This match between Murdoch and Kox was a great brawl. Great punches. Both workers juiced. The All Japan crowd appeared to enjoy this match between these two American brawlers.

Second.
A compelling match full of fire. Murdoch and Kox really brought the hate and beat each other bloody. They had the crowd on the edge of their seats even though the match consisted of mostly punches. There is a great nearfall that I bit on too though. A really convincing brawl.

Tubby old white dudes punch eachother in the face for 20 minutes and it rules. Jesus why are old fat dudes so much better at wrestling?? Just the sucker punch from Kox alone that opens this is greater than what any skinny young dude currently wrestling can do. Most of the match is Kox beating down and cheapshotting Murdoch, who in turn comes up with all these great wind up punch combos. Despite this being No DQ Kox makes it a point to HIDE THE OBJECT. I guess keeping it in your pants is handier than carrying it around all the time and risk losing it. This is really about two guys with a variety of ways to hurt eachother, and a variety of ways to in turn put over that hurt. Kox is just ridiculous here, bumping huge, whipping his head back anytime he gets punched (a very minor but important thing he does better than just about anyone today). The best moment is easily when he eats the Calf Branding, coming up with the blood from his brow and this „Where am I?“ look on his face, and then he gets fucking kicked in the face with the saliva flying out his mouth... aside from all the great punches there are also some vicious stomps and knees from Murdoch that really look like they land with a ton of weight right on Koxs face. The crowd is really into Murdoch as a babyface, and while the match isn't super heated as a whole they react to all the key moments perfectly. To utter some criticism, the pace of the match (at roughly 20 minutes length) is a little slow, but really... this is two masters in their prime working their craft. And you get plenty of old style Brainbusters to top it off. Million star classic, really.

This isn’t a number 1 contender or anything but I thought I would give this a bump, as it is a really different flavor than any other match I am considering. As noted if you like punches, heel-dynamics, and blood this might be for you. But there is something timeless about if that I can’t quite describe.

Two badass bar brawlers punching each other in the face. Of course this is awesome.
