Talk about it here.

JIP to the HOT DEAFENINGLY HEATED ACTION! This ain't your Granddaddys AJPW anymore as Choshus decision to stick to his 2 moves brings the constant threat of a finish. No more restholds, just 4 lumpy guys getting in and throwing eachother around hard! Surely old Okuma hits some great looking headbutts! Tenryu kicks Choshu in the eye! Hamaguchi is such a tank, and also he FLIES over the top rope like a madman. Hamaguchi comes up bloodied and suddenly you don't know who's the loss post anymore. Tenryu looks almost offended when Choshu clocks him with the dreaded lariat! Losing man gets totally destroyed for the finish! This was a bag of fun and a great introduction to the Choshuism that would sweep All Japan that year.
