[1982-08-05-NJPW] Tiger Mask vs Dynamite Kid

This seems to be the night they pulled a rabbit out of their hat and delivered the best match of their series. TM was pretty sloppy at times and there were moments where it looked like Dynamite was about to die from a botched move. But overall, if I saw this match, I would almost believe the hype, more for Dynamite's performance than Sayama's. His timing and bumping was top notch. Nothing I'd go to bat for, but I thought it was excellent, warts and all. ***3/4

Definitely the best one of the series, at least so far. They toned this down and decided to sell properly, the crazy spots were still there, but they really meant something this time. Even the usual cliché motions looked way better, Dynamite looked really aggressive and Mask sold the legs well, which affected his following comeback. Apart from a botched armdrag, there was none of the sloppiness they have shown against one another. Mask finally used a dive on Dynamite, which he failed a couple of times, and this was the turning point for him. Really sick and effective finish, clean and decisive for Mask, this time he was the one to use the tombstone on his opponent
***3/4
