The matches in this feud are total bullshit, but they all rule. Heat mongering, some filler work, couple high spots in between, tease a finish, and repeat. It's timelessly simple and it WORKS! Because this is the mid 80s you get all kinds of solid offense from everyone, big firemans carry, snug back elbows, huge back body drops and so on. Ishikawa deliberately pisses off Choshu and is rewarded with a lariat that has his body growing stiff! Tenryu gets knocked down a couple pegs! The lariat that ends the match is pretty much the most brutal thing. Not the tightest match you'll ever see, but it just plain works.

All excitement 6 man match! Battle lines are drawn! Everyone is really good here...20+ minute match but never a dull moment.

I agree with Jetlag. These are simple matches but really are prime examples of working simple competitive matches is all you need sometimes. I don't think this match is as good an example as 01/26/85 which isn't posted on here. That one is even better. Violent, intense stuff - great match! Choshu's team is a force to be reckoned with which is a neat twist as its usually the Hansen/Brody and various American crews that are the threats.
