2/8/2010

Akiyama, Morishima & Shiga vs Ogawa, Rikio & Marufuji, 3/18/01, some clipping. I never expected a 6-man featuring Ogawa as a team leader to be heated, let alone one taking place in Differ Ariake, but this match proved me wrong! And man, there was just no going wrong with Morishima vs Rikio at this point.


2/7/2010

Kikuchi vs Hashi, 5/13/05. Upgrade.


2/3/2010

Akiyama & Nagata vs Misawa & Kobashi, 2/17/02. Upgrade.


2/2/2010

Kobashi & KENTA vs Misawa & Suzuki, 9/1/02. The first time Misawa and Kobashi got to face off after Kobashi's return, and they do so alongside their students.


1/31/2010

Kobashi, Shiga & KENTA vs Akiyama, Saito & Kanemaru, 11/20/02. I spent quite a lot of time scouring the internet to find every last Burning/Sternness match that got taped. This is maybe the most obscure one, and it's good enough to justify the effort.


1/30/2010

Akiyama & Takayama vs Kobashi & Kikuchi, 9/16/00. I'm not going to pretend like the outcome is much in doubt, but it's the journey, not the destination.


1/26/2010

Aoyagi vs Marufuji, 12/15/00. Pretty sure this match is from an alternate universe.


Kobashi, Kikuchi & KENTA vs Akiyama, Shiga & Kanemaru, 12/15/00. Burning vs Sternness, always good times. It's kinda remarkable how much the Kanemarus of the roster stepped up in NOAH.


1/20/2010

Kobashi & Honda vs Akiyama & Kanemaru, 4/16/06. Upgrade.


1/11/2010

Kobashi & Honda vs Saito & Inoue, 8/20/04. Upgrade.


1/9/2010

Takayama vs Kikuchi, 10/7/00. Granted, these two can only have 'so' good a match given the size difference... but it can't NOT be good either.


Akiyama & Koshinaka vs Kobashi & Shiga, 11/18/05. Upgrade.


12/13/2009

Takayama vs Sano, 8/1/04. Upgrade.


Rikio, Morishima & Marufuji vs Kobashi, Yone & Shiozaki, 2/20/05. Upgrade.


12/12/2009

Marufuji & KENTA vs Kobashi & Kikuchi, 4/2/06. Upgrade.


11/30/2009

Takayama & Sano vs Saito & KENTA, 10/13/06. Upgrade.


11/28/2009

Misawa vs Taue, 8/1/04. Upgrade.


11/24/2009

Shiozaki, Nakajima & Sugawara vs Sai, HARASHIMA & KAZMA, GPWA, 11/14/06. Upgrade.


11/23/2009

Morishima & Yone vs Rikio & Sugiura, 11/17/06. Upgrade & now in full.


11/21/2009

Marufuji & KENTA vs SUWA & Marvin, junior tag titles, 10/22/04. Higher bitrate.


11/20/2009

Akiyama, Saito & Hashi vs Rikio, Morishima & Ikeda, 8/27/01. Some clipping, but I did patch in some extra footage by merging the TV and comm tape versions. Rikio, Morishima and Ikeda are all in a four-man contenders tournament later in the tour, so that means Akiyama is an even bigger target than usual.


11/18/2009

Akiyama vs Omori, GHC tournament semifinal. Upgrade.


Misawa vs Akiyama, GHC tournament semifinal. Upgrade.


11/14/2009

Kobashi & Shiga vs Misawa & Sano, 12/1/02. Both teams lost in a tag title challenge in the last few months, and thus need a win to have any hope of getting another. Also, Kobashi is fresh off a win over Taue and can make an impression on the champ.


11/11/2009

Ultimo & Yossino vs Takaiwa & Y. Sasaki, Differ Cup '03 final. Upgrade.


Kobashi & Akiyama vs Takayama & Keith Walker, 10/31/09. A lot of huge bumps in not-a-lot of time.


11/10/2009

KENTA & Suzuki vs KUDO & MIKAMI, Differ Cup '03 3rd place match. Upgrade.


11/9/2009

Rikio & KENTA vs Kobashi & Suzuki, 8/14/02. Clipped. Kobashi squares off with a more grown-up Rikio! The first ever Kobashi vs KENTA interaction! Also featuring Kotaro Suzuki as Loss Post Pete.


Rikio, Morishima & KENTA vs Misawa, Sano & Suzuki, 8/15/02. Clipped. A battle in the pouring rain!
