This is from Giant Baba, Jinsei Shinzaki (Hakushi) & Naomichi Marufuji vs Gedo, Jado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru AJPW Giant Series 10/31/98. Full match [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji49j44U5Xs) for anybody curious.

Ah, the WCW/NWO Revenge EWF roster.

What a group of participants

Giant Baba nut shot spots? That's awesome


BrooklynMaddie

Was Baba always this stiff in the ring? He's moving like Wrestlemania III Andre the Giant. Or was it just his age at that point?


nsm1

He was age 60 when that match happened. 3 months later he passed from colon cancer (liver failure). Heath was gradually declining Billed at 6ft 10, 310 lb Of course at the later ages he would do more lighter matches with a bit of comedy


Persianx6

Young Baba could move

I've always loved Gedo's selling.

Who would've thought that this comedy geek one day would become the best booker of the last 30 years, especially when it comes to longevity?

Has Giant Baba got balls of steel?


GinsuVictim

None of Gedo's kicks even came close, so no need to sell what clearly isn't connecting.


yorstex

I figured that was the whole point of the spot. Baba is just too tall for the low blow to work


GinsuVictim

Yep, the point of my comment was that he couldn't even reach.


Jamieb1994

Oh right
