[1999-08-28-NJPW-Jingu Climax] Brian Johnston vs Kazuyuki Fujita

[cactus]

Standing at an impressive 6'3 and being equipped with natural intensity, Brian Johnston looks like someone who would be a huge star. Looking like a freakish hybrid between Nathan Jones and Brock Lesnar, his flaws become suddenly apparent when the bell rings. His strikes look like shit and the ground game he works with a young Fujita looks subpar and awkward. Not a whole happens in this until Johnston lands a combo which looks to rock Fujita, only for Fujita to strike back, land a Fisherman's driver and lock on an armbar for a sudden win. At least this was short and the finish looked cool enough.
