Eleventh and last comparison. New japan 4/19/84 vs 12/6/96 hda vs misawa akiyama. This is hard. I overrated the gautlent enthusically it wasnt perfect. The takada vs yatsu portion while had the junior vs heavy dynimc with a crowd begging for takada to win and great nearfalls had poor spotty incosistent selling by takada so while overall it was good it had faults . Kimura was good but not great. And the kimura vs yatsu portion while fine was forgattable. So it dropped down a few notaches for me overall 97 percent low end and top 30 contender. The ajpw tag had the akiyama vs kawada start setting the tone. The misawa exchanges with kawada and taue set the dynimac well early. Great strikes by kawada and misawas elbows were brutal etc. The only real faults of the match was a few strikes by jun and taue that were not good and a few basic slams that could have been better. The apron nodowa to the end was trscendent. Great trastions that played with narrative. Great character work by kawada and all and the kawada taue dynimc with kawadas character escalating through the match. From that point its non stop violence deadly headrops hot as hell heat. Epic face experssion by all but misawa specially. Misawas slow realization as well as taue cherring on kawada was terrific. Great selling by jun ex grbbing his heart at backdrop and the apron nodowa sell. Awesome selling by misawa of being stoic and a mountain to claim betaten and fucked up yet dangerous and vurnaable both long term and anyway great selling. The hda decimation at end was brutal and good. Great execution and realism of strikes . The deadly headrops brutality and kawadas jaw drop sell etc were compelling really. Overall top 30 contender i guess. Hard to say which match is better as i lean toward gautlent sometimes. I would say its a tie cause i cant chose but maybe its 12/6 on latest watch hard to say but yeah i say it for now may chose other different time but they are disimlar so its 12/6/96 for now. Even tho i used to think its gautlent and may lean toward it still i think its the ajpw tag on latest watch.
