[2001-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World 2001] Masahiro Chono vs Kensuke Sasaki

[soup23]

Chono has the charisma and he does target the arm again which I was hoping to see.  The match falters in the ease of the transitions.  There was a lot of no selling and ease out of some big nearfalls and therefore the match felt like it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a sprint spotfest or something more substantial.  Sasaki does get his second win with a different submission and all of a sudden, he is in the finals. *** (5.8)

This match ends after the entrances since that's all Chono is good for.

I'm actually glad that they decided to just do random shit to pop the house.
