soup23 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 This showed why I prefer Kojima as a worker to Tenzan. I thought Kojima brought more fire and focus in his match with Sasaki then Tenzan did here. Nagata started things out by wrestling and Tenzan simply couldn’t hang that well on the mat. That can play for storyline effect, but it came across as more Tenzan having to be lead. The finishing stretch was fun, but I didn’t think Tenzan again showed much resourcefulness or continuity in coming out ahead. It felt more like it was his turn to go on offense and he did. A good match but limited by one of the inhabitants from achieving more. ***1/4 (6.3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroBoy Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 This was good not great. Nagata here has more tools and can cut off Tenzan by going to kicks, going to the knee, or trying to take it to the mat. And they develop a nice dynamic of Nagata finding more ways to shut him down when Tenzan gets going with headbutts or Mongolian chops. Tenzan kills him with a sit out tombstone and overcomes him with a moonsault for the win. Tenzan being so lackadaisical and uninteresting on offense early holds this back from being more than good. ***1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 This isn't terrible, but I find Nagata is only as good as his opponent, and Tenzan isn't him. **1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
