[2000-07-11-NJPW] Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Shinjiro Otani & Koji Kanemoto vs El Samurai & Kendo Kashin & Jushin Liger

[soup23]

I guess this was at Samurai's hometown but that made the match molten and raised that above some of the entries we have seen from these guys. Liger, Kashin and Samurai were not above being pricks and taking short cuts here against the pricks and that attitude was something I also appreciated. The final stages with Samurai working for the nearfall had some of the best heat we have seen in Japan and I bit on quite a few of the nearfalls while thinking they wouldn't pull the trigger on Samurai actually winning. Another great entry for these guys in 2000. **** (7.8)
