[1978-01-02-IWE Japan] Mighty Inoue & Animal Hamaguchi vs Great Kojika & Motoshi Okuma

[Jetlag]

This isn't outstanding, but a really fun match and interesting because it's natives vs. natives with clear face/heel roles. Okuma and Kojika are fun stooging bruiser heels who work over the faces with nice punches and headbutts, cutting off the ring and doing extended beatdowns, while Hamaguchi and Inoue are really fun when they get fired up. I also dug their fast amateur wrestler movements. There is blood, brawling and they keep up the pace throughout, altough admittedly this match probably went 15 minutes too long. Still, I enjoyed this.

This was actually held as part of an AJPW event; IWE were just the ones who got the broadcast rights.
