Antonio Inoki vs Strong Kobayashi
Don't know much about Strong Kobayashi. If you're gonna name yourself strong, you better be badass though.
Shit brown wedgie trunks for Inoki again.
Strong doesn't seem to have much in the way of mat skills. Kind of a big flaw in this era unless you're a big hoss gaijin.
Strong rolling back in forth to torque Inoki's arm, despite the fact he is clearly holding it in place as he does so.
Strong just lets Inoki throw on the cobra twist.
Guess Kobayashi was a big star in IWE which was the successor to JWA, and wasn't as big as NJPW or AJPW, but was still a big enough deal that Kobayashi could be placed straight into a program with Inoki upon his arrival in NJPW.
Inoki busted open hardway.
German Suplex by Inoki for the win.
Strong isn't very good, but the match had a good finishing stretch.
