Folks have said his 10/04 GHC Match with Kobashi was good, but I haven't seen it. - w/ Akiyama vs. Morshima/Rikio 9/23/02 (GHC Tag Titles) - w/ Akiyama vs. Kobashi/Shiga 10/9/02 (GHC Tag Titles) - w/ Akiyama vs. Honda/Sugiura 3/1/03 - w/ Akiyama/Izumida vs. Morishima/Rikio/Ikeda 3/16/03 - w/ Akiyama vs. Kobashi/Honda 6/6/03 (GHC Tag Titles) - w/ Inoue vs. Misawa/Ogawa 9/10/04 (GHC Tag Titles)

Chief amongst their ranks were Wild II and the Akiyama/Saito team. Aside from the matches Mike already mentioned, there was also a defense against Rikio & Marufuji that I remember being pretty boss. In general, Akitoshi Saito is a stocky dude with awesome hair who isn't afraid to beat the fuck out of you, and that's really all I ask for from my pro wrestlers.
