[1996-02-17-AJPW-Excite Series] Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs Stan Hansen & Gary Albright

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Last few minutes of a successful title defense for Hansen and Albright, with Kawada nearly losing his head off of a brutal lariat at the finish.

Time was, I hated Hansen because he was such an effective monster heel. Today, there are few things in wrestling I enjoy more than watching him just out and out destroy someone with a lariat. The one could possibly go on the all time Hansen highlight reel.

Kawada had a real glazed looked after taking that Albright German suplex. He then ends up taking a vicious Lariat too. That will be put him down.

Um...four years late and a dollar short, but this is the same match as the title change. Kawada & Taue won the belts back on 2/20.

Same clips as before, cant remember another year from the 80's or 90's where All Japan was this quiet in the first two months.
