Toba vs. Shinjuku Shark (WEW 5/3/2003) - GREAT
Man, Shark is pure scum. The opening minutes of this were pretty fun as Toba has the superior striking arsenal, so Shark would use pro wrestling moves, such as a dropkick and even a Capture Suplex. The second half was another Rocky style punchout though with some sick punches and counterpunches. Toba looks great dishing it out here including an awesome leaping knee to Sharks face. 7 minutes well invested.

Toba vs. Shinjuku Shark, XWF 9/8/2008 - EPIC
This was the best match I’ve seen between the two so far. Shark seemed to be doing better than usual early on, moving through Tobas kick advantage, until Toba started kicking the hell out of his leg. Shark went down and it seemed he was done, but Toba gave him another dickish kick, prompting Shark to dig deep and go all out. Shark ended up catching Tobas kicks and hitting some dragon screws and even a Capture Suplex, which Toba sold great with his usual ragdoll bumping. Finishing run had both guys unloading with punches to the face and several great near Kos. Best boxing gloves only match I’ve seen so far.
Tanomusaku Toba & Yasu Urano vs. Hikaru Sato & Tomomitsu Matsunaga, DDT 2/10/2009 – GREAT
A good example of what makes Toba such a valuable worker. I’m not sure Matsunaga has ever been in an outstanding match, but put him against Toba, and suddenly you get this random fatboy undercarder to do some cool uncooperative wrestling and throwing potatoes. Matsunaga matching up with Urano was ok, but you can tell Toba gets the most out of guys like these. Sato looked about 5000 times better here than during his AJPW run. He was working hard, mixing in cool grappling and meshing well in this pro style environment. His interactions with Toba were great once again. These two guys handily made this match worth watching. Toba was Toba, and again busted out his nasty elbow to the throat at one point.
