This marked the end of Condry and Eaton's only NWA World Tag Title reign and the last time they'd hold gold together for nearly two decades, losing in what was their 18th (!!!) 2-out-of-3 falls encounter against Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton in under 200 days.

It's one thing to hear about matches with crazy reputations that go in either direction; it's another to see them for yourselves. That perfectly describes the only ever encounter between Andre the Giant and the infamous Akira Maeda, one of the godfathers of Japanese shootfighting and a man who...well...to put this bluntly, has a reputation for himself in the wrestling realm.

Over the weekend, New Japan Pro Wrestling ran one of their two shows in the United States this year, The New Beginning USA, in Trenton, New Jersey's Cure Center; headlined by IWGP Heavweight and Global Champion Yota Tsuji defending the latter title against AEW's Andrade El Idolo, but there were a couple of other matches on this card that piqued my interest.

Hard to talk about Pro Wrestling's arc since the turn of the millennium without mentioning Pro Wrestling NOAH.
