Chigusa Nagayo vs Lioness Asuka (6/13/87 - AJW)

Another awesome match from their classic rivalry. This is an especially great companion piece with their classic from February. This isn't on that level (few matches are), but it is an excellent match worked completely differently. At under 20minutes, it is about half the length of the February match and yet worked at a slower pace. They were basically doing a Joshii take on shoot style but selling more and allowing things to breathe. This was all submissions and strikes before the finishing run that included suplexes and a move off the top or two. Not surprising to get a great match from these two in this era, but pretty surprising how they went about it.
