Bryan/Thatcher was good grapplefucking but it lacked the smoothness and snappiness of a ZSJ match and was also probably hurt by the crowd not being familiar with Thatcher

Although I go by the recs in this thread to determine what I'm going to put up in my weekly playlists, I almost never post because I figure "eh, enough people will vote for the right stuff." But so few people watch AJPW despite the links and timecodes being provided that I'll 3rd or whatever it is this one for MOTYC. Between AAA, AEW, Dragon Gate, New Japan etc. there's no shortage of junior heavyweight style tag matches (even in the non-junior divisions). This one feels like a heavyweight style tag match in keeping with the 80s-90s AJPW stuff I was collecting tapes of way back when. By the time December comes around, this is something I'd want to remember and recommend people go back and see years from now.

Also worth noting: the recap package before the match is set to the second G Gundam opening theme song "Trust You Forever" because AJPW likes to randomly use old anime theme songs for stuff which is a practice that rules.

I'm of the opinion that more people should watch at least the big All Japan matches, because despite having a fairly weak undercard (the rookies excepted, they rock) the main events consistently deliver. Watch the tag title match and if you enjoyed Miyaken to Takuya as a team you might also enjoy the match three weeks earlier where Takuya challenged Kento for the Triple Crown

A Kento match but with Nomura bringing that bit of piss & vinegar that forces Kento to wrestle snugger himself, laying in those blackout knees. I'm firmly in "love the Kento formula" territory, & this elevated it. Nomura is such a great no-nonsense wrestler. Absolutely watch this here, it rules
