All of them? I still haven't seen but the 1/20/97 and 3/1/03 matches. I've almost exhausted all the 90s AJPW but Kobashi's singles matches and I'll get to those soon. Still haven't seen a Kawada vs Kobashi match so I'm looking forward to those.

Watched the May '96 match of Taue/Kawada vs Akiyama/Misawa and that was great. I'm not a fan of Akiyama nowadays but in this match he was great and I actually felt bad for him (deja vu from cena/lesnar) taking such a beating especially from Kawada. Fantastic match.

Also saw their RWTL match from 96 that wasn't the finals and if I had to throw a star rating on it I'd put it at ****1/2. Akiyama shines again while taking a beatdown and actually went through a table. Misawa also get the holy hell beat out of him.

Undercard looks interesting at least ....

Kanemaru beating Nakajima is horrible but ok. 1,700 for that card is horrible.

Tokyo Sports reported NOAH are running Sumo Hall 7/22 with NOAH vs All/New Japan matches. Sounds like it could be the closest to actual dream interpomotional matches of the supershows.

Noah vs All/New Japan show has real potential. Whats Akiyama going to do though? Is he more of a NOAH or AJ guy?

So what do ya'll think of this puro sampler lineup?

[antoniomare007]

Sekimoto/K.Hashimoto vs Sato/D.Hashimoto was very good. It lacked drama for a MOTYC nomination, it match was more of a showcase for the young guns and their feud with some good spots from the vets thrown in between.

Man, I hope if/when Zero1 books D.Hashimoto vs K.Hashimoto they don't make them go anything longer than 13 minutes. They are pretty great at what they do for such little time as pros, but they are still too raw for having an epic.

I got the sampler years ago and it does a great job of giving you a feel for different styles in Puro if you are relatively new to it. I remember it being totally worth the price at the time, so if it is still pretty cheap, it's worth getting imo.
