[2000-03-26-AJPW] Jun Akiyama vs Takao Omori

[GOTNW]

The infamous seven second match! But this being All Japan nothing is ever as simple as it may seem. Omori attacks Akiyama before the bell, which he actually evades, and hits a big knee knocking Omori down! He then goes for the Exploder, Omori evades it, does an awesome ref shove, blindsights Akiyama with an Axe Bomber and THEN the bell rings, and Omori hits a quick back of the head/regular Axe Bomber combo for the win. Hard to slap a rating on it, but it was an efficient and exciting way of getting someone over, and almost certainly the best executed one in such a short match.

Very nice to see All Japan doing a quick match, which was still really good for what it was. Really exciting and the crowd loved the finish and didn't feel short changed at all. Too short to put a rating on, but a really fun 3 1/2 minutes in total.

Shocking finish and fun to watch. I appreciate AJPW doing this every once in a while between this and the January 1997 Akiyama/Taue match.
