[2018-06-10-Dragon Gate-King of Gate] Masaaki Mochizuki vs Masato Yoshino

[nivvad]

Both men in this match are tied 1 to 1 in title matches, so this particular match would be for all the marbles after a great reign for Mochi and a great tournament for Yoshino. I wouldn’t say it was as good as their previous matches, but this was still a wild match with lots of strikes and fast sequences of course. The main flaw with it though is the finish. They tried going for a rollup sequence for a title change, but it wasn’t executed well and came off looking like a botch. Regardless, Yoshino goes into the Kobe main event as defending champion against the only man who pinned him in the tournament, Shingo Takagi, ****1/4.
