Loss Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada and Mitsuharu Misawa v Jumbo Tsuruta, Akira Taue and Masanobu Fuchi - All Japan house show, I think in 1990 or 1991. If you can find the date for this, that would be *extremely* helpful. I tried looking it up, but there was dozens of matches featuring this combination of workers.

Guest Hunter's Torn Quad Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada and Mitsuharu Misawa v Jumbo Tsuruta, Akira Taue and Masanobu Fuchi - All Japan house show, I think in 1990 or 1991.If you can find the date for this, that would be *extremely* helpful. I tried looking it up, but there was dozens of matches featuring this combination of workers. I'll try to find the date. If it helps any, the match is part of a tape that has a 'Best of Japan in the 90s' type theme to it, with the matches from 1990-1992, and the other matches include a handheld of Hiroshi Hase v Jushin Liger, as well as some Joshi too, including the Hair v Hair tag match where Aja Kong and her partner, I can't remember her name right now, got shaved bald.

Loss Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Liger/Hase is 05/06/91. Aja's partner was Bison Kimura in that match, which I have on a comp myself. It's scary that these dates just pop up off the top of my head. Do you want to nominate Liger/Hase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Oh shit, I just realized that I had to do something with this... never mind... Scratch that. This sounds like fun, do I just send a comp tape of the nominated matches to Loss? Cause I don't think I can put them on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brian Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I have the M-Pro match from a master, which Loss probably already picked up. I think I know someone with the BattleArts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we're worried about right now is getting plenty of nominees in every category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Famous Mortimer Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have the M-Pro match from a master, which Loss probably already picked up. I think I know someone with the BattleArts. I've got the Battlarts, chance as not. And I don't think anyone's nominated Misawa - Kawada, 6.3.94, have they? It's like missing out "Citizen Kane" from a best films poll because you're sure someone else will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DylanWaco Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 What are the dates on the two really good Yamakawa/Honma death matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brian Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 The latter one, which i remember as the better, took place on 1/2/00 and aired 1/23/00. The first one was like 6/27/99, and aired the following month. It's on the DVDVR list of Best of the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I added every ****1/4+ AJPW match of the 90s from the Rasman list so we can make sure we get all of those obvious ones and focus more on other promotions that don't get talked about as much.

Resident Evil Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just reading that list -- Man, you know if a match makes it on that set of DVDs it's one good match!

Benoit vs Lyger 8/10/90 Benoit vs Lyger 11/1/90 Lyger vs Honaga 4/30/91 Benoit vs Lyger 2/10/92 Benoit/Finlay vs Eddie/Casas 4/30/92 Benoit vs Ohtani 5/26/94 Benoit vs Honaga 19/27/94 Tourney Finals Benoit vs Kanemoto 3/13/95 Benoit vs Black Tiger 7/4/95 Benoit vs El Samurai 7/7/95 Benoit vs Black Tiger 7/13/95 Benoit vs Regal 9/23/95 Benoit vs Gedo 12/13/95 Benoit/Lyger/Samurai/Hamada vs Taka Michinoku/Shinjiro Otani/Koji Kanemoto/Tokimitsu Ishizawa 2/3 falls 3/14/96 Benoit vs Black Tiger 6/11/96 Benoit vs Lyger 8/12/92 Chris Benoit/Jushin Liger/El Samurai/Kendo Kashin vs Chris Jericho/Shinjiro Ohtani/Koji Kanemoto/Tatsuhito Takaiwa 9/22/97 - Niigata, Japan There are a lot of junior tags for 97 that should be looked at.
