Ric Flair vs. Shinya Hashimoto

[7.0] "It's cool they faced each other. Hashimoto wasn't as stiff as against japanese wrestlers but it was a fun bout. Flair did his shtick that is always over in Japan."

[7.0] "This is a very fun watch - I kind of very randomly stumbled upon it & was like "wait Flair & Hashimoto wrestled for the big title? ", damn lol. It is not a classic by any means, but watching Flair go full-on American heel in this setting is fun & he delivers a very good performance mostly dominating the match. Hash definitely could've & probably should've sold the leg more during his big comeback towards the end, given that the entire match is structured around Flair working over it, but the bout ends very quickly after Hash gets back into it so it's not *all that* offensive to see him fight through the pain while delivering his badass offense. It is a good little match between two best ever. Definitely worth a watch if you're into either one of them."
