TAPE 960
Quality: EX (*MASTER*)
Length: 3.9 hrs (2 DVD)
NOAH - 12/2/07 (Historic show that sees Kenta Kobashi return from an over-one-year absence due
to cancer. There's nothing really spectacular here, just a solid show with a must-see main
event. I've got a master so quality is EX.)

Takeshi Morishima vs Naomichi Marafuji
Kenta Kobashi & Yoshihiro Takayama vs Mitsuharu Misawa & Jun Akiyama (Kobashi's return from
cancer after more than a year off. This is an emotionally-charged event - so much so
that Tamon Honda cries on commentary. The match itself is good but not great. Kobashi
appears to be in good shape but has lost a ton of mobility and spends much of the match
just throwing chops. Still, he's the best worker in the match and drags something good
out of the other three. This is a must-see but for the atmosphere not the match. For
some odd reason, they show the match twice...)
