Shinya Hashimoto Saw Me Standing Alone Without A Dream in My Heart

Shinya Hashimoto/Masa Saito/Koji Kitao vs. Bam Bam Bigelow/Steve Williams/Big Van Vader NJPW 5/24/90 - EPIC

PAS: Look at this absolutely murderers row of badasses. I mean who is the softest dude in this match, Bigelow? Maybe Kitao? This is worked like you wanted it to be worked, just big beast dudes throwing escalating hard shots at each other. I loved Saito in this. He seemed to inch up the intensity with every interaction, and the gaijin seemed shocked at how hard this little teapot looking guy was hitting them, and there is nothing Steve Williams loves more than escalation. Kitao is green but legit, and was right there looking like he belonged in this fight. There were a couple of great Williams and Hash exchanges, including Shinya hitting a weird high bodypress and Williams breaking up a pin with a headscissors. Post match has a big Vader vs. Kitao face off, which really makes me want to search for that singles match. 


COMPLETE AND ACCURATE SHINYA HASHIMOTO
