I loved this match, it was every Dragon Gate main event raised to the next level. Yoshino has a simple plan to work the arm then finish the match with his sweet armlock (of which I do not know the official name). The first part of his plan is easily accoplished allowing for Yoshino to go for the armbreaker to set up his armlock like a shark to blood in the water. Mochizuki does his part in selling the arm like a champ and finding ways to escape the armlock, one of which was a nearfall that set this crowd ablaze. The crowd was HOT for the finishing sequence and bought into several nearfalls. Despite Mochizuki's best efforts and kicks Yoshino does finally apply his armlock to secure the victory. Alan4L was right this is a fantastic match. ****1/2

A suberb battle of attrition with Yoshino working over the arm despite Mochizuki's best efforts. Then things escalate even more with both having a who's the toughest exchanges with chops and kicks. Top it off the nearfalls that the crowd bought in and a great finish this was a sure banger for 2014.
