. Hogan/Tenryu

A few points:

- Holy shit Hogan is an ass here!  First, he knocks over a camera man as he's walking down the aisle.  Then, he knocks a ringboy off the apron.  A ringboy whose great offense was OPENING THE ROPES FOR HIM!  Then, ON TOP OF ALL THAT, he BOOTS the ringside camera right on the lense! What are you doing this for?  At the very least, that last point gave us an impressive visual.

Oh, yeah. He also casually tosses his belt (THAT'S WHAT IT IS, WWE! NOT A TITLE! THE PHYSICAL OBJECT THAT REPRESENTS THE TITLE IS THE BELT!) to the ref Hebner like it was garbage. To anyone who complains about championships meaning nothing, there's a visual for you!


- Great power shown by the Road Warriors, as Hawk lifts Tenryu and Animal (after some struggling) lifts Hogan in a very impressive power display.

- Tenryu with stereo ENZUIGIRIS... that look like they lightly grazed their targets.

- Hogan going NUTS with chairs! Sure, this is 1991 and the headshots are protected, but still.

All in all, a fun and unusual match! It's like a bizzarre mismash... Tenryu doesn't have his usual thunderstorm entrance theme and the Road Warriors come out to their NWA/Japan Iron Man theme... but Hogan comes out to 'Real American.'

Oh yeah, and a fun pull apart at the end!
