This was, seemingly, some manner of a chain match for Onita’s FMW Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Title.
It rules.
Do not misinterpret this. I am not telling you this is great. I am not saying that, in the pantheon of the great brawls, or even just the great FMW matches, there is a place there for this match. You do not need to see this. It is under six minutes, Bull Man is another nothing guy brought in seemingly to fill up some cards by giving Onita an impressive looking (foreign) big guy to get past to delay burning the big stuff so early on, and it’s fairly spartan as hell.
All the same it is very fun.
Wild Bull Man and Atsushi Onita have the sort of match in which going through its virtues is also simply going through a list of things that happened, as everything that happened in it is inherently good at worst and unbelievably sick as hell at best.
The match is almost entirely just punches and chair and table throwing. Masanobu Kurisu and Tarzan Goto get themselves involved to not only continue their issue, but also for Kurisu to get himself in on the action earlier by fucking BELTING Onita with a chair to the head on the floor. Bull doesn’t offer much of anything really, not even having much more than a competent punch to speak of (relative to other guys in a similar position throughout history, this is not nothing, it is nice, but also whatever), but Onita works it around him. Huge bumps for the chain whips, the standard beautiful all time energetic comebacks, hurling entire rows of hairs at Wild Bull Man’s gigantic ass wild bull skull as hard as possible, and the like.
Following a flurry of DDTs and a rarer enzuigiri, Onita puts on a Scorpion Deathlock seemingly rather than flowing the Fire Thunder on a gimme, and with Goto getting his own chair to hold ornery ass Masanobu Kurisu at bay, the shit assed gigantic rube taps out. Cue the surprise if you want, but you were never here to find out who won.
Another FMW fan cam match that is both decidedly Not Great, but also that absolutely whips ass, and will be worth the time of any other completionists out there.
