Newbie (1/14)

  1. I've been re-watching a lot of the holy grail classics lately. This one, more than any of the others, felt like the GOAT when it was over. Fukuzawa's voice was just about gone by the end and with good reason - the near falls were the most thrilling I have seen in my life. If it's not the GOAT, it is so damn close. The only other matches in the same conversation for me are 12/6/96 and Hokuto-Kandori.
  2. Hart/Austin still my pick after 20 years. It's just so violent, heated, & intense with a beautifully executed story. Michaels/Undertaker WM 25 is an epic and a clear #2 for me. Those two stand out more than any others as the best WWE matches I've seen.
  3. The yearbook threads are always a blast. Can't wait for '98! Thanks for the amazing work, Loss!
  4. Definitely should keep the 12/18/98 Yoshida/Okutsu. It's the fledgling company's first big title match with a neat blend of highspots and shooty matwork. Fun ***+ affair that's worth seeing.
  5. 2/94 Hashimoto/Tenryu jumps to mind right away. Maybe the most brutal liver kick ever delivered.
  6. Oh, okay; you're probably thinking of their revered June 1994 Triple Crown match. That's a 35 minute epic masterpiece. This July '95 match is outstanding in its own right but more of a sprint. It's well liked but not in the "all-time favorite" conversation.
  7. Michaels/Razor at Summerslam 95 is far and away the best.
  8. My money is on Tamura/Kohsaka, but we shall see.
  9. 5/92 Kobashi/Kikuchi vs. Kroffat/Furnas The crowd obviously plays a big role, but the action is so freaking hot as well. Letter perfect in every way.
  10. Yep, it's even confirmed on Ditch's site as 11/27. Glad you liked the Misawa/Akiyama vs. Kawada/Taue match from the following day. It's the last classic AJPW 90s tag for me.
  11. '93 Hokuto and '99 Yoshida are still my favorites. They were just so reliable in terms of pulling good-great matches out of just about anyone. Best ever might be Jaguar, but I haven't seen nearly enough 80s Joshi to judge on that.
  12. This amazing clip was on the Champion Carnival 1996 commercial tape. One of the last holy grails for 90s AJPW...
  13. Meltzer actually gave this *****+ (yes, five stars plus). Dave being Dave. It wouldn't surprise me if the last true classic Misawa/Kawada match was their 1996 Carnival draw. Unbelievably it still hasn't hasn't shown up in full anywhere...
  14. Kawada's knife edge chops were always my favorite. Brutal. KENTA's kicks were fantastic last time I watched one of his matches.
