I said it once, I'll say it again: if a match doesn’t involve Yoshiaki Fujiwara, it’s not really a pro-wrestling match. I kid, I kid, but seriously, Fujiwara was once again ruled the match with his great veteran prowess, time and again forcing Yamazaki back to the ropes as he zeroes in on Kazuo’s arm. Seriously, those ropes became Yamazaki’s second home. When Yamazaki realizes that taking the grap action down to the canvas is a bad idea against Fujiwara, he starts snapping off dirty kicks. It works to an extent but it also serves to further piss off Fujiwara, who starts jabbing and booting him out of disgust, like “Who the fuck does this young kid think he’s kicking?” The build to the arm submission finish was teased throughout, with Fujiwara briefly switching things up to the legs as a way to weaken some of Yamazaki’s kick. His kicks were on point, especially that solebutt, and he puts a little extra Dijon behind them toward the end of the match. Yamazaki’s able to deliver a low-bridging German suplex but Fujiwara responds with a sick piledriver, transitioning right into the kimura. Yamazaki again makes it to the ropes but after Fujiwara stuns him with a big slap, he’s back on the arm and quickly submits Yamazaki. An awesome "Take Your Kid to Work Day" match.
