Posted January 30, 200916 yr comment_5436956 I really enjoyed this. Sakaguchi was the first native to stand toe to toe and trade bombs with Vader. And Vader bumped and sold more than in his previous tags with Saito. This was the match where I felt like the fight was joined against this new monster. So I'll throw it on the block.
June 14, 200916 yr comment_5440722 Yeah Sakaguchi was a total beast here, the best I have ever seen him look. I loved the Sumo showdown. This 1988 Vader run is just spectacular. The pull apart had the crazy feel that this need
July 13, 200916 yr comment_5441907 2/1/88 Antonio Inoki/Seiji Sakaguchi vs. Big Van Vader/Masa Saito - I wasn’t really feeling what they were going for early on. It didn’t seem right for Team Inoki to be able to pull Vader around for tags or working weak holds where he just stands there. This felt like a big time match and I liked the end and the pull-apart brawl but vote no on the match.
