Posted June 14, 20178 yr comment_5803746 Here we are at M2K vs Crazy Max. Pretty much the feud that really put Toryumon on the map and sustained them for the next year at least. Makoto is in there besides SUWA but the other classic pairings are set up. M2K comes to the ring on their skateboards like the punks they are. Mochi goes through the biggest stylistic and cosmetic change and he looks really good in his interactions with CIMA and of course Fujii. CIMA has a little cut based off the pace and stiffness of this match. I think it was important for M2K to establish themselves with a win and they do that here when Makato gets pin. After the bell, the fight continues showing that this dilemma was far from being over. ***1/4
December 3, 20177 yr comment_5822970 I suppose M2K are just getting their act off the ground but it's kind of hard to get behind them as the guys who are gonna take it to Crazy Max. Not yet, anyway. I'm sure they'll take it up a notch from here but it wasn't the explosive kickstart that I was hoping for from this feud.
December 30, 20177 yr comment_5826022 This was a standard Toryumon spot show match which is a good thing as they keep it a lot more simple holding back a lot of their bigger stuff for the big shows. I thought Kanda looked good for the M2K side, but Crazy MAX against looked far superior to them, namely MAKOTO. I thought MAKOTO’s performance was flawless. He connected on everything and bumped perfectly for M2K’s offense, namely their double team moves. The pace also picked up in the second half when MAKOTO was in. Overall I thought this was good. M2K didn’t look that strong in victory, but that’s mostly due to their performance. ***
