Mick Foley in All japan

[AbBY]

I hope this has never been posted... I read in Mick´s book he wrestled in AJ in the 90's. Do you know who he feuded with or some of his good matches?

[Luds]

He had a match against Kenta Kobashi in 91 as Cactus Jack.

And he faced Kawada for the TC at Hustle III...

that match with kobashi was pretty mediocre for foley/kobashi standards. i remember seeing it on an awful tape.

[Luds]

His match against Kobashi in 91 isn't bad. Foley was as fat as he is now... So he must have lost all the pounds during his ECW/WCW/WWF years.

i didnt say nor mean bad. it just disappointed me knowing much better stuff from both men. maybe i was also creeped out by seeing foleys body uncovered

[AbBY]

but I read that he wrestled jumbo tsuruta and jonny ace when he broke his elbow and all that, so he was doing well there?

[Black_Flag_Of_Ulster]

he defo did break johnny ace's elbow, which is why he never was invited back. im not sure about jumbo. he probably has but i cant remember. only saw him against kobashi.

[AbBY]

yeah, and he just wrestled for the triple crown with kawada i think...

[Toan]

Yeah, he did... though I'm getting it for Christmas I'm not totally optimistic it'll be good.

In the primes of both men it probably would have been an interesting match as mixing a match with stiffness and crazy bumps makes for a good match.

But seeing as how Mick's injuries still nag him (ie: The concussions from taking big bumps on a consistant basis) it probably wasn't the best it could have been as compared to having it in the early 90s.

I have the Kobashi/Cactus match on i think volume 1 of my 7 tape Kobashi set and it wasnt that good. IMO Kobashi had a better match with Dan Spivey which was next on the tape(if i can recall correctly Spivey nearly killed Kobashi with a powerbomb because Kobashi sorta acted like dead weight).
