[2010-02-22-IGF-GENOME 11] Minowaman vs Necro Butcher

[Edwin]

Necro Butcher returning to Japan to work dates for Inoki opened up the fantasy booking ideas as he was booked as the Death Match Zombie and it seemed like it would lead to quality matches after his debut against The Predator, unfortunately the follow up was a 3 way match with Rob Van Dam and Kendo Kashin because of course only Inoki could come up with such a match. That unfortunately was followed up with an underwhelming rematch with The Predator and then matches that were easily to tune out against Atsushi Sawada and Taka Kunou as Necro in front of everyone pulled out blades from his wrist tape and bladed them in front of the cameras and everyone.

 Eventually his IGF run gets back on track with this match. Necro of course comes in with some recognition from the fans as a wild death match foreigner who has already bleed buckets in the company against a local experienced MMA fighter who’s known as a fighter who’s implemented pro-wrestling moves into his fight such as hitting a piledriver on Paulo Filho in DEEP. Early on we get some body shots and some dirty boxing with some nasty shows thrown in the clinch and Necro pulling a Tyson on Holyfield and bitting Minowaman’s ear. Minowaman doesn’t bring the Samoa Joe beating on Necro, but he’s not afraid to hit Necro with some nasty straight body kicks and to slap him in his bloody face. Of course Necro bleeds and he bleeds and he bleeds and he bleeds and he bleeds... Seriously, Necro bleeds so much that Minowaman ends up wiping Necro's blood out of his own eyes. We also get a cool Necro airplane spin in which he ends up dropping Minowaman on his head and then proceeds to perfectly sell the effects of the dizzyness followed up by Minowaman catching him in a neat kneebar off his back. Necro also puts together the Tenryu chop and punch combo which gets a shoutout from the commentators and of course always gets a pop from the local crowd. They do the punch exchange and they make it work as they are actually connecting with force behind their strikes and years before Roman Reigns threw a superman punch Minowaman throws a superman elbow. The finish is unfortunately somewhat anti climatic as Minowaman just catches Necro in a heel hook and he taps out. Finish aside, this is still great.
