[1996-01-24-AJPW-New Year's Giant Series] Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs Stan Hansen & Gary Albright

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Finally, All Japan! But just a finish to see Hansen and Albright win the tag titles. It's a short clip, but Kawada's cross-eyed selling is awesome.

[Kronos]

One of the things I love about all japan is the sense that at any moment someone will unleash hell. We have it here as Kawada starts to make a comeback until Hansen lariatoooooooooos him dead.

 

Fantastic opening to ajpw in the set.

Don't know much about Albright, but he throws a mean suplex. The crowd knows when Hansen throws the Lariat that its a death blow. Hope to see more Hansen as we go along.

 

I like Kronos's comment about AJPW, and unleashing Hell...awesome!

[Kevin Ridge]

Albright tagging in and hitting that German was great. Lariat! And down goes Kawada. Just the finish with the tag title change.

[PeteF3]

Kawada gets killed dead, eating a sick German from Albright and then a Lariat from Hansen, though not without a nice little hope spot tease.

Finish was awesome here and it feels like All Japan has been missing. I loved the Lariat after getting temporarily stunted by the boot of Kawada. May actually want to seek this one out in full sometime.
