[1979-06-15-NWA Hollywood] Tatsumi Fujinami vs Tony Rocco

[superkix]

This wasn’t anything too special. Fujinami is much slicker on the mat than Rocco but the opening touch-and-go was perfectly fine and Fujinami has some beautiful arm drags. They were evenly matched throughout, although Rocco took the advantage with his toe kicks and by applying the Romero Special. He hit a crossbody from the corner for a two count but Fujinami was able to score the win with the Japanese roll leg clutch to retain the title. A decent contest but not as good as their rematch from 1980.
