Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Mitsuharu Misawa (AJPW, 6/8/1990)

AJPW - Super Power Series 1990 (6/8/1990)

Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Mitsuharu Misawa

I would probably need a better understanding of 90s AJPW to truly appreciate this match, but going in cold, I thought it was solid. Misawa's offense looked crisp and hit good. Jumbo's desperation was played up well in the finishing stretch, he begins to get flustered and starts making mistakes, which Misawa exploits to get the win. Budokan Hall explodes into cheers and there is a big celebration, which would have me believe that this is a very, very special moment.

***1/2

Genichiro Tenryu vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (AJPW, 6/5/1989)

AJPW - Super Power Series 1989 (6/5/1989)

Genichiro Tenryu vs. Jumbo Tsuruta

Tenryu was the sympathetic figure in this match, but that didn't stop him from getting in some vicious offense as well. This was action-packed with an intense pacing, and the crowd went nuts for Tenryu's hard-fought comeback.

***3/4

「Kotori」, Riho & Paksa vs. Sayaka Obihiro, Golem Thai & P-Nutz (Gatoh Move, 6/18/2016)

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・231 (6/18/2016)

「Kotori」, Riho & Paksa vs. Sayaka Obihiro, Golem Thai & P-Nutz

A bunch of wrestlers from GM's Thailand branch are here and one of them is named P-Nutz. I mostly watched this because Sayaka was dressed up like a cool brawler outfit, but it was a great trios. Golem Thai is ace material, IMO.
