Super Black Ninja vs. Invader I (Cage match) (2/6/88)

Excited for this. Muto takes over right away and starts kicking Invader and ripping his mask. Invader gets tossed into the steel, bit upon and thrown into the cage some more getting busted up right away. So this leads to Invader’s all time great selling and all time great comebacks. Even better are the comebacks that get cut off. This is a really short match but it is basically all Muto dominating Invader so Invader sells and makes brief comebacks to keep the crowd into it. So it rules. Invader’s big comeback is spectacular with the crowd going insane and Muto hitting a BRUTAL blade job. This is about as good of an eight minute long cage match as you can get.

This is one of those matches where Invader, even in the mask, bleeds and sells the blood loss like he is who he is, but you still wish he was mask-less so you get the facial expressions to go with the body language and punch-drunk stumbling around. Muta controls most of this and Invader gets his ass beat, but every time it looks like Muta might escape Invader grabs a leg to prevent it. When you think it's just a matter of time, Invader produces the almighty equaliser and punts Muta in the balls. Muta blades and about two seconds later his face is entirely red. Sick, sick blade job. He also gets crotched up top and that looked fucking nasty as well. Cool finish, too.

Imagine that. A match based around Invader's selling and blood loss is really good. Muta feels the need to top Invader's blade job, which also works in the match's favor.
