[1999-02-05-Toryumon] Magnum TOKYO vs Shiima Nobunaga

[Jetlag]

This got **** 1/2 from Meltzer. As expected, the match was very fast and had a lot of slick moves. Also, Shiima had his heel faction at ringside, which added a semblance of a story to the bout, as TOKYO had half a dozen guys piling up on him when he ended up on the outside. The execution was fine and this wound up being a decent indy style match, altough the action was not the type that will leave a lasting impression on me.

Pretty good match. Both not as definited offensively but character wise, they got it down pat. Shiima will do anything to his body to hurt you, if that doesn't work, cheating is the way too go. Magnum is a fan favourite with his dance routines and loves to shake his hips. That with the constant struggle back and forth made for a good dynamic. ***3/4
