Taka Michinoku, Gran Naniwa & Super Delfin vs Great Sasuke, Tiger Mask IV & Shiryu

MICHINOKU PRO - 03/16/96


I love every single wrestler in this match so for me, this is spectacular.  However, as an unbiased spectacle it's still a really good match, with a terrific blend of puroresu style wrestling which is common in Japan, and lucha libre, which is associated with Mexico, but also common in Japan.

This match makes me hate WWE.  Taka is such a talent, and even though he's not WWE's idea of a superstar, he deserved to be more than the jobber they turned him in to.  But that's WWE.  Elsewhere, Taka is not only appreciated, but he's celebrated - and rightfully so.  This is one of many great matches Taka has participated in (the same can also be said for the others).  So, sit back and enjoy this one from the same year as Kurt Angle won the gold and grunge was coming to an end.
