This left a great impression on the KOW. They dominated large portions of this match and while they didn't really focus on any one body part, they were clubbing and suffocating in a way that was really engaging to the viewer. Go has really strong chops but everything else he did here looked a little off and light compared to his counterparts. This was especially controlled with his windmill chop arsenal that resulted in some near falls down the stretch that didn't feel well earned. I thought overall Hero was actually the best worker with some brutal strikes and aerial moves from the jump up moonsault to the dive to the floor. This match never reached the next gear to make it great but it was certainly good and the finish of Claudio desperately trying to save Hero is really memorable. ***1/4
