Taue/Jumbo/Fuchi vs. Misawa/Kawada/Kikuchi (AJPW- 1/27/1991)

Most underrated 6-man of 90's AJPW. I prefer it to the more pimped 10/1990 6-man. It has many of the same positives between the frantic pace, clear roles, and a hot crowd. I feel this one has better flow to it, though, and everyone looks a little bit more comfortable as they have a few more months of experience working these matches. Having Kikuchi in there changes the dynamic a little, as he's clearly the weak link and his small size allows Team Jumbo to mercilessly ragdoll him. I can't help but cheer for him during all of his comebacks. The star of this one is definitely Kawada, who really takes it to Jumbo's side throughout. The match really gets going around halfway through, when Kawada nails Jumbo with a lariat to the back of the head, which takes him out for a bit. Cute seeing Kikuchi try his best Fuchi impersonation by trying to stretch Taue while Jumbo is out. Jumbo's comeback is excellent as he cleans house while still selling the after-effects of the lariat. Got goosebumps watching him wreck everyone. Great stretch run as well with Kawada eating the fall after Jumbo gets revenge with his own lariat to the back of the head.
