jdw Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 This would be the perfect spot for the greatest All Japan six-man that never happened: Jumbo/Kawada/Taue vs. Misawa/Kobashi/Akiyama. This never could have happened in the real world, but that's where fantasy booking comes in. Jun debuted on 9/17/92, so he worked on Jumbo's last "competitive" series (the October Giant Series from 10/02 - 10/21).  The Kobashi results from 1992 of that last series include these Akiyama matches of interest:  http://www.purolove.com/noah/kobashi/kobashi92.php  13.10.1992 @ Tsuruoka City Gymnasium: Jumbo Tsuruta & Masanobu Fuchi vs Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama (23:22) Tsuruta pinned Akiyama  16.10.1992 @ Aizu City Gymnasium: Toshiaki Kawada & Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama beat Jumbo Tsuruta & Akira Taue & Yoshinari Ogawa (24:27) Kawada pinned Ogawa.  19.10.1992 @ Isesaki Citizen Gymnasium: Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi beat Akira Taue & Masanobu Fuchi & Jun Akiyama (25:02) Kobashi pinned Akiyama.  Teamed opposite Jumbo, and teamed with Jumbo's side without Jumbo in the match. I'll have to look at the JWJ to see what non-Kobashi matches Akiyama might have had in that series in the Jumbo & Co vs Misawa & Co feud. He may have teamed up with Jumbo in one or more of them.

JerryvonKramer Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Dump Saito for Yatsu then. Â Actually the three-man team of Choshu, Jumbo and Yatsu would be all kinds of legit awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I would be interested in what one would come up with 1994, sticking more toward "regularly teaming" for the most part rather than "dream". Regularly teaming doesn't mean they have to be together the whole year, but that there's enough there.  All Japan for example:  03.01.1994 @ Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama beat Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue & Takao Omori (24:01) Akiyama pinned Omori  20.01.1994 @ Iwate Prefectural Gymnasium: Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue & Takao Omori beat Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama (27:03) Taue pinned Kobashi.  16.05.1994 @ Hamamatsu City Gymnasium: Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama beat Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue & Takao Omori (25:49) Akiyama pinned Omori.  31.08.1994 @ Region Plaza Joetsu: Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama beat Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue & Takao Omori (22:14) Akiyama pinned Omori  Omori did other teaming with Kawada & Taue's group, though starting in the Carny he also teamed with Hansen, and teamed with Jun in the Tag League.  Clearly Misawa & Kobashi & Akiyama were a "group", while Omori was loosely affiliated (thought not strong enough for me) with Kawada & Taue.  The gaijin are a little trickier.  Williams & Ace were a puched pair starting in May: they actually got the pin on the Champs in a non-title match exactly a week after the beloved 5/21/94 Misawa & Kobashi vs Kawada & Taue match. So clearly Williams & Ace are 2/3rds of a trio.  In turn, Hansen doesn't really have a subtible partner. He paired with Baba in the 1994 tag league because the Hansen & Omori team failed. Johnny Smith isn't a suitable #2. I don't have a huge desire to go Hansen & Baba & #3. So perhaps instead:  Williams & Ace & Smith Hansen & Kroffat & Furnas  Smith paired with Williams & Ace in a few trios against Kobashi in the Tag League, and bounced around during the year. As a #3, he's acceptable opposite Jun and Omori.  With Stan... there just isn't anyone. So instead I'd go with a "tag team specialists", with the gimmick being that those two are underdogs against the Misawa-Kobashi-Kawada-Taue level, are at the level of Jun and Omori, that's they use their "tag team wiles" to make up some of the ground, and if Stan hits you with the Lariat you're dead. Easy enough to book them early in the series beating one of the top teams to get it over as credible.  So:  All Japan '94 Misawa & Kobashi & Akiyama Kawada & Taue & Omori Williams & Ace & Smith Hansen & Kroffat & Furnas   16 teams might be too many since it would be a card of 8 trios matches and nothing else, night after night. Need a little mixing up. If one goes beyond AJPW and NJPW, somewhere between 10-12 teams:  4 AJPW 4 NJPW 1-2 WAR 1-2 FMW  Not sure if I'd want to Pogo Up the FMW teams since I don't think Baba would let his guys be worked over by the sickle.  Also don't know what one would slap together from either of those promotions.  NJPW... I'd have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
