Terry Funk & Hiroshi Ono vs. Shoji Nakamaki & Nobutaka Araya (Fire Match IWA Japan 11/13/94)
I was going to complain about how there wasn’t enough fire surrounding the ring. Its only on two sides. And then Nakamaki did a tope over one of those sides and I have no complaints. Sparklers are also shot down towards the ring. Terry is literally taking head-first slams into the fire. This is a wild scene. Terry literally picks up a flaming rag and tries to throw it at Araya. He runs around the ring with it in his hands. It’s on goddamn fire. This is outrageous. Just a completely insane spectacle. My big takeaway is that all matches should either be the Boneyard match or Fire matches. This really lacks any sort of coherent structure or narrative that I can see. On the other hand, Terry Funk is running around with on fire shit and throwing it at people. Funk piledrives Nakamaki onto some fire and not like oh he tries but doesn’t get really close. He fucking piledrives Nakamaki right into the goddamn fire. And then his AJPW music kicks in. Lets just say all of the stars.
