All right, next up, Singh's match was X against Yuya Uemura.
Steven ConwayHOST
This turned out to be Taka Michinoku.
Steven ConwayHOST
Okay.
Steven ConwayHOST
So, yes, that was good news because Taka can still work, and he and Uemura had a pretty decent match right there.
FretzHOST
Shotgun Saturday Night, October 10th.
FretzHOST
Takamichi Noku defeats Chu Funaki to retain the light heavyweight title.
FretzHOST
So either Kai and Tai have already imploded, or this is just a respect match.

LukeHOST
And this was just fucking fun.
LukeHOST
I reckon, like, who doesn't want to wrestle Taka? Doesn't matter what your weight class is.
LukeHOST
Like, he's a legend, right? And I don't know.
LukeHOST
Yuya? I know there's, like, this size difference and stuff like that.
LukeHOST
Like, it was great fun.
LukeHOST
I had a really good time with this, of course.
LukeHOST
And, of course, Yuya wins with a wrist lock, but we get all the Taka stuff.
LukeHOST
He doesn't do as much of the cheaty stuff as he might normal because, like, hey, Yuya's his guy, but we get the boot, you know, we get the kind of roll-ups and stuff that he does, you know, all the great Taka spots.
Kelsey SilvaHOST

Xavier CruzHOST

Big Show, Kai En Tai, and the Blue Meanie.
Steve FallHOST
Now, let's be fair to Taka Michinoku.

Taka was an outstanding wrestler, a former WWF Light Heavyweight Champion with tremendous athletic ability.

Funaki was also a talented performer who would go on to have a lengthy career in the WWE.
Steve FallHOST
The Big Show decided he didn't want their help.

Josh CraneGUEST
Yeah, he's gonna have to answer..." I was...
