Kenta Kobashi vs Akira Taue (AJPW Championship Carnival 3/27/94) Great match. At this point it’s a match like this that impresses me more about 90s AJPW than the most highly regarded matches. No one pimps Taue vs Kobashi matches and even if somehow somebody is, its not this match. But this match is awesome. Slow paced built mostly around Taue going after Kobashi’s neck. Even in a promotion known for great near falls, there are some truly outstanding nearfalls in this match. Great crowd yada yada. Watch this match folks.

Bumping this becuase I rewatched it and its a fucking awesome match. Slower paced and less over the top than your usual 30min 90s AJPW match but better for it. Some amazing nearfalls off stuff like a Taue snake eyes or a Kobashi school boy. I was thinking about where I'd rank this compared to other matches between the pillars and I think I'd have it 3rd behind the 95 Carnival Final between Misawa & Taue and the Misawa vs Kobashi 1/20/97 match.
