The perfect 10-minute US tag. And my favourite US tag to boot.

Tamura coming back to do the fake fighting after a few years away doing the real fighting and basically being the best in the world like he'd never been away is...pretty fitting for that guy, really.

My highest ranked joshi tag of the 90s. Well it's my highest ranked joshi tag from any decade, but I guess there might be something from the 80s that tops it. Maybe. I've watched the majority of the acclaimed 90s tags over the last three years though, and none of them landed like this one did. The peak of Kandori v Hotta.

377-T. Tatsumi Fujinami, Nobuhiko Takada, Riki Choshu, Akira Maeda & Super Strong Machine vs Antonio Inoki, Dick Murdoch, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Masa Saito & Seiji Sakaguchi (Elimination Match - NJPW - 9/17/1987)

A scorcher from 1987 Fujiwara, although he certainly wasn't the only one who killed it on the night. My favourite 80s New Japan multi-man.

Another scorcher from 1987 Fujiwara. His performance in this is one of the best I've ever seen and I pretty much thought this was a masterpiece.

The high point of WAR v New Japan. This sort of interpromotional gang war is probably my favourite match type and this is the GOAT of the genre.

High Vote: KB8 - 33

I'm glad to see NL giving this a vote again. One of the main reasons I love the WAR/NJ feud so much, and I guess interpromotional wrestling in Japan in a broader sense, is that they blend so much of what's good about Japanese wrestling with one of my favourite aspects of American wrestling - the extended HEAT segment in a tag match. The beating Ohara takes in this is the sort of thing you could see on a peak Mid-South or Crockett card, leading to a hot tag that blows the roof off. Except rather than hair-pulling and distraction spots these guys use full force kicks to the eye, chops to the throat and roundhouse kicks to the neck. There's the violence and the hatred that makes a heat segment look like an actual mauling. And nobody hands out a mauling like Tenryu and nobody comes in off the hot tag to dish receipts like Hashimoto.

My favourite Japanese juniors match of the decade. Everything great about WAR v New Japan only with one guy doing a fucking backflip off the top rope and landing on both feet on the floor without his knees exploding. Some of the meanest piledrivers you've ever seen.

Oh you should definitely do it. If you just watch the NJPW matches it's just a few matches & they're all short. I think the longest is like 15min. If you watch their stuff together in Zero-1 obviously there's more. But the main NJPW feud is like under 60min total bell to bell

The only way I'd watch this is like a clockwork orange type situation. But I think I could force my eyelids to overpower the contraption through sheer adrenaline. Like when a mother sees her kid trapped under a car.

So ignoring he was a crack addict & useless sack of shit during this specific match (great Bret performance) I gotta say Davey Boy was just a bad wrestler. None of it holds up after Young David. Say what you will about Dynamite Kid in the British Bulldogs he's still clearly better than Davey. And none of his 90s work impresses me. I've watched weirdly a decent amount of his 90s work & every time I come away thinking he's this empty void of a wrestler who does his signature spots but can't do anything else. Like he's worse than Kevin Nash. Bret Hart was a miracle worker.

High Vote: CFOS - 1
2021 Finish: 24 (+3)

#1 vote is awesome & well deserved. I think this is the best shoot style match & one of the most incredible matches ever. As far as "displays of athleticism" go this smokes everything and it's mostly spent on the ground. Amazing achievement. Tamura is a fucking freak & Kohsaka rules too.

I actually watched all of the singles matches these two had together recently. Some are awesome, some are great some are really good. This is none of those things. NOAH era Misawa & Kobashi have always made me sad because of how broken down their bodies are.

Sad to see this finish out of the top 10, he said having not voted for it lolololol

Great match it's Jumbo vs Tenryu of course it belongs.

Outside of the top 10 is tremendous. Good work everyone. If you can sit through that first 17minutes without getting bored you're more patient than me.

Fantastic! And also i'm like 5% bummed it finished at 11th instead of 10th. So close! Terrific match.
