Smile. Win. Yay!

Hopping on J-ru's thoughts on Kawada vs Misawa i'd like to recommend one that's maybe not as good as their prime, but still told a great story, NOAH's Destiny 2005.

This was Kawada's first match in NOAH, and the first match between the two since Misawa left All Japan in 2000. It even main evented over Rikio defending the GHC against a young Tanahashi.

In term's of Kawada's prime during the nineties, you can't go wrong with Misawa/Kobashi vs Holy Demon Army from 6/9/95, if only for Kawada and Taue relentlessly attacking Kobashi's injured leg to the point where he's laying on Misawa to protect him because Kobashi can't stand to defend himself.

Kawada also had a couple of entertaining 5 minute sprints with Kaz Fujita and Katsuyori Shibata during New Japan's darker times. They're both easy to find on Youtube and well worth a watch.
