Vader vs Kawada

AJPW Excite Series 2000 - Tag 4 - 17.02.2000

Toshiaki Kawada vs. Vader

Knowing that it's their only singles match together you can't help but feel disappointed that they didn't go for a long Vader control segment. Imagine that with Kawada selling for it. And a few years earlier. But with that out of the way this was still a really good match.

The opening of the match was maybe my favorite thing, Kawada don't want to be caught by Vader but the big man cornered him so Kawada throw a defensive kick that caught Vader off guard giving the advantage to Kawada. Awesome.

Kawada then controled the first part of the match with a bunch of low kicks, PUNCHES, VADER HAMMERS!!!, not letting Vader escape through the ropes... Vader even had to use an eyepoke to stay in the match, it wasn't enough to take control of the match but a Body Attack out of the ring is, tho.
