It's unbelievable looking back at this match, and realizing that THIS was my FIRST exposure to Japanese Pro-Wrestling... EVER!
Let me put it this way. This is how I thought MOST puroresu was!
Just amazing how much things can change! Still, this is an amazingly nostalgic match!
Here is a blurb from TheWrestlingMania that I think says it all:
Kendo Nagasaki Vs. Bruiser Okamoto Vs. Seiji Yamakawa Vs. Yosuke Kobayashi Vs. Yuichi Taniguchi (July 1, 1995) BJW Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan 5-Way Elimination Grocery Store Death Match A fridge, a toaster, a toy dispenser, a fishing net, a broom, bags of rice, cardboard, beer bottles and crates, an avocado, a bicycle, raw ham, cash registers, water melons, a large fish, and the most useful of the offensive weapons, whipped cream. If these are all items you desire to be used as weapons in a pro-wrestling contest, then this is for you. When Kendo Nagasaki gets tired of watching two youngsters fight in a make shift ring in the middle of a shopping complex in Japan, all Hell breaks loose. With hilarious production sound effects and music. An array of bemused, confused, and scared onlookers watching on. This is a death match that could only happen in Japan. Nevermind your Steve Austin and Booker T supermarket tussle, this has it all. Not to be down played by the humour though, this is brutal
Honestly, my favorite part of the match has to be a tie between the three-piece band and the cheerleaders!
...
Ok, it was the cheerleaders.
