Ohtani Shinjiro vs Ultimo Dragon

[parkourXDDDDDDD]

this is dragon

[SCBianchi]

Does this federation have more belts than wrestlers?

[perrrrkleh]

@SCBianchi

Actually most belts these days happen to be kind of cross-federation championsihps.

For example a while back Tajiri was FCF (Fightclub Finland) champion, while wrestling in Japan.

[WildPegasus91]

Ohtani is fucking incredible, listen to him work that crowd over; how many Juniors can get a crowd as emotionally invested into a match like Ohtani could? He's a momentous Face, he's a damn psychotic stiff Heel, and no matter the role he is always exciting, and he's always remained relevant in the wrestling world; Three cheers for Ohtani's excellence!

BTW, i really feel the crowd would have preferred an Ohtani win here, they would have exploded.

[kingjezza]

At 13:42 is as close to 2.9999999999 count as you can get ... The last 5 minutes  are absolutely insane!! Great match

[Inediblehulk]

Nice to see armbars given the respect they deserve. The jujigatame is not a rest hold!

[Suriel1981]

I become a bigger fan of Shinjiro Otani every single match I see of his. This one was no exception. BIG thumbs up!

[njdevilsthreecups]

What date is this match from?

[brocklock09]

August 3rd or 4th 1996

[kforcer]

I love these guys. And their submission technique is so fluid and flawlessly executed. Its crazy how they are world-class technical wrestlers and submission artists and at the same time bend the laws of physics with their high-flying.

Are these guys mutants...?

biggiesmaus &

retrograderenegades 1 of the big reasons why stingturned down the wwe (also the fact that the wwe would not recognize him ever )

[biggiesmaus]

things that piss me off, is when little kids are like, "all wrestling except wwe sucks, wwe is the best rey mysterio is so much better than ultimo." kids these days need to understand that wwe is not the only thing in the world. vince mcmahon basically conquered the wrestling world with his mainstream shit, just like music is doing to the music industry. the only way to watch actually decent wrestling is tna or roh or new japan. they still hold spirit of wrestling, not the spirit of money.

[retrograderenegades]

Yeah I agree the kids today are oh Batista is the bestest wrestler ever zomg I love love love Jeff Hardy he can beat anybody, it's ridiculous. I think it's a shame the kids today don't have any knowledge of the true workers who perfected their craft because they loved it. Guys like Benoit, Hart, Jericho, Malenko, Liger, Dragon, Storm. I love when a kid tells me John Cena is a great wrestler it's pathetic.

[MarioMetroidFan]

@biggiesmaus Wouldn"t say that about TNA.Agree on all the other parts.

[biggiesmaus]

@MarioMetroidFan of course, i posted this with the knowledge of 2002-2004 TNA wrestling. I have no idea how they operate now.

[MsJesusgod]

@biggiesmaus you can tell this is from a year ago cause tna wouldnt really be in this category anymore which is HELLA sad since they had everything going for them but a buncha fucktards have ran it into the ground i feel bad for their wrestlers

[mikeyboy7777777]

@biggiesmaus and in japan it's stiff which i really really like you can't fake it when somebody kicks you in the face with all his power and the great stars ofcourse

[WrestlingFanCritic]

@biggiesmaus i agree, but tna also fucking sucks

[KOPunchopenarena]

@biggiesmaus

I agree with you except with the TNA part. ROH like the old ECW and New Japan is defenitley quality wrestling. TNA is not and that company is basically WCW 2.0 - but they had alot of great talent that were misused, Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniels, Petey Williams, etc...

[biggiesmaus]

@KOPunchopenarena I have no idea what TNA does now. I watched them back when they were still merged with NWA, I appreciated an internationally recognized program still coveting the old NWA championships of the past. Now I'm hearing that they change title belt designs, what, every week, and really are not the quality they used to be.

[HowTingz]

@biggiesmaus

TNA is shit yo. All they got is a bunch of rejects, washed up farts and wasted talents.

I LOVE ROH but sometimes they go too far with the near falls and stuff for moves that really should have ended the match (once they cut that down a bit they'd be perfect)

WWE is going the economic role and that's great for them if they wanna try different aspects.

As for NJPW, NOAH, AJPW and BJW that's where the best wrestling is.

Mexico too but Japan has it locked!!! MAN I LOVE NJPW THOUGH ♥♥♥♥

[MarioMetroidFan]

3:40 Shinjiro Otani was great! lolololol

[henrymarriottczw15]

I consider this to be one of the greatest matches ever in wrestling history. This match ranks up with Tiger Mask vs Dynamite Kid matches from the early 1980s. If a wrestling fan does not give this an easy 5 star rating, then your not a true wrestling fan .I've said it a billion times before, and that is that Japanese wrestling is by far the best wrestling in the world. They do the best wrestling, best deathmatches and the best high-flying jr heayweight matches in the world....

[retrograderenegades]

Even Bret Hart said nobody does wrestling like the Japanese and that they've perfected the art

[GDM54]

One of the best super junior matches of all time. Up there with Benoit/Sasuke. Otani had a couple of awesome matches with Liger around 96/97 as well. He could get a crowd going crazy with all his over the top facials. Easy *****

[smrawecw]

this is the stuff

[rubendierickx]

Cool

[adam765432]

Great match

[twinkie34005]

You want more Ultimo Dragon?

[azrielseclements]

wow...at around the 10 min mark you'll see an armbar that WWE would be too scared to use in case Randy Orton rips his shoulder again, lol

[7xradzam]

really nice moves!!

[zephryfunk]

tope con hilooo!!!

[bighustle89]

it doesnt get any better than this both r great but ultimo is da best awesome match the crowd loved it ultimo dragon is the greatest little man ever to lace up a pair of boots ive seen all his matches from japan to mexico to wcw and wwe in my opinion he is the best cruiserweight wrestler ever great match great storytelling and great counter 4 counter display

[dragon36194]

i heard that ultimo dragon has changed his name to dragonkid

[davidducker]

Dragonkid is Ultimo Dragon's student.

[FlowerFlo1983]

Definetly one of the best matches I've ever seen! A great example of puroresu.

[Greevas]

Even though Wrestling usually is seen as scripted, this match shows how good it can be if both athletes give their all...

[caprichief]

Dragon showed so much heart as Ohtani was whooping his ass. I thought Ohtani was gonna pull it off with the fighting spirit he had at the end, but Ultimo fooled him, then bam Running Lyger Bomb bitch! Great match. ***3/4.

[MacMan804]

You highly underrated this match my friend. I'm willing the give it the full ***** because of how dramatic the final moments went. Ohtani was on fire here.

[prowres]

Thanks for uploading this, awesome match. Ohtani should have won it though.

[Brennaf]

Yes LUCAS316, this is indeed ''the famous 1996 match''.

[Mew2V1]

well entertaing match better than WWE

[Somethingforgotten]

ultimo owned d malenko

[Somethingforgotten]

ultimo rules

[LUCAS316]

This is a pretty good match and Dragon music is so corney. By the way is this the famous 1996 match

[UnrealFiction]

Shinjiro acts very cocky at the beginning, then goes into panic mode with so many near falls, and finally at the end there's a begrudging show of respect. It's the little things. Good match.

[ArmandECW666]

Great match..pfft wwF/E rarely uses talented athletes right..M. Holly, B. Kendrick, J. Noble, P. London, Helms, S. Crazy, Benoit, D. Malenko (when he wrestled)..just to name a new, Yeah there starting to use them now but still & now that the wwEcw signed CM Punk, they probably won't use'm right either..anyway as I said before, this is a great match, nice upload

[Blundetto]

that was a seriously awesome match.

[EawAction]

ultimo is best and asai ddt too

[transclarity]

treeeeeemendous match. how do you not love ohtani

[essay87]

wait a minute the wwe did use ultimo! did you mean they didnt use him right?

[essay87]

Its a good thing WWe never used him.

[pepeatumi]

Ultimo Dragon... Yet another great wrestler that the WWE never used.

[AAFB]

i love ultimo dragon.

hope we get more quick athletic matches uploaded.
