Posted May 25, 20169 yr comment_5754665 Ricky Fuyuki vs. El Rebelde This is from 1987 and not sure who Rebelde is but he starts out strong on Fuyuki taking the offense to him. Fuyuki though again showing really good fire makes a comeback and takes control hitting a big lariat but Rebelde keeps coming at him and this is a real back and forth battle. Rebelde does nothing dynamic but everything is effective and Fuyuki sells enough to make it that way. What was odd though was they went to meaningless matwork really late in the match. Fuyuki would hit a spin kick out of nowhere on Rebelde after being in trouble to win the match. This match is really interesting because of who is in it and how it was worked. I'm throwing this on the block to see what others think of it.

This is short lived as Rebelde regains control. Fuyukicatches Rebelde on the top turnbuckle to turn the tide again. I like how Rebelde keeps grabbing that head/chin lcok every time Fuyuki gains some momentum and Fuyuki is able to go to the arm when he turns the tide including a nice armbar roll up for a nearfall. Rebelde hurts my heart by hoking on a nerve hold but Fuyuki fights out and eventually catches Rebelde with a back kick for the pin. I enjoyed this more than the Pogo tag so I would back this as a nomination.
