1/7/99 Kochi-ken Min Taiikukan: Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs. Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama. Kawada & Taue were pretty nasty here. I particularly liked the knee drop Kawada did to the area on Kobashi's head Vader had bloodied. Fans got into it when Akiyama made the hot tag. They probably should have shown this whole match. It was technically good throughout and became highly dramatic with so many nice near falls, but I never quite had the feel for the overall quality. That said, if I were to guess I'd say it was an excellent match. Kobashi & Akiyama win titles.

1/16/99 Tokyo Korakuen Hall Asia Tag Titles: Tamon Honda & Jun Izumida vs. Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki. Some nice moves, but that was the be all and end all because only one team could give you anything good. It was a fun match when Hayabusa & Shinzaki were on offense, highlighted by an awesome swandive body press over the guard rail by Hayabusa. On the other hand, it was really boring when Honda & Izumida were on offense. Shinzaki did a sick blade job early on, but it pretty much only provided shock value. Hayabusa & Shinzaki deserve a lot of credit for making this worthwhile, but it was still over 23 minutes of things happening for little if any rhyme or reason. ***

Toshiaki Kawada vs. Hiroshi Hase 20:55. Kawada was returning from breaking his arm winning the Triple Crown against Misawa on 1/22/99, wrestling in a soft cast he constantly fooled with, & Hase hadn't wrestled in almost as long due to political commitments, so this wasn't the ideal time for the 1st meeting between two of the all-time great heavyweights. Nonetheless, while they didn't tear the house down like they could have under more ideal circumstances (in a main event title match, with Hase having actually beaten at least 1 wrestler of note in AJ), this was a smart, simple but effective match that's certainly fun for Kawada fans. They started with a typical Kawada fierce striking exchange, full on intensity from the opening bell, but after a few strikes Kawada "couldn't" fire back because of the right arm. Though this was a great story point from a master storyteller, it's also true that Kawada did rush back for the Tokyo Dome, and only managed to wrestle 11 more matches in 1999, though a subsequent eye injury also played a big part in that. They quickly established that Hase was able to play more or less even in standup because, although Kawada is the much better striker, his striking game was somewhat compromised, but Hase had a huge advantage on the ground because he's the master technician. I loved how Hase shifted his more puro style technical game into something more shoot oriented for Kawada, but despite it being somewhat understandable given AJ never lets anyone win with a submission, it was epically frustrating that the crowd was dead while Hase was working the bad arm with the V1 armlock & Kimura, as that should have at least gotten some sort of heel heat or reaction to him being "opportunistic". The crowd really sucked for this match in general, reacting to things that could have been excluded such as Hase kicking out at 1, but not the actual story of the match, and I think that's the main reason it's been underrated. This was a serious match, and they did the match you'd expect given Kawada's return. It should have went over much better, but Kawada wasn't getting underdog or gutsy face reactions & Hase wasn't getting any reaction to his tactics. The crowd just reacted to the known, the giant swing, the powerbomb, the signature spots, and I suppose that's understandable given Tokyo Dome shows are mostly casual/passing/sort of fans, but that's not what this match was about at all, it was about the unknown, which is whether Kawada's arm would hold up, and if he was healthy enough to beat Hase despite being compromised. You aren't supposed to win your return match, so this was the perfect time for AJ to pull the trigger on giving Hase a big win to set up actually being able to do something meaningful for him, or hell even just having Kawada get the win back once or twice when he was actually recovered so they'd have a chance at a proper series, but instead they had Hase dominate until he semi knocked himself out when Kawada half countered his uranage, leading to Kawada quickly finishing him off. ***1/2
Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama & Jinsei Shinzaki vs. Johnny Ace & Animal Warrior & Hawk Warrior 17:37
Triple Crown Heavyweight Title Match: Vader vs. Mitsuharu Misawa 18:07. A nice spectacle that played well for a simplistic crowd, but the match would have been a lot more dramatic if the storytelling wasn't so uninspiring. Vader dragged Misawa into a striking brawl, and that's a very bad place for Misawa to be, as Vader simply has too much size to be exchanging with. Though Vader throws in a number of impressive high impact moves highlighted by the powerbomb on the floor, his strikes generally are not that stiff compared to even what he'd do in big matches earlier in the decade against Sting or Cactus Jack, much less Antonio Inoki or Nobuhiko Takada. After getting methodically destroyed like a Saturday morning jobber for the 1st half of the match, Misawa finally ducked a lariat & made a hot comeback with his elbows. Vader hit a Big Van splash off the apron earlier, so Misawa throws in a slingshot body press to the floor to match him. Though Misawa's sequence is much more dynamic than Vader's, and the crowd really starts rocking when he's able to German suplex the big man, the biggest downside of the match is there's very little interplay. Vader has a huge run to start, Misawa has a nice sprint of offense, then Vader comes back with a huge released German & a series of big power moves that could be the finish. By the time Misawa gets his second bit of offense in after Vader misses his moonsault then gets cut off on the top, we're already down to the last couple minutes of the match. I get that Misawa winning with elbows is a more logical place to be given that someone would probably get injured if Misawa was trying to hoist Vader up & drop him on his head, but they never figured out how to transition from the logical Vader outstriking Misawa to Misawa knocking Vader out with the trusty elbow. Misawa was consistently using elbows during his very inconsistent runs of offense, but the first comeback was using the elbows to set up him beating Vader with speed & athleticism, which was the winning strategy. I would have liked to have seen more of that even if he was going to ultimately win with the elbow in a KO after just being too athletic & conditioned for the big guy , rather than basically just getting mauled all night then what didn't work before suddenly works because I don't really know other than it's the Baba "Retirement", so obviously the native top star has to take the title from the foreign monster. In any case, this started Misawa's 5th, what no one expected at the time, final TC run. ***1/2

The fans bought Akiyama's near falls before the 2 minute mark because they were working so fast and the moves were his big ones. Akiyama looked really good and raised the level of Ace's work, but Ace still wasn't that impressive. Although this was a hot match, it was so short that there really wasn't anything to it. *1/2

This show was basically broken up into three sections. In the first and third section, the five guys in the studio (who include Kobashi & Momota) discuss Baba's career. In the long middle section, they feature some of Baba's most famous matches. They only showed parts of seven different matches (between 4-12 minutes of each), so they don't really give you a feel of the path his career was taking. It was more like a recommended match list, except they leaned more toward notable events (ie Baba winning a major title) than great matchdes. The most noticable difference was in his athleticism, it seemed a lot worse in the matches after the Robinson match.
8/14/67 Osaka Kyujo Toksetsu (specially installed) Ring 2/3 Falls International Heavykyu Senshukenjiai: Giant Baba vs. Gene Kiniski. The one hour time limit expired during the deciding fall, so they went an extra 5 minutes, but it still wound up being a draw.
10/9/73 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan 2/3 Falls International Tag Senshuken Jiai: Dory Funk Jr. & Terry Funk vs. Giant Baba & Tomomi Tsuruta. Another hour draw.
12/21/74 Kagoshima-ken Taiikukan 2/3 Falls NWA Sekai Heavykyu Senshukenjiai: Jack Brisco vs. Giant Baba. Baba wins title.
7/24/76 Tokyo Kuramae Kokugikan 2/3 Falls PWF Heavykyu Senshuken Jiai: Giant Baba vs. Billy Robinson. Robinson was able to get some quality wrestling (for the time period) out of Baba.
10/31/79 Nagoya Aichi-ken Taiikukan NWA Sekai Heavykyu Senshuken Jiai: Giant Baba vs. Harley Race. Double juice. Baba wins the title.
2/4/82 Tokyo Taiikukan PWF Heavykyu Senshukenjiai: Giant Baba vs. Stan Hansen. This really lacked stiffness, particularly Baba's pitiful chops. They brawled on the floor for a count out. Hansen continued attacking Baba, taking out the undercarders that tried to stop him, until Baba finally knocked him to the floor with a boot to the head.
Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi vs. Stan Hansen & Giant Baba. The best match on the tape. Baba was really washed up by this point, but he wrestled seriously and Misawa & Kobashi took it to him (although you could see they were being really careful with him). Even in the edited down version, you could tell Hansen was really carrying the team. A strong heated contest. The fans went nuts when Kobashi moonsaulted Baba, but Misawa wound up scoring the major win, pinning Baba with a better (diving) version of Baba's famous neckbreaker drop.
Finally, they showed Baba's "retirement match" from the 5/2/99 Tokyo Dome show.

Jinsei Shinzaki vs. Stan Hansen. Shinzaki gave one of his best performances, doing a great job of getting around Hansen's inability to move. I still can't believe this was actually good. **1/2
Takao Omori & Yoshihiro Takayama & Satoru Asako vs. Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama & Kentaro Shiga. Akiyama was the best of the bunch. He even made Takayama look good. Kobashi didn't try too hard, but his teammates made up for that. ***1/4

World's Strongest Tag League 1999 Final Match: Jun Akiyama & Kenta Kobashi vs. Akira Taue & Stan Hansen 20:15
Kentaro Shiga vs. Makoto Hashi. The spots were well done, but it was pretty basic. *1/2
Rusher Kimura & Mitsuo Momota & Satoru Asako vs. Masa Fuchi & Haruka Eigen & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi. Asako & Kikuchi didn't do anything to save this. -**
Vader vs. Takeshi Morishima. Vader actually sold a little for Morishima. Morishima even did a dive. It was pretty decent while it lasted, but that was only 4:08. *
'99 Sekai Saikyo Tag Ketteileagusen: Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama vs. Akira Taue & Stan Hansen. Slow-paced stiff match. Hansen looked really awful because he's so incredibly slow. Taue was alright. Kobashi & mainly Akiyama were the whole match. It had a lot of heat, but was nothing special until the end. **1/4
Masahito Kakihara & Naomichi Marufuji vs. Maunakea Mossman & Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Kakihara stole the whole as usual. Mossman didn't do anything of note, but it was very good when Kanemaru was in with Kakihara. **3/4
Johnny Smith vs. Masao Inoue. They did a few good teases revolving around the Argentine backbreaker, but the match was short and what focus it had didn't really go anywhere. *1/2
Gary Albright & Wolf Hawkfield & Tamon Honda vs. Johnny Ace & Mike Barton & Jun Izumida. Several awful performance. The match was basically kick, punch, and headbutt. The big thing was a few near falls on Izumida. Ace gave Izumida an Ace crusher on the floor after the match because he was pissed that Izumida got pinned. 1/4*
'99 Sekai Saikyo Tag Ketteileagusen: Mitsuharu Misawa & Yoshinari Ogawa vs. Takao Omori & Yoshihiro Takayama. No Fear dominated Ogawa. Ogawa got a ton of support from the fans, but next to none from Misawa, who basically stood on the apron the whole match. The first 10 minutes was nothing special, but it got good after that. **3/4
