hmm wow this is a toughy since its 15 mins or less.

One match to get fans introduced to old school wrestling.

here's the 1992 match of the year in a edited for tv format. the original match youtube video goes 30 minutes including intros.

one of the greatest tag team matches ever. the fans are so wild and go nuts here as Kenta Kobashi and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi win the All Asian Tag Team belts.

Their opponents and former champions are Can Am Express (Doug Furnas & Phil Lafon)

Furnas and Lafon are fucking great as are Kobashi and Kikuchi here.



here's your real old school video now.

I just have to share the All Japan match though for people who want to learn more or be introduced to Japanese wrestling.

Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard from Starrcade '85
I Quit Steel Cage Match

Magnum was huge in the Mid Atlantic territory prior to the car accident that ended his in ring career. He and Dusty Rhodes were the two top babyfaces in 1985 feuding with the 4 Horsemen.

Tully could get awesome amounts of heat. He and the Horsemen were so hated by the fans.

These guys though truly did live the life of what they were talking about on tv.

Tully and Magnum had been feuding for many months before Starrcade.

Many people including myself consider this to be one of the greatest matches ever.
