★★★

The day after Inoki won back his NWF Title. I don’t know what I expected from this really considering there was nothing tangible on the line. Either way the heat was still there. Inoki set upon Hansen immediately, his hand wrapped in his blue towel, wailing away on the big man with some strong rights. It wasn’t long before Hansen found some footing in the match though and he was impressive putting pressure on Inoki.
Not quite a sprint, but they worked a quick pace and this didn’t go longer than 10 or so minutes. The crowd were really into it and popped massive for a couple spots, including Inoki getting suplexed over the top rope to the outside. Nothing crazy memorable but gritty and intense. Hansen went for the Lariat, missed and caught the ringpost, which is becoming a pet spot, then the bell rang for the double countout as the brawling continued.
