Yoshiaki Fujiwara Takes Crooked Paths and Will be Found Out



Yoshiaki Fujiwara vs. Osamu Arai Kingdom 11/21/02 - FUN


Weird match which was on what I think was a MMA show (earlier Kingdom shows were clearly works, but I think this show was all MMA fighters), but wasn't particularly worked like a fake shoot. Osamu Arai is a tubby dude who seems kind of lost whenever he ends up on the mat. It is always fun to watch Fujiwara grapple, and he has some cool moments, including a great application of a head and arm choke. We have a great Fujiwara finish too, with Arai rushing in after hitting a couple of bad looking suplexes, and getting countered right into a Fujiwara armbar. Still not sure what this was, but kind of a fun discovery. 
I am a fan of old man brawls, and this is what we have here. Basically someone stole the last pudding at lunch and they are going at it. Headbut Fujiwara is the least of the Fujiwara's, but even lower end Fujiwara is worth checking out. Koshinaka will still take his hip and slam it into the side of someones head hard. It needed a bit more energy to push this past FUN, this meandered a bit, which isn't usually a problem for either guy.

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE YOSHIAKI FUJIWARA
