The match didn't quite build to the climax I hoped it would, but it was a good teaser. I'd like to see these guys in a 25-minute match with a clear winner and loser.

This had some good stuff that made me primed to see another match between the two--despite, or even because of, Hashimoto's rather cheap victory. Somehow this worked for me a lot more than the non-pinfall in the SWS match. Seeing Hash and Vader whale away on each other sounds like something I could watch all day.

Hash looking slim. I feel like getting our knees up to block a Vader splash still would hurt the hell out for you. I don’t think anybody has hit a splash/clothesline attack when an opponent has been up against the ring post. Boo, Vader gets counted out. That was cheap.

Hashimoto starts fast, including a bodyslam, and ends fast. The rest of this is all Vader.

 

I don't think this finish was all that cheap, considering the pounding Hash took. I clearly got the sense that he was lucky, but he was also smart enough to avoid an obviously telegraphed avalanche against the post. They sure weren't going to have Vader beaten clean, so if they wanted a victory for his opponent to build a feud, it was either this or some kind of DQ.

 

I was surprised that Hash got to slam Vader so early in the match. Most promotions would have saved a spot like that for closer to the end, when it would have brought down the house.

This felt like it was the first step in a longer feud, and by reading the comments I'm led to believe that we'll get another match next year, which is great. Definitely felt like they held back for this one, but it was still good.
