Kazunari Murakami & Masahiro Chono vs. Minoru Suzuki & Yoshihiro Takayama

[7.0] "Suzuki and murakami start it off, suzuki sticks with mocking murakami and getting in slaps while murakami goes for punches. This was the final stretch of years from chono's career so obviously his addition to the match mainly resides in making everyone look good. Murakami and chono take turns beating down suzuki and working his leg while he waits to get the tag from takayama, once takayama gets the tag though it really took me a minute to realize that there wasnt a very big payoff with the crowd there, suzuki really just did not make it seem like it mattered, takayama tried his best to make it something big though. Suzuki tags back in after takayama beats up chono for a minute and then now chono is in the position of waiting for the tag. The match ends pretty chaotically as everyone was just kind of brawling, suzuki finished murakami with a gotch style piledriver and takayama and chono continued to brawl outside. Pretty good match"

[4.0] "Mura and Suzuki together is essentially a mirror match as the pair are both dickhead shooters with a tendency for rule breaking. Suzuki goes for little baby slaps while Mura keeps trying to take his head off with punches, only for the latter to keep running away. Suzuki eventually gets too cocky and lets Mura get a shot on him, which causes both to stumble to the mat. We get some decent back and forths, mostly just loose strikes though. Mura also slaps on a Cobra Twist for a dig, Suzuki throws it on even deeper, being able to roll Mura down for a grounded variation. The Chono stuff is mostly just kinda bleh, typical stuff out of him. It's mostly there to make Mura's explosive stuff seem more impressive by comparison. I kinda blacked out during the middle section because it was Suzuki trying to get a hot tag over, which I'm sorry to say, he sucks pretty bad at it, the crowd were massively apathetic throughout and the big Taka charge was met with faint cheers. Suzuki also gets in some UWF 1.0. submission stuff as well as stealing Chono's crappy shoulder lock submission. Chono gets beaten up for a while until he spams Kenka Kicks and then a decent Shining Kenka Kick to Taka for the "hot" tag to Mura, who does manage to get a reaction with his crazy fists and corner stomp. Suzuki and co do well in bumping and selling, but also make sure to add in some cut-off points to keep the dramatics going. It's all for nothing though as Suzuki quickly takes out Mura with a Gotch piledriver for the three. The ONLY highlight worth mentioning is the dramatic zoom-in they do of Inoki's face before the finish, guy already looked like he's pounded like three bottles already; man was slumped in his chair and just expressionless lol. But yeah outside of that this was a title match......and that's really it. Suzuki and Taka kinda just do their thing on a show they don't really care much about, Chono is Chono and Mura gets some youthful energy into what is very much a old guy match. That being said, really boring stuff here, don't bother."
