TAPE 540

Quality: EX (Master Convert)

Length: 4 hrs (2 DVD)

NOAH - 3/1/03 (This is actually a two-tape set of the biggest show in NOAH history.  The
 	highlight, of course, is the incredible Misawa/Kobashi match for the GHC title.  But
	that's not the only good match on the card, there's plenty of good action to be 
	found here.  I've got the TV version of the show, broadcast in 2-hour chunks on 
	different days.  All matches, with one exception,  are complete.  I've got a master convert of
 	the show, so VQ is EX!)

	Rusher Kimura & Mitsuo Momota vs Haruka Eigen & Kishin Kawabata
	Akira Taue, Mike Modest & Donovan Morgan vs Takuma Sano, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & 
		Kotaro Suzuki
	Naomichi Marafuji & KENTA vs Yoshinobu Kanemaru & Makoto Hashi (Excellent 
		match!  ***1/2!)
	Takeshi Morishima, Takeshi Rikio, & Daisuke Ikeda vs Bison Smith, Superstar Steve & IZU
	Too Cold Scorpio vs Yoshinari Ogawa (Gotta love seeing former GHC champ Ogawa getting
		squashed in 6 minutes!)
	Yoshihiro Takayama vs Masao Inoue
	Jun Akiyama & Akitoshi Saito vs Tamon Honda & Takashi Sugiura
	KENTA KOBASHI VS MITSUHARU MISAWA, 6/11/99 (Yes, that's right - the *FULL* 43-minute classic
 		from 1999 was rebroadcast on this show!  This is simply an incredible match that's one of
 		the best I've ever seen.  Amazing, amazing stuff.  *****!)
	KENTA KOBASHI VS MITSUHARU MISAWA, 4/11/00 (Finish only - from the Champion's Carnival
		Kobashi's only previous win over Misawa available on tape.)
	KENTA KOBASHI VS MITSUHARU MISAWA (Oh yeah, this is the big one!  What an awesome match!  They
 		roll out all the big spots, including an unbelievable backdrop driver early in the match. 
 		Misawa takes a SICK bump on the guardrail - with a very audible smack - that busts open his
 		mouth but somehow not breaking his jaw.  But the topper is one of the craziest bumps of all
 		time - Misawa hits a Tiger Suplex on Kobashi from the ramp to the floor!  Just an insane
 		spot that is a total must-see.  Kobashi wins the GHC title in this ****1/2, maybe even
 		****3/4 classic.)
