Not sure what exactly to do with this one. Its obviously clipped, but I don't know how much. Nevertheless, I would strongly encourage checking this out for a few reasons:
You can see that a lot of the things we associate with the Dump vs Chigusa era of AJW came before them. This match has crazy heat with the girls crying in the audience and going fucking bonkers when their hero does something Sato & Ripper both look fantastic here. Seriously. Its no surprise that Jackie Sato looks great, but Monster Ripper deserves a reevaluation. People looking for a great heel vs face divide that doesn't go totally overboard like Dump Matsumoto should check this out. I LOVE the old AJW ring cover with the rose. I always enjoy that in these old matches. They do like 3 or 4 things you've never seen in a match before. Ripper climbs up to the apron and Sato hits her with a cross body block over the ropes taking both to the floor. WHAT? Ripper doing a bodyslam and following it up by falling on Sato and just biting the shit out of her leg.
Great shit that I would highly encourage watching.
