[1993-01-10-UWFi] Kiyoshi Tamura vs Dan Severn

[superkix]

Another really good match and strong showing from Severn, who has quickly become the best American dude in the promotion outside of maybe Gary Albright. Severn was born to SLAM and that's perfectly okay in my book because Kiyoshi Tamura was born to slip-n-slide. Tons of solid matwork in this with a well-conveyed back-and-forth struggle for holds and intuitive transitions. I liked Severn's leg trip takedown and then when Tamura tries smacking him, Severn answers with knees, a dope front chancery suplex and an underhook suplex. He almost overhead suplexes poor Tamura on his head. Tamura tries for an armbar, then goes to the scissored armbar and finally a choke when nothing else works but Severn is too much and cranks him with his can opener STF for the submission.
