Superstar Sleeze Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Antonio Inoki vs Tony Rocco - NJPW 2/2/79 Tony Rocco is a name I have heard associated with British wrestling but never seen. This is a weird addition to the New Japan World Catalog as it is pretty much a nothing match that’s about 8 minutes long. They work It like they are going Broadway, it is three holes and then a finish. The holds are well-done. Rocco takes Inoki down with a double wristlock and scissors the head. The amount of effort it took for Inoki to escape the hold was refreshing. Then Rocco got him a fisherman cradle but the ref refused to count. Inoki barred the arm. From there Inoki threw a couple DROPKICKs, Rocco atomic dropped him on the ropes into a backslide to get his nearfall. Inoki won with a Saito Suplex. A total nothing burger not good or bad. Just no meat on the bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
