Quality: EX (1st Gen Convert)

Length: 3.5 hrs (2 DVD)

NEW JAPAN VS UWFI TOKYO DOME - 1/4/96 (FANTASTIC SHOW!  Several terrific matches on here,
 	highlighted by the incredible Vader/Inoki match and the historic Takada/Mutoh match.  I've got
 	a 1st gen convert, so quality is EX.)

	Hiromitsu Kanehara, Kazushi Sakuraba, & Kenichi Yamamoto vs Shinjiro Ohtani, Tokimitsu
	 	Ishizawa, & Yuji Nagata
	Jushin Liger vs Koji Kanemoto (***1/2 - Liger wins the IWGP jr title in a spotty match that
	 	still manages to be fun)
	Yoji Anjoh vs Hiromichi Fuyuki (This match is a disgrace.  Anjoh basically gets triple-teamed
 		the whole match, in front of the ref who does nothing, and then Fuyuki wraps Anjoh's whole
 		head with duct tape.  Yuck.)
	Masahito Kakihara vs Riki Choshu (This would be the "I'm not going to allow Kakihara to even
 		sniff the possibility of looking decent" match)
	Nobuhiko Takada vs Keiji Mutoh (***1/2 - It's a shame that Mutoh didn't feel like working hard
 		in this or their other match.  There's no question both should've been ****1/2 classics. 
 		Takada wins IWGP heavyweight title)
	Hiroshi Tenzan vs Satoshi Kojima
	Masa Chono vs Shiro Koshinaka
	Shinnya Hashimoto vs Kazuo Yamazaki (Good match!)
	Hiro Hase vs Kensuke Sasaki
	VADER VS ANTONIO INOKI (GREAT match!  Vader opens up a jumbo-sized can on Inoki and just beats
 		the snot out of him, including maybe the greatest German Suplex ever.  Give Inoki credit -
 		he takes an incredible beating here.)
