I will Still Be Carrying Yoshiaki Fujiwara When He is Old, His Hair Will Turn Grey and I Will Carry You

Yoshiaki Fujiwara vs. Masa Fuchi AJPW 7/11/00 - GREAT

This was the battle of the two legends of old man grumpy puro. The Walter Matthau invitational. This was a 30 minute draw which All Japan clipped up on their commercial tape much to my chagrin. I imagine a full version might hit EPIC status. We did get a bunch of cool moments, Fuchi working a headscissors with Fujiwara trying and failing multiple escapes. Fujiwara ripping off some great Fujiwara armbars, with Fuchi fighting to the ropes, and a headbutt and slap fight. I liked the finish, with Fujiwara escaping a headscissors only to get caught in a choke and almost going out. Lets hope AJ Classics eventually gets to 2000.


COMPLETE AND ACCURATE FUJIWARA
