These would be the Carny matches and their sources that are also worth watching: 03/19/94 Korakuen Hall, Tokyo (03/20/94 NTV) League: Misawa vs Akiyama (13:57) 03/24/94 Hiratsuke (03/27/94 NTV) League: Hansen vs Kawada (19:38) 04/01/94 Okayama (Carnival Commercial) League: Kawada vs Akiyama (11:25) 04/10/94 Sendai (Carnival Commercial) League: Williams vs Akiyama (12:26) Especially the Kawada-Akiyama and Williams-Akiyama as a contrast to the Kobashi-Akiyama that's on the set. I think these two are quite a bit more compelling and tighter all around matches for Jun than the Kobashi, but it's worth others seeing them. I feel a bit for Do…

I honestly think from a wrestling standpoint that this has been the best yearbook so far. Do those who have watched others agree? Oddly enough, I was looking forward to it the least because I was sick of this time period. Also, I have to say how very cool it is to see so many people posting in each of these threads.

Honorable Mentions: 101. Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama vs. Akira Taue & Tamon Honda (AJ 6/3/94) 102. Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (RAW 8/1/94) 103. Fit Finlay vs. Doink (Germany 12/17/94) 104. Steven Regal vs. Larry Zbyszko (Clash 6/23/94) 105. Genichiro Tenryu vs. Tatsumi Kitahara (WAR 11/29/94) ***3/4 100. Vader vs. Kiyoshi Tamura (UWFI 6/10/94) Short match really maximized by story told by Tamura and Vader. Made Vader look like a monster going into the big showdown with Takada but also made Tamura look strong as he threw everything he had to Vader and had him reeling due to his aggressiveness at the beginning of the match. Match is also helped by card pl…
