Hi Chad. This wasn't very good. It was muddled and sloppy and Yone really stunk it up (you know, aside from KO'ing Hidaka with the Muscle Buster). I love that the ref fucks up Yone's rope-run spot. Hidaka tries to do some of his junior-y things but Yone's so awkward in how he handles them. The exchanges between Minoru and Hidaka were copy-and-paste from any other match you've seen them together in. Oh, and Otsuka was there, too. Yone sells his fisherman buster like death. But again, not very good.

 

 

I probably liked this better than Brennan but damn it was it a let down every time Yone tagged in. I thought Tanaka was a great punky little snot here with his kicks vs. Hidaka and Otsuka. Yone in comparison looked weak and completely awkward. This got too much time and had too much Yone to be good but was really on the brink of that without his presence. **3/4
