[1993-05-06-UWFi-Fight of Champions] Nobuhiko Takada vs Dan Severn

[superkix]

Regrettably, Severn is out of the black trunks and rocking the USA singlet, which means serious business -- I mean, he elects not to shake Takada's hands. This was a pretty formulaic Takada match. Takada plays good defense early on, using leg kicks, knee strikes, blocking Severn’s takedown attempts. Takada tries to block the belly-to-belly but can't and Severn follows that up with a neat front suplex before the match stalls on the ground and turns into Takada's finishing stretch of leg kicks and an armbar. Severn not being in a dominant role hurt this match (and the obvious lack of black trunks).
