[1994-08-04-NJPW-G1 Climax] Riki Choshu vs Yoshiaki Yatsu

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Former tag team partners going at it! Choshu takes a bulldog on the floor. Yatsu applies a sitting indian deathlock thing and Choshu sells the hell out of it. Average match, but Choshu really knows how to build heat.

Fine match for what is was. Didn't blow me away but was solid overall. G1 so far has been average though.

[Exposer]

This was an average match but I did like Yatsu's sitting Indian Deathlock. That looked painful as hell. Choshu does for sure know how to build heat too.

Solid match but not much else to say.

Good match from two guys who know how to work. I was expecting to see a reanimated corpse in place of Yatsu, who's disappeared off the map since SWS, but he looked to be his old 1986 self. Match isn't as good as it would have been in '86 but it was fun.

[Zenjo]

Early on Yatsu hits a powerslam, the same move that he won with on day 1. It barely phases the legend. Undeterred Yosh continues to have most of the offence and has a few of the crowd believing that he can win. Unsurprisingly he doesn't as a few lariats and the sasori-gatame get the duke. If you're burned out on closing stretches you might be finding this tournament more enjoyable than me so far. Although Chono vs Mutoh going 27m in the following contest would drain any enthusiasm quickly. There were a couple of solid matches to end the day in Hash vs Iizuka and Sasaki vs Hash.
