[2024-01-09-PPP-New Year Glory] Masato Tanaka vs Kentaro Hachisu

[Tenese Sarwieh]

Masato Tanaka may have shown signs of aging over the years, but he displayed an exceptional performance in this match. The bout commenced with intense mat work, gradually evolving into a captivating spectacle. Tanaka unleashed his aggressive side, relentlessly pummeling Hachisu at every opportunity. As a first-time observer of Kentaro Hachisu, I was thoroughly impressed by his resilience. He skillfully battled back from Tanaka's relentless assault, instilling belief in the lively crowd that he could secure a victory. The atmosphere was electric as spectators anticipated a possible triumph. However, Tanaka, unrelenting, concluded the match with a series of brutal Sliding Ds, leaving a lasting impression. This outstanding display has fueled my enthusiasm to watch more P.P.P. in 2024.
