Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Pegasus Kid

[8.0] "With this being pretty similar in technical savvy and smoothness of the 1st Liger and Sano match. These two put up their best match up to this point."

[7.0] "I watched the televised version, for me it was an amazing <10 minute match that reminded me of Tiger Mask's matches in prior, weird seeing Benoit win with a diving leg drop, but fun nonetheless"

[6.0] "Unfortunately, the match I saw was clipped which honestly takes me out of the match. Great action here from both men and some sick looking bumps but I really hate watching clipped stuff. I'd prefer seeing the whole thing. That being said, solid stuff."

[9.0] "The Liger vs. Pegasus feud couldn't quite match Liger vs. Sano, but this is still a impressive feud. Benoit is young, but he's already very good, but he doesn't yet have the tough style he will have in the future. The match is split in two parts. The first part is a very interesting matwork. The second part is more a traditional Jr. highspots. The match is great even if I find that it lacks in emotion. Pegasus Kid won his only IWGP jr. heavyweight championship of his career after a guillotine legdrop. (****1/4)"

[6.0] "The actual wrestling in this match is quite good, mat-based work. Showing off a side of Liger I haven't seen terribly much of. However, the fact that Liger seemed so weak against a move-set not as diverse or powerful as others he had faced to this point was a detractor. Still fun to watch, though I won't make it a point to go back."

[5.0] "My version cut's half the match out but what we do get is okay. Some neat WOS grappling early on but then it just ends soon after. **1/2"

[10.0] "The crowd was very excited for this match. a good atmosphere to it. fast action right from the beginning with good chain wrestling and counters. Jushin Liger had good use of submissions on Pegasus kid. I liked how the momentum shifted after Pegasus threw Liger over the top rope and started to work him over. The crowd popped big when Liger hit a tope con hilo. The match ended well enough with Pegasus kid hitting a tombstone piledriver then a guillotine leg drop to win his first championship in New Japan. great Junior heavyweight match."

[8.0] "I wish it lasted a bit longer, but they really managed to do a lot in a short amount of time. A few botched/awkward spots, but overall a really fast-paced and fun bout. ***3/4."

[8.0] "Short and sweet, but not really **** 1/2. Nonetheless a good match, that reminds me of the Misawa vs Pirata Morgana match."

[8.0] "A big match in "Liger - Pegasus Kid" rivalry! First Benoit's title win in Japan, great match with some magnificent mat work and awesome spots. Both Chris's and Thunder's idol is a Dynamite Kid, you can see that in the match. I wanted the match to last for 5 more minutes, so Kid and Liger could turn up the heat of the match and end it more unexpectedly. Very good title match, but not excellent!"
