Comming into this match I expected it to be a contender to the crown of Sanada vs kono for the most boring match I have seen, and while it was dull as fuck for large stretches it was still not as bad as that dreadful match. Its a 60 minuite draw, not the right two … Continue reading SUWAMA c vs Taiyo Kea AJPW Triple Crown Title AJPW 31/08/2008

This is arguably the best match of tanahashi's career, the other ones in contention are probably the 2004 match Vs fujita and Vs Suzuki from 2012. In this match tanahashi is technically a free agent as he refused to sign his deal with NJPW at the start of the year. But really everyone knew that … Continue reading SUWAMA Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi 2008 Champions Carnival Final AJPW 09/04/2008
