In response to joeg's match here is my review.

 

http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/41172-kenta-kobashi-vs-johnny-ace-6395-ajpw/

 

I liked it a lot and the layout was really strong. Played to both guys strengths. I remember Ace being on fire in 97 and wonder if these two didn't have a upper tier AJPW match in them given the right circumstances that year.

 

 

 

Hey, PR isn't for everyone. :) I'm glad you liked some of it anyway.

Headcheese, I have little idea of what you are into outside of what was on the moty thread. I am giving you Steve Williams Vs keiji mutoh for the triple crown from 2001, a match I was reminded of earlier today by bierschwale. Maybe Steve Williams last great match.

For SPS, things are getting odd.

 

The Space Bugs vs. Sea Amigos, Kaiju Big Battel (date unknown, some time in 2011)

Wow this was something, I don't even know if I'd consider this wrestling as it was more larping to me than a wrestling match.

 

I do enjoy the little bit silly characters of Hamada's old Universal Lucha Libre and Chikara etc. but once the bell rang it was still pro wrestling with some shenanigans thrown in. This video was pretty much all schtick and shenanigans so it's like claiming an ice cream sundae without ice cream and all toppings is still a sundae.

 

The crowd was hot at least so that made it watchable but other than that just due to the costumes they couldn't do much of anything aside from smash the "buildings" and flail at each other like a youtube video with silly monster fights in public places.

 

I didn't bother with making a post in the match review archive for this one due to my earlier point of it not really being a wrestling match to me but it was a fun watch in a this is just absurd and strange kind of way. I cannot rate whatever this is but thanks to Laz for the share and although it wasn't for me it's always a good thing to watch things outside your tastes to reaffirm why it is you prefer what you prefer.

shodate, I'm pretty much limited to youtube and what can be found relatively easily. I'm assuming you're going to give me some obscure shootstyle match I've never seen before (and I haven't seen much there), but I'll take whatever you have for me.
I'm sending you far afield. You listed Norman Smiley in your top 100, almost certainly due to his UWFi work, I'm sure. Here's him in Mexico vs La Fiera:

Kallisto vs Alberto Del Rio (14/01/2016 WWE Smackdown)

Sorry for being so late. Here is my thoughts on the match.

That Eden Stiles person looks kind of familiar. Jerry Lawler was really ramming that he thought Kalisto was a shrimp. I was really surprised by the pacing of this. It was wrestled faster than I thought. The arm stuff was good. A lot of good sequencing in this. A creative finish. The top rope Rana (or Frankensteiner, do not punch me Scott Steiner) out of the corner was very good. Probably one of the best matches of Alberto Del Rio's second run.

Really good match.

For Nintendo logic I have an interesting one off appearance of fujiwara in ajpw from 1997 teaming with kikuchi to face off against fuchi and Kawada. This is his first ever appearance for Baba and will not appear for ajpw again until after the noah split.

My review of Tanaka/Murahama that SPS gave me last week...

http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/25785-minoru-tanaka-vs-takehiro-murahama-njpw-strong-energy-042001/?p=5833894&do=findComment&comment=5833894

Great match. Reminded me of early ROH in the best of ways.

 

For this week, sir, I'll give you an actual match, and one that happens to be a bit of a personal favorite.

Shingo Takagi vs. YAMATO, Dragon Gate Kobe World Festival, 7/24/16

Great sounds cool since I watched a fair bit of Toryumon but next to no Dragon Gate except for their ROH and other North American appearances for the most part.

For Laz I'll give you 2 Cold Scorpio vs Sexton Hardcastle from PCW 05/16/1998, a fun match from right before Edge went to WWF and Scorpio is as good as ever.

He actually worked 2 tags for Baba in 1996 the year before this,
