WAR
1996/10/11
Great
Muta vs. Genichiro Tenryu
Tenryu
throws the ceremonial flowers at Muta and makes it clear this is going to be
his grumpiest edition yet. And it really needs to be, because Muta is a
different kind of foe, totally dangerous, violent and unpredictable. What a
magnificent and spectacular dance of death this match was! Muta stalls for
awhile before tricking and busting Tenryu wide open with a broken beer bottle
glass, Tenryu’s face is soaked in his own blood but his face also says “man,
this is gonna hurt you more than me, Muta, just wait and see”. Shit man, Muta
was causing havoc right, left and centre, he was a true demon of mayhem here
with all the maliciousness, zero-fucks-given cheating and brutal displays of
violence. You got the unsettling sense of Tenryu facing something completely
unknown to him and WAR, a new and frightening kind of monster. Owning Tenryu on
his own turf is a remarkable achievement, so you can imagine Muta’s incredible
efforts. Sick fuck 101. Tenryu’s eventual comeback was epic, stiff punches were
thrown back-and-forth, weapons were used, the entire thing was just one violent
spectacle. Finishing stretch was such a sweet little candy, it was relatively
short yet so fucking dramatic, watching these two soldiers trying to outdick
each other was beautiful.
