Match Thoughts: I think we missed a fair bit of the match because Muta's face paint was already peeling, or he wrestled another match at the taping and didn't re-apply the paint. Anyway, nothing shown was offensive, and again I liked Muta winning the match with a different move instead of always relying on the moonsault for less important matches. And it was a very nice German suplex, which was a move you also didn't see a whole lot in American wrestling back in 1989. Score: N/A
