Posted June 9, 200916 yr comment_5440484 Hulk Hogan vs. Tatsumi Fujinami (2/6/85) - This starts off great as Fujinami is being checked out by the ref and Hogan nails him with a lariat and pins him for a three count… but the bell hasn’t rung yet. Just like the previous match, Hogan controls until it goes outside and this time, Fujinami turns the tables with a bodyslam on the concrete. A lot of similarities to this match and the previous day’s match. However, this one feels like the 2nd match where both guys know each other enough to counter certain things. Hogan knows after he gets tied in the Sharpshooter, he needs to get out of the ring and regroup. He knew the lariat put Fujinami away before so he tried to go for it right away. Even though it ended in a counout, I loved the ending. Fujinami nailing the lariat after ducking the Hogan lariat, sending Hogan out. In a panic, Hogan pulls Fujinami out to save his hide. Good stuff. The rematch gets a nomination. NJ Classics 184
July 18, 200916 yr comment_5442083 Cool opening, but the rest of it didn't live up to the previous day's match. I guess I just wanted somethig more wild after Hogan's opening gambit. I'm leaning no.
