Posted May 26, 20169 yr comment_5754754 BJW - 5/28/15 An easy 'modern strong style' tag team classic. Time limit draws miss more often than they hit but these guys went through hell and back for half an hour and didn't miss a beat. Uber-stiff and brutal at times, with Sato and Okabayashi both getting busted open the hard way. Things got a little chaotic and messy at times, but it never got too ridiculous and they always reeled the action back in. Everyone had a role to play, with Sekimoto being Twin Towers' ragdoll for a good chunk of the match and wonderfully selling the constant beat downs. Sato was crafty (and elbow-happy) as usual -- I liked his re-thinking the arm work early on. The strike exchanges got really intense and Ishikawa threw one of the meanest headbutts I've seen in awhile. By end of it, both Sato and Okabayashi were up on wobbly knees, slugging it out, and Okabayashi lands one final lariat of desperation, trying in vain to get the pin over and over again before the time limit expires. A good bloody drama.
