Nakano/Tenryu

WAR 1996/5/26

Tatsuo Nakano vs. Genichiro Tenryu

Fantastic five minute match and such a pleasure watching Tenryu in a shoot style environment. Nakano is a proven standout of his genre and Tenryu takes him very seriously, charges at him right away with fast palm strikes, but Nakano is too fast and strikes mercilessly, and before you know it – Tenryu’s on the floor. The chubby Nakano is very tough and danger level is now very high for Tenryu as he gets suplexed, armbared and kicked around silly. But then he decides he’s had enough of it and just blasts Nakano with hard slaps and palm strikes, and then with the game ending half crab. Boom! That’s it. Glorious little gem right there.
