I Hung in Pretty Good for a Round or Two, but Tenryu Don’t Fight Fair Like Daddy Taught Me To

Genichiro Tenryu & Atsushi Onita v Riki Choshu & Shiro Koshinaka (No Ropes Explosive Barbed Wire Deathmatch) (World Japan, 6/29/03) - FUN

What a magic. This was basically seven minutes of four old guys doing signature spots. With explosions! It was like a puro version of the video for that 'Girls & Boys' by Good Charlotte. Onita came out with his Noel Gallagher hair died a purplish brown looking like a slightly less cosmetically enhanced Sharon Osborne. The other three were kitted out exactly like they would be for any other match. Onita took three bumps into barbed wire and by the end he had bladed his forehead, stomach and maybe his back, his leather jacket had been discarded and the t-shirt under it a shredded mess. He spat green mist in Choshu's face to break up a Sharpshooter on Tenryu, then when Choshu wouldn't let go he threw a fireball at him instead. Tenryu took the tamest explosion bump you ever did see after a Koshinaka hip attack and I don't recall him doing anything else outside the finish. Koshinaka got caught in the crossfire of Onita's final bump into the wire and sold it like his ear got blown off, so naturally he was afforded the sympathy of being dropped on his neck. You can fairly well skip this, but it certainly has a novelty factor if you're a fan of anybody in it. You could literally watch it while boiling an egg.
