'94 Champion Carnival League Match: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Jun Akiyama 11:25. Nowhere near as good or competitive as their 7/9/93 match, which is disappointing, but still a worthwhile fun little match. Akiyama struggles mightily to keep his head above water. He's simply outgunned, but despite one shot from Kawada equaling three or four shots from Akiyama, Jun does a good job of managing to maintain the advantage. You know Akiyama has no chance of winning, but he keeps finding ways to compete, countering Kawada well and injuring his knee. **1/2

'94 Champion Carnival League Match: Kenta Kobashi vs. Jun Akiyama 14:40. Kobashi just wanted to have a good match, so he allowed Akiyama to wrestle as though he had a legitimate chance of beating him. It was more athletic than their later maches, with better selling despite lesser moves. Obviously their later matches tend to be better because they are longer featured matches where Akiyama was better, and much higher ranked, but this was a lot of fun, and the fans were really into it, particularly supporting Akiyama as he pushed Kobashi. ***1/4

One of the greatest nights in pro wrestling history saw AJPW & NJPW go head to head in Tokyo with Kawada winning his first Champion Carnival and Wild Pegasus defeating The Great Sasuke to win the inaugural SUPER J CUP . Kawada's match is the antithesis of Kobashi's, it's all about how you do it rather than what you do. They laid out an excellent match that was thoroughly intelligent. It wasn't one of Kawada's deepest matches, but one every wrestler should see as it's really a textbook example of how to make the fans care about what you are doing. They showed the fans the big move that might be coming if they could get it off then did a great job of struggling for the move. It they couldn't get execute, they went back to it later, if they could, they showed you how devastating the move was with their selling. They had the fans believing in the moves, and thus the near falls, so they were getting huge reactions to everything. It was a rough match of course, but they weren't killing themselves unnecessarily, and when they were, it was at least greeted with the desired appreciation. ****1/2

Triple Crown: Misawa vs. Kawada. Best Mens Heavyweight Singles match of all-time! Their 6/6/97 match as well as Misawa vs. Kobashi from 1/20/97 and 10/21/97 are all more glamourous, but this match is a bit better because the psychology, build, timing, and selling are off the charts. Everything builds up to one of the great near falls ever at the 25 minute mark and from that point there's nearly 11 minutes of off the charts wrestling with the outcome very much in doubt throughout. Fans totally mark out for Misawa in the post match. What a performance by both men. *****
Triple Crown: Williams vs. Kobashi. Williams was at the top of his game here, and Kobashi shows why he's the best of the natives at working with the gaijins. Super match containing all the aspects that make AJ great. Williams suplexes are so dangerous that Kobashi could easily have broke his neck if one of the two made a slight mistake. ****3/4

Triple Crown Heavyweight Title Match: Steve Williams vs. Kenta Kobashi
Triple Crown: Williams vs. Kobashi. Williams was at the top of his game here, and Kobashi shows why he's the best of the natives at working with the gaijins. Super match containing all the aspects that make AJ great, though obviously with Kobashi there's better action but less psychology. Williams suplexes are at their most brutal here, and this is one of those matches where you feel like Kobashi was lucky not to have broken his neck. ****3/4

Triple Crown: Misawa vs. Kawada. Best Mens Heavyweight Singles match of all-time! Their 6/6/97 match as well as Misawa vs. Kobashi from 1/20/97 and 10/21/97 are all more glamourous, but this match is a bit better because the psychology, build, timing, and selling are off the charts. Everything builds up to one of the great near falls ever at the 25 minute mark and from that point there's nearly 11 minutes of off the charts wrestling with the outcome very much in doubt throughout. Fans totally mark out for Misawa in the post match. What a performance by both men. *****
Triple Crown: Williams vs. Kobashi. Williams was at the top of his game here, and Kobashi shows why he's the best of the natives at working with the gaijins. Super match containing all the aspects that make AJ great. Williams suplexes are so dangerous that Kobashi could easily have broke his neck if one of the two made a slight mistake. ****3/4

Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama vs. Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue & Yoshinari Ogawa. This match was built around Akiyama. He was stuck in the ring for about 8 minutes during one stretch, most of which saw him get destroyed. Later, he did his big spots to Kawada, but eventually Kawada kicked him in midair and Ogawa was soon getting near falls on Jun. ****
AJ TV 10/22/94 & 10/29/94 '94 Giant Series Final taped 10/22/94 Tokyo Nippon Budokan
Triple Crown Heavyweight Title Match: Steve Williams vs. Toshiaki Kawada. Traditional style title match, very long excellent slow builder. Kawada was really awesome here with super executions, facials, and selling. Williams selling of his bad knee was very impressive as well. Probably should have been 5 minutes shorter because the pace could have been a little faster and the crowd probably would have reacted better. Still, the place went nuts when Kawada won the Triple Crown! ****1/4
Mitsuharu Misawa & Stan Hansen vs. Akira Taue & Kenta Kobashi. These were special pairings for the Anniversary show. This was supposed to be a great match, but I didn't get into it that much with Hansen instead of Kawada. The work was really solid and the action was good. The psychology didn't seem to be that strong, unless it just went over my head, and the match just kind of went on forever without finding the extra gear to become that hot or exciting. ***3/4

'94 Sekai Saikyo Tag Kettei League Koshikisen Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi vs. Giant Baba & Stan Hansen
'94 World's Strongest Tag Team League Bout: Misawa & Kobashi (14 pts) vs. Williams & Ace (14 pts). Exciting match. Built really well to a really hot finish where the crowd was popping for everything. Williams was really over, as the crowd was looking for both Misawa & Kobashi to avenge their losses to him. Williams & Ace both played the evil foreigners really well, with lots of double teaming. Everyone begrudgingly shook hands after the match and they raised each others arms because the match was so good. ****1/2
'94 World's Strongest Tag Team League Bout: Baba & Hansen (13 pts) vs. Kawada & Taue (15 pts). Baba did a lot of spots for him and tried to work serious, but it's so hard to buy that. Kawada hit him really hard. However, they have to hold back on their spots and Baba can't take many bumps, so the whole time Baba was in it was basically an exchange of blows. The match was a lot better with Hansen in, but he never works a sequence either. Good match, but considering it was the final match of the tag league, it was a big disappointment. Baba & Hansen's win here allows Misawa & Kobashi to finish ahead of Kawada & Taue and win the tag league. ***1/4
12/4/92 Tokyo Nippon Budokan Sekai Saikyo Tag Kettei League Koshikisen: Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada vs. Akira Taue & Jun Akiyama. Great match that was a lot better than it had the right to be given Jun had been a pro for less than 3 months. Strong storyline and psychology with everyone playing their roles to perfection. This is the final match in the Tag League, and Misawa & Kawada needed a win to beat out Gordy & Williams and Hansen & Ace by 1 point. They were not going to let a rookie keep them from their glory. Jun worked most of the match, and he got elevated big time even though he did the job in the end. Misawa & Jun really worked well together, but Kawada vs. Jun was the highlight, as Kawada unmercifully punked Jun with incredible kicks. Great work. Hot crowd. Misawa & Kawada win tag league, but Fuchi & Taue pull Akiyama up and raise his hand because his gutsy performance hanging with the veterans was certainly worth of applause. For winning the tag league, Misawa & Kawada were awarded the Double Tag Titles that had been vacated by Jumbo & Taue. ****1/2

However, they have to hold back on their spots and Baba can't take many bumps, so the whole time Baba was in it was basically an exchange of blows. The match was a lot better with Hansen in, but he never works a sequence either. Good match, but considering it was the final match of the tag league, it was a big disappointment.
