WWF - Showdown at Shea
Tatsumi Fujinami (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero
WWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match
Shea Stadium, Flushing, New York, USA
Card
★★

Back to back for Chavo here as he challenged Fujinami for his Junior Heavyweight Title. I thought the work here was perfectly fine but it certainly felt like a by the numbers affair for these two. The high spots that normally get the blood rushing fell a bit flat here as something like Fujinami’s dive to the outside felt small as he just flung himself into the wide expanse of Shea Stadium. The best moment of the match was Fujinami delivering an aeroplane spin and then selling the dizziness himself which I thought was excellent. Otherwise it was a bit dull for what it was, which I’ll admit could be down somewhat to expectations coming in.
