Superstar Sleeze Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 The New Japan vs NOAH junior tags were great. Which one was your favorite? I feel like I ma in the minority, but I thought April was the best. I feel like I might short-changed Tenryu/Kojima and Nagata/Takayama may watch those again. I thought 2002 has been by far the weakest year of the decade. 1. New Japan (Liger & Minoru ) vs. NOAH (Kikuchi & Kanemaru) - NOAH 4/7/02 2. GHC Tag Champions Akiyama & Saito vs Kobashi & Shiga - NOAH 10/19/02 3. GHC Champion Yoshihiro Takayama vs Mitsuharu Misawa - Budokan 09/23/02 4. Genichiro Tenryu vs Satoshi Kojima - AJPW 07/07/02 5. IWGP Champion Yuji Nagata vs. Yoshihiro Takayama - Tokyo Dome 05/02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravJ1979 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 4/7 was my favorite NJ v. NOAH tag. I thought the other Liger/Tanaka fell short and the Liger/Inoue tag just missed the cut. 2002 was a bit weak, I've set up my watching to select between 10-12 matches per year because I'm doing a best/per year for another project I'm doing in addition to the poll.

dawho5 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think you guys are sleeping on Ogawa vs. Takayama from 02. Ogawa plays a damn good scrappy underdog. And the best part is he doesn't do any flippy style junior stuff and still manages some big nearfalls on Takayama. Otherwise I am in agreement on most of it. Not a Saito fan thus far. Maybe he will change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
