Two More from ZERO1

ZERO1 2015/3/29

KAI & Ryota Hama vs. Kohei Sato & Hideki Suzuki

Fun little by-the-numbers tag, KAI and Suzuki were building towards their W-1 Title match and it was good, the post-match stuff with Suzuki kicking the rookies around was hilarious. All that with a smirk on his face. Hama has solid chemistry with Sato and Suzuki.

Shingo Takagi vs. Masato Tanaka

Your typical Masato Tanaka rollercoaster (of moves), a full throttle tussle where “my turn-your turn” is the be all and end all. Lots and lots of slams, elbows, strikes, lariats and kickouts, there were no rest periods at all, everything was constant movement. Naturally, considering this is a Tanaka match, the closing stretch was an overkill of big moves and cheap kickouts. However, they did beat the living shit out of each other on many occasions throughout the match and I’d feel really bad not to label this match “good”. Shingo looks so compelling and fresh out of Dragon Gate.
