This gets here for the clothesline Hall hits Rapada in the corner with. OUCH.

This is the match that Mike Rapada retired after because Scott Hall worked him over so much, if I recall correctly.

That is delightful, but: I have to imagine that there was someone in the crowd, a young woman maybe, who lived in a rural area in Japan and made a long and expensive trip to see her favourite wrestler, Akira Hokuto, live and in person for the very first time.  I wonder how that young woman felt. 

 

(Note: Back in 2005, I made my first trip to Japan, with the woman who has now been my wife for well over a decade. I went to a New Japan show in Osaka. I got to see Liger live and in person for the very first time. He was booked against Tiger Mask IV. There is a rumour that, at the time, TMIV was being punished for a bad attitude by being jobbed out in short matches. My first ever Liger match went about four minutes. I was not delighted).
