[Guest DragonflyKid]

-ALL JAPAN NEW YEAR'S GIANT SERIES '97

 

Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs Steve Williams & Gary Albright, 1/17/97 -It was good.

 

KENTA KOBASHI VS MITSUHARA MISAWA, 1/20/97 -A classic, maybe my favorite singles match ever.

 

-ALL JAPAN FAN APPRECIATION DAY 92 - 4/18/92

 

MITSUHARA MISAWA, TOSHIAKI KAWADA, KENTA KOBASHI, & TSUYOSHI KIKUCHI VS JUMBO TSURUTA, MASA FUCHI, RUSHER KIMURA, & YOSHINARI OGAWA (Elimination Tag) -Big disappointment, I bought it from Tabe as I usually agree with his opinions but this was far below ****3/4 IMO and definitely inferior to alot of the six-mans they were having.

 

- ALL JAPAN - 10/25/95

KENTA KOBASHI VS MITSUHARA MISAWA -I liked it although they have had many matches that were much better.

 

Toshiaki Kawada vs Gary Albright -Great match but it would help if you were familair with Albright although the crowd does help in that regard as their heat puts over the credibility of his Suplexes that one may not be aware of.

 

-ALL JAPAN SUPER POWER SERIES 98

 

KENTA KOBASHI VS TOSHIAKI KAWADA, 6/12/98 -Great match, the first AJPW match that made me take notice. Kawada was amazing here.

 

TOSHIAKI KAWADA & AKIRA TAUE VS KENTA KOBASHI & JOHNNY ACE, 6/5/98 -This was a very good/great match, lots of heat and near-falls.

 

-UWFI - 12/5/93

 

NOBUHIKO TAKADA VS VADER -The Vader match is the only one I've seen(Off a Vader in UWFI comp) and it was very good, their '94 match was great though.
