Final Battle 07 had that clusterfuck tables match right? I remember hating that at the time, really awakard and dead when people weren't crashing through tables. Stevens-Strong was my favourite match too but the crowd was really quiet and took a little bit away from it for me.
Best of NJPW in the 1990s
20. El Samurai vs. Shinjiro Ohtani ***3/4
19. Vader vs. Stan Hansen ****1/4
18. Hiroshi Hase vs. Great Muta ****1/2
17. Keiji Mutoh/Masa Chono vs. Hiroshi Hase/Kensuke Sasaki ***3/4
16. Vader vs. Antonio Inoki ****
I've already seen most of the matches on this set but I couldn't pass up five discs for thirteen dollars.

Yeah I can see giving a lower rating to Hansen-Vader, I've always rated it higher than most. I'm pretty liberal with star ratings to be honest. Speaking of which....
I wanted to wait to do the matches in order but I jumped around a little bit today, mainly because I'm on a Liger binge lately.
Jushin Liger vs. Owen Hart ****1/4
Jushin Liger vs. Shinjiro Ohtani ****1/2
Keiji Mutoh vs. Masa Chono ****3/4
Jushin Liger vs. Naoki Sano *****
Outside Misawa,Kobashi and maybe Kawada Liger is probably my top star getter(and one of the few guys I can watch three times in quick succession)
No worries man. I'm gettin SOH IV, I have that Styles best of, and I'm sure Spanky's best of is awesome. Good choices.
EDIT: Finally finished this one. Been watching it for weeks.
Chikara King of Trios 2009 Night 1
Team EPIC WAR vs. The F1RST Family ***1/4
The Osirian Portal vs. Team PWG ****
The Roughnecks vs. Team Uppercut **3/4
Team CZW vs. Da Soul Touchaz ***
F.I.S.T. vs. Death Match Kings ***
Team DDT vs. The Future Is Now ***1/2 This one got quite sloppy at times, but it was still very good.
Incoherence vs. Masters of a Thousand Holds ***3/4 Another very good one. Don't understand why this wasn't the main event, to be honest.
The Unstable vs. The Cold Front **3/4 Very disappointing as a main event. Should have been a midcard matchup. It is very confusing that it was the main event.
I am now done with the whole King of Trios weekend. Night 2 was the best of the 3 nights. Then Night 3, then Night 1.
lmao at Rick Knox scarring Omega and Taylor off because Knox clotheslines the fuck out of Omega at Express Written Consent. Plus, you can always count on Cabana saving the day.
