NJPW

This is the finals of the 1996 Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Supposing you’re anything like me, there’s a temptation to load this match with the grandeur due to such an occasion — it’s Liger vs. Guerrero in 1996 during the heyday of the BOSJ — but if you find yourself wondering about the state of things in 1996, the glamour and prestige afforded to occasions like this, just know that days later WCW ran a three minute Guerrero/Liger match as the opener on an episode of WCW {Pro}, no fucks given.
