[1987-09-07-NJPW] Nobuhiko Takada & Keiichi Yamada vs Mark Rocco & Owen Hart

[tcg91]

This was a blast and it couldn't have been anything else . The gaijins were great at making the native guys look good, but also when indulging in competitive matwork and flashy stuff. This felt like a nice bridge between the early 80s concept of Junior Heavyweight and the modern approach, with some UK style flavour as well. Takada looked a bit odd a times, due to this not being his usual type of match, but the heat segment was really strong and so were the few final minutes. Good and satisfying finish.
***1/4
