AJPW 1/31/86

All Japan Pro Wrestling 1/31/86 Mighty Inoue and Tiger Mask vs Kunaki Kobayashi/ Fumihiko Niikhura Joined in progress. In fact we only see five minutes of highlights! Basically a Tiger Mask highlight reel. As we see he and Kobayashi do a multi drop down leap frog spot that is full of split second timing that ends with Tiger hitting a baseball slide dropkick to Kobayashi under the bottom rope on the outside. Match finish Inoue and Tiger hit matching dropkicks, Inoue keeps Kobayashi busy on the outside. While in the ring Tiger delivers a suplex and hits a diving front flip to a standing Niikhura for the pin!
     Match #2 A six-man tag Jumbo Tsuruta, Tenryu and Takashi Ishikawa vs Goro Tsurumi, Ashura Hara and The Great Kabuki A fair six man. The 1st huge momentum change in the bout was Tenryu taking a nice thrust kick from Kabuki. All three heels worked over Tenryu's wrist, it was heavily taped. It was bent in every direction possible(if it was not hurt before it may have been after!) Goto has a interesting hold he uses the old wrestling standby rest hold on the trapezius muscle in the shoulder, but he grinds is fingers in(makes it look more painful anyway.) Tenryu finally manages to make a tag to Ishikawa. He runs wild sumo slapping Hara to death(and manages to smack his partners asleep on the apron.) Until he tries to go up top and Hara cuts him off with a superplex followed by a lariat. Both Kabuki and Hara use Sleeper holds on Ishikawa, while Goto tries to get a submission using the afore mentioned nerve hold. Ishikawa gets a tag to Tsuruta(who has barley been in the match by this point) He runs wild hitting Hara with a Lariat, but the pin attempt gets broken up by Kabuki with a stomp to the head. Jumbo tags Tenyru and they do their best Funks imitation with the double punch. Ishikawa takes a tag and puts Goto in the Scorpion Death Lock. Kabuki comes in and breaks the hold with his trademark uppercut punches. Tsuruta and Tenryu run in grab Goto and Kabuki and throw them outside. Jumbo clobbers Hara with a chair Meanwhile, inside Ishikawa hits a back suplex for the pin! I have no idea what happened to lead up to the finish as in a rare mistake the camera crew missed it completely!( they were with Jumbo and Hara on the floor).  Authors note: There was also a tag bout between Choshu/Yatsu vs Windham/Rotundo but the clip was under 5 minutes and it was your standard double coutout screwjob finish and nothing of merit happened so I skipped it here!
