Posted August 28, 200817 yr comment_5434258 Not as epic as their match 10 days earlier, but still pretty darn great. Fujiwara spent the match choking out Inoki, starting with judo throwish snap mares. Nasty stiff chokes, and Inoki kept rabbit punchin Fujiwara, finish wasn’t as awesome as their other match and it didn’t have the riot atmosphere, but this makes a set. NJ v. UWF Vol 1 disc 2

It was also different enough from their February match that both need to be on the set. I liked Fujiwara's cocky grin as he evaded Inoki's big offense at the end. And he didn't miss a beat as he transitioned to selling big when Inoki took out his leg. Easy nomination from a great night of wrestling. Match appears on NJ TV 6/12/86 and NJ Classics 234
August 13, 200916 yr comment_5442746 Fujiwara going back to attack Inoki with the chinlock is a great nod to the first match. When Inoki applies it, it looks like Fujiwara is about ten seconds from his last breath. Add the blood and the hot finish and I am happy to move this forward. My appreciation for the Feb. match enhanced helped me appreciate the rematch as well. Good solid pick but not SLAM DUNK stuff.
