Posted October 20, 200817 yr comment_5435296 This was pretty damn great, as you had Inoki getting worked over with big power moves, and Inoki ripping up Bigelows arm. Cool arm selling by Bigelow. Cool post match Vader beat down too. Nomination NJPW Sky A vol 120
July 7, 200916 yr comment_5441654 This was a smart little match with Inoki realizing he couldn't win toe-to-toe and going after Bigelow's arm. I'm not sure it quite moved from smart to gripping. I wish Bigelow had crushed Inoki a little more or maybe bloodied him. The crowd's modest reaction spoke to the lack of peril. I don't mind seeing this go forward for now, but it's not a match I'll fight to keep in the final reckoning.
August 14, 200916 yr comment_5442792 I am a sucker for working on a body part so I can appreciate focusing on the arm but Bigelow showed neither the viciousness or urgency to get me to rally around him. Still, Inoki did some cool shit. After missing the headbutt, Bigelow gets punched in the arm by Inoki, followed by getting it wrapped around the ring post. This is a wierd match where I was actually rooting for Inoki to win and Bigelow looks worse for getting in the ring. For as strong and mean as he looks, he got owned by Inoki. Add the clean ending and I would love to see this on the set but this isn't what I expected going in.
