Jumbo Tsuruta vs Yoshiaki Yatsu - Reviewed on Classics. 3. Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs Kenta Kobashi & Great Kabuki - Reviewed on Classics. 4. Giant Baba, Rusher Kimura & Masa Fuchi vs Genichiro Tenryu, Toshiaki Kawada & Fuyuki - Tenryu and Baba started it off with a fierce exchange and for the rest of the match, Tenryu slapped or chopped Baba every time he got near him on the apron. The crowd was desperate to see the old man get his hands on the punk champion. Fuchi became sort of a surrogate for the people, hurling himself into harm's way over and over to get retribution for his beloved boss. His story actually became the spine of the match. Would he overreach one time too many in his zeal to attack Tenryu? It turned into a hell of a show overall, with lots of nasty exchanges, some great saves from the apron and plenty of oohs and ahs from the fans. Baba looked great, keeping his appearances short but impactful. Strong nomination.
