[2000-02-20-NJPW-Fighting Spirit] Masahiro Chono vs Kensuke Sasaki

[soup23]

This is the finale match of a NJ vs T2000 battle throughout the show. We clip to Chono gaining control and things getting tense on the outside with the surrounding members of each faction lingering around. Chono looks for the STF and then runs through a variety of leg submissions weakening those limbs so he can properly apply the hold. Sasaki is selling the leg damage well hobbling around even when he locks on a quick STF of his own for a second. Sasaki muscles him up for the brainbuster but has to recover a bit. He then locks on the submission and gains the victory ending the series in a tie. We got less than half of this but it looked fun in full and sets up the playoff match well. NR
