[2000-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Jushin Liger vs Yuji Nagata

[soup23]

Come on, give Liger a win. This was yet another match from clips where he has the crowd behind him and rocking and he is working over Nagata big time. They give Liger a big confidence move kicking out of the first big bomb that Nagata throws at him but he falls short and gets pinned on a back suplex. NR

Liger looked awesome here and unfortunately Nagata sort of was just along for the ride. Nagata slaps his knee and stomps it out a few times to ultimately blow off Liger's great leg attack. And again Liger is just sort of bowled over by the heavyweight in pseudo-dismissable fashion. It wasn't bad, just more of an overarching problem I'm having with these clipped G-1 matches so far. Especially these with juniors and/or underdogs trying to topple someone.
