Dipping into the
archives with this one. I like both of these guys a whole lot but this wasn’t
great. This was Kawada’s first match back from injury and while there was some
decent drama surrounding the forearm, especially after Kawada hits the lariat,
I felt like they could have milked it a bit more here. Lots of early fire right
out of the gate and some great selling from Kawada after Hase plants him with
the uranage but then they slow things down…a
lot. The ground game wasn’t all that compelling and when Hase switches his
focus to Kawada’s leg, Kawada more or less no sells it to land a bunch of kicks.
I loved Kawada trying to slap his way out of the giant swing and the sheer-drop brainbuster
finish was molten hot but otherwise, a disappointing match-up considering the
two guys involved.
