Zero One Fighting Athlete Est. 2001

Zero One HUSTLE-3 PPV May 8th 2004 £7 vhs / £8 dvd
Who said variety entertainment is dead? This has something for everyone, from Mick Foley's first Japanese match in seven years, to Giant Silva coming out of a garbage can (admittedly, it would've helped if someone had stuffed him back in). Plus: a Hall & Nash reunion, Steve Corino and Dusty Rhodes squirting blood at each other, great junior action, a AAA interlude, violence, stupidity (plenty of stupidity) - a weird and, occasionally, wonderful show. Kaz Hayashi & Spanky vs Low Ki & Taka Michinoku… Oscar Sevilla, Pimpinela Escarlata, Cynthia Moreno & Mascarita Sagrada vs Gran Apache, Polvo de Estrellas, Fabi Apache & Mini Abismo Negro… Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino… Tiger Jeet Singh vs Zebraman… Riki Choshu vs Adamo Monster… Mark Coleman & Dan Bobish (replacing Giant Silva) vs Wataru Sakata & Shinjiro Ohtani… Sabu, Kintaro Kanemura & The Gladiator (Mike Awesome) vs Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Tomoaki Honma (six-man hardcore match)… Toshiaki Kawada vs Cactus Jack (Triple Crown Title Match)… Shinya Hashimoto & Naoya Ogawa vs Kevin Nash & Scott Hall

Zero One HUSTLE-1 PPV January 4th 2004 £7 vhs / £8 dvd
This was the first card ever to run against that towering institution of puroresu, NJPW's Wrestling World. Any big name who wasn't at one show was at the other, with HUSTLE-1 boasting a line-up of Goldberg, Vader, Kawada, Kojima, Low Ki, luchadores and more. As well as some great matches, there are surreal moments - including Bill Goldberg yelling 'I eat chicken!', Nobuhiko Takada advising us to 'do the hustle!', and Shinya Hashimoto doing pelvic thrusts. Not your typical Japanese wrestling show, then. Low Ki vs King Adamo vs Kyohei Mikami vs Jun Kasai (four corners match)… Zebraman vs Ikuto Hidaka… Satoshi Kojima & Kaz Hayashi vs El Solar & Dos Caras Jr… The Predator & Kevin Randleman vs Masato Tanaka & Shinjiro Ohtani… Giant Silva vs Kohei Sato & Katsuhisa Fujii (handicap match)… Shinya Hashimoto vs Vader… Mil Mascaras, Dos Caras & Sicodelico Jr. vs Dusty Rhodes, Tom Howard & Steve Corino… Toshiaki Kawada vs Mark Coleman… Bill Goldberg vs Naoya Ogawa
