soup23 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 According to Cagematch, this is CIMA’s first appearance in M-Pro since his finals run at the J Cup. Only 9 minutes so It was sprinty, but everything done was executed really well. CIMA’s overall placement at the end of the year will be interesting. For some reason, it doesn’t appear that he has as much appearances on tape as in 2000 but maybe he has more than Cagematch is presenting. Still, looking over his listings, he is with traditionaly lower rated workers for the most part so he is having to overcome that detriment as well. In this match, his timing was excellent and the force he hits things like a dropkick really elevate him above most other workers in 2001. Yuasa becomes GAINA and has a long run in wrestling (still going today) but not much of a footprint. I thought he was good here dishing out punishment when on top and taking a beating when needed to. Overall, a fun match that I wish had lasted longer. ***1/4 (6.4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
