AJPW Tag
Well, three of the wrestlers in this match made it onto my ballot for our little Top 100 Ever project, including the guys in the top two spots, so yeah, like Ed said in his post, this was never gonna be anything less than enjoyable.

I will always especially love the pairing of Hansen and Kobashi. No matter how far the latter got in his career, Hansen always seemed to take particular offense anytime he hit him, and watching the big gaijin proceed to beat the crap out of him every time never got old. And some of that certainly showed up in this match towards the end where the Americans are just taking wild swings at the kid.

The biggest compliment I can give Boss Man here, who I haven't really seen much of in total, is that he definitely doesn't look out of place at all. He gives good effort, he's pretty smooth when the situation calls for it, and he works the style well. I can see from Cagematch that he had way more All Japan matches than I'd have guessed, and it makes sense after seeing how well he fits here. Some of that obviously comes from working with three of the greatest to ever do this, but he pulls his weight just fine.

Not much more to say about the match itself except that I really enjoyed the finishing sequence. It's just dang good tag wrestling, and I'll always enjoy a match like that.
