On first watch, this feels like a solid candidate for best 90's AJPW match not involving the big 4+Jumbo and Akiyama. Somewhat rare for this era, they build the match mainly around matwork with some hot near falls off flying moves and it goes great. The bulk of the match consists of Fuchi stretching Kikuchi in all kinds of creative ways, and combined with Kikuchi's flexibility it all looks like it should paralyze nearly anybody else he could try that on. The phrase "every move matters" feels very apt here for how they give every single moment time to breath. The character work and tension is so great, and crowd is right there with them giving the match the attention it deserves.
