[2000-06-18-Michinoku Pro] Masaaki Mochizuki vs Minoru Fujita

[soup23]

This was a ton of fun. There are minor things like interference from Mochi right in front of the referees eyes that dip it slightly below the great level for me but I really enjoyed the work that Mochi did on top and Fujita's sell job was tremendous. He had a lot of his body worked over and managed to sell both his leg and midsection wonderfully with it stunting his aerial moves that he tried to perform. I also greatly enjoyed the finishing stretch where it builds but also ends on the correct move giving the psychology of the match. Nothing was bloated or unnecessary. ***3/4 (7.6)

Fujita showcases some spirited babyface fire and his hope spots were the only time the crowd made any noise, but FUCK dedicating over half of this match to Mochizuki's generic ass kick-stomp control segments. 

**1/2
