Doesn't look like a shoot to me, though. Looks like just a regular match, then all of a sudden Sayama fakes being kicked in the groin. Totally weird.)

Akira Maeda vs. Yoji Anjoh 8/13/90 Akira Maeda vs. Nobuhiko Takada 9/13/90 (WTF? Who books a 10 minute Maeda/Takada match? This should go 20 at least!) Akira Maeda vs. Masa Funaki 10/25/90 |
