[1988-12-10-AJPW] Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada

[tcg91]

Very good match, mostly focused on Kawada replacing Ashura Hara and gradually trying to hang with the Olympians. This was well done, as Kawada managed to get some offense on Yatsu, but had no chance against Jumbo, who worked on his leg to stop the mobility of such an aggressive underdog. Tenryu got involved more than he usually would, to protect his new partner, which was some good storytelling as he was growing into being the babyface in the Jumbo feud. Besides, the Jumbo/Tenryu stuff was very enjoyable as usual. Good finishing run and a fitting underdog finish, as Kawada proved himself and managed to get Jumbo counted out.
