Masato Yakushiji

I have a lot of positive things to say about Jinsei Shinzaki in this episode, but not for this match.

We move on to Kaintai Deluxe, Diktogo, Menseiho, and Takamichi Onoku going up against Sekigun, Gran Hamada, Masato Yakushiji, and Super Delphin.

And this one, still kind of a little bit clipped, but not as much as the first match.

We get a bit more of here, and...

On a show that a lot of wacky stuff kind of happens, it's nice to have at least a traditional KDX versus Psyche Gun match here.

The finish is the Miracle X Z-Bomb from Minstayo onto Masato Yakushiji.

I really liked what we have of this.

It's a 12-minute match.

Yes.

It is, uh, Kaientai Deluxe, Taka Michinoku, Terry Boy, and Dick Togo versus, uh, Gran Hamada, the aforementioned, uh, The Great Sasuke, and Masato Yakushiji.

That is a very good match-

Mm

You've got T2P hitting.

And I think that, that to me is the interesting thing, is that the difference between Torimon and whether it be Michinoku, or whether it be Universal Lucha Libre, or whether it be Osaka Pro or Dragon Door or El Dorado or whatever it may be, is that Torimon figured out how to restock the pond in a way that, you know, now we're here in 1996, at the end of '96, and Mike, I mean, the new additions of the roster, the differences between December of '93 and December of '96, it is absolutely the emergence of Masato Yakushiji, which I don't even get the impression was an intentional thing.

I just think Yakushiji was so good that they sort of forced their hand.

It's-

Togo has special-

Right

... chemistry with Masato Yakushiji.

Togo has special chemistry with Hamada here.
