[2017-06-28-BJW] Hideki Suzuki & Yoshihisa Uto vs Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazumi Kikuta

Going into this match, I wasn't thrilled about Suzuki/Kawakami at Sumo Hall but afterwards, I'm really looking forward to it. A hot little build with the exchanges between Suzuki and Kawakami the obvious highlights but Kikuta continues to impress with his ability to take beatings. I really like how Suzuki makes applying the octopus hold look like work, the way he manipulates different parts of Kawakami's body. The elbow exchange was heated and Suzuki cutting off Kikuta's hot tag was awesome. I'm also loving these suplex hold submissions, this time with the dragon suplex hold on Kikuta. Another banger of a K-Hall tag match.

There's some really good work before and after that octopus hold too - first the weird chop combo, and then Suzuki selling the hell out of a short little Kawakami kick to make ya really believe it stunned him.
