We're moving on with more from 1986 All Japan!
Tiger Mask/Masa Fuchi vs Kuniaki Kobayashi/Masanobu Kurisu (05/17) - Yes! Action packed angry junior AJ wrestling! Kobayashi attacks the faces before the bell and folks get whipped into the guardrail and it blows apart. Then someone else gets whipped into it before its reassembled and crushes a the front row of fans. This is the Kurisu match I wanted. He and Kuniaki are great. So is Fuchi...pairing him with Misawa/Tiger II is a good choice. It brings out his mean streak.
Tenyru vs. Strong Machine (06/12) - A great match and something different. Tenryu tries to bowl Machine over at the start. Hirata/Machine counters him and gets the advantage for most of the bout. He neutralizes Tenryu with a variety of arm locks. This keeps the former sumo at a disadvantage. Here's a great example of Machine having a great singles match (I always think of him as a tag teamer) plus Tenryu working from underneath. I really dug this one.
We are cooking with All Japan in 1986! The roster is fantastic and it feels real special. Thanks for reading! Check out the labels below for more reviews you might enjoy! 👍
