I dug this a lot. Loved Akiyama’s opening rush, blowing off the ref and hyping up the crowd as he takes it Vader. Vader tries putting him in the corner and peppering him with these nasty little forearm shots but Jun fights for a German, with Vader hanging onto the ropes until Jun chops the arms out and delivers the big ole suplex. Both these guys were big bumping around, in and out of the ring. Vader chokeslams Akiyama onto the timekeeper’s table and then follows up with a powerbomb onto the floor. The midsection of the match is Vader-dominant, with splashes and clobbering blows and even a dang Fujiwara armbar. Akiyama tries going after the knee, zeroing in with a top rope dropkick, but Vader, more or less, blows it off. But he’s slower climbing up top, so Akiyama’s able to powerbomb him down and hits an Exploder for two. I liked Akiyama countering the cover off the chokeslam with the desperation armbar but it doesn’t do much and Vader launches him into the sky with a German suplex and then chokeslams him again, this time, pressing all that choice Vader beef onto his legs and shoulders to keep him pinned.
