Albright in UWFi

Recommended Posts

Guest Black Tiger

I was watching Albright vs Kawada after reading Chris Coey's review and although I wasn't impressed the first time I saw it, I was very much impressed on the second viewing. With the crowd reacting so strongly to a single suplex attempt, in a promotion where German, Tiger, Dragon, and other suplexes are used match in and match out. Kawada does an awesome sell job of Albright's German suplex too, rolling out to the floor to avoid the pin, even though he's taken the move from Misawa tons of times and kicked out no sweat.

 

My question though, is what kind of matches did Gary Albright have in UWFi? I've never seen any UWFi but just from this match I figure Albright must have been a big user of suplexes, and I read in Coey's review that he's got a win over Takada.

Yeh he knocked out Takada with a german suplex, but imo he was always overshadowed by Vader since he was another big gaijin using the monster shoot style but with less charisma and a beer guzzler look. Got to KO Anjoh as well upon his debut, guess after coming from Stampede that counted as quite a good start. They made him lose to Kakihara which was a bad move until he jumped to AJPW and made magic with Kawada.

 

He mostly used Belly to belly, full nelson and german suplexes. I loved it when he would german his opponent right from the mat while they were lying on their stomachs.
