Hey. I
really enjoyed this. Although at times, it felt like I was watching
technically-proficient wrestling in slow motion, and the emotion factor didn’t
peek in until the end, this match felt genuine. Small things like the way
Tamura maneuvered himself over for a rope break. The strikes were hard and
heavy, especially from Tamura, and Watanabe had some great throws. After
Watanabe tweaks his knee following a top rope knee drop and blows the German
suplex bridge, Tamura goes after the leg, which becomes the focus of the final
act. Great finishing stretch and selling from Watanabe as Tamura blasts his leg
with kick after kick, taking him down for the ten count only for Watanabe to spirit
back to his feet. He tries to retaliate with some weak-looking headbutts only
to have his leg cut out from him again, and when that doesn’t work, Tamura
submits him with a leglock. Even the 20 people in attendance lit up in the end.
Solid, focused wrestling.
