September 21, 201312 yr Author comment_5563998 Fine match, but no heat and nothing really special about this. It was given time and I was hoping for a hidden gem in the feud. The moments where Liger shows his wonderful sarcasm are always great, but there isn't a whole lot to this other than that.
September 21, 201312 yr Author comment_5564068 You were the one who said in the 1997 Recommendations thread that we should ignore AJ gems and focus on matches from this feud that haven't been talked up!
September 21, 201312 yr Author comment_5564069 Post: I think the '97 yearbook would be better served by paying attention to the Liger & Co vs Ohtani & Co feud, as opposed to sifting through AJ Samurai eps for three star matches.
September 21, 201312 yr Author comment_5564095 Yes, and we included those, but you also suggested including others that may not have been talked up as much. At least that was my understanding.
September 21, 201312 yr Author comment_5564104 No need to apologize, but just to confirm for 1998 and 1999, should we keep our eyes open for hidden gem Liger tags?
September 21, 201312 yr comment_5564170 I haven't gone as in-depth on those years. Still have a ton of '98-'99 DVDs to watch.
October 4, 201311 yr comment_5565992 This was just average. I do like Liger’s flexing taunt. Crowd loves Takaiwa’s multiple powerbombs combo. I worry what to expect from the major Japan feds on later yearbooks.
July 6, 201411 yr comment_5611268 I am probably the high vote on this as I enjoyed it a good deal for the 13 minutes it lasted. Liger especially seemed in a more goofy but dickish move thrusting and flicking over Taikawa on the apron. Samurai predictably takes a beating from mainly Kanemoto and they are able to put him away with a moonsault.
March 23, 20169 yr comment_5735017 I enjoyed seeing both teams invent new ways to put opponents in holds so their partner could level them with dropkicks, and Liger's general dickishness. After Takaiwa & Kanemoto get absolutely brutalized for 10 minutes in near-squash fashion I thought their comeback and victory came a little too easily, though on the other hand it's hard to argue with Samurai not being able to continue after taking three power bombs and a moonsault. Enjoyable but ultimately inconsequential.
February 19, 20178 yr comment_5788928 A poor match. There were a few occasions when the move damage levels and selling were way off base. Some incorrect move selections as well. From a general perspective there were a couple of trends in the Junior division from this time period I'm not a fan of. Firstly the increased strike orientation made the style less aesthetically pleasing. Secondly the niggley rivalry psychology was being overdone. It made the Juniors less fun.
