Guest DylanWaco Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Fujanami v. DK 2/80 (I like it alot better than any of the DK/Sayama matches) Rick Martel v. Ric Flair AJPW 1985 Maeda v. Fujanami 1986 (I'm awful with dates) I'm trying to think of a specific Jumbo/Flair match, but all of them are good enough to be nominated. There's also a Tsuruta v. Von Erich match that deserves nomination. The finals of the 81 tag league also. I can't think of any Joshi right now and this list should have alot of Takada, Tenryu, Jumbo and a fair amount of early NJPW junior stuff and late 80's stuff involving Liger. Fuck I'm gonna have to dig up a tape list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 This will help some. Tatsumi Fujinami v Dynamite Kid (NJPW 02/05/80) Ric Flair v Rick Martel (AJPW 10/21/85) Akira Maeda v Tatsumi Fujinami (NJPW 06/12/86) Dory & Terry Funk v Bruiser Brody & Jimmy Snuka (AJPW 12/13/81) Nobuhiko Takada v Keichi Yamada (NJPW 05/01/86) Jushin Liger v Naoki Sano (NJPW 08/13/89) Jumbo and Flair had five matches against each other in the 80s. 10/09/81 06/08/83 04/24/85 10/19/85 And then one in '87 I can't remember. I'd definitely nominate the first two. I'm not as big a fan of the third one as most, but it should still go here so people can see it and decide for themselves.

Guest Famous Mortimer Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 The Crush Gals (Lioness Asuka/Chigusa Nagayo) v. Devil Masami/Jaguar Yokota (6/28/84) Wowzers. I highly recommend this to anyone who's not seen it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Antonio Inoki v Andre the Giant (NJPW TV 06/22/84) Two **** matches on one 60-minute TV show. Wow. This just confirms the belief I've always had that 1984 is the greatest year for wrestling ever, at least on a global level where every promotion everywhere is booming.

Guest Dovi Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Jaguar Yokota/Mimi Hagiwara/Yukari Omori vs. Devil Masami/Leilani Kai/Velvet McIntyre (AJW - 5/15/82 - 2/3 Falls) This might be tough to find. The VQ from the comp that I have it is what I would call 'good enough', but you guys might be able to find better.
