[1998-01-04-NJPW-Final Power Hall in Tokyo Dome] Keiji Muto vs Kensuke Sasaki

[Jetlag]

This was going shockingly well in the first half. I'm as sceptical against these two guys as you can get, but they did a nice job building a traditional title match. Nothing mindblowing but really solid executed slow mat based type work mostly built around arm attack vs. Leg attack stuff. Then as I was ready to declare this a miracle match Muto grinds the whole thing with a bunch of long figure spots that go nowhere. The crowd is amped though and they proceed to take it home in fine fashion. Should say that Sasaki looked good, even doing a decent job selling his leg, also his judo throw is one of the best moves.
