3 NJPW Matches one from 1/20/84, 2 bouts from 1/27/84
Author's Note I somehow missed a NJPW match from 1/20/84, So let's start there!
Match #1 Black Tiger/Cobra vs Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid If you know anything about these four grapplers you come into seeing it with high expectations. Those were met! Wow just constant action! Everybody was crisp and stiff and in the right place at the right time! Davey Boy really stood out in the match. At one point Cobra monkey flipped him and he landed on his feet right behind Cobra. It was a tremendous catlike maneuver. Then he presses Cobra over his head and hurls him out over the top rope with ease. My only real complaint about the match it had no ring psycology at all, guys would tag in do something devastating and let his opponent just make the tag! The one story of the bout was Dynamite Kid avoiding Cobra each time the white mask came in DK would tag out! Finish saw Davey and Cobra fight out past the safety rails. While in the ring Black Tiger sets up for what i believe was going to be a backwards elbow drop. But Dynamite sprints up and goes under Black Tiger picking him up on his shoulders. Kid then does one of the scariest "Electric Chair" drops I have ever seen. I think Dynamite got his feet tangled up or something because the move looked scary! He hit a bodyslam and his top rope diving headbutt for the pin! A very solid contest! https://youtu.be/W5LRzT6A0k8
Match#2 1/27/84 Cobra vs Dynamite Kid Like I said above These two men were way ahead of their time! They are two of the standard bearers for Junior Heavyweights all time! This was a spectacular display back and forth never dull for a moment! It was much more mat based for most of the contest. Showing these two we're not one trick ponies! But in the final 6 minutes of the bout when they turned on the high flying high impact arsenal the crowd was ready for it! The finish series was a great one! The fight on the floor Cobra Whips DK into the barricade hard. Then runs in the ring and flies down off the top rope to the outside on a stumbling off balance DK! They both get back in at the count of 15. DK hits a bodyslam and goes for his top rope diving headbutt, Cobra moves at the last second and man does Dynamite crash and burn! Cobra waits for his man to get to his feet gets behind him and hits a beauty of a victory roll ffor the three count! If you are reading these words watch this match! simply a clinic! Two more things about this video, this is a Spanish dub of a Japanesse match and before the bout the commentators show still photo's of Hulk Hogan's title win over the Iron Shiek 4 days previous! https://dai.ly/x2v8i5e
#Match 3 Bad News Allen vs Abdullah the Butcher This is the utter and complete opposite of the other matches covered in this blog! This was a crazy bloody affair that was thrown out almost as it began! What do you say about this kind of spectacle beyond Damn and he might be trying to kill him! https://dai.ly/x1bsamw
