In an era when many matches run too long, this list of great matches under 10 minutes by @chrislovespuro, with @EthanMacncheese and @CCherryCChase, provides a refreshing palate cleanser. I'll list the matches discussed that are freely available below...
Today, I'm starting a project where I chart the complete story of what I consider to be the bestt tag-team come rivalry in wrestling history. I'm sharing every match I can find featuring both Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi in chronological order. One per day in this thread.
Though they were involved in some prior house show tags, this is the first televised AJPW match featuring both Misawa and Kobashi in the same ring. Tiger Mask II & Kenta Kobashi Vs The British Bulldogs. 20 January, 1990.
I can't find the whole of this match, so here is the conclusion of Kenta Kobashi & Tiger Mask II Vs Stan Hansen & Joel Deaton from 24 February, 1990. facebook.com/AJPWClassics/v…
