Jushin "Thunder" Liger Wins the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title for the First Time

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

The real reason why Jushin Liger won the title here, was because a week later, Hiroshi Hase was going to the Soviet Union with Takayuki Iizuka to learn sambo, where Hase developed one of his signature moves, the uranage.

Awesome mask

DAmn ! he beat Hase for that ! I should have known being 33 yrs old and being fan of japanese promotions since 91 ! But there was no youtube back then so tapes were way harder to find . I had best of Liger through RF video starting with Kiechi Yamada but dont think that match was on there . Cause I love Hase too ! So I think I would have remembered but maybe not . DAmn ! way to ramble . Sorry !

What a difference a costume makes.

[BurningDiscipline]

HASE FUCKIN HIROSHI.... that is all

[kilq]

the costume makes him look like lord zedd from the power rangers

that arm trap suplex is beautiful move. it's rare to see a suplex hold as a finisher anymore. bobby roode's version of the perfect-plex is the only one i can think of.

His mask was legit even back then. Reminds me of Dead Space. That's Hase, who he pinned, right?
