[2000-11-16-NOAH-Navigation in November] Takeshi Rikio vs Mitsuharu Misawa

[soup23]

A good trial match. Misawa was generous to Rikio without giving away too much. We didn’t get things like a Tiger Driver kick out or even an Emerald Flowsion tease here. On the other hand, Misawa has such great offense and the elbow that even a kickout of one flurry of elbows is a nice coup for Rikio. Rikio looked like he could hang with the big guns and this felt like the most prominent Misawa match with a purpose in NOAH since the 1^st night Departure tag. ***1/4 (6.4)
