Jinsei Shinzaki, Super Delfin & Gran Naniwa vs. Great Sasuke, Sato & Shiryu (Michinoku Pro, 2/4/94)

I adore Super Delfin in the 1990's with his awesome 90's get-up and he was a definite highlight of this six-man tag. As for the match itself, it was a total blast, with good comedy, creativity, pacing, and placement of spots. You had Delfin and baby Dick Togo snapping off arm drags and hitting all the highs of that crisp mid-1990's junior chain rasslin'. The veteran no-nonsense Shinzaki beating the crap out of Sasuke, walking the ropes, and of course, Sasuke being an ass, jaw-jacking with the referee. And while Naniwa isn't the best wrestler, he provides probably the biggest laugh of the match when Delfin inadvertently gives him an arm wringer on the ropes, and Naniwa storms off...only to be brought back after a convincing kiss on the lips from an apologetic Delfin. Incredible. With six-mans, there's always a bit of slop and disorder but I really liked the continuous build to the dives, which culminates in everyone taking to the skies. F_U_N_FUN!

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Hayato "Jr." Fujita (Michinoku Pro, 12/17/06)

Is there nothing more satisfying than watching Hayato "Jr." Fujita get his ass beat? Maybe not. In continuing down the post-New Japan Shibata road, one of his last stops before heading off to MMA land is Michinoku Pro, home to resident shooty punk Fujita. I thought this was fun for what it was, with Shibata quickly taking control of the situation after Fujita tries to rush him before the bell with kicks. Shibata stiffs him with his own kicks and slaps, suplexes him a couple of times onto the hardwood floor and even encourages Fujita to try and bring some fire before shutting him down. Fujita's comeback was actually my favorite part of the match, as he kept right on top of Shibata, transitioning from move to move in accordance with Shibata's actions. When Shibata struggles against a sleeper, Fujita German suplexes him and eventually goes back to the sleeper. When Shibata gets too close to the ropes, Fujita backdrops him on his head and applies a hanging front necklock. Again, Shibata fights it off so Fujita DDTs him and re-applies it on the ground. Fun stuff. Alas, Fujita's hope spots run out as he eats a big slap and a running knee from Shibata to set up the PK. But Shibata's not ready to end Fujita's punishment. He spikes him with a Pedigree, holding on for a brutal powerbomb follow-up before locking on a crab hold for the quick submission win. Well worth the 10 minutes.
