Tarzan Goto Documentation #13

 

Tarzan Goto vs. Great Punk, FMW 9/23/1993 - FUN

Punk is Katsutoshi Niiyama. He rushes Goto at the start but things go awry for him quickly and Goto starts kicking him in the face and dumping tables on his head. Goto delivers a really great beatdown as he has so many different cool ways to kick the shit out of you, headbutts to the face, huge superfly splash off the top, slapping the hell out of Niiyama etc. It's weird though, if this was Tully Blanchard or whoever delivering this kind of bloody beatdown on someone it would be legendary and epic but since Goto has a great beatdown in pretty much every match he's in it feels like it's another match for him. So it depends on what Niyaama brings to the table, and Niyama doesn't bring much except some weak looking uranages and rollups. Still, a solid by the numbers match with Gotos numbers being really damn high.

Tarzan Goto vs. Masashi Aoyagi, Shin FMW 9/29/97 - EPIC

This delivers the kind of freak violence this matchup promises. Basically Goto hacks up Aoyagis face causing him to bleed like crazy almost immediately. Aoyagi in turn busts out a barbedwire kickpad and tees off on Goto, kicking him in the face and just tearing up his leg. The barbed wire kick spots hold up about as violent as anything else in deathmatch wrestling history, I'd rather take a lighttube over the head than get kicked by Aoyagi, the barbedwire just makes it way worse. I would have liked Goto to throw more punches but retaliating against the superior striker by chucking barbed wire boards at him works fine. This didn't have any kind of deep story or great transitions but the gore aswell as a pretty big finish and both guys being willing to take crazy punishment made it really engrossing.
