Jushin Liger & Wataru Inoue vs Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Yoshinobu Kanemaru (NOAH - 2/17/2002)
I wanted to nominate this because of Misawa/Akiyama vs Hashimoto/Nagata getting nominated. This is another amazing Japan Interpromotional Tag Match from the early 2000s. I know there are other Liger vs Kikuchi tags that people like more than this and I welcome those nominations. For some reason this was always the one that stood out the most for me, perhaps because it was the first in the series and it was also right around the time I was getting sick of modern Japanese wrestling. This stood out as something different. It was basically Liger playing heel in a southern tag brawl with nuclear heat and Kikuchi, everyone's old favorite punching bag, excelling in an opportunity to play the grumpy old fuck destroying dudes and defending his turf. Awesome match.
