- Rikidozan vs. Killer Kowalski [CLIPPED]

2 Out of 3 Falls 1963 The 5th Annual World League Tournament Finals Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance The 5th Annual World League 1963 Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium Kowalski’s last ever singles match with Rikidozan. He appears to work with this in mind, as he just really gets down and dirty in this match. To me, the best type of “ace“ is a nice, stand-up guy who is driven to brutal, merciless rage by some asshole trying to kill him. This match brings that dynamic in spades. Rikidozan’s response is nothing short of spiteful. Really great stuff. Also features a cameo from THE DESTROYER
