- Tsuyoshi Kikuchi/Yoshinari Ogawa vs. Jun Izumida/Yoshinobu Kanemaru [JIP]

All Japan Pro Wrestling New Year Giant Series 1997 Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium Look at that thumbnail. My God, All Japan really was the strongest. I like to think that with the previous AJPW Hour the people at NTV were so intoxicated with the extra time they were all like ’’you know what. fuck it. put everything on there. put the goddamn opener on there too’’ and now that they’ve come off the initial high they’re getting a bit more modest by starting at the second match, already in progress. Ah, the joys of editing.
