Riki Senshu vs. Osamu Kido, Riki Office 2/11/2007
Choshu imitaro Riki Senshu is questionable, but him booking himself against puro legends
provides entertainment. Kido is really old here but quite the maestro,
he has some really fun and spry armwork and a cool reversal of Senshus
Fake Scorpion Deathlock. Senshu clocks him with a pretty hard lariat but
falls to the Kido clutch. I think this went 7 minutes or so but it was a
cool match for Old Man Kido.
Riki Senshu & Tatsumi Fujinami vs Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Yuki Ishikawa, Riki Office 9/25/2011
Another entertaining Senshu match. Fujiwara and Fujinami were
definitely collecting paychecks here, but their sections are still fun.
And Senshu came across like an eccentric guy who was far weaker than
Choshu but using his style effectively. He also took a beating from
Fujiwara. Ishikawa had some decent sections against him but the match
was a bit too short to make room for another transcendent Ishikawa
performance. Still fun to see.
Riki Senshu vs. Kenji Fukimoto, Riki Office 1/14/2008
These two are Kurisu trainees and they produce a really great, serious
sleaze brawl with old school psychology, the first real gem of this last
footage motherload. Opening was a lot of fun with Senshu smacking
sleazeball Fukimoto around and hitting cool neck chops, establishing
him as the more dominant force. As soon as they spilt to the floor they
went to town with absolutely hideous chairshots on each other. Fukimoto
was able to brutalize and bloody Senshu but because of Senshus bomb
dropping style Fukimoto quickly became the underdog. I have to say
Senshu looked great here, his mixture of head trauma and slowly bleeding
out selling kept things interesting and made him look vulnerable, and
his out of nowhere backdrops and lariats ruled. It builds to a hard
fought bomb dropping war with some neat learned psychology that was done
right and leads to an absolutely crazy bump that was sold perfectly and
added to the match. Also have to say Senshus slow, half dead kickout
was one of the best I've ever seen. I really have to give these two a
ton of credit here, for two indy sleazeballs they really went all out to
create their masterpiece here, it easily could have been a cringy mark
show but it ended up violent and engrossing, they nailed it.
