Keiji Muto vs Dick Murdoch - NJPW 11/9/87

A great exhibition of wrestling that could have went either way.  Dick Murdoch is one of the most underrated wrestlers in history, and one of the stubbiest.  We need more stubby wrestlers nowadays.  Stubby wrestlers that can actually wrestle and none of this Brodus Clay moronic imbecilic ingrate shit.

This match started off as a respectful kind of ''let's go skill for skill'' affair, but it turned physical not long into it, with Murdoch's leg taking some punishment.  Murdoch stuck to his game plan throughout of  working on the arm, covering the face and even putting his dirty fingers in Muto's mouth.  Just a few little things that make Murdoch look great.  Muto was a good opponent for Murdoch as he brought a different style, with a faster pace high flying, along with the utilisation of kicks and strikes.  It was 2 different styles that complimented each other well to give us a good match.  You know you're in for a treat when you get wrestlers of this ability facing off against each other though.
