Not a thinking man's match but if you had to watch two guys throw bunch of big moves at each other in 1985, this was probably about as good as it got. Koshinaka is often described as a wrestler who thrived despite limited offense. Not here. He tossed in all kinds of shit, from suplex variations, to a doublestomp off the top to a swank plancha. And he joined the relatively small club of guys who pulled excellent matches out of Cobra. Nomination.

Start with the matwork early on and some of it was pretty cool like Kosh's reverse Indian death lock. Hell, Cobra even favors the leg after they both get on their feet. I am going to disagree with Childs though. While there were some good moves, and solid execution, everytime there was an Irish whip, when the two collided, they had no idea what to do at that point. It happened before the dueling enziguiris. It happened shortly before the backslide. I enjoyed the Saito-Cobra matches better and those won't get any love. I also think there are too many Koshinaka matches that smoke this to move this forward. No vote.
