[2018-05-24-NJPW-Best of the Super Juniors] YOH vs Will Ospreay

[nivvad]

Ok, I'm finally getting the hype behind YOH. His first two matches in the BOSJ weren't as impressive as SHO's first two matches, but here against Ospreay he was able to shine really well. It wasn't a super exciting performance by YOH, but it did show that he has the potential to hang with a top junior like Ospreay, who was just as good as he usually is. One of the better matches of the tournament, ****1/4.

I thought that this was a great match as well, up until now SHO was the breakout star, while YOH has looked like the weaker of the team as far as them both being singles wrestlers go. But in this match with Will Ospreay, YOH showed a lot of heart against one of the absolute best workers in the world who can truly put on a great match with anyone. I also liked that YOH went after Ospreay's well known injured neck which gave him a fighting chance even though he ended up on the losing end. ****
