KINGDOM BIRTH TOUR - 12/2 & 12/8/97 (Fantastic comm. tape covering a pair of shows from late in
the life of Kingdom.)
KAZUSHI SAKURABA VS HIROMITSU KANEHARA, 12/2/97 (I forget where, either on his radio show or
on the Wrestling Classics message board, but somewhere Dave Meltzer was asked what the
stiffest match he'd ever seen was. This match was the one he said - and he's right.
There's an exchange in the middle that's just full-on boxing, really, really stiff.
Sakuraba takes an incredible kick to the kick head as well. And, oh yeah, it's a
fantastic match as well. Great stuff.)
Kazushi Sakuraba vs Hiromitsu Kanehara, 12/8/97 (The rematch! This one is also well on its
way to being as stiff and great as the previous match when Sakuraba gets KO'ed in a way
that looks like it might just be legit. Too bad!)
