The build and story were also great. The problems were the lack of psychology or selling! Usually when you do this type of match stuff like that seems to go out the window! Even with those flaws this match was awesome anyway. ****1/2

*Interview with Aja & Kyoko is shown! The commentators talk a bit and highlights are shown from the show.

Recommendation: GET THIS TAPE! AJW! It is what wrestling is all about. You honestly can't go wrong buying this tape. Every match in here is somewhat good. The last two are just awesome. Like I have said before: if you like wrestling for wrestling get this tape if not just don't bother. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
