April 18, 201411 yr comment_5599839 This match is TIMELESS! I hope nobody sleeps on it because it's neither bold nor italic. It's a gem. Yoshie puts in the mother of all never say die performances, and Nagata goes about his business like a relentless serial killer. Yoshie does some of the best weeble-wobble selling down the stretch, Yokozuna would have been proud.
September 4, 201411 yr comment_5622748 I'm not a Nagata fan but I like Yoshie and these two typically have a pretty good match against each other. I think they had better matches in other G-1's, especially as Yoshie improved but this one is still solid.
September 1, 20169 yr comment_5766279 I thought this match was badass. The transation from Nagata dismantling Yoshie to Nagata fighting for his life was great. Yoshie was pretty outmatched in the beginning, but as soon as he got to bring out his arsenal of fat boy attacks thanks to his open hand punch he was just wasting Nagata. At times it looked like he was just short of crippling Nagata. Nagata's one shot comeback ability is cool too and the last few minutes are full of kick to the face goodness while Yoshie is ready to die on his feet. Just good old japanese wrestling goodness.
