Posted July 1, 201213 yr comment_5508752 Great match, with Fuyuki working really hard and doing all the spots you'd expect from a B-team WAR guy. He wrestles as kind of a low-rent Tenryu here. Hase is consistently good and sells everything Fuyuki dishes out very well to get over the match. Started slow with little heat and really picked up in a big way as the match progressed. I don't know if I need to make a paradigm shift or what, but Fuyuki is very obviously the heel here, yet Hase is the outsider. I'm not sure why they would work the match that way (much like the elimination match just before this where the face/heel alignment seems off). Despite this being a midcard match, it's really wrestled more like a main event in terms of layout and kickout of big moves. Way, way better than I expected.
