Genichiro Tenryu, Samson Fuyuki & Toshiaki Kawada vs. Isao Takagi, Jumbo Tsuruta & Mighty Inoue

[7.0] "This exists via an audience recording. The previous night, a six-man tag with the Great Kabuki in Takagi's place was taped in Koriyama, and while it's a good match with a particularly fun Mighty Inoue performance, it wasn't top-of-the-line. I'll take 1990 Takagi over 1990 Kabuki, so that's a positive, and I'll sure as hell take Korakuen Hall over a dinky provincial venue. This isn't quite a classic, as it peters out some in the middle and Fuyuki isn't as impressive as the others, but it's an improvement over the previous night's match, and it's one of the stronger AJPW matches of the month. The first eight or so minutes are excellent, and there are enough good moments later on to make this solidly very good. The Tenryu/Takagi sequences continue to be satisfying in that "punk kid biting off way more than he can chew" way. Great bit that plays off of the finish of the previous night's match (where Inoue hit a flying shoulderblock to Tenryu on the apron, resulting in a knocked-out Tenryu getting counted out), where Jumbo tags Mighty in to hit a flying shoulderblock on Tenryu on the ropes, but ends up just flying out of the ring on his momentum while Tenryu doesn't go over. Fun-as-hell finish where Fuyuki ducks a Jumbo lariat, and Tenryu hits Jumbo with an enzuigiri to make him stagger long enough for Fuyuki to set up a suplex when he comes back on the rebound... only for Mighty to leap over between the two to get Fuyuki in a sunset flip for the pinfall (a trick I've seen him pull in the IWE, and which I love). ***3/4"
