Talk about it here.

I already watched all of the joshi matches nominated for this project and while I remember not liking this match I can't remember why. I'll assume it has something to do with there being too many wrestlers I hate in this match (Nakanishi, Takahashi, Toyota).

This was easily the best thing AJW had done since the cage match. Toyota had turned heel a few days prior at a Korakuen show, which was a questionable booking decision but it led to more Toyota vs. Ito, which is one of my favorite match-ups from this era. Great action here with a minimal amount of bullshit. Strong commitment to the gimmick and everyone played their role well. I didn't love the outside interference down the stretch but it didn't ruin anything. Loved the current ace getting the win over the former ace. Definitely one of the better matches from the AJW renaissance.
