First round of the FPWA - Crockett singles tourney to decide the Heavyweight Champ.
Sting defeated Mr. Wrestling II at 32:57 with a right hook. Sting had II in the Scorpion Death Lock 4 different times, but II would not submit. Match received a 99% rating.
Wahoo McDaniel beat Barry Windham with a splash after a series of brutal chops at 15:43. The matched got a 83% rating.

Jack Brisco beat 'The Enforcer' Arn Anderson at 18:40 with a reverse tombstone. I thought AA had Brisco, but he couldn't put him away. The match received a 99% rating.
Jay Youngblood defeated 'Ravishing' Rick Rude at 21:36 with an Leg-Stomp Arm Hold. Youngblood worked the arm early in the match and Rude made a great comeback, but the previous work on the arm was too much. The match received a 96% rating.
'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair defeated Jerry Brisco at 22:04 with a small package. The match received a 94% rating and I really thought Brisco was going to win this one.

In an AWESOME match, Magnum TA beat Jay Youngblood at 16:51 with a sleeper hold. The match got a 97% rating, but deserved 100%. Magnum hit Youngblood with 4 different belly-to-belly suplexes that were in excellent position. Hit him with a back suplex bridge in *perfect* position and could only somehow manage a 2.9 count. Great, great match.
'The Total Package' Lex Luger beats 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair at 12:36 with the Torture Rack. Luger looks strong and dominated Flair. Match got a 75% rating.
Sting defeated Jack Brisco with a Scorpion Deathlock at 16:01. Brisco bled buckets. Match got a 87% rating.
'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes ran thru Wahoo McDaniel at 9:27 after the Bionic Elbow. Match got a 78% rating.

Magnum TA vs. 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes

5. Bruiser Brody defeated Jumbo Tsuruta in a 100% match after the King Kong Knee Drop at 32:22. This was an incredible match. Even more amazing was Tsuruta juiced in the first 3 minutes. Tsuruta got a bunch of 2.9 counts, but couldn't put Brody away. Wild match.

In the first round of the Tag Team tourney for FPWA - Nippon at the Osaka Dome.
The Funks defeated the Young Bucks at 23:28 when Dory Funk, Jr. CRITICAL'd Nick Jackson with a spinning toe hold. The match received a 98% rating but this was a beautiful clash of styles with the old school Funks that were more selective in their touchwork versus the Young Bucks who used all of the moves and have 100% touchwork. Dory looked dominant here and got the Funks the victory.
Misawa/Kobashi defeated Kawada/Taue when Kobashi hit Taue with the Orange Crush at 29:00. Kawada tried to break up the pin but was met by a Misawa Emerald Erosion. Great match that received a 100% rating.
Bigelow/Vader defeated Mutoh/Hase when Bigelow CRITICAL'd Motoh with the Greetings from Asbury Park at 19:05. The match received a 75% rating.
Brody/Hansen defeated Liger/Sasuke in a BS finish. Hansen was being counted out of the ring and finally got into the ring at 18 seconds. As that happened, Brody threw Sasuke out of the ring and proceeded to count out Sasuke even though he only was out of the ring for 2 seconds. This will lead up to Liger/Sasuke getting a title shot against the winner due to the bogus finsih. The match went 14:34 and received a 68% rating.
That leaves us to the second round with:
The Funks vs. Misawa/Kobashi
Bigelow/Vader vs. Brody/Hansen

In the semis...
Misawa/Kobashi defeated the Funks when Misawa got a small package on Dory Funk, Jr. at 12:09. The match received a 79% rating.
Brody/Hansen defeated Bigelow/Vader when Brody pinned Vader with the Avalanche Slam hold at 15:14. Much better match than the rating (73%) indicated. Lots of action and I thought Vader had Brody pinned a few times, but Hansen broke it up.
FINALS
Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi defeated Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody at 63:47 by a countout. Hansen was counted out and Kobashi was counted in. At about the 30 minute mark it came down to Kobashi vs. Hansen, neither could pin the other as Misawa and Brody were breaking it up. Hansen and Brody had the advantage for the first 25 minutes of the match, but Misawa & Kobashi rallied with a series of attacks outside the ring. The match received a 99% rating. Dave Meltzer gives this a million billion stars. So far, looking like the 2 best tag teams in the entire Fire Pro Wrestling Alliance.
