That tag match was great to open up raw. I don’t want to see triple threat tag matches in general but wow they did it right

Saw the clip of the RKO out of nowhere.

The whole match is great. The rko was cool but a clip doesn’t do it juetice. It was really well timed within the match. I love the audience reaction that slightly delayed pop as everyone computes what they just saw

Kind of amazing that Yoshiaki Fujiwara is still wrestling at age 72, considering he wrestled every single year for the last 50 years and especially considering he had looked like a 70 year old since the 80's. Additionally, his match quality nowadays holds up surprisingly well. Props to the real shoot style OG.

I don't think he wrestled regularly in his later years, but Lou Thesz was active until his final retirement in 1990, aged 74, against Masa Chono.

In the last 10 years, Fujiwara had approximately 150 matches, which averages out to 1.25 matches a month. So while he hasn't been on the old NJPW type schedule, he is wrestling about as much as he did in the UWF, Reborn UWF and PWFG in the 80's and 90's.

The majority of his more current matches were in the context of Tag Teams though, so he gets more rest.

Sami's a good sport for letting Knoxville give his number out. He's apparently had thousands of texts and calls. Mind, it's probably a number set up just for this angle.

If he's working a mat-based style, I can see how that would work without him having to be heavily protected or a liability. Gives him a good reason to keep in good nick too.

Most of the shoot style guys have rather long carreers (even Sakuraba still wrestles regularly), so i guess not taking insane stunt bumps is good for your health, haha. Fujiwara also doesn't have a history of injuries (which is why he had matches in every single year of his carreer without taking one off), so i see why he can still work well.

What i find interesting though is that in the 70's, he had a feud against Bad News Allen about who has the strongest head (which is why a powerful headbutt is still his signature move), which had to be cut short because Fujiwara wasn't able to speak without stuttering anymore from the head trauma inflicted during the feud. Kind of impressive how that did not shorten his carreer.
