Here it is

Toshiaki Kawada Vs Mitsuharu Misawa in AJPW for the Triple Crown, this is near the epitome of Kings Road style.

I could make the case that Misawa's encounter with Kobashi from January of '97 tops this match as Misawa's best effort, but you did say "arguably" and I won't begrudge that. This is a fucking sensational match that holds up over many many years of re-watching.

Misawa/Kobashi vs Kawada/Taue from the mid 90s has got to be ranked up there.

But any combination of Misawa/Kawada/Kobashi...you cant go wrong in thinking its the greatest match of all time.

Whichever particular match between Misawa/Kobashi vs. Holy Demon Army that you would call your favorite should be what you consider the best tag match of the 90s.

Since my favorite happens to be celebrating its 20th anniversary in less than a week, it would make a fine addition to this thread:

Great match. Greatest of all time? Doubtfully.

There is a reason I said Arguably. Its in the top 10 of all time somewhere. And that Top 10 all have valid claims to being the best of all time.

True. But to be fair I probably couldn't name a top 10 best matches of all time. Well, I probably could, but it would take a while and i'm biased.

As an aside, arguably the greatest Tag Match of all time happened 20 years ago
