Posted February 24, 200817 yr comment_5428544 Stan Hansen vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu (PWF Title, 7/19/87) - This starts off slow and meandering until Yatsu misses a charge and shoulders the ringpost on his way out of the ring. This opens up Hansen to attack the arm at will with some chair shots and inside ring work. Yatsu gets a hope spot as Hansen whips Yatsu into the steel rail, misses a knee lift and hurts his leg which Yatsu exploits. What was turning into a boring match picked up after that missed shoulder. The match ends in a double countout but it was pretty damn fun in the end. I’ll give it a mild nomination just so you guys can check it out. (AJC 152)
May 5, 201015 yr comment_5450476 I really liked the aggression both guys showed during their limb work. It gave the match a wild, violent feel that I didn't expect going in. Actually, I even liked the touches of brawling mixed into the early working of holds. The end was a downer but I agree with the low-level nomination.
September 11, 201015 yr comment_5455521 PWF Heavyweight Title: Stan "The Lariat" Hansen © vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu (7/19/87) Slow start here with both men jockeying for the advantage until Hansen sends Yatsu running into the ringpost shoulder first going to the floor. Hansen then attacked the shoulder with a steel chair and went to work on it immediately in the ring. Hansen was relentless here but Yatsu would fight back getting a chance when Hansen missed a running knee sending him over the railing on the floor. Yatsu then used a steel chair on the knee and he would work on the knee like Hansen did on his shoulder setting up the Prison Lock which was hard to get on as Hansen fought hard. Yatsu tied Hansen to the tree of woe before taking it back to the floor where he wrapped Hansen's leg around the ringpost but Hansen would break free and would hit a big lariat on Yatsu on the floor as Joe Higuchi counted both men out. This was a fun hard hitting match and it moves forward.
