Atsushi Onita vs. Masashi Aoyagi (FMW, 10/6/89)

Anytime Atsushi Onita is involved in something, chaos ensues. The same goes for the so-called "Different Style Fights" and this was no different, taking place on the inaugural FMW show. Onita is such a little shit in this match, only gaining some sort of advantage by cheap shotting Masashi Aoyagi. He attacks him from behind like a coward, avoiding most of Aoyagi's kicks and managing a few takedowns and outlasting the first round with a single leg crab hold. Aoyagi exacts his sweet revenge in the second round, knocking Onita out of the ring with his big flurry of karate kicks. Onita keeps getting pummeled into the corner and when the referee intervenes, Onita takes advantage and clobbers Aoyagi with a lariat.

There are plenty of cheapshots in the ropes and even Aoyagi doesn't care anymore and he's just putting the kicks to the grounded Onita. Onita firs off a backdrop, Aoyagi responds with a koppou kick. The Gi comes off and after Aoyagi spin kicks Onita out of the ring, he follows him out, taking the fight to Onita's familiar grounds, and he comes back busted open. The last few minutes of the match see Onita just getting destroyed by kicks in the ring. Whenever he's able to get up, he's stumbling, hanging onto the ref, before Aoyagi shuts him down again. After Aoyagi takes him out with a big kneel kick, the towel's thrown in and Aoyagi wins via TKO...but Onita ain't happy about it. A wacky, wild clash of styles and Onita being the scummy, low blowing Onita we've all come to love.
