WAR
1993/12/15
Tatsumi
Fujinami vs. Genichiro Tenryu
The
greatest New Japan wrestler ever versus the greatest wrestler ever, fuck yes,
this has to be good despite the relatively short length (11 min). It’s clear
from the start this is going to be a battle of different philosophies, Fujinami
applies a nasty side headlock, Tenryu is not into that shit and answers with dickish
kicks from every position available, Fujinami regains control with a figure
four leglock, Tenryu reaches the ropes. Fujinami goes after Tenryu’s left leg
but Tenryu answers with another round of rough smacks. Poor Fujinami. We get
some smashing back-and-forth action with strikes being thrown all around,
Tenryu finally realizes Fujinami’s back are taped and goes after it, however Fujinami
is still relentless with the leg thing and applies a sharpshooter. Fujinami is
in control now and kicks Tenryu’s head, the Tenryu style. But the grumpy
motherfucker finds new ways to stay alive and we’re in the closing stretch now,
the fans realize it, Fujinami tries to lure Tenryu into his mat games but
Tenryu answers with a DDT and hits his powerbomb for 1-2-3.
Man,
if only this was longer, maybe 4-5 more minutes.
****1/2
