[1987-04-28-ASW] Fuji Yamada vs Mark Rocco

[tcg91]

This was for Yamada's Heavy-Middleweight Title.

Such a fun match between young Liger and Rocco. Fans loved Yamada and Rocco got a lot of heat despite still being a spectacular worker, this felt like a New Japan junior match from the 90s and not a British bout from the 80s. Very fun control segment with decent selling, my only problem with this match was all 3 finishes to resulting from moves that didn't look too impactful. Third one was kind of anti-climatic as well (which is admittedly not taking much from the match itself, but made you want to see more).
***3/4
