TARZAN GOTO OF THE DAY #1

So we here at Segunda Caida are all about reevaluating the hidden great matches and great wrestlers, previously we have talked up Dustin Rhodes and Yoshiaki Fujiawara and raised their profile and reputation among people who talk about wrestling on the internet. We have decided to do the same for the criminally underrated Tarzan Goto. Fat, greasy haired, face like the victim of a weasel attack, Goto has been derided by your average puro dude (if you check the DVDVR archives I myself coined the term Tarzan Scroto to describe him), but fuck that noise, Tarzan Goto is awesome, and we are going to talk about all of the awesome shit he has done

Atsushi Onita + Tarzan Goto v. Ashura Hara + Genricho Tenryu WAR 2/3/94

Interpromotional WAR matches are pretty much always spectacular, as Tenryu is never so great as when he defends his turf. Then have the invasion lead by Onita and you have two of the most charismatic motherfuckers ever facing off. Their match up was obviously the focus , but Tarzan Goto was really the workhorse in the match. All of his stuff looked crisp (especially in comparison to Tenryu and Onita, who awesome as they were tended to hit stuff awkwardly) ,and he really was vicious especially when the FMW team isolated Hara, He is surprisingly agile for such a fat grotesque, hitting some really nice looking superfly splashes. He even gets the biggest spot of the mach flapjack piledriving Tenryu on a table. Finish of course was all about Tenryu and Onita head to head, and it came off great, but you have to give Goto a bunch of credit for delivering the solid work around the flash.
