New Japan 1990: Kobayashi, Kido & Choshu vs Dragon Bombers

-

Kuniaki Kobayashi, Osamu Kido & Riki Choshu vs. Dragon Bombers (Shiro Koshinaka, Takayuki Iizuka & Tatsumi Fujinami) (12/11) : Great high energy 6 man match. Good bits of Choshu vs Fujinami but also Koshinaka taking it to Riki. Kobayashi was excellent with Kosh & Iizuka. Kido was probably the one guy who didn't truly stand out but he was a good soldier in the battle nonetheless. 1990 New Japan tags really don't get the credit they deserve. Having seen many/most of the AJPW 90's Jumbo vs Misawa tags, these bouts fit in especially in regards to intensity & action. The big difference is that the New Japan tags are much shorter. This one is 12 minutes or so. Recommended stuff!

New Japan 1990: January - June

Hi folks! In case you missed these, I'm posting my full NJPW 1990 reviews/recommendations. These are from the first half of '90. Some you might have seen and some you might have missed. It's NJPW November so there's more to come! Liger vs H. Saito (01/18): Oh man! Loved this finish! This had a lot more in common with ECW than what you'd call NJPW Jr. style. Chair shots, fighting in the crowd, pile driver on a table. Saito's senton's are great and Liger goes off. Very good stuff. Liger vs Akira Nogami (01/20): joined in progress. Now this is your junior vs junior match. And both guys are going for broke on those dives - holy cow! The more that I see of Akira Nogami, the more I like him. Not sure how much we miss but what we see is a ton of fun! Choshu & Hase  vs H. Saito & T. Goto (01/25): Fast and furious tag wrestling done right! Everyone was fantastic since the focus was on beating the crap outta each other. Under 10 minutes of uncomplicated action...

Psycho September: Abdullah The Butcher vs The Sheik

Abdullah The Butcher vs The Sheik (Cage Match - TWA 1991): Hot damn! This is what Psycho September is all about! Sheik is cutting up the ref before Abby gets in the ring. We get bloody carving in the ring. Sabu throws a metal trash can over top of the cage. Sheik caves the bin in over Abdullah's bald head. Eventually there's a winner but things don't end. In fact, things get crazier! Sabu is in the mix, Kevin Sullivan comes out, Terry Funk is fighting. Sheik gets a sign off a wall or something. Abby is choking a camera man. Some other dude gets it! Highly Recommended mayhem!

New Japan 1990: Animal Hamaguchi vs Masanobu Kurisu

Animal Hamaguchi vs. Masanobu Kurisu (08/16) - Fuck yes! Animal comes rushing out and it never lets up. Curly Sue beats him with a chair. Neck breaker drops from heaven gets Hamaguchi back in the fight. There's blood and an intensity & pace that sets this apart. Moves are fun and all but coming out like you're aiming to maim is far more important. These guys get that...and under 10 minutes. A great match without a doubt. RECOMMENDED

New Japan 1990: Hase & Sasaki vs Strong Machine & Goto

-

Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasaki vs Super Strong Machine & Tatsutoshi Goto (12/11/90): Bad-ass classic tag team match! Action packed and full of piss & vinegar! This period of Kensuke might just be my favorite because he's just a big headed dude trying to prove himself. Hase, Strong Machine & Goto are just their awesome normal selves. Everything just clicks here. I wanted to see this for a long ass time and that was a helluva match. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Plus it's under 15 minutes.

New Japan 1990: Muto & Chono vs Hashimoto & Sasaki

Keiji Muto &  Masa Chono vs Shinya Hashimoto & Kensuke Sasaki (06/18):  16 minutes of action! Chono & Sasaki were flying out the gate! Muto & Hashimoto slowed it down for a moment. Then this kept going at a steady pace until the finish. Chono had an awesome segment with Hashimoto involving the STF. Honestly everyone was excellent here. This was a very good tag match with four soon to be super stars. More 1990 New Japan to come. Stay tuned folks! 👇👇👇Click the labels for more matches you'd like to see!
