Mitsuharu Misawa and Jun Akiyama vs. Akira Taue and Toshiaki Kawada (AJPW - 12/5/1997)
Not nearly as dramatic as their encounters in 1996, but this is still a fantastic tag match. Jun and Misawa gel very well together with each man taking turns being the face in peril and the hot tag. There also seemed to be more of a focus on Jun being right at home competing with the other pillars whereas the prior year he was still proving himself. The more competitive and sporting nature of this match doesn't make it quite as memorable as the classics, but still an excellent and occasionally violent display of AJPW tag team wrestling.
