[1980-01-28-IWE Japan] Rusher Kimura vs Killer Karl Krupp

Talk about it here.

About 7 minutes is shown. Lots of bearhugs and claw holds in this. Krupp bleeds for some reason and does a dive off the top rope in 1980. Nice to see Kimura before he became a comedy figure.

Maybe a little short to give an honest opinion, but I dug this. I haven't seen much Krupp stuff, but this match made me interested in watching more of his stuff.

Krupp stinks. Even at about half the match shown, this was a chore for me. Kimura bleeding felt random and something IWE heavily relied on too much.
