They finally did it. They were able to combine the "human chess game" element of their 2 draws (and the Strong Climb match) and transition nicely to a good finishing stretch. I fucking loved the first 10 minutes or so with them just wrestling and fighting every inch to gain an advantage, there's nobody who does it better than them today and it's such a lost art in current wrestling. Hideki worked so fucking smart too, the ways he finds to get the upper hand never cease to amaze me, and the fact that he was always going for the win because he knew Daisuke ain't no one to fuck with - because he's the only one that has taken Suzuki to his limits every time they've faced each other - was a dope little touch. Hideki's defenses sometimes suffer because the first portion of the match is just him dominating and his opponent cant do much to make it compelling. This doesn't have any of that, stuff like Suzuki keeping the cravat locked in, even though Sekimoto was trying to break free with body slams and then flipping roles with Daisuke not letting go of a hammerlock even though Hideki was trying to break free with a snapmare is the type of shit I just adore in my wrestling. There's zero excess in this, there's barely any strikes and here's like 5 moves total. The finish came out of nowhere, but that's how the Strong division is, any move at any time can seal the deal. I realize not a lot of people will love it as much as me, but this was pretty much catered to my tastes. One of the best matches of the year
