Andree seems to be really good at finding creative ways to utilize his size. Him countering Inoki's Headlock by lifting him up with one arm looked amazing. I also loved how he easily brushed off Inoki's Headscissords attempt and how they played off that later in the match by having Fujinami Dropkick Andre in the back to help Inoki take him over in the headscissors. Goulet was there mostly to just get some shine on the faces and looked fine in doing so, but it's hard to judge how good someone is when Fujinami tends to make everyone look great. Inoki sold the threat of Andre magnificently-every time Andre would storm into the ring to try and help Goulet it felt like a train was coming by. Andre kicking out of a double pin after a double bodyslan was also a cool moment, and Goulet managing to frustrate Inoki enough to make him go after him and leave Fujinami alone with Andre was the perfect finish. ***1/4
