Satoshi Kojima vs. Ultimo Guerrero

CMLL Fantasticamania January 20: CMLL World Heavyweight Championship Match

The match begins with a collar and elbow tie up and a series of arm ringers before Kojima took Guerrero down to the mat with a side headlock. With both men back on their feet, the two men went back for another collar and elbow tie up and then a series of shoulder tackles and chops. Ultimo Guerrero brought Kojima to the “East” sign in Korakuen Hall and slammed Kojima’s head off the sign. In the stands, Guerrero hit Kojima with a running lariat before bringing him back to the ring. Insulting Kojima, Guerrero hit machine gun chops in the corner and Kojima did the same seconds later before hitting an elbow from the top rope. Kojima would later hit a cross body to the floor. The end appeared to be near when Kojima went for the lariat, but Guerrero blocked it and Kojima answered with a discus clothesline. The end did come when Ultimo Guerrero hit the Guerrero special from the top rope.
