[2000-07-30-Osaka Pro] Dick Togo & Black Buffalo vs Takehiro Murahama & Tsubasa

[soup23]

The trial series for Murahama continues. When Buffalo/Togo are teaming up, you are at optimal capacity for the Osaka Pro rudos. Tsubasa helped add a lot of flash and aerial moves here as he was flying around and hitting everything cleanly. Murahama continues to dazzle both in being worked over and then fighting from underneath with ferocious kicks making him look like the ultimate pint sized ass kicker. ***1/2 (6.9)

Togo seemingly gets busted open hardway here by Murahama. So much intensity brought to this by Togo with vicious clothesline and disdainful slaps to Murahama. Also him shrugging off the parade of kicks to build to the finish with the senton. I liked Tsubasa a good deal here too sprinkling in a tiny bit of grappling with his flashy offense.

 

***1/4

This trial series has really seen LOV beat the bejesus out of Murahama as they again continue to stiff him up when they get the chance with slaps and lariats. Tsubasa is a neat addition to this as he works at a faster pace than Murahama and brings some nifty aerial offense which he pulls off well here. The match was good, but not great.

Another fine match from Osaka Pro. This was an all-action tag highlighted by the Dick Togo vs. Murahama match-up. With all the praise Murahama has been getting in July it was Togo who shone here. IT wasn't a match with a ton of depth but Togo gave a swank performance all the same. Notch one up for the rudos in the Murahama Trial Series.

Decent tag highlighted by the interractions between Murahama and Togo. Murahama knows how to take a beating, including a nasty chairshot to the head, but he's also able to dish it out, busting open Togo. Tsubasa was fun in his speedster role and Buffalo was there to break shit up.

Nice to see the good guys fight back against Togo and Buffalo. Tsubasa is fast and I dig Murahama as the small guy that has some shooty offense. Then Togo gets busted open and lays out fools with clotheslines. I liked the end where he was going for the pedigree but decided not to and just went with the senton. Good match.
