I’ve mentioned before that Jushin “Thunder” Liger would have been an interesting addition to the WWF during the New Generation Era and here is some proof of my claim. Here, one of the brightest stars of the New Generation Era wrestles Keiichi Yamada, the man who would become Liger. The first two minutes of the match in particular are amazing as moves flow seamlessly into one another. Of course no one can keep up that kind of pace and the bout quickly slows down…but not for long.

Given how good this brief encounter is, one can only imagine what a rematch between these two would look like about 10 years later. I could picture Owen and Liger wrestling their hearts out for the WWF Intercontinental Championship while Diesel stunk up the main event.
