Posted December 7, 200816 yr comment_5436244 DVD #20 9/24/82 - Matches also on Classics 131 Tiger Mask/Hoshino vs. Black Tiger/Villano III - Fun spotfest. Villano III was the best guy in the match, but the other three hit their stuff. No great story or heat. The work was good enough for a low-level nomination. Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Hiro Hamaguchi - They spent much of the match demonstrating how evenly matched they were on the mat. This stayed pretty interesting as they worked hard in the holds. They traded their higher-impact stuff in the build to the finish, producing several nearfalls. Nothing remarkable about it -- just a good, hard wrestling match between two well-matched, outstanding workers. I'll take that any day, so it goes on the block. Inoki vs. Sgt. Slaughter - Pretty good while it lasted. Sarge went after Inoki's midsection with gutbusters and slams. He also hit a nasty looking short clothesline. Inoki rallied pretty quickly, however, and finished it with his suplex-enziguiri combo. Not enough to it for a nomination.
