[7.0] "Not a classic which is why I suppose it hasn't been recommended yet on cagematch but I think any Andre vs Inoki singles is a must watch. Andre has so much presence and is a menace throughout, yelling and roaring. At the start he just picks up and moves the ref to get at Inoki. The first half is mostly well worked holds but when they get into things in the second half this is great action. Very well worth your time."
