[2001-01-13-IWA-Japan] Asian Cougar vs Disco Fury

I was so excited to get the chance to watch this. Cougar and Disco are both guys that I consider friends. Cougar's been my drinking buddy for over 8 years now, and Disco is close friends with my good friend Verne Seibert - which is one of those "If you're a friend of his, you're a friend of mine" type scenarios, and we all (Verne, Disco, Cougar, and I) have the Vancouver All Star Wrestling connection as well. Seeing them work together was a real trip for me.

 

I'm fairly sure this was Disco's first match in Japan (he also went over to work for M-Pro, if I remember correctly), and it just about killed me when the Korakuen Hall crowd popped loudly for his patented disco taunts early in the match.

 

The match itself is clipped down to five minutes of high spots, though for some reason they leave a little botch in as well.

 

Cougar, as always, has zero regard for his own well-being. About half the time, when he does his Chair Atomico it looks like he's going to break his neck. This is absolutely one of those times... and it isn't even the highest-risk move he performs.

 

Mainly, though: This was just a very special kind of marking out for me, seeing two of my friends working together, 17 plus years ago, to pop the crowd in f'n Korakuen. Warms my heart.

I intend to hopefully watch more Japan and Mexico this year as opposed to last and this is the first thing which piqued my interest. Cougar is someone who is new to me, while Fury had that bad match with Weed in ECCW approximately a year ago. Both men are wearing title belts, although I couldn’t tell you what each one represents. It turns out we only get extended clips of this, no full match. Disco ducks under the opening lock up attempts so he can do his best John Travolta impersonation that brings plenty of laughter from the fans in attendance. Springboard corkscrew to the outside by Cougar which not only takes out Fury, but a bunch of the ringside chairs as well. Slingshot leg drop for a two. After a high guillotine leg drop off the top, Disco throws Cougar through the ropes and again comes off the top turnbuckle, this time with a flip dive out onto him. The crazy dives to the outside don’t end there as Cougar covers the prone Fury with chairs, returns to the ring and hits a slingshot senton to the arena floor. Disco kicks out of a brainbuster, so Cougar immediately grapevines the leg, rolls him over and slaps on a straight arm bar from a seated position for the submission.
