Oooh, boy, this screwy combination of shooters kick and suplex their way into our hearts, setting the stages for two of the biggest feuds in the early UWF days between Tiger/Fujiwara and Takada/Maeda. Let’s not kid ourselves, Fujiwara is the man here and he makes everyone look money, even throwing his own partner some spare change. Between his grappling and bridging dance-off with Takada or his headbutt barrage to Tiger, Fujiwara's the best part of this match. But Super Sayama Tiger is motivated and angsty with kicks. There’s a great spot where he’s laying into Maeda with strikes and goes for the kneedrop, shifting gears midair when Maeda rolls through to his feet to land a solebutt. Maeda's clearly the weakest of the bunch but he does hit a powerbomb! The second half picks up on the offensive front with piledrivers, headbutts (diving and otherwise), and suplexes galore. Takada brings that grumpy fire out of Fujiwara after paintbrushing him with slaps and Fujiwara carries the flame through to the finish, pinning Takada with the low bridging German suplex hold.
