Vader vs Bam Bam Bigelow - NJPW 9/12/88

Very underwhelming hoss fight. Bigelow doesnt do it for me. You think a dude with fucking blue flames tattooed to his head would be more menacing but here he is fucking cartwheeling again. Vader is getting excited about the puffs of steam coming out of the helmet. Bigelow decides to wrestle this like he is Steamboat doing somersaults to avoid locking up with Vader and playing to the crowd. They fucking do a dropdown, hiptoss counter hiptoss as Vader powders and Bigelow soaks in the cheers. Flair & Steamboat eat your hearts out! Vader does a test of strength and thankfully cleans this punk's clock. BEEFY SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Belly to Back Suplex! Massive splash in the corner. You know bare minimum Vader's offense would look sick. Bigelow takes a HARD Flair Flop bump. I think he surprised himself there. Vader does his best to kick ass, but Bigelow is just not returning fire. Vader eats his railing bump as he is just wrestling himself. They do a ref bump for no reason. Bigelow's offense is so fucking weak. Vader backdrops him over the railing. Vader vaults the railing but lands short so has to bunny hop splash Bigelow in the seats, which is a microcosm of how silly this match is. Double countdown. Nothing to see here folks, Bigelow is just not very good.
