Post-split All Japan

[Jetlag]

Early 2000s AJPW has some interesting looking cards:

AJPW Super Action Series 2000 - Tag 8

Singles Match

Mohammed Yone vs. Steve Williams

Singles Match

Masanobu Fuchi vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara

Tag Team Match

Jinsei Shinzaki & Yuki Ishikawa vs. Maunakea Mossman & Toshiaki Kawada (Yuki Ishikawa main eventing AJPW! against Kawada!)

 

Anybody seen this? Supposedly it was on GAOA TV.

 

Other interesting looking matchups:

• 12.9.2000 Nippon Budokan

• Genichiro Tenryu/Mitsuya Nagai vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara/Mohammed Yone

 

11.27.2000 Niigata

 

• Yoshiaki Fujiwara/Danny Kroffat vs. The Windham Brothers

There's quite a few interesting looking Fujiwara matches there. I've only seen Fujiwara and Fuchi vs. Nagai and Kakihara which is a godlike squash match. Yoji Anjoh also worked there.

 

There's also a 60:00 draw involving Kawada, Hase, Kensuke and Kojima. Only comment on it that I can find is that they filled the time well.

That 12/6/14 tag was excellent with Akiyama in particular kicking major ass. I love the way he's aged into a lumpier, more violent gatekeeper. The small-time atmosphere did hurt it a little though. They worked an epic style and the crowd wasn't there to meet them. Not the fault of the workers, just a little sad.
