5 Greatest All Japan matches

[Bushido]

1. Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaka Kawada (6/3/94) -No explanation necessary.

2. Kenta Kobashi vs Stan Hansen (7/28/93) -The greatest brawl ever. A nearly blind Hansen shows he was still the greatest old bastard who ever stepped inside a ring, and Kenta shows why, in 1993, he was the greatest wrestler alive.

3. Mitsuharu Misawa/Jun Akiyama vs Toshiaki Kawada/Akira Taue (12/6/96) -The greates tag match ever, with every participant playing their roles to absolute perfection, with great build fantastic action, and the deepest tag-psychology I've ever seen. The ending, with Akiyama being held down by Taue, desperately trying to reach out and save Misawa from Kawada's assault, is something I will never forget. Plus, the right team went over

4. Jumbo Tsuruta vs Mitsuharu Misawa (8/90) -The best cagey veteran vs young punk match ever. Jumbo knew exactly how to pace the match, and make Misawa look like a creible threat, further proving why Jumbo Tsuruta is the greatest ever.

5. Mitsuharu Misawa/Kenta Kobashi vs Toshiaki Kawada/Akira Taue (12/3/93) -Kawada's turns in an Oscar-worthy performance with his absolutely surreal selling of his knee and the other participants are no slouches either. Must be seen to be believed.

Well any match by The Butcher if you ask me. As soon as Abdullah starts carving up his opponent hahaha it makes me laugh. nothing can beat that !!

Just went to Japan for a few concert by the rock band KISS. Ofcourse I had to attend a wrestling show also. A Japanese contact arranged tickets for a BIG JAPAN show at Korakuen Hall but it seems I made a little error since I made a mistake in the date. I thought the show was 27th of May instead of 27th of June hahaha I found out 2 days before I left for Tokyo.

Can I make anybody happy with 2 tix for this event?
