Another one I thought was nominated.
I've always liked this one a lot, but I've watched it a couple of times now in the past few years & each time I've liked it more & more. I'm struggling to remember a 90s junior match with better more compelling mat work. I know that doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement because juniors mat work is famously boring as fuck so let's put it this way...if Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels worked this match move for move it would've immediately entered the WWE Canon as the greatest technical match of all time. It's not that but it's really really great. An especially great Teioh performance.
