[2016-02-16-AJPW] Hikaru Sato vs Ryuji Hijikata

[GOTNW]

There's nothing more depressing than watching two shoot style guys work through mundane pro style holds. Not bad, and I'd much rather watch a house show match between kickers than pretty much anything New Japan produces right now but nothing special either. They throw some nice kicks with Hijikata's sliding one being a highlight, and I liked how Sato leaned Hijikata on the apron instead of doing so on the ringpost which always looks stupid (especially with the missed ringpost strike being such a lazy transition) but they've seen better days. **1/2
