All Japan Pro Wrestling 7/14/1991 - Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi vs Rick Rude, Terry Gordy and Steve Williams

We get immediate clipping to start this after Rude takes his robe off and the announcer goes "mmm mmm mmm mm". Yeah, that was weird. Kikuchi nails the leg lariat on Williams and then gets ran over with a shoulderblock. Kikuchi takes a nasty Rude piledriver. Misawa flies on Rude and takes some good Gordy punches before Doc gets back in. Kawada and Misawa double kick Williams. Doc then goes out on a Kawada spinkick. Doc chairs Kikuchi right in front of Ref Higuchi and nothing happens. Gordy hits some nice corner lariats on Kawada. Gordy puts an STF on Kawada, which Kikuchi breaks up. Rude works the bearhug on Kawada until he gets hiptoosed, but he then blocks the tag. Doc and Gordy clothesline Kawada. Kawada gets worked over and keeps getting his tag interrupted. Rude and Kawada bang heads and Gordy nails Misawa before he can get tagged in. They totally miss Kikuchi tagging in, but they catch a nice Kikuchi german on Rude. Rude DDT's Kikuchi, but Misawa saves the pin. Misawa gets the hot tag in and makes Doc fly with a tiger driver. Everyone gets in after Misawa hits a tiger driver on Gordy. Gordy then hits Misawa with a powerbomb for a close 2. Gordy then hits an elbow and wins it with a powerbomb. The match wasn't that great. It needed a lot more time. Nothing was particularly wrong or even bad but the Kawada hot tag was missed and botched, and that's a problem since it was a big focus of the match.
