Posted September 22, 200817 yr comment_5434765 Disc 18 August 03rd 1984: Second match also on Classics 173 1. The Cobra vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi - Another frustrating clip job. As with the Cobra/Dynamite match, the highlights look excellent, but the build and transitions are missing. I don't know if they started doing this deliberately to make Cobra look better than he was, but the match is impossible to judge in this form. 2. Antonio Inoki vs. Riki Choshu - They had built to this for at least a month, and given that, it was pretty disappointing. They worked most of it on the mat, where they were solid but not exactly Volk Han and Kiyoshi Tamura. They never really built to an exchange of big moves and violence. Instead, Inoki pinned Choshu on a random roll-up after they went almost 30 minutes. It just felt like the wrong match. Maybe Inoki planned a bigger grudge match and was thwarted by Choshu leaving. But it's a shame that this was the last major singles match of the Ishingun-Seikigun feud.
