WWWA World Tag Team Championship, best of 3 falls: Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada (All Japan Women; champions) vs Dynamite Kansai & Mayumi Ozaki (JWP; challengers) 11/26/92
I never thought I would see a better match than their 4/11/93 classic, but this match proved me wrong. Same incredible workrate and moveset, but with even more stiffness and with crisper execution than in their sequel. This was also the first major interpromotional match between AJW and JWP, so the fan heat was enormous as they were popping for everything. The first fall began hot with a stiff exchange between Yamada and Kansai, who were both flawless in this match. Kansai and Ozaki dominated Toyota for a few minutes. Aside from the brutal exchanges between Kansai and Yamada, there were just lots of hot moves at a quick pace along with smooth matwork. Toyota got dumped on again for a while. Kansai even did a tope suicida. Kansai and Ozaki gave Yamada a double diving headbutt for a great near fall. Kansai nearly killed Toyota with a lariat. After several near falls, Kansai pinned Toyota at 14:34 after a splash mountain to win the first fall. The second fall was all Toyota and Yamada. At one point Yamada gave Kansai about 6 or 7 consecutive back suplexes. Yamada gave Kansai her reverse Gory special suplex and pinned her to win the second fall in 1:45. The thrid fall was all action as expected, with great execution and fan heat. Toyota shined in this fall, dominating Ozaki with great spots and crisp matwork. Kansai and Yamada again wowed the crowd with their stiff exchanges. The action briefly spilled to the floor. Yamada was then dominated both in and out of the ring. Kansai was really fired up as she kicked the stuffing out of Yamada. More great spots and near falls back and forth. Kansai and Ozaki continued to dominate as the action again spilled out of the ring. Yamada made an inspired comeback on Kansai. Toyota and Yamada gave Ozaki a double flying headbutt for a great near fall. A dive sequence climaxed when Toyota hit her superquebrada onto both opponents. Both teams scored more near falls until Toyota German suplexed Ozaki and pinned her to win the third fall in 23:58 and the match. As amazing as Toyota and Ozaki were in their work, both Kansai and Yamada nearly stole the show as both might have had their best matches here. They were so fired up, their kicks were brutally stiff and their execution as strong as ever. Actually, all four were at the very top of their game, making for the best match I have ever seen. The fan heat was also unreal, comparable only to the very best All Japan classics. *****+++++
