[1992-04-06-AJPW-Championship Carnival] Jumbo Tsuruta vs Masanobu Fuchi

Fun to see Jumbo in a bully role and the fans firmly behind Fuchi in their only singles match. There's a nice little build to the backdrop but as Fuchi continues to counter the attempts with submissions, working him on the mat. I like when Fuchi keeps grabbing Jumbo's arm to prevent him from using a rope break. For awhile, Jumbo wears down Fuchi with abdominal stretches and sleeper holds. When Jumbo finally hits the backdrop, he can't immediately capitalize and Fuchi kicks out at two. But Jumbo hits a second one and that's all she wrote. Great selling from both men, a fun build, but a simple and safe tournament match.
