[1991-12-02-AJPW-Real World Tag League] Andre the Giant & Giant Baba vs Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada

[cactus]

Andre mixing it up with the likes of Misawa and Kawada is a bizarre sight! He's clearly in a lot of pain and cannot take bumps or run the ropes. The only thing resembling a bump he takes is when he misses his elbow drop, although I'm hard press to call it an actual bump, it's heartbreaking stuff. Thankfully, Baba is slightly agile and is able to carry this one for his team. He works a slow exchange with Kawada to open the match up and it works surprisingly well. He even rolls Kawada up with a school boy! The crowd do not care about the giant's workrate and pop big time for them.  They know how to use their star power and charisma to pop the crowd and not their bodies. This was a fun watch, all things considered.
