This may very well be one of the top 5 best cage matches i've ever seen, and almost certainly the best Japanese one. This was the perfect time for these two to have this match as they are both at or near their peaks as performers and they show here why they were worlds ahead of what was being done here in the states at the time. Brutally Violent, to the point that this match wouldn't have been out of place on an FMW show, these two, in addition to being big badass women who beat the hell out of each other, they tell a great story where Nakano keeps attacking the arm, trying to incapacitate Kong's ability to use the spinning backfist. The seconds are also great as they both battle to help their respective charges, and in doing so make me want to see a tag almost as much as I want to see this match. These two pull out all the stops in order to defeat their rivals and when it's finally over you can't help but feel kind of relieved that they are done putting each other through that much hell...for the time being.
