The long awaited Part #2 of New Japan 1990. 

• Muto vs Choshu (05/24) Unfortunately, I didn't take any notes on this one but I did write that it was a great match! Watched the couple minutes to have some comments and Muto actually seems pretty animated and actually interested. I think my big Muto gripe as time goes on is he just seems to space out in terms of facial expressions... like he doesn't know he's on camera. It's not a stoicism thing...he just looks surprised or tired. Anyhow, Muto's still engaged and am looking forward to him in '90. I saw in the 1990 year book, people gave it ***3/4-**** and that seems right.
• Jushin Liger vs. Aoyagi (NJPW 6/12/90) - Worked shoot match. I thought it really picked up in round #3 of 4. Aoyagi went after Liger's mask. Liger/Yamada took it off and went bat shit crazy for the next two rounds. It's an interesting novelty match.
• Riki Choshu vs. Animal Hamaguchi (NJ 6/12/90) - Absolutely LOVED IT! Animal jumps Riki in the aisle and he's bleeding. These two beat each other from pillar to post. Animal is bleeding now. Under 10 minute master class in intense, believable pro wrestling. Great, great match.
• Koshinaka, Hoshino, Iizuka & Kobayashi vs Super Strong Machine, Honaga, Tatsu Goto &  Hiro Saito (06/18) - Last seven minutes but this is how it is done. Hoshino is bleeding from the nose, everyone is putting forth full energy & enthusiasm and dammit, I'm having a good time. No crazy moves needed 😁
• Muto & Chono vs Hashimoto & Sasaki (06/18) 16 minutes of action! Chono & Sasaki were flying out the gate! Muto & Hashimoto slowed it down for a moment. Then this kept going at a steady pace until the finish. Chono had an awesome segment with Hashimoto involving the STF. Honestly everyone was excellent here. This was a very good tag match with four soon to be super stars.

• Riki Choshu, Koshinaka, Hoshino, Sasaki & Kobayashi vs Super Strong Machine, Hamaguchi, Kurisu, Tatsu Goto &  Hiro Saito (06/26)  2/3 Falls 26 minutes of chaos. This is fast and frenetic as all get-out! There are so many participants and match-ups that really everyone shines. I will say Kensuke Sasaki gets the biggest boost from his performance here. Early and late career Kensuke is damn enjoyable. Um, what else without blathering on about specifics?? I thought Falls 1 & 3 were the best but, hey isn't that usually the way? It's just great wrestling and perhaps a classic match at that. It should be in the conversation concerning the legendary NJ multi-man matches of the '80-90's. It is really that great- time well spent!
• Steve Williams & Pegasus Kid vs Bam Bam Bigelow & Owen Hart (06/30) - This is like a WCW vs WWF fantasy match or something. A little jip but they probably shouldn't have spent the time on the intros. Anyhow, good match. I felt it was a good showcase for Owen & Pegasus (to a lesser extent). Owen looked really cool with his drop kicks and other moves. 
• Animal Hamaguchi, Masanobu Kurisu & Tatsutoshi Goto vs. Kensuke Sasaki, Riki Choshu & Shinya Hashimoto (06/30) - This was about 15 minutes worth of goodness. No team likes each other but Kurisu really doesn't like Riki & his team. The feeling is mutual. By the end of this match you're going to be fans of Animal, Kurisu & yes, even Goto. Hell! especially Goto! This was really good 6 man wrestling.
• Keiji Muto vs. Brad Rheingans (06/30) - Good match! This was a good pairing. Nice simple wrestling work on the legs & arms. Then followed up by slams, suplexes and moves which eventually led to the 1-2-3. Simple stuff but done right.
