[1999-04-10-NJPW-Strong Style Symphony] Kazuo Yamazaku & Kazuyuki Fujita vs Yuki Ishikawa & Alexander Otsuka

[superkix]

This match had its moments but never really got out of second gear. I liked the urgency of the opening action and Alexander running in to dump Yamazaki with the German suplex. Fujita was real grunty and reckless, the way he'd power out of holds and toss the opposition around like sandbags. I thought Yamazaki was the standout here, with his slick as catshit exchanges with Otsuka and him wrenching on Ishikawa. Ishikawa keeps going after Yamazaki’s legs in response to the kicks but the finish came out of nowhere as Yamazaki grabs a cross armbreaker for the submission. Neat match-up on paper but didn’t quite live up to any expectations.
