Your Ten Personal Favourite Tag Team Bouts Ever?
Just list your ten favourite Japan-based tag matches ever, and lets see what bouts seem to re-occur the most. I used to think tag team wrestling was boring, but as soon as I got into Puro and Lucha I realized how great it was(prolly because American tag style is so lame). Anyhoo, lets get on with the lists...
In no particular order:
- Kenta Kobashi & Toshiaka Kawada v.s. Mitsuharu Misawa & Akira Taue(6/4/99)
- Stan Hansen & Genichiro Tenryu v.s. Jumbo Tsuruta & Yoshiaka Yatsu(12/6/89)
- Keiji Mutoh & Hiroshi Hase v.s. Jyushin Lyger & Chris Benoit(10/5/93)
- Keiji Mutoh & Taiyo Kea v.s. Tatsumi Fujinami & Osamu Nishimura(10-28-01)
- Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi v.s. Toshiaka Kawada & Akira Taue(12/3/93)
- Yoshihiro Takayama & Takao Omori v.s. Jinsei Shinzaki & Hayabusa(6/4/99)
- Akira Maeda & Nobuhiko Takada v.s. Keiji Mutoh & Shiro Koshinaka(3/26/87)
- Vader & Steve Williams v.s. Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama(2/20/00)
- Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima v.s. Toshiaka Kawada & Mitsuya Nagai(9/16/01)
- Stan Hansen & Terry Gordy v.s. Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaka Kawada(12/16/88)
I'm sure I forgot a few, but off the top of my head, those are my ten favourites.
I have seen the face of Satan, and his name is Bill Apter.
the Misawa/Kobashi vs Kawada/Taue match when Tosh scored his first pin on Misawa, around '95. I would have remembered the date a few months back!
Made it, Ma! Top of the World!
TenKoji vs. Barton/Steele G1 Tag League Final
Chono/Tenzan vs. Nishimura/Nakanishi 60 min. draw

Somebody make a tape of those 12 matches and I'll buy it...
I wish Giant Baba was my Grandpa, then id have a reason to feel so ANGRY......
That's a great list, but it's almost entirely heavyweight matches. I'm curious to see what some other fans' favorite junior tag matches are. Any takers?
