Posted June 20, 200916 yr comment_5440959 Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Ron Starr (WWF Junior Title) - More excellent stuff from the 1980s junior scene. They started with some crisp matwork, and Starr gradually started mixing in some heelish touches -- a kick on the break here, a hair pull there. Eventually, he went full heel, knocking Fujinami out of the ring several times and nailing him on the apron every time he tried to climb back. Starr employed fairly simple offense that all looked tight and hurty. Of course, Fujinami eventually rallied, and the closing back and forth was very heated. I'm loving this Fujinami invitational approach to the junior belt. He just worked great match after great match. This is another nomination. NJ Classics 94
August 23, 200916 yr comment_5443263 I liked this much more than Chavo-Kimura. When watching, I noticed the same thing Childs did... Starr should does work snug. Really hot run and I have no prob giving a second to the nomination. However, I think we may have to revisit these early Fujinami juniors matches and see if they all belong. For now, I think this one does.
August 29, 200916 yr comment_5443499 I enjoyed Starr here, one of the fun things about this set is random dudes like this showing up. Nasty punches, sick knee drops. I loved the finish too, good shit, on the set.
