Simple match but a very good introduction of Yamada for the British fans. He hit a bunch of big spots and looked great doing it. Moran also played his role really well, stooging and bumping when appropriate but making his stuff look like it hurt when he went on offense. This wasn't high-end stuff but well done for what it was. And I assume people will be interested to see Yamada in England. So, it's a nomination.

This was okay, I guess. Yamada didn't work the British style, which made it pretty worthless to me, but in terms of Moran working with a guy who was coming in and doing a lot of juniors spots it was a pretty good showcase. I guess I would put it in the same category as Jones/Hart and Yamada/Rocco as matches I don't really care for stylistically that most people will expect to be on the set.
