bjpw has had a lot of deathmatches used only once
does anyone have pictures or reviews of these types of matches espescially
firestones
bug zapper
alien spaceboards (?)
exploding glass
thanx
ive seen the firestones death match, it was contested between Mitsuhiro Matsunaga and Seiji Yamakawa, the firestones are basicly electic heaters wrapped in barbed wire. its an ok match, theres a few good bumps, the ending is pretty savage tho, matsunaga botches a powerbomb and yamakawas head bounces dangerously off the side of the firestones box.
the bug zapper match was Mitsuhiro Matsunaga and Tarzan Goto vs. Shoji Nakamaki and Seiji Yamakawa, there were 4 boards in each corner wrapped heavily in barbed wire and on each one was those long blue zapper things u see in kitchens, i didnt really think much of this match, it was pretty boring, there was so much barbed wire on the boards i dont think they got zapped or burnt by them, well except for the last bit.
both these matches can be found on history of the big japan death matches volume 1.
Mitsuhiro Matsunaga Vs Kendo Nagasaki, Piranha Deathmatch - Matsunaga got a chunk bitten out of his abs and had to be stretchered out. Was never done again.
Poison Sawada Vs The Mummy, Poisonous Snake Deathmatch - Poison Sawada got bitten by the snake, freaked out and started raking barbwire over the wound and biting at it to squeeze out the poison. At the end of the match he collapsed and had to be carried off and taken to a hospital.
Mitsuhiro Matsunaga Vs Zandig, Exploding Glass Deathmatch - Wasn't as good an Explosion Deathmatch as people would have hoped. Basically they had sheets of glass lodged in corners which were wired to some fireworks at ringside that went off when the glass shattered.
