[1999-08-28-NJPW-Jingu Climax] Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Shinjiro Otani vs Jushin Liger & El Samurai

[cactus]

The more experienced team of Liger and Samurai rush Takaiwa and Otani and work this one as the heels. Samurai is a solid hand, but he's always overshadowed by Liger even when he's teaming with him.  Otani has seven years of wrestling experience at this point, but he still has that fire in his belly that a lot of the NJPW young lions have and his springboard attacks look as spectacular as ever. Never has a springboard move look as effective than when it comes from Shinjiro Otani. Liger shoteis Takaiwa, but he powers up in a really cool spot. The youngsters are able to pull this one off, but this felt like it could of went either way.
