Return to MUGA

 Osamu Nishimura vs Shane Rigby, MUGA 1995/10/29

 MUGA from 1995 baby. Rigby is one of those catch guys from northern england. He is a pretty fun grappler, cool suplexes and has a certain unique flavor to him the way he would angle for submissions. Obviously there’s a bunch of cool matwork and submissions here, but also a surprising amount of aggression. Surprisingly Nishimura is the one who starts by cheapshotting Rigby, and Rigby fires off some low kicks at one point. They keep refusing to clean break with the referee admonishing them so much. Nishimura bitchslapping Rigby was a real fucker move. Then he even punches the ref, but he’s somehow not disqualified. The finish is this really nice struggle over a suplex before Nishimura is able to throw Rigby with a cool shootstyle looking northern lights suplex. Lots of cool grappling and moments throughout this, felt like something out of the 1930s.
