Posted June 21, 200916 yr comment_5440996 December 8, 1981, Tokyo - Sumo Hall Tiger Mask vs. El Canek - Say this for Sayama: they brought in a lot of great guys to work against him. This was almost a protean version of his matches with Fujiwara. Sayama was the mover and striker, Canek the clubber and stretcher. And they both played their parts well. This also featured one of the best double countout set-ups in a decade full of double countouts. It should move forward. NJ Classics 113

September 5, 200916 yr comment_5443859 This is one of those matches where Tiger Mask is going light speed but is going a little too fast as he is really out of control in some of those early moves including completely flying over Canek on his running cross body. Much more back and forth than the Villano match and much better matwork. Nice stretch run leading up to the wild ending. Really fun match thanks to Canek getting the best out of Tiger Mask.
