Loss Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I get to see Liger lose a match and Eddy have a moment in one fell swoop. This is a bit in the afterglow of Benoit/Eddy the night before, but it's still an excellent match, and to this point, probably the biggest moment of Eddy's career. Liger sells the finish for a long time afterward and gives him a tremendous match to get him over. My comments are all about the booking because that's what my favorite thing about this is, but the wrestling is pretty great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Okay so they produced the type of match they wanted. As the final it had all the trimmings. Yet this was the same formulaic stuff they'd been churning out for years by this point. The Junior style had become so stale and tiresome. Ohtani was performing much better than everyone else in the division at this point because he was adding psychology and a storyline to his matches. Eddy was technically well suited to wrestling in Japan, but wearing the mask detracted from his charisma. I'd much rather watch him in the US, or Mexico in his early career. It was pointless having the Black Tiger gimmick anyway when there was no longer a Tiger Mask in NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Now this is more like it. This was a tremendous comeback story for Eddy, who gets used and abused for most of this but finds a way to come back and win, even getting out of the la majistral that Liger put Samurai away with, as well as most of his other finishers. I don't know if this *quite* has enough juice to finish in the top 15 MOTYs, but it would in a weaker year, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Another great match and a capper to the whole tournament. This seemed restrained at times but still delivered enough action and had the dramatic tones to not feel like they were holding back in any other way. The juniors are bringing it in 1996. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 1996 is a great year for NJ juniors. Started off with solid but not really exceptional matwork, but man did it take off once they kicked the match up a gear. They just had really great chemistry and the match-up felt fresh and interesting. Awesome ending with Eddy hitting his super brainbuster after having teased it, coming off of Liger unloading offense and it feeling like he was going to go down at any moment.
