soup23 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I was really pleasantly surprised with this. Sasuke comes in with a lot of fire from the get go and that really forces TM to bring more intensity than I generally expect from him. The back and forth tonal shifts of this match fit in and the big dives looked dangerous and brutal to take. After some big dives the finale of the match is a big slugfest and Tiger Mask looking for the Tiger suplex before Sasuke is able to lock in a great choke forcing TM to tap out. This is probably the best TM singles match I can recall seeing at this point and time. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I really liked how this progressed, coming roaring out of the gate before settling into something more calm and then roaring again. This was a pretty desperate-feeling match as a result with both guys throwing it all at each other. The atypical layout made this match feel bigger than it was, and the frantic nature of the selling got everything over as something particularly damaging while also making this a match with high stakes. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonsault Marvin Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Sasuke had a great beginning to the match with a lot of fire and speed. A lot of this match felt weird to me, as I couldn't tell what was done on purpose or was a mistake. When Sasuke drops Tiger Mask, was Tiger Mask sandbagging or was he just escaping? When Sasuke almost falls off the turnbuckle, was he selling or was he legitimately slipping? No matter which, the match was compelling throughout. Good match.

Laney Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 This was a very different match than what I was expecting between these two. It started out fast, but then became gritty and uncooperative. Interesting to watch here and these guys pulled it off to make it entertaining. I'm not entirely sure if they were trying to cover up botches or if they were just trying to work a more realistic and stiff style. Either way, they pulled it off and put on a very good match. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 This was all right. I appreciated the strategy Tiger Mask used to grind Sasuke down but it was boring to watch and the botch off the facelock killed most of his momentum. I did like how Sasuke responded with the palm strikes and kicks and the choke submission. I suppose it was an interesting alternative to be nearfall happy or garbage happy, as was the trend at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yeah, I wasn't too hot on this. Felt kinda dull for the most part and it was kinda sloppy. They never did anything to keep me captivated and I never felt a sense of urgency from Tiger Mask during the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
