The finish

This is a handheld recording and the quality is not good at all.

Kobashi and Kikuchi mat wrestle to start. Kikuchi slaps him and hits hard corner forearms. Kobashi gets thrown into the corner and comes out with kicks? Oh yes.

Kawada and Misawa get in and Misawa gets spin kicked. They trade shots and Kawada takes a hard spinning high kick. Kikuchi hits Kawada with forearms and gets left and right high kicked. Kobashi then back body drops Kikuchi and leg drops him. Kikuchi bounces off Kobashi with a forearm.

They work each others legs on the mat. Kobashi hits more rare kicks on Kikuchi. Kikuchi tries to hit some forearms on Kawada but gets a spinning back elbow. Kikuchi dropkicks Kobashi and gets Misawa in, who crossbodies Kobashi.

Misawa hits a nice top rope dropkick then does a plancha where he looks like he is about to do a header. Kikuchi forearms Kobashi then starts slapping him. Kikuchi takes kicks from Kobashi and Kawada then comes back with a snap suplex on Kawada. Both of them are down and Kawada kicks Kikuchi in the head.

Kobashi gets in and gorilla presses Kikuchi over the top, then Kawada does it to him on a table. Kikuchi gets back in and put in a boston crab. Misawa breaks it then Kawada puts it back on Kikuchi. More punishment for Kikuchi including a sharpshooter and a perfectplex.

Misawa gets the hot tag in and beats up both opponents. Misawa and Kawada have a nice exchange and Kobashi gets in after a Kawada spin kick. Kikuchi takes a big lariat from Kobashi then gets an unusual running powerbomb for 2. Kikuchi takes a nasty backdrop and a big lariat.

Kobashi hits some kicks and a nice powerslam on Kikuchi. He goes for a moonsault and gets blocked then super electric chair dropped. Misawa cleans house and takes a hard spin kick from Kawada that he doesn't sell. Kikuchi top rope clotheslines Kawada for 2. He dropkicks him for a 2 count then gets folding powerbombed for the Kawada/Kobashi win.

This was a great match with Kikuchi as usual taking a horrible beating. It's no wonder why this guys brains were eventually scrambled with all the whoopings he took. Kikuchi as usual was a great face here and Kobashi and Kawada were good at beating him up. I think I would have shaved a few minutes off of this, got Misawa in more and built up a little more to the finish. I think All Japan fans should really go see this.
