Summary

Making his third appearance on the Long & Winding Royal Road is Canada’s own, Daniel Makabe, who takes time out of his busy retirement tour to record with WH Park.

Daniel reviews yet another tag match for the show, this time one of the most famous in 90s AJPW canon featuring one of the best crowds of the era: May 25th, 1992’s Doug Furnas & Dan Kroffat vs Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi in Kikuchi’s hometown of Sendai.

The guys analyze the great match dynamics between the two teams as well as the crowd’s importance to the overall enjoyment of the match.

They also discuss Daniel’s upcoming final matches including his final Ontario match at Smash Wrestling’s June 30 show at The Rec Room in Toronto, which you can win tickets to by listening.
