[1999-03-03-NJPW] Atsushi Onita and Masa Chono

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Onita comes through the crowd and grabs a mic while getting pelted with garbage. Chono comes out to confront him. Big heat for all of this. Onita attacks Chono and beats him up with a microphone. Cameras follow Onita out of the building and he cuts a promo in the parking lot. Cool to see him in a new environment.

I don't really know anything about this angle. Why did Onita have so much heat? This was cool though.

[Tim Evans]

Probably cause it's Onita in a New Japan ring. Funny that NWO Sting is still a thing in 1999 New Japan. When regular Sting joined the NWO wolfpac, did NWO sting dress in red and black? This was a hot angle to set up the match they are having later in the year.

Awesome moment here as Onita gets great heat and this made me care about Chono for the first time in I don't know how long. Interested to see where things advance here.

[Zenjo]

Some effective build up for Chono vs Onita. Like Chad this is the first time I've cared about anything Chono related in ages. The FMW founder is one of those rare wrestlers I could listen to all day without understanding the language.

Wild scene as Onita crashes an introduction from Chono, and is just pelted with crap from the audience. Chono comes out in his George Costanza Gore-tex coat and is attacked. NWO Sting and the other folks supposedly having Chono's back kind of look like morons here. The language barrier is there, but it seems pretty clear that Onita is issuing a challenge.
