Legendary match really unique style as 70s juniors work with a lot skill and urgency. Great dives were they destroy each other and the best thing is the matwork has struggle and smugness a true brutalness to it. Real tenchinque desplayed in matwork as they do a lot great grappling hold escape. Just wanted to nominate this cause lock for my list.

I didn't think this was nominated so I posted at pwo, but let me copy and add my comments here. I thought this match was strong and may be my favorite of the trilogy.
The matwork is strong here, but when things get heated this match takes off. Go seemed like he really wanted to win when he went after Fujinami’s leg and applied the figure 4. The tumble outside on the abdominal stretch felt like a big spot and then they went to war first brawling on the outside and then with high impact moves with a great sense of urgency. I am really digging late-70s Fujinami and am curious to see where this pairing goes from here.

This is the second match between these two, I reviewed the first one a few days ago and you can see that review here, it was the first Fujinami match I analyzed, Fujinami’s last opponent was a veteran that lived up to his reputation, he surpassed my expectations, Ryuma Go is very different, he’s Tatsumi’s contemporary, he’s another talented junior with a lot of potential and in this match he’s trying to have his hand raised against the wrestler of the year, it’s a tall task but he will try to pull it off. It’s even better than the last one, it felt like Ryuma had a chance, it felt like Fujinami was in trouble many times throughout the contest, at the end, logic prevailed and Fujinami was able to win the match after 20 minutes of great catch-as-catch-can wrestling, they wrestled a pretty fast-paced bout as you expect from Fujinami around this time. There’s no limbwork in this match but there’s a lot of tense moments related to the submission game, in fact, they did what I want them to do in their last match, they created great moments of struggle with a figure four leglock, it really felt like Fujinami was about to submit but he didn’t, he prevailed, he had a great comeback and found a way to get the win at the end.
I loved every bit of this match, Fujinami’s 1978 is one of the best years by any wrestler ever, his style is so unique, so ahead of its time that it’s almost difficult to believe that this took place in the year of our lord 1978, it isn’t as innovative as French Catch but it has an aura very difficult to describe with words, this is wrestling done to perfection.
Watch the whole year, Tatsumi Fujinami is awesome and I can’t wait to see what else he has to offer.
