[2001-05-18-NJPW-Best of the Super Juniors] Shocker vs Dr Wagner Jr

[ohtani's jacket]

It was fun watching these guys have the type of match they couldn't really have in Mexico due to the stylistic differences. It's been a while since we've seen Shocker really bust loose as he's mostly been embroiled in his feud with the Guapos. What a talent he was. Probably the biggest discovery I've had revisiting this 2000-01 stuff is how good Shocker was. I usually prefer watching guys in their natural setting, but props to Shocker for being able to adapt to the New Japan juniors scene. Another feather in the cap of one of the new millennium's best wrestlers.
