Kenta Kobashi defeated Toshiaki Kawada. 34:12 with the Orange Crush Pin Good start-up for these two men. Kobashi was his usual self, almost finishing Kawada with the Moonsault. Kobashi kicked out of a Powerbomb with slide at 25:19. He reversed a suplex into the Orange Crush for the victory. The two shook hands after the match, while the fans cheered in the background/ OR: 86%
Main Event: Mitsuharu Misawa defeated Akira Taue in a non-title match. 15:00 with via countout. Pretty good main event.

Misawa hit a Tiger Driver 91 at the 17 count, and rolled back inside to pick up the victory. Taue slapped Misawa post-match, much to the fan's disliking. OR 82%

AJPW Wrestling Presents: First Flight 1994! Opening Contest: Steve Williams defeated Davey Boy Smith. 12:18 with the Doctor Bomb Great heavyweight match that I was impressed with. Davey showed the agility of a champion, and he powered over Williams in some cases. Williams escaped every Oaklahoma Stampede Davey attemped. The final one would be countered into the doctor bomb. Great match. OR: 81% PWF Jr. Heavyweight Tag Titles: Jyushin Lyger/The Kid vs. Dynamite Kid/Rob Van Dam went to a 30 minute time limit draw. Incredible match to follow up Davey Boy/Dr. Death, as Dynamite was featured here. They kept every one of us on our feet for every last second. Kid was easily MVP of the match, hitting suicide dive after moonsault after other incredible moves. Lyger was also spot-off, having all 3 Lygerbombs reversed. Van Dam had the crowd's admiration after he missed his Frog Splash, causing an internal injury. Overall, this was one hell of a follow up. OR: 96% Winner fights Misawa in the Main Event: Kenta Kobashi defeated Akira Taue. 43:12 with the Orange Crush. Wow. Match of the year is what this was. They started off trading punches and chops. Kobashi suplexed Taue to the outside, which made us think Taue was injured. They went into the narrow first row of the crowd. The match had nearly 5 different countouts, which got us on our feet. Kobashi bodyslamed Taue, and missed a moonsault. Kobashi kicked out of a Taue Chokeslam, to our surprise. Kobashi got up and hit the Orange Crush for the win. OR: 97% Grudge Match: Yoshinari Ogawa defeated Jun Akiyama. 4:12 via countout. This match never really took off, as Akiyama was counted out. This is a result of Ogawa taking it to the outside in the opening minutes, attacking Akiyama with a chair, and a table. Ogawa rolled in on 19 to secure a win. OR: 76% #1 Contendership at the Triple Crown Title: Kawada defeated Hansen via forfeit. The ring announcer announced Stan Hansen is injured and unable to attend the event. PWF Tag Team Titles: Vader/Giant Kimala defeated Sting/Masahiro Chono. 24:01 with the Vaderbomb. Kinda long for Vader/Kimala, but still a fun match to watch. Sting's facepaint was ripped off in the early going, and he started to bleed shortly thereafter. Chono got in no offense while he was in, he was moreless Vader's bitch. Vader missed a Moonsault on Sting, but hit a Vaderbomb for the win. OR: 74% Triple Crown Championship 90 Minute Time Limit Kobashi Kenta defeated Misawa Mitsuharu. 84:12 with the Orange Crush Kobashi puts on two godly shows in one night. Nearly going the 90 minute time limit, these two took the fight everywhere. The floor, the crowd, onto the Tokyo Dome rampway, EVERYWHERE. Kobashi was a victim of a Tiger Driver '91 early on, but kicked out. Kobashi put Misawa through a Lariat that would make most men turn away, but nonetheless, Misawa kicked out. Misawa attempted a rolling elbow, but was caught and given an Orange Crush. A 3 count followed and we had a new Champion. Kobashi Kenta. OR: 99%! Show Overall: 82% Next TV Card:Misawa Mitsuharu vs. Kawada Toshiaki Kobashi Kenta/Chono Masahiro vs. Vader/Giant Kimala

AJPW PPV 2 Results! Chono Masahiro defeated Akiyama Jun. 21:02 with the STF Chono and Akiyama put on one hell of an opener than excited. Akiyama hit an exploder on the guardrail, and Chono's back had some swelling on it mid-match. Chono hit the Yakuza Kick on Akiyama that was moreorless a receipt for the Exploder. Chono locked in a Cross STF for the victory. OR: 89% PWF Jr. Heavyweight Championship 6 Man Survival: Eddy Guerrero defeated Jyushin Lyger, Wild Pegasus, Dean Malenko, El Samurai, and the Kid. 64:12 with the Frog Splash A match that all the potential in the world, soiled. These guys started off hot, but they cooled down, and then the match dragged from there. Kid injured himself, thus being the first eliminated by a Texas Cloverleaf. Samurai shortly thereafter via a Wild Bomb. Malenko went next thanks to a Lygerbomb. Pegasus was eliminated by a Frog Splash. Guerrero and Lyger went for about 21 more minutes until the Frog Splash was hit on Lyger and Guerrero was declared the victor. OR: 72% PWF Tag Team Championship: Vader and Giant Kimala defeated Misawa Mitsuharu and Kawada Toshiaki. 10:53 with the Vaderbomb Misawa just can't win since his devastating loss of the Triple Crown to Kobashi. Kawada carried the team most of the match, taking the worst Kimala and Vader could throw at him, including 2 Ugandan Splashes. Misawa walked out of the match, to the fans disliking, leaving Kawada stranded for a Vaderbomb. OR: 77% Ogawa Yoshinari and Power Warrior vs Tenryu Genichiro and Davey Boy Smith was a draw. 6:12 via Double DQ. This match showed the absolute hatred between all 4 men, as the match never started, as all four were in the ring from the get-go. Power Warrior and Davey started to work more stiffly with each passing punch and chop. Ogawa and Tenryu's battle intesified, as they started throwing tables and chairs at each other. The ref ruled it a double DQ and all 4 men were escorted out. OR: 76% Rob Van Dam defeated Dynamite Kid. 45:00 with the Frog Splash This was an incredible match that livened this place up like crazy. These two traded chops and kicks, and there was a lot of high flying, which is to be expected from these two. RVD missed a swanton plancha, and Dynamite hit a diving headbutt, which was a great spot in all. Van Dam wheel-kicked him and hit the Frog Splash for the win. OR: 94% Shinya Hashimoto defeated Gary Albright. 11:20 with the Vertical DDT. Great heavyweight match between these two. They traded stiff clubs and chops.

OR: 85% Triple Crown Championship: Kobashi Kenta defeated Taue Akira. 75:10 with the Orange Crush Another great matchup from these two, scaling a half hour more than their last PPV match. Taue tried to kill Kobashi, but Kobashi wasn't gonna stand for it, retaliating with brutal chops that would make any man look away. Taue hit a Chokeslam, but Kobashi stood up immediately, and delivered a Powerbomb Pin. Taue kicked out and chopped Kobashi silly. Kobashi retaliated with the first of 3 orange crushes, but Taue kicked out before a 1 count. The second one was a 1 count. Taue chokeslammed Kobashi and Kobashi kicked out, and delivered the final Orange Crush of the match. OR: 96%

Misawa Mitsuharu defeated Kobashi Kenta. 50:01 with the Tiger Driver '91. Another one-match episode, but what a match it was. This is almost comparable to the match where Kobashi won the title, both in time and enjoyability. They did brawl periodically throughout the arena, where Kobashi was busted open by being dropped face-first onto a table. Kobashi fought back, hitting the Orange Crush for a 2 count. Misawa responded with a Tiger Driver '91 for the vicgtory. OR: 88%

AJPW TV Episode 7 Results:
Giant Baba defeated Yoshinari Ogawa. 10:42 with the Chop Baba, bless his soul, put on a decent match with Ogawa. Ogawa dragged along, as he was unsure about how to work with the massive man. Baba carried him through a David vs. Goliath battle for 10 Minutes before finishing him off.
OR: 67%
Kobashi Kenta defeated Taue Akira. 20:16 with the Orange Crush Since it wasn't as long as their previous two, we were expecting so much more. It was good for a TV shoot match, with less brawling and brutal spots. Taue's Chokeslam got countered into the Orange Crush to chalk up a victory for Kobashi.
OR: 79%
Misawa Mitsuharu defeated Stan Hansen. 25:16 with the Tiger Driver. Good main event between these two. Hansen was his usual brick wall self, with some no-selling going on, but Misawa pulled him through into a great match. There were two key spots in this match. The first being a tope atomico where Misawa missed Hansen and bashed his head on the barricade. Another is the Lariat, where Misawa landed on his forehead. He prevailed in the end, hitting the Tiger Driver for the win. Kawada came out post-match and offered a challenge for out next PPV, and it is accepted.

AJPW PPV 3 Results!: Tenryu Genichiro defeated Stan Hansen. 15:16 with the Powerbomb Great start-off match, and I believe this is also Hansen's first PPV match. Tenryu lead off with heavy strikes, and Hansen retaliated with his brand of hard-hitting offense. HAnsen missed the Western Lariat and fell from the ring. Tenryu hit him with a table. He then rolled Hansen in and hit the Powerbomb for the win. OR: 76% PWF Tag Team Titles 30 Minute Time Limit: Chono Masahiro and Akiyama Jun defeated Vader and Giant Kimala. 18:12 with the STF to Vader This unstoppable team met its match tonight, as Akiyama and Chono took everything the big guys had, and dished it right back to them. Akiyama and Kimala were brawling when Chono locked in the STF for the win. OR: 71% Steve Williams defeated Hashimoto Shinya. 4:12 by Knockout This match was neither fun or enjoyable. Williams hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb to KO Hashimoto. OR: 35% PWF Jr. Heavyweight Title 30 Minute Time Limit: Time Limit Draw: Eddy Guerrero vs. Jyushin Lyger This was a great match between the two. Guerrero and Lyger both started off hot and got the fans going. Lyger hit 2 Tope Atomicos early on, and Guerrero seemed to be the higher one on the matwork, almost taking Lyger through the match. Lyger hit the Lygerbomb with 6 seconds remaining, and Guerrero kicked out, the fans gave an ovation for the wrestlers. OR: 96% Triple Crown Championship 60 Minute Time Limit: Kobashi Kenta(C) defeated Ogawa Yoshinari. 32:00 with the Orange Crush. A good pre-main event warmup match between these two. Ogawa played the perfect heel challenger, playing to the crowd and using dirty tactics and weapons. Kobashi came off as the supreme face of the company, which put the crowd 110% behind him. Ogawa's Figure 4 pin almost won the match, but to his surprise, Kobashi kicked out. Kobashi made a fighting comeback, and hit the Orange Crush for the victory. OR: 88% 90 Minute Time Limit Grudge Match Misawa Mitsuharu defeated Kawada Toshiaki. 67:10 with the Emrald Frowsion A great main event from these two. Just like the previous match, Misawa fed off of crowd heat from our previous PPV when he turned on Kawada. Kawada stated off with chops, and Misawa responded in kind with stiff elbows. Around the 4 minute mark, you could see some swelling on the face of Kawada. They proceeded to work the crowd with the back-and-forth momentum and several finishers hit along the way. Misawa hit the Frowsion for the clean win. A handshake occured to show the mutual respect between the two gladiators. OR: 94%
