Strong Style History #5: The Island Deathmatches

While NJPW is often sublime, sometimes, it can be ridiculous. Strong Style Story’s Geoffrey Wessel and Lawrence O’Brien examines the complete debacles that were the two Island Deathmatches (Antonio Inoki v. Masa Saito, 10/4/19871 and Hiroshi Hase v. Tiger Jeet Singh, 12/18/1991, both from Ganryujima Island), the strange historical significance of the venue, and whether they were noble failures… or just failures.
