Among the best matches of the decade. Fujiwara and Saito is a makeshift alliance after the tournament was destroyed but it's a dream team and just ... works. Inoki and Saito have had the 1987 feud of the year and Murdoch is awfully inspired. A magical time period in pro wrestling.
@mattd-sc.bsky.social12/4/87. Inoki/Murdoch vs Fujiwara/Saito. Watch Fujiwara's body language throughout this mauling of Inoki. An apex predator up against the most dangerous prey. It builds and builds until Inoki can endure it no more and he starts firing back. It stops being sport and starts being mythic.
