Hello everyone and welcome to the long and winding railroad. My name is WH Park and this

is episode 25 of the LNWRR, the show that looks back at 1990s all Japan pro wrestling. In my humble

estimation, the greatest period of in-ring action ever to exist in the history of professional

wrestling. And today we're going to look at a very special match between two of the most important
