Posted June 21, 20241 yr comment_6022167 Nearly fainted when I stumbled upon this, talk about an unexpected treat. Let's get the negatives out of the way - forget about any comparisons to their 1974 classic. Unfortunately this one is much more brief, and really isn't even a proper match, but is more of an angle. Still, it's Inoki and Oki in a one on one setting. If I get a minute, I'm gonna be thankful for that minute. And no, we're not talking about a minute like the Sakaguchi vs Oki match which was two minutes but the match-angle lasts quite a bit longer longer and has action throughout the entire thing. This is an honest minute-minute and a half of Inoki vs Oki. But it is a glorious minute, with Oki viciously going straight after Inoki, who does an all time great sell of being overtaken by a surprise attack and desperately trying to survive. Tremendous for what it is, a great display of the charisma and intensity these two could bring and something which, even if it may not be the greatest thing since slice bread of its own, displays them using the same level of capability which they used to have some of the best wrestling of all time.
