I concur that Misawa/Kobashi vs Taue/Kawada - 6/9/95 is the best match ever. Man so epic in every way.

Misawa/Kobashi - 3/1/03

GenNext, I'm the main resident Puro-Nerd concerning the big 3 (New Japan, All Japan, NOAH) and some Joshi (womens stuff) so if you want some recommendations just ask.

Oh, and Platt if you see this and you watched those Joshi matches I recommended I'm curious what you thought of them.

The tag, Kobashi and Go vs. Sasaki and Nakajima, is *****.

Actually, I'm downloading the match right now. I wish it would hurry the fuck up!

When I first saw it last summer I gave it ****1/4. I actually saw it right after I watched their first match. I bought the ROH Invades Japan DVD from IVP in January, but I have yet to watch it (too much to watch before).

1. 1st match
2. -
3. 3rd match
4. 2nd match

The first is so much better than the third that I had to give it another space.

The tag with Kensuke Office is waaaay better than the singles match in my opinion.

Didn't really like Sasaki/Kobashi at all, preferred Sasaki/Kawada to it.

The first one had a much more epic story than the second and had a 15x hotter crowd, so yeah, the first.

I guess I subconsciously have something against the most praised tags, because the Kobashi/Go v Nakajima/Sasaki match never really hit home with me either! I'll give it another go (no pun intended) though.

And I thought the first Kawada/Sasaki was great. The Dome crowd were red hot too which probably increased my enjoyment.

Yea Kawada/Sasaki was fantastic. Everything about it was so epic. Also seeing Kawada almost force Sasaki into working his first great match in ages was really fun.

I consider it way better than the Kobashi match which just felt weird to me.

both of Kobashi's NOAH Dome shows are just spotfest, really. Just that Kobashi sells them like a champ.

I like both of the matches, but still.
