It's a Seedy WAR Midcard Extravaganza

Koki Kitahara v Hiromichi Fuyuki (WAR, 4/2/95)

Very much the sort of mangy close-quarters potatofest you want from these two. Kitahara is bandaged up around the midsection and fights an uphill battle against Fuyuki and his minions in their red pyjamas, like Hogan stepping against the entire Heenan Family. Within a minute blood is trickling from Kitahara's forehead, a result of them grabbing each other by the hair and throwing headbutts. It spills to the floor and Fuyuki whomps Kitahara with a chair so hard that I guess the latter bit his own tongue, because he crawls back in the ring bleeding from both forehead and mouth. Fuyuki was a shrieking menace and threw brutal lariats, coconut headbutts and vicious slaps. When Kitahara was pushed past breaking point he would retaliate in the nastiest ways possible, the best example being the wildest spin kick I think I've ever seen. It landed flush on Fuyuki's face and it sounded like someone had waffled him with a cricket bat. Towards the end the bottom ring rope gets taken apart and used as a weapon, then Gedo sprays half a can of deodorant in Kitahara's face from about four inches away and I can't believe Kitahara never puked. The seedy WAR midcard extravaganza truly cannot be beaten.
