Is this the famous 5-star Tsuruta-Tenryu match?

[Childs]

Well, they had the 1990 match right before Tenryu left.

Worth seeking out?

[Childs]

Well, it was kind of sad compared to their '89 matches, but if you take the time to watch their whole series, it's worth seeing the final chapter.

 

Also, as covered earlier in the thread, they didn't have a singles match on 12/6/89.

[kingliam]

Was there a big angle that led to the split between the two, or did they just go their separate ways?

[Childs]

Not really an angle in the American sense. Tenryu walked out on Hiroshi Wajima during a tag match and from there on, he was the chief rival of Jumbo and Co.

For those who have watched these matches, and any of the matches around the feud, what other matches might be worth looking at to supplement the feud?

 

I watched the first match from 87 yesterday for the first time. Definitely has my interest for the rest of the series.
