High end mediocrity? I'm not sure how to describe this. The best stuff has been robbed time and time again in other matches, even if this is a really good wrestling match. I'm trying to forget about what came after it and look at the match in context since that is the whole point of the yearbook. And it does look good, but Ultimo is a little clumsy at times, and doesn't quite feel like he's become Super Worker yet. For all the talk of Tiger Mask/Dynamite Kid being such an influential series, and I guess it was in some ways, this match really feels that even more so, because so many of these ideas have been borrowed in other matches. Liger gets the win after a top rope huracanrana.

I think this aged horribly, much worse than some other big-show juniors matches. Especially the NJ vs WAR junior tags from around this time; those hold up fine.

Ultimo slipping and botching really kills it, even audible laughing/groaning? from the crowd on the top rope slip. Liger does his best to save it, but like Ditch said I think it ages poorly.

The slipping just kills the bout. I bet Liger was one pissed off man in that locker room.

Wasn't a big fan of this. They did not appear to be on the same page throughout the match, and it just felt disjointed throughout. There are a few cool moments, like Liger's insane senton to the floor, but overall nothing I would go back to watch again. Their match in the 95 J-Cup is worlds better.
