Open the Brave Gate Championship:
Akira Tozawa vs. Kzy ©
Good
shit, Kzy worked over Tozawas’ arm in the beginning and it was a nice subplot
for the first half, the climax was dramatic with fine struggle to survive and
few very exciting nearfalls, all in all I enjoyed the match even with Tozawa
playing a godawful character.
***1/2

Open the Dream Gate Championship:
Uhaa Nation vs. BxB Hulk ©
Well,
fuck me sideways, this was so amazing, reminded me a lot on Uhaa/Ricochet from
the last year, truly incredible title match. Uhaa should open a school of
selling after this marvelous performance, my god he sold that leg perfectly, Hulk
went after it early in the match as an answer to Hulk’s nasty powerhouse moves
and it turned into a major plot point that eventually slowed Uhaa down during
key sequences in the closing stretch, the legwork paid off big time for Hulk. Uhaa’s
selling was really amazing and elevated the match to great heights, but Hulk
deserves tons of credit as well, especially considering this match came after
his horrendous performance in the Susumu title match where he flat out refused
to sell any leg damage, here it was the opposite, he was constantly attacking
Uhaa’s leg and was relentless in doing so, very Tanahashiesque I’d say. Not
only that, he also sold his back very well after Uhaa’s brief work over it at the
beginning.
So
yeah, all things considered the match was basically flawless, and everything
clicked and was executed perfectly. This was Uhaa’s last match for Dragon Gate
and he went out in such a style, with the ageless performance, now he’s the
owner of two arguably the greatest matches in company history.
