Posted October 18, 200816 yr comment_5435272 Hiro Hase vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi (12/27/87) One of the things that is going to be toughest about the selection process, is going to be picking what juniors matches stay and which go, it isn’t a style I particularly care for, and it is going to be hard to narrow down a big pile of similar matches. I am going to go ahead and nominate this, as it had a hot crowd and some stuff in it I really liked, there were points that it looked uncooperative which was cool, and Hase is really smooth in what he does. Still I am going to have a hard time distinguishing this from dozens of other similar matches. Nobuhiko Takada & Osamu Kido vs. Kazuo Yamazaki & Yoshiaki Fujiwara (12/27/87) This is of course right up my alley, built around Fujiwara having problems with Takada, and it had all the punches and mugging and headbutts you would want. I always like watching Fujiwara and Kido fight for holds and, they kept the Yamazaki v . Takada wanking to a minimum, fun finish too. Nomination Big Van Vader vs. Antonio Inoki (12/27/87) Really fun stuff, kind of a WWE Attitude style match with ref bumps and Choshu run ins, Vader is still pretty green but this is a big main event match, and you can see why it was such a big deal. Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Masa Saito (12/27/87) I was really digging this, as it was well on the way to being the best match on this disc, but it ends really abruptly in about 7 minutes and I think that keeps it off.
