These two after the Taue Triple Crown win in 96 had sort of a weird feud against each other. We get about 75% of this match and the best way I can describe it is it is worked like a Raw workrate match. The work is really good and logical between these two but there is certainly the indication of an extra gear that neither man is reaching into. Taue has some early success but gets greedy on the apron and that opens up Misawa for his big comeback. Misawa use of finishers is always smartly done as he goes with the Tiger Driver for the close nearfall and running forearm here to put away Taue. ***1/4 (6.3 )

Good sprint between these two that builds in a totally different from any of their other matches that I've seen. I keep expecting Taue to drop off, but I still like what I'm seeing. ***
